Quarterly Report – March 2015
Highlights
Kilba Project, Ashburton Region, Western Australia
Mineral Resource Update
-
On 30 January 2015 Tungsten Mining released its updated Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Kilba Project, comprising an Indicated Resource of 4.1 million tonnes at 0.25% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 0.83 million tonnes at 0.20% WO3 for a total of 5.0 million tonnes at 0.24% WO3 at Zones 8, 11 and 12 (Refer to Table 1). Infill drilling completed in the second half of 2014 has improved the confidence level to 86% of contained metal falling within the Indicated category.
-
There has been a 50% increase in contained metal at Zone 8. Future drilling to be directed at extending the resource to the west.
Metallurgical Test Work
-
Metallurgical test work has produced a 53% WO3 concentrate at a yield of 38% via simple gravity techniques.
-
Recent flotation tests have confirmed that 91% of WO3 contained in the middlings have been recovered, increasing WO3 yield (gravity and flotation combined) to above 75%. Yield is expected to increase further with completion of test work on gravity tailings.
-
Work continues on float optimisation to improve concentrate yields and grades.
Studies
- Work is progressing on mining studies including pit optimisations following the update of the geological block model.
Corporate
- Mr Gary Lyons appointed Non-executive Chairman with the retirement of founding director and nonexecutive chairman Mr Patrick McManus. Mr David Sanders resigned as a director with effect from 31 March 2015.

Kilba Project
Tungsten Mining NL (ASX:TGN) (“the Company”) is pleased to report on progress at the Kilba Project in the Ashburton Region of Western Australia. As reported in the last quarter, drilling completed in the second half of 2014 continued to intersect significant high-grade tungsten mineralisation. To date TGN has drilled a total of 37 diamond holes and 158 RC holes for 17,172 metres on the 100% owned and granted Mining Lease 08/314 at the Kilba Project (Figure 1).

Tungsten Mining’s recent activities have focused on Zones 8, 11 and 12 where previous drilling in the 1970s/1980s by Union Carbide Corporation intersected high-grade tungsten mineralisation. Recent exploration has identified strike extensions to the mineralised horizon east of Zone 12 and these will be investigated further.
In May 2013, the Company announced a Maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at Zone 8 and Zone 11 of the Kilba project (ASX announcement; 31 May 2013). In August 2014, the Company commenced a phased drilling program with the objective of increasing the confidence level of the Kilba Mineral Resource at Zones 8 and 11 to an Indicated status in support of future detailed feasibility studies. Phase 1 drilling confirmed continuity of high-grade zones at Zone 8 and Zone 11 and Phase 2 drilling completed during the December quarter infilled sections to a 40 metre spacing over the May 2013 Mineral Resource.

Mineral Resource Update
During January 2015, the Company announced an updated JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.0 million tonnes at 0.24% WO3 at Zones 8, 11 and 12 of the Kilba Project (Refer to Table 1). The Mineral Resource estimate has been completed by CSA Global Pty Ltd in accordance with the guidelines of the Joint Ore Reserve Committee (JORC) Code – 2012 Edition (refer to ASX announcement; 30 January 2015).

Mineralisation was interpreted in 3D and 0.025% WO3 grade envelopes defined. Hard boundaries between the grade envelopes were used to select sample populations for grade estimation by Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK). The block model was constructed using a 20mE x 10mN x 10mRL parent block size, with subcelling to 2mE x 1mN x 1mRL for domain volume resolution. The search radii were determined by means of the evaluation of the semi variogram parameters, which determined the kriging weights to be applied to samples at specified distances.
No grade cutting was applied as MIK was used for the grade interpolation. The median grade was used for the last bin defined for MIK, as this bin is likely to contain occasional very high values giving a more conservative value for positively skewed data than the mean.
A range of lower cut-offs have been used to report grades and tonnages, as shown in Table 2 and Figure 2. This demonstrates that within the overall Resource there are significant high-grade zones of tungsten mineralisation.

