Tungsten Mining NL took a strategic view on Tungsten in 2015.
-
Acquisitive & Opportunistic
-
Establishing a portfolio of advanced tungsten (scheelite) development projects delivering control of a massive inventory of contained metal
-
Mineral Resources* of 177 Million tonnes at 0.14% WO3, containing more than 25.5 million MTU (metric tonne units) of WO3 (255,000 tonnes contained metal) at a 0.05% cut-off grade.
-
Mt Mulgine Strategic Development Plan focused on concentrate production in early 2019
-
Delivering scalability
==> picture [323 x 255] intentionally omitted <==
- Comprising Measured Resources of 9.5Mt @ 0.16% WO3, Indicated Resources of 55.7Mt @ 0.14% WO3 and Inferred Resources 111.7Mt @ 0.14% WO3 (refer next slide: Includes Mineral Resources for Watershed Project pursuant to acquisition agreement)
