Tungsten is the second-hardest metal in the world, after diamond, and is used in aerospace and drilling.The drilling company has got approval from the Spanish provincial government for the Barruecopardo mine, which is located in Salamanca.

This is the last hurdle to be cleared before getting approval from Spain's federal government.Currently, China supplies about four-fifths of all the world's tungsten but Ormonde says the mine will be a major and secure European source for the metal.

It says the site will be able to supply 8pc of all tunsgsten sourced outside of China.Ormonde expects to be able to sell tungsten produced from Barruecopardo at about $350. This would pay back the cost of developing the well in about two and a half years.

Black Fire Minerals has reached an agreement with Pacific Gold Corporation to accelerate the transfer of the title to the Pilot Mountain tungsten copper project in Nevada by paying an initial US$350,000 (A$383,966).

This will give Black Fire full title to the mineral claims covering the tungsten copper project, which has a JORC Resource of 6.79 million tonnes at 0.31% WO3, 22.8 grams per tonne silver and 0.17% copper.

The company has also agreed to pay PGC a further US$850,000 by 31 March 2014 to retain title to the claims.

Under the original agreement, Black Fire could only achieve title once it had paid all outstanding options totalling US$1.5 million by September 2015.

Black Fire is keen about the future prospects at Pilot Mountain as tungsten prices have risen about 25% to about US$410 per tonne in the calendar year to date.

Pilot Mountain is located about 250 kilometres southeast of Reno, Nevada. It is well served by nearby infrastructure, including sealed roads, nearby towns and mains power lines.

Besides the JORC Resource, the company’s drilling and compilations of historic data has also identified an Exploration Target of 10.8Mt to 12.5MT at between 032% and 0.35% WO3.

This reflects opportunities at the Garnet, Gunmetal and Good Hope prospects where historical drilling intersections require follow-up.

Almonty Industries Inc. announces that it has successfully restarted operations on June 29, 2013, six days after temporarily suspending mineral processing activities at its wholly owned Los Santos Project as a result of an electrical fire on June 23, 2013 that destroyed its diesel generator power supply and caused severe damage to its electrical switching infrastructure.

The restart was accomplished utilizing a portable 4 generator power installation that the Company has rented.  Almonty intends to rent the portable power installation until such time that the connection to the state electricity grid is complete in August 2013.

The Company will restore normal shipments of tungsten concentrate shortly and continues to work with its insurance adjusters to determine the extent of the damage and business interruption that is covered under its insurance policies.

Lewis Black, Chief Executive Officer of Almonty commented, "We are pleased to have been able to restart operations in such a short time after the fire and will be able to sustain normal operations through the use of temporary diesel generators with no impact on production. As a result of advancing our planned quarterly maintenance shutdown to coincide with the temporary stoppage, the ore that has been mined and stockpiled during the past week is expected to be processed during the month of July. Work on our connection to the state electricity grid continues on schedule and we expect to complete our connection during August 2013."

The C-Lever direct system is installed and operating in the Schöndorfer GmbH’s dolomite plant in Jettenberg, Austria. Their requirements were based on the exact dosage of dolomite tungsten carbide powder on a conveyor – at a mere flow rate of 300 up to 500 kg/h. The structural requirements basically didn’t permit an installation at normal height. With a minor height of just 670 millimetres, the C-Lever direct 12 PRE stood the test. Despite extreme dust development, further dedusting within the device itself could be waived. Stability was achieved through tungsten carbide coating that is applied to the gravimetric slide sensor during a thermal spray process. Tungsten carbide products are characterised by its very high wear resistance.

With tungsten carbide's coated gravimetric slide, the C-Lever direct accurately and consistently measures the ground dolomite rocks. Through this measured value, the customer is now capable of adjusting the flow capacity to the conveyor. The conveyor’s effective use now lies at 100 percent and isn’t overloaded.

Rembe says that, besides high accuracy, flexibility, simple integration and handling, their measuring system offers high process safety. This would be guaranteed by a patent-pending, friction-free measurement of the centripetal force. Compared to other bulk flow meters, the C-Lever gravimetrically measures the product stream at the sensor, in other words, without any mechanical components such as rotary belts, bearing or other moving parts. The manufacturer claims that this results in a substantial improvement of the current industrial standards of up to ± 0.2 percent at a turn-down ratio of 20:1 on the measuring range. Even minor flow rates of under 100 kg/h can be linearly measured. The C-Lever recognises and compensates various influences on the bulk flow, thus, measuring is not influenced by the numerous variable factors arising during the process. The steeply mounted gravimetric slide sensors prevent the product’s adhesion, which eliminates the zeropoint shift as a source of error. Elaborate pneumatic dedusting becomes history.