Metallurgical Test Work
In 2013, Mintrex Pty Ltd were engaged to oversee preliminary metallurgical test work (phase 1) on one composite from the Kilba Tungsten deposit. 332 kg of PQ core from hole KDD0016 in Zone 11 was supplied from which a 180 kg composite was made. The sample for testing was based on achieving a grade of 0.43% WO3 – considered, at the time, to be the average ore grade.
Phase 1 test work consisted of standard comminution test work, mineralogy, magnetic characterisation, wet tabling and heavy liquid separation (HLS). The major take away from the test work was that the sample supplied was amenable to gravity separation. Heavy liquid separation (HLS) testing showed that between 84% and 97% of WO3 was recovered and 50% to 55% of gangue material removed prior to beneficiation, depending upon particle size. For example, for the -5mm +0.045mm sizing, 90.3% of the WO3 was recovered and 53.9% of the weight rejected as gangue at SG 2.9.
The report identified technical gaps that would require further test work phases.
In October 2014, the Company together with its consultants and Nagrom laboratories designed a Phase 2 test work program to address these gaps. Set out below is a report on the status of the Phase 2 test work program and details of the upcoming work program.
The Sample
The sample for the Phase 2 test work consisted of “reserve” material from Phase 1 and HQ core from the 2013 drilling program; combined into a single composite to provide enough sample mass to ensure that the entire program could be completed as well as mimic the deposits average grade and mineralogy type.
Table 3 below shows that the composite sample for Phase 2 test work and how it more closely resembles the Kilba deposits average grade compared to the Phase 1 composite, based on the geological model at the time.

- This represents the Kilba Deposit Average based on the published Resource Estimate for zones 11 and 8 as at the date of preparing the sample – October 2014.
Test Work Program
The major aims of the Phase 2 program were to;
-
Confirm the HLS results in the Phase 1 program with respect to the percentage of gangue removal prior to beneficiation in a continuous DMS pilot plant.
-
Confirm the HLS result in the Phase 1 program with respect to the yield of WO3 in a continuous DMS pilot plant.
-
Quantify the deportment of WO3 and other major components throughout the test work flow sheet.
-
Confirm flotation technology as a method of recovering WO3 and cleaning of concentrate.
-
Quantify a final WO3 concentrate grade and yield.
-
Using the results of the test work, develop a conceptual plant design.
Test Work Results
DMS Pilot Plant
Feed material was stage crushed to p100 3.35 mm and screened at 0.3 mm to remove the -0.3 mm material prior to DMS test work. Table 4 below shows the result of the continuous DMS pilot plant rig.
Table 4: Continuous DMS Pilot Plant Rig Results
| Circuit | Circuit | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DMS Pilot Plant @SG 2.8 | Mass Yield |
Dist'n WO3 |
WO3 | S | **Fe2O3 ** | SiO2 | CaO |
| % | % | % | % | % | % | % | |
| Concentrate | 58.10 | 53.20 | 0.35 | 0.30 | 6.46 | 47.40 | 19.19 |
| Tailings | 18.60 | 1.20 | 0.03 | 0.09 | 2.30 | 62.42 | 11.76 |
| calc head | 76.70 | 54.40 | 0.27 | 0.25 | 5.45 | 51.04 | 17.39 |
As the results show, the DMS pilot plant has removed 18.6% of the total circuit mass as tailings with a loss of only 1.2% of contained WO3 when adding in the -0.3 mm material removed prior to the DMS test.
Compared with the result of HLS test work in phase 1, the quantity of tailings removed via the DMS pilot plant was much less (18.6% vs 53.9%) at similar SG (2.8 vs 2.9). However, loss of circuit WO3 via the DMS pilot plant (1.2%) was less than that lost via HLS (9.8%). This in some way reflects the difference in testing a sample on a bench scale vs a continuous test rig. Confirmatory test work is recommended for future test work phases as this will be integral in the design of the processing plant.
Wet Tabling
Concentrate from the DMS pilot plant was combined with the -0.3 mm material removed prior to the DMS pilot plant run and hydrocycloned to remove ultrafine contaminants as cyclone overflow.
The cyclone underflow was screened, stage ground and subject to a number of wet tabling/panning stages to maximise the recovery of WO3 into a concentrate for cleaning via flotation. This included re-tabling of middlings fractions from previous table runs. Table 5 below shows the results of the wet tabling gravity separation.

