Development of Tungsten Ore Industry-IV

In May 2013, Tungsten Mining NL (Tungsten Mining) announced a maiden JORC Code resource for its Kilba Project, 320 kilometres northeast of Carnarvon, in the Gascoyne region of WA. The company reported that the prospect has Indicated Resources of 1.3 Mt at 0.3% WO3 and Inferred Resources of 3.7 Mt at 0.26% WO3. Resources are from two zones (zone 8 and zone 11) with a total contained tungsten content of 10.8 kt. Tungsten mineralisation is present as scheelite associated with skarns and calc-silicate units within sediments that host the Paleoproterozoic Kilba Granite. In June 2013, Tungsten Mining announced that it had completed a positive preliminary scoping study based on mineral resources—not reserves, which led it to initiate a definitive feasibility study to upgrade the mineral resource estimate through infill drilling in zone 8 and zone 11. The study is due for completion by the second quarter of 2014.
