Shares of Northcliff Resources surged after the company released a feasibility study for its Sisson tungsten project in New Brunswick, Canada, saying the results confirmed a technically and economically "robust" tungsten and molybdenum development that is ready for next steps.

The report, done by Samuel Engineering, projected an after-tax net present value of $418 million at an 8% discount rate, an internal rate of return of 16.3% and a payback period of four and a half years.

Initial capex was pegged at $579 million, using long term metal prices of US$350/mtu for ammonium paratungstate (APT) and US$15/lb for molybdenum.

"In just two years, Northcliff has advanced Sisson from an exploration and early-stage development project to achieve this important project milestone," said president and CEO, Chris Zahovskis.

"We have significantly de-risked the project and now have one of the largest tungsten reserves outside China.

"We are confident that Sisson is on track to earn the necessary environmental and construction permits from federal and provincial regulators in 2014, and Northcliff will be pursuing partnerships with global companies interested in the Sisson Project  or tungsten off-take agreements, positioning Northcliff to achieve the financing necessary to initiate project construction in 2014 and commissioning by 2016."

Located 100 km by road northwest of Fredericton, the Sisson property hosts a 334 million tonne proven and probable mineral reserve containing 22.2 million metric tonne units (mtu) of tungsten trioxide (WO3) and 154.8 million pounds of molybdenum (Mo).

The life-of-mine plan, based on this mineral reserve, has an average net smelter return value of $26.24/t and an average NSR value over the first five years of production of $30.75/t processed.

The project will be developed as a bulk tonnage operation and based on the mine plan, Sisson will produce a total of 15.0 million mtu of tungsten and 111.3 million pounds molybdenum over 27 years of operation. Average annual production in the first five years is forecast at 689,000 mtu tungsten and 4.4 million pounds molybdenum.

Average cash costs of production are forecast at $8.18 per tonne milled or $153/mtu, net of molybdenum credits.

The company said it will undertake the "value-added" processing of tungsten concentrates produced at Sisson by constructing and operating an ammonium paratungstate plant at the project site.

The project, which can be accessed by existing highways and roads, will see power provided by the provincial power utility via a new 138 kiloVolt transmission line alongside an existing 345 kV line at an expected cost of $0.066 per kilowatt-hour.

By advancing Sisson, Northcliff aims to become one of North America's major tungsten producers, increasing supply for the large North American, Asian and European markets where demand is forecast to  outstrip  supply.

Minerals such as tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold are valuable and essential for companies producing goods like consumer electronics and medical equipment. However, such products are often sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), much of which is controlled by armed groups that  force locals to work in mines without pay and commit violence against civilians. It can be extremely difficult for large companies to realize they are purchasing "conflict minerals" from these areas and supporting rebel groups, especially if they obtain the minerals through multiple suppliers and have lengthy and complex supply chains.

Conflict mineral sourcing may cost companies

It has become more difficult for businesses to procure these important components in recent months, as a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act requires companies to reveal whether they use conflict minerals from this area in their products. Businesses that use these minerals must gather information on their sourcing processes in 2013 and file it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by May 2014.

The provision in the law requires businesses to take multiple steps when submitting information to the SEC. Companies must first reveal if they do use any raw materials that could be considered conflict minerals and then determine whether they were sourced from the DRC or a nearby area. Those firms that determine their minerals did not come from this region need to reveal what steps they took to prove their minerals aren't from war-torn regions, while those that do procure minerals from the DRC (and those that cannot determine where their minerals are from) will be required to trace their supply chains, reveal their suppliers and provide a conflict mineral report.

Strategic sourcing can stop the problem

Businesses that do currently source minerals from these areas may find continuing to do so will result in problems as increased legislation and requirements aim to limit the problem. This may cause more companies to look for ways they can alter their supply chains to avoid purchasing conflict minerals and reporting their use to the SEC. Implementing policies like strategic sourcing initiatives may help businesses procure minerals without supporting armed groups. Taking steps to improve sourcing efforts can also help a company better optimize its supply chain and ensure all suppliers and logistical operations are working together seamlessly, which can also assist cost savings efforts.

High flying W Resources this morning revealed it had secured ‘time critical’ financing to move forward with the La Parilla tungsten tailings project.

