Development of Tungsten Ore Industry-VII

Carpentaria Exploration Ltd continued work at its Broken Hill tin and tungsten project north of Broken Hill in NSW, which contain the historical Euriowie, Waukeroo and Kantappa Tin Fields, and the Yanco Glen scheelite (tungsten) deposit 40 kilometres north of Broken Hill. In 2012, Carpentaria undertook a drilling program at Yanco Glen to confirm the previous resource and test possible extensions. In October 2012 the company announced updated Inferred Resources of 3.4 Mt at 0.11% WO3, using a 0.05% WO3 cut-off, for a contained 3.95 kt of WO3, doubling the previous amount of tungsten. At the Yanco Glen deposit tungsten is present as scheelite and minor wolframite in stratabound mineralisation, occurring within high-grade gneiss (metavolcanic precursor?) and metasediments of the Paleoproterozoic Broken Hill Group. Carpentaria have been undertaking metallurgical test-work as well as a mining scoping study.
