The Fight for Wheal Jane
' If you ask whether this mine could survive, the answer's a resounding yes. If you ask will it survive, then that's anyone's guess.' On 26 April 1978, the giant mining group Consolidated Gold Fields announced that it was to close the Wheal Jane tin mine, near Truro in Cornwall. Seven days later 500
Cornish tin miners descended on London to lobby Parliament. The fight to save Wheal Jane had begun.
Five weeks later, as the RADIO TIMES goes to press, the final outcome is still uncertain. Wheal Jane 's chances have gone up and down like a yo-yo. There have been endless late-night bargaining sessions in London, a government rescue attempt, and a mystery takeover bid from a company identified only as ' Firm X'. The Risk Business cameras followed day-to-day events at the mine and looked at the background to the decisions being taken 300 miles away in London - the wheeling and dealing on London's Metal Exchange, the international politics of tia pricing, and Consolidated Gold Fields' poker game with the Government.
