Tungsten Slowly Making Its Way Up the Global Critical Metals List

At the Geological Society of South Africa’s 2013 GeoForum conference in Johannesburg last week, Core Consultants MD Lara Smith8 pointed at three metals (or groups of metals) that will be at a high risk of supply scarcity from 2015.

Smith explained that while the European Union and US Department of Defense don’t wholly agree on all the metals they consider critical, tungsten, tantalum9 and rare earths10 are without a doubt at the top of both their lists.

Smith also said that in recent years, tungsten supply has not been able to keep up with rising demand, which has necessitated the sale of tungsten stockpiles by the Chinese, Russian and American governments.

“Based on China’s decision to limit exports to the rest of the world, we estimate that the primary tungsten market is in deficit and, this year, we expect the deficit to be in the order of 15 000 t,” Smith warned at the conference.

Tungsten More “Critical” on Expected Supply Shortage

It certainly isn’t news to anyone that tungsten is a critical metal. However, it is important to note that tungsten is slowly making its way up the global critical metals list.

A metal is deemed critical when it is found to be economically important to the functionality of society, but has a high risk of supply disruptions. In 2011,

The British Geological Society published a list of what it considers the 52 most critical metals in the world.

The list was compiled based on global abundance, location of production, reserves and supply risk associated with the political stability in the jurisdictions where the metal occurs.

Further testing on a larger sample is scheduled in South Africa, which will allow Thor to better predict commercial outcomes, it said.

Chairman Mick Billing said: "This is a potentially exciting enhancement for the Spring Hill project. Ore sorting is also commercially used in tungsten processing and a similar scale test on Molyhil material is also in process in South Africa."

"We eagerly await the outcome of that testwork, as it also has potential to reduce both capital and operating costs for Molyhil," he added.
