Tearsall Application
“We are very pleased with the decision of the Full Authority to
approve the proposal to extend Tearsall open pit. In the current
economic crisis, it is good news for employees both at Glebe Mines and
our operation in Runcorn.
The proposal is short term and temporary; and the operation restricted
to a relatively small area surrounding the site. Glebe recognises
the unique qualities of the Peak Park and we have a long-standing
commitment to protecting the environment and restoring the land after
extraction.
We will continue to work closely with the Peak Park, its consultees and
stakeholders, to ensure that we keep them informed of progress both
during the operation and restoration phases.
We are committed to securing a continued supply of UK fluorspar, whilst
minimising the environmental impact of our operation. We take our
environmental responsibilities very seriously and are confident our
extensive remediation plans will deliver this commitment for
Tearsall.”

Glebe Mines are pleased to report that the clean up of Stoke Brook has now been successfully accomplished.
Local consultant ecologists, Penny Anderson Associates, have now
completed the final part of the remediation work in Stoke Brook and the
River Derwent.
The deposited material was cleared from the watercourse using
specialist equipment, which ensured that the meadow and banks were
protected throughout the process. All recovered material was
returned to Cavendish Mill.
A Public Meeting was organised on the 12th November by Penny Anderson
Associates and the Environment Agency. During the meeting it was
agreed that further assessments were required down stream in the River
Derwent.
We can confirm that these have now been carried out and it is not anticipated that any further work will be necessary.