| calc head | 100.00 | 100.00 | 0.35 | 0.40 | 7.40 | 63.43 | 25.15 |
The results show that at the conclusion of wet tabling/panning, a 52.9% WO3 concentrate was produced with a yield of 38.2% to the concentrate.
Both S and Fe have both upgraded to the concentrate, with flotation and magnetic separation test work planned to separate them from the WO3.
42.9% and 18.90% of the circuit WO3 deported to the middlings and tailings respectively.
Flotation
7 (tests 1 to 7) pre-flotation tests using cyclone overflow material (tailings) were completed to determine the optimum flotation conditions in order to maximise the yield of WO3 from the middlings and to clean the final concentrate.
To date, 5 flotation tests (test 8 to 12) to recover WO3 from the middlings have been completed, with each test having slight adjustments to the chemical regime in response to the results of the previous test. Conditions for the subsequent tests were decided upon by Nagrom, in consultation with the flotation houses and Tungsten Mining’s metallurgical consultant.
The final test competed to date, test 12, has produced a pleasing outcome, with ~ 91% of the WO3 in the middlings being recovered to the middlings concentrate. This is the direct result of dropping the pH from >9 to 7.5. Table 6 below shows the result of test 12.

Upcoming Test Work
The WO3 recovered from the middlings flotation test work will combine with the concentrate from the wet table gravity separation for cleaning. The upcoming test work to conclude this phase will consist of;
-
Concentrate cleaning, consisting of magnetic characterisation to remove any magnetic Fe constituents, sulphide flotation and scheelite flotation.
-
Subject to final test results and budget consideration, recovery of WO3 from tailings via flotation.
Other Studies
Based on the test results to date, work on the conceptual flow sheet and plant design appears as though a process plant will consist of crushing, screening, HPGR/rod milling, ball milling, gravity separation, flotation, thickening and filtration technology. This is very similar to recent tungsten processing plant designs completed elsewhere. The cost effectiveness of a pre-scalping DMS stage prior to beneficiation will need further assessment based on the phase 2 test results. This will need to be addressed in the next phase of test work, with a focus on the Kilba deposits variability.

Mining and Pit Optimisation Studies
Since completion of the Kilba Resource update in late January, Tungsten Mining have taken the updated geological block model and converted it into a regularised mining block model to support detailed mining planning. Pit optimisation studies are currently being completed and this work will be used in conjunction with the results of the metallurgical test work program to inform and define project development options and feasibility studies.
Koolyanobbing Project – Seabrook Rare Metals Venture
In November 2014 Tungsten Mining and Cobre Montana NL (ASX:CXB) entered into a binding agreement that provides for CXB to explore for lithium and other metals, on the shores of Lake Seabrook, approximately 60 km north-east of Southern Cross, Western Australia. The agreement concerns tenements comprising Tungsten Mining’s Koolyanobbing Project, notably E77/1853, E77/1854, E77/1855, E77/2021, E77/2022 and E77/2035 and extends to an area of influence of 20km outside of the Tungsten Mining Tenements. The Seabrook Rare Metals Venture provides CXB with a right to earn an 80% interest to all metals other than tungsten, the right of which remain or are vested in Tungsten Mining.
On 20 October 2014, CXB announced lodging an exploration licence application for prospective ground at Lake Seabrook, covering pegmatites which contain lithium mica, beryl and tourmaline.
CXB have advised that work undertaken during the quarter included geochemical control traverses covering tungsten mineralisation and extending into the mylonites. The samples have been despatched to Perth and are awaiting assay.
