Tungsten Project in Portugal Has Identified an Exploration Target in Licence Area

W Resources (LON:WRES) said its 1,500 metre drilling programme on the Tarouca tungsten project in Portugal has identified an “outstanding” exploration target in the north-eastern portion of the licence area.
 
The update followed the completion of the final five of 15 holes, which uncovered further “significant” high grade mineralisation.
 
This included 3.29 metres at 1.13% tungsten trioxide from 54.55 metres.
 
In all six samples contained in excess of 1% tungsten trioxide close to surface. A further ten were between 0.1% and 1%.
 
Chairman Michael Masterman said: "We already have great grades in surface sampling and these latest results further reinforce the earlier findings with high grade drill intersections.

“This exploration programme has formed a strong basis to understand the Tarouca deposit and identified thick zones of Tungsten mineralisation.
 
“We will consolidate the work and results to date, and appraise the north-eastern exploration prospect for further targeted drilling in the New Year."
 
Separately, W Resources said exploration continues on the CAA/Portalegre licence with trenching work along the 10km copper gold anomaly complete.

Vital’s Tungsten Project Costs $172 Million

A definitive feasibility study (DFS) into the Watershed tungsten project, in Queensland, has placed a $172 million price tag on the project’s development, owner Vital Metals reported on Wednesday.
 
The DFS concluded that the project could support a 2.5-million-tonne-a-year operation for a mine life of ten years, based on a maiden ore reserve of 21.3 million tonnes, grading 0.15% tungsten, for 31 400 t of contained tungsten.

Tungsten Market Has Frustrated, But Shippers' Willingness to Sell Increases

There is strong wait-and-see mood in tungsten market, the overall price remains weak, as well as the spot dealing volume is less. Tungsten mines have been exploiting with increasing supply. Smelting factory such as ferro tungsten or APT factory has low production enthusiasm just for deepening environmental awareness and weak demand, besides, the demand of tungsten concentrate is more sluggish. In addition, due to the original inventory in the market, at present tungsten concentrate supply exceeds demand, which have become increasingly serious. The quotation of tungsten concentrate fall little today, and raw tungsten price fall by 0.01 yuan/degree, but tungsten concentrate price decline unobvious, and the high price reduced, the dealing of scheelite concentrate mostly concentrated in 100000 yuan/ton or less.

"The Golden September" is no longer busy season, market confidence has been frustrated, and the shipper will delivery, the purchasers are cautious to buy and push down inquiry just as tungsten price may fall again later. This week it is expected that tungstn market will remain weak, and the dealing price of 60-grade scheelite concentrate will fall to 100000 yuan/degree.

Chinese APT Price Kept Steady, While International APT Price Softened

Chinese APT was offered at RMB163,000-164,000/mt (USD26,721-26,885/mt, export duty excluded) due to sluggish demand. APT transaction price lowered with its raw materials cost. APT suppliers produced according to their orders. It is expected that APT price would lack upward momentum because of low transaction volume in the market.

After summer vacations ended, European market recovered much. Exporters received some inquiries, but they couldn’t reach agreement. Japanese and S Korean customers mainly purchased APT from China, so Jiangxi exporter sold several containers at USD360/mtu. It is expected that overseas APT would keep steady, as the demand didn’t rise much.

Tungsten Scrap Market Runs Smoothly, But the Mentality of Businessmen Tends to Weak.

Tungsten scrap price continues to run smoothly, some offers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang area have been lowered in the range of 1 yuan/ton, basically no high dealing and little low dealing. The mentality of businessmen has weakened. Offers in Hebei province remained steady with no willingness to lower, as tungsten concentrate market is hard to improve in short term, it is expected that tungsten scrap price may fall.

Tungsten scrap market has been weakening. At present, the purchasing price of 30-40 degree W grinding material focused on 1.45 to 1.5 yuan/degree, 50-70 degree was around 1.55 to 1.65 yuan/degree, over 70 degree concentrated in 1.65 to 1.71 yuan/degree. The price of tungsten scrap blade is 169 to 170 yuan/kg in domestic, and imported tungsten scrap blade and scrap wire drawing die is 179 to 180 yuan/kg, the offer of tungsten scrap is still in 189 to 190 yuan/kg.