The AIM quoted firm, which has gained as much as 350% this month, is issuing 122mln new shares at 0.7p per share, raising £858,500.

Chairman Michael Masterman is among the investors in the placing. He has subscribed for 14.2mln new shares for a total investment of £100,000.

Last week the La Parrilla tailings project was signed off by the authorities in Spain and the company said first tungsten production would come later this year.

W Resources will process 330,000 tonnes of material each year to produce 28,000 tonnes of tungsten and 26 tonnes of tin. This is expected to generate around €7 million per year revenue, at current prices.

The company’s shares were also boosted this week by positive drill results on Monday, which showed tungsten grades three times higher than previous results.

A JORC compliant resource update is expected later this year, in the second quarter.

On AIM today W Resources shares were up 0.14p, or 11%, trading at 1.35p.

Northcliff Resources (NCF-T) has shone a spotlight on its Sisson tungsten-molybdenum project in New Brunswick with a feasibility study yesterday confirming it could economically mine the deposit for 27 years, sending its shares climbing.

Raw materials are in the headlines again, and it's not for rising costs this time. Instead, electronic companies are scrambling to meet the January 31 Securities & Exchange Commission deadline for reporting on "conflict minerals" -- gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten -- that have entered the supply chain.

It isn't as simple as filling out a quick form and forgetting about it; most companies lack the information, processes, and technology needed to adhere to the new SEC reporting standard. Compliance won't be easy or cheap. According to Deloitte, "The SEC has estimated it will cost U.S. businesses between $3 billion and $4 billion to implement processes to comply with "the rule."

Right now, affected companies are asking suppliers these seemingly basic questions:

    Do you provide our company with any products manufactured with tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold, or any other conflict minerals?

    If so, do you source any raw materials from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or surrounding regions?

Yet, the answers are nearly impossible to find. At the heart of the problem is supplier relationship management 101. Companies have relied, for too long, on incomplete supplier data that is scattered throughout various ERP and SRM tools -- or worse, hidden away in filing cabinets. Coupled with Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers thousands of miles away, the biggest tech companies are disconnected from what's really going on throughout the supply chain.

Colt Resources Inc. ("Colt" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received positive metallurgical results from testwork performed on representative samples taken from the Tabuaço Tungsten Project (São Pedro das Águias), as well as results for eleven holes from its exploration drilling campaign at the nearby Tabuaço-Aveleira gap, Aveleira and Quinta targets, all located in the Armamar‐Meda concession in northern Portugal.  Colt is awaiting final approval for the "Tabuaço" Trial Mining License, expected to be granted later in Q1, 2013, which will include the deposits reported to date together with the surrounding area believed to host the most significant upside potential.

As part of its ongoing efforts to advance the Tabuaço deposit towards production, the Company had previously submitted a 522 kilogram representative sample of metallurgical drill core to a Chinese metallurgical services provider for process testing. A final report of this investigation has been issued by the Chinese metallurgical services provider, demonstrating a process flowsheet that includes flotation followed by acid leaching achieved 87.2% overall tungsten recovery into a final concentrate containing 70.65% WO3 from an ore sample containing 0.64% WO3. The Company is very pleased with the results of this test work as it demonstrates a high tungsten recovery, by world standards, into a premium grade scheelite concentrate. The Company plans to conduct pilot mill testing on approximately 20 metric tons of ore from Tabuaço later this year. The Company also intends to investigate further the potential production of fluorite concentrate as a possible by-product from the deposit.

Nikolas Perrault , President and CEO of Colt, stated, "These final metallurgical test results further demonstrate the potential to develop a successful tungsten mining operation at Tabuaço.  Our work to complete a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) has commenced and we intend to conclude this work during the second quarter. Discussions are currently ongoing and advancing as we continue our efforts to identify a suitable joint venture partner for Tabuaço so as to deliver on our promise to focus on our gold projects while maintaining the full benefits of part ownership of a solid revenue generating asset with lots of blue-sky."

Mr. Perrault continued, "Our exploration work designed to test the upside potential of this area continues to yield positive results.  Our geological team has identified several zones of mineralization based on mapping and geochemistry and these results confirm that our predictive model is robust".

Colt is pleased to announce the following results from our ongoing exploration drill program to test extensions of the previously reported resources at the Tabuaço and Aveleira deposits.

