Scrap Tungsten Prices are Likely to Remain High

If  stoping and think deeper, maybe the Chinese are trying to dominate the scrap tungsten market. Carbide tools rely heavily on scrap. If the Chinese take control of that, they will run everything.

Though this theory may thus far be unsupported, it is something to consider given that one of the alleged reasons for reduced tungsten exports from China is that they are consuming more of the metal domestically to produce finished products.

Anetsberger once again points to a less devious motive– the growing industrial needs in China could also explain their desire for scrap.

He agreed, however, with predictions that the current summer lows will rebound, probably around September. After which prices are likely to remain high over the long term, said Anetsberger.

The Chinese are Buying Scrap Tungsten Available

Although suspicions and theories vary, almost everyone in the scrap and recycling tungsten industry point to a common factor at play China.

Stirling attests that the Chinese dictate the tungsten market without a doubt. They have a tendency, for example, to periodically flood the market with cheap APT, making scrap tungsten prices appear high.

Stanbach echoed the sentiment, noting that although the Chinese have mines producing the majority of the world’s supply, they still buy scrap.

Not only is China buying, according to Sery, the Chinese are buying every pound of scrap tungsten available.

Tungsten Projects

Tungsten projects see some action.

APT tungsten prices are holding steady at $400 to $410 per metric ton unit (mtu). And with summer coaxing tungsten traders into relaxation, tungsten exploration, development and mining companies are hard at work on their projects.

One of the fastest-moving brownfields projects for tungsten is Wolf Minerals Hemerdon project in the United Kingdom. The ASX-listed company is working hard at developing the project in order to bring it back online. In June, Wolf reported the first drawdown from the US$82-million funding package by Resource Capital Fund. The company also announced the start of a GBP75 million (~AU$123 million) Engineer Procure Construct contract with GR Engineering Services.

More recently, Wolf engaged CA Blackwell (Contracts) for a mining services contract valued at GBP85 million (AU$140 million).

Blackwell is expected to commence its work contract at Hemerdon sometime in March 2014. Per the contract agreements, investors can expect work to be completed at the project in two parts. Phase one of the contract will include mine stripping and development for which the company anticipates an 11-month timeframe. The second phase of the contract will be undertaking the development of the Hemerdon mine, which should take up to five years to complete once phase one has been finalized.
