The Los Santos Project produces tungsten concentrate from scheelite ore. The project is currently the only open pit tungsten mine in operation in the west. The open pit nature of the Los Santos Project helps Almonty control its costs as it allows for greater flexibility in mining and the planning/production process.

Almonty Industries is currently engaged in a 28,000 metre exploration campaign (7,000 metres per year over the next 4 years) with a view to extending the mine life and further delineating the resource at the Los Santos Project.

Underground mining at the Los Santos Project may be an option in the future in order to target the recovery of additional higher grade veins of ore after the open pit mining has recovered all the economically viable ore using this mining process.

Located in the western Iberian Peninsula in the province of Salamanca, the Los Santos Project is situated in a historical scheelite producing area and is the only open pit tungsten mine in the west.

The Project is located approximately 50 km from Salamanca, in western Spain and within 200 km of Almonty Industries’ management team’s former Panasqueira tungsten mine in Portugal and Ormonde’s past producing Barruecopardo project in Spain.

In the past  2010, the Los Santos Project had an annual output of approximately 225,000 tonnes of ore (at 0.25% WO3) and  the mine had an annual output of approximately 441,976 tonnes of ore (at 0.27% WO3).

Tungsten is a unique metal due to its high temperature properties and exceptional high density. The metal also has widespread uses with approximately half of all tungsten used in the production of hard materials.

Namely tungsten carbide, with the remaining major uses being in alloys, steels and chemicals. Tungsten occurs primarily as wolframite ore and scheelite ore within massive pyroxene skarns.