Drilling Summary:

Holes DHT-79, -80, -81, -86 and -87 were all drilled at the Aveleira skarn tungsten deposit, first discovered by Colt through drilling in February 2012.  DHT-79 was drilled 64 metres East-Northeast (down-slope) from mineralized hole DHT-71. It only intersected the Lower skarn horizon, while the Main (Upper) skarn horizon is believed to have been eroded away at this low topographic level.  Vertical holes DHT-80 and -81 were collared as to test depth extensions into the mountain West-Southwest of the first line of holes drilled at Aveleira, namely at around 70 to 85 metres from mineralized holes DHT-53, -70 and -71 respectively. Both holes DHT-80 and -81 intersected mineralized horizons.  Inclined holes DHT-86 and DHT-87 were drilled in order to target skarn mineralization occurring in the intervals between DHT-70/DHT-81 and DHT-71/DHT-85 respectively. Both holes intersected mineralization, as shown above in Table 1.

With these holes, Colt has mostly outlined the lateral limits of the Aveleira deposit, which seems therefore not to extend much at depth into the mountain. Future drilling at Aveleira will therefore consist essentially of infill grid drilling in order to allow outlining of an indicated resource.

Holes DHT-77, 78 and 88 were all drilled in the Gap between Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias) and Aveleira skarn tungsten deposits, where Colt first discovered concealed tungsten skarns through drilling in July 2012.  DHT-77 was drilled roughly half-way between mineralized hole DHT-75 and barren hole DHT-73, having confirmed a further 60m northerly extension of the mineralization previously intersected by DHT-75. Drill hole DHT-78 was positioned 80m due South from DHT-72 (the discovery hole in the Gap) having confirmed a southerly extension of the Gap skarns to as close as 40m with regards to the São Pedro das Águias resource area.  DHT-88 was drilled a further 80 metres NW of DHT-83, and proved to be the best mineralized hole drilled thus far in the Gap, with two distinct and well separated, thick and richly mineralized skarn horizons, much like at the São Pedro das Águias deposit and the best portions of the Aveleira deposit.

The skarn tungsten mineralization found by Colt in the Gap between the São Pedro das Águias and Aveleira deposits, and tested so far by a total of seven diamond drill holes (five mineralized and two barren), extends for a Northwest-Southeast strike extent of 275 metres, and a yet unknown lateral (down-dip) extent into the mountain and underneath the outcropping granite. The fact that the last (North westernmost) hole drilled in this zone turned out to be the best mineralized hole leaves open good potential for finding further significant mineralization, once drilling is resumed to test the Northwest extent of this skarn zone. This untested area comprises the >300 metre zone between DHT-88 and the Aveleira deposit.

Holes DHQ-01, -02 and -03 were drilled at the Quintã zone NW of the Aveleira deposit, to test for depth extents of the skarn tungsten mineralization previously mapped and sampled on outcrop at the southern slope beneath the Quintã village. All these three holes were collared on the same approximate location, at around 225 metres NNW of the Quintã skarn tungsten outcrop, however were drilled with distinct orientations.  DHQ-01 (-45o) aimed at the Quintã skarn outcrop with a bearing of N160o, but it failed to intersect thick and well mineralized skarns as shown in the outcrop, but rather a number of narrower skarn horizons.  DHQ-02 (-45o) was oriented to bearing N200o, in order to test a possible westerly deviation of the skarn from the Quintã outcrop; in fact it had two skarn intercepts but with modest grades (<0.2% WO3).  DHQ-03 (vertical) again intersected a number of narrow and poorly mineralized skarn horizons.

This first drilling ever carried out at Quintã therefore failed to confirm a significant depth extension of the thick and rich skarn tungsten outcrop into the mountain. The acquired drilling and surface data will need to be re-assessed in order to guide future exploration drilling, perhaps closer to the outcrop and/or further to the West underneath the granite.

Results from DHT-88 show that the discovery area is not closed off to the north-west and initial results of drilling suggest the potential for mineralization to extend beyond the previous reported resource area (Press Release - September 5, 2012).  Drilling down-dip is also planned to test the contact relationship between the mineralized skarns and the granite located to the south-west of Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias).
