**Summary**
First Tin PLC, a tin development company with projects in Germany and Australia, announced that its subsidiary, Taronga Mines Pty Ltd (TMPL), has secured an agreement with the Glen Innes Severn Council (GISC) to establish a mine camp on GISC-owned land near Glen Innes Airport. The site, previously earmarked for a pilot training center, will host approximately 50 accommodation units and supporting facilities. The agreement was ratified in July 2025 and negotiated on commercially acceptable terms.
Key benefits of the location include
1. **Strategic transport management** Reduces project-related traffic through Glen Innes township and provides parking for company buses.
2. **Existing infrastructure** Access to water, power, and sewerage services.
3. **Community impact** Avoids placing pressure on Emmaville’s infrastructure (population <500).
First Tin CEO Bill Scotting praised the agreement as a significant step for the Taronga tin project, highlighting its mutual benefits and strategic importance. The company aims to bring two tin mines into production within three years, addressing global tin shortages and supporting clean energy initiatives.
