The need for a more energy-conscious society in relation to the efficient production and consumption of energy has intensified in past years and will become increasingly important for that society in the future. Currently, worldwide energy use is growing much faster than supply can match. The efficiency of conventional technologies must be improved in order to reduce losses in transmission and distribution of energy, and new strategies and technologies must be developed for “doing more, using less”.
Whatever form such solutions may take in the future, it may be expected that tungsten-based materials and components will play their positive part in meeting these challenges. Tungsten products have contributed in the past in this way, both as functional materials and advanced tools with outstanding properties, and this contribution will not diminish in the near future.
Current discussions on global warming, and the conclusion that anthropogenic greenhouse gases are responsible for most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the twentieth century, have brought calls for reductions in emissions which will demand a more conscientious handling of fossil energy worldwide. The search for alternatives will be intensified, as coal, oil and natural gas reserves become depleted and the need to use existing natural and renewable resources steadily increases.
There is a great opportunity for tungsten-containing products which have strategic importance in the field of fossil energy production, fossil energy or renewable power generation, power transmission and power distribution, because of their outstanding properties.

Research on tungsten has been conducted by various international organisations. These studies indicate that tungsten has a low potential to cause harm to animals and humans at environmentally relevant concentrations. This means that tungsten is a relatively benign metal at the concentrations that humans, animals, and plants may encounter in natural and urban environments. As with all metals, appropriate care must be exercised when using tungsten and tungsten substances. Since tungsten products are very hard and abrasion resistant, they can be used safely by consumers since there is very limited potential for tungsten exposure.
Pollution during hardmetal production is collected by filter devices and afterwards recycled. All other tungsten losses can be kept to a minimum and this situation will further improve in the future due to economic forces.
Pollution through by-products generated during tungsten production, such as ammonia, sodium sulphate, etc, will decline. They will be recycled, not only for economic reasons but also due to more rigid governmental regulations (both national and international) all over the world. Gangue materials and tailings dumped in a proper way do not disturb nature.
Tungsten today helps in several ways to improve the environment: 1.as a catalyst to clean exhaust fumes or products from toxic compounds (dioxins, nitrogen oxides or aromatics) 2.in saving fossil fuels (through energy saving devices) 3.as a substitute for toxic lead

The domestic tungsten ore prices stabilized, the shipping business will increase up to 1.6 yuan / kWh, some high-priced, sodium tungstate market demand improved slightly, scrap tungsten steel prices continue to explore up the domestic the blade high even reached 175 yuan / kg.
The tungsten market the atmosphere declined slightly, manufacturers around the sidelines reproduction, in the case of the lack of a large number of transactions support, most of the short-term tungsten Department mainstream mainly stabilized.

New Brunswick’s unemployment rate has been dipping in the last few months, reaching 10.8% in December, but it remains more than 3 percentage points higher than Canada’s 7.3% unemployment rate for December.Northcliff will be focusing on hiring locally, aiming for 300 workers to operate the mine and as high as 500 workers during the construction phase.
"New Brunswick is a very depressed area from an employment standpoint. There are a lot of people here with good skills and good trades backgrounds who cannot find jobs and are working in the oil sands,” Zahovskis said. “There’s no reason to think that we can’t attract 300 people in this area.”The Sisson Project also offers workers the rare opportunity to work near home as the project is located 100 kilometers away from Fredericton, New Brunswick’s capital city.There are several operating mines within the province, so there is a presence of skilled workers.
Zahovskis also stressed the importance of the company’s relationship with First Nation’s communities and their inclusion in many aspects of the project.“We’ve had First Nations employees within our ranks for archaeological studies, for field work, environmental monitoring and so on,” Zahovskis said. “We see them as part of the New Brunswick population and when we say we’re going to hire locally first, that’s what we mean, so First Nations are definitely included.”

Quotations of March released by Ganzhou Tungsten Committee and Minmetals Non-ferrous Co. last week, in which wolframite concentrate, APT and medium-particle –size tungsten powder are 122 thousand yuan/standard ton,184 thousand yuan/ton and 285 yuan/ kg respectively, and rose 2 thousand yuan, 6 thousand yuan and 50 thousand yuan respectively compared with February.
65% of wolframite concentrate and scheelite concentrate remain at the same price as February and January according to the quotation of Minmetals Non-ferrous Co. Domestic tungsten market has been keeping warm, after the release of Ganzhou Tungsten Committee and Minmetals Non-ferrous Co, price for relevant products rose as well. At present, APT market is still positive
Domestic tungsten market is gaining steam keeping upward trend, tungsten price is expected to go up in the near future.
