W Resources Increases Resources Tonnage by 22 Percent at Régua

W Resources (LSE:WRES) announced a significant increase in the contained tungsten within the JORC compliant mineral resource estimate at Régua in Northern Portugal.
 
The total resource tonnage increased by 22% to 5.46mt at a grade of 0.28% WO3, up from 4.46mt, and notably the indicated resource tonnage increased by 76% to 3.76mt at 0.304% WO3 (2012: 2.14mt @ 0.367% WO3).
 
The updated resource model is based on thick high-grade sections of tungsten mineralisation at or near surface and will form the basis for mine planning and mine reserve estimation. The outcrop area drilled midyear has the potential for low cost high-grade open pit development.
 
The next step is now to complete the mine planning and reserve estimation process, which is targeted for the first quarter 2016. Metallurgical work has progressed well over the last quarter with good metal recoveries. A full update on the metallurgical programme and results will be provided in the next two months.
 
Michael Masterman, chair of W Resources, commented:
The drilling campaign at Régua exceeded our initial expectations and we are delighted that the work to date has resulted in this significant increase in the indicated resources at Régua. The results to date provide us with a strong basis for the next phase of mine planning as we move the project nearer to production.

Tungsten Mining acquires Hazelwood Resources projects in Western Australia

Tungsten Mining (ASX:TGN) has acquired Western Australian tungsten assets containing 15.3 million tonnes of tungsten trioxide from Hazelwood Resources (ASX:HAZ).
GWR Group (ASX:GWR), which has a 16.4% holding in Tungsten Mining, saw its shares jump 26% today to A$0.058 on the news. 
GWR will help fund the transaction by agreeing to subscribe to a convertible note with a face value of $1 million at an interest rate of 12% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. 
Consideration for the Hazelwood properties includes $1 million in cash and the issue of 5 million Tungsten Mining shares.
Specifically the deal encompasses the sale of the Mt Mulgine and Big Hill projects, which represent potential for a vertically integrated tungsten business as supply-demand dynamics for the sector continue to tighten. 
The combined inventory of the two projects equates to 88.2 million tonnes at 0.17% WO3 for more than 15.3 million tonnes of WO3. 
 
This resource equals 121,700 tonnes of contained tungsten metal. 
This would add significantly to Tungsten Mining’s existing WA portfolio, which includes the recently enlarged Kilba resources of about 5 million tonnes at 0.24WO3 for 12,129 tonnes of WO3.  
Tungsten anomalism is widespread at Mt Mulgine (350 kilometres northeast of Perth) and the project’s exciting Mulgine Trench exploration area remains open in all directions. It is considered to have potential for increasing the overall resource. 
At Big Hill in the East Pilbara region, Hazel wood reported that pilot-scale testwork has shown excellent processing characteristics producing high-quality tungsten concentrate. 
 
Completion of the sale is expected in the coming weeks.

Drill Bits Market Enlarged Promotes Tungsten Carbide Insert Consumption 2013-2019

A new report has been published by Transparency Market Research, titled “Drill Bits Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019”. TMR, a market intelligence company based in the U.S., says in its report that the global drill bits market was estimated to have a total volume of 2,597 hundred units in 2012 and is predicted to experience growth at a CAGR of 4.9% between 2013 and 2019.As per the TMR report, a few years ago, the development in the technology of drill bits grew at a rapid pace, since the drilling engineers were consistently crafting bits for efficient drilling with enhanced rates of penetration on the basis of durability as well as speed. There are two primary types of drill bits utilized for gas and oil drilling activities, namely fixed cutter bits and roller cone bits. The roller cone bits can be further classified as milled-tooth bits and tungsten carbide inserts.

Fixed cutter bits obtainable in the market are either natural diamond cutters or polycrystalline diamond cutters (PDCs). In 2012, on the basis of volume, the drill bits market was led by the roller cone bits segment. However, due to greater durability and efficiency, fixed cutter bits, particularly PDC bits are acquiring popularity in the market. These cutters substantially enhance the penetration rate and drilling operation in abrasive formations. However, the cost of these bits, which are technologically advanced, is immensely high. According to this TMR report, the elevating demand for energy from both developing and developed economies is the preeminent factor driving the global oilfield equipment market. Rising world energy demand, coupled with high prices for natural gas and oil, is driving investment in drilling activities across the globe. Additionally, growing interest in offshore drilling is predicted to boost the activities pertaining to offshore exploration and production (E&P) worldwide. Thus, increase in onshore and offshore drilling activities and exploration across the globe is likely to lead to considerable demand for drill bits in the forthcoming future.

The TMR study states that small-scale miners find it difficult to implement such developed products, as it raises the overall cost of operation. To add to this, the utilization of drill bits is decided by its true cost to benefit ratio. Normally, in drilling activities related to higher depths and for abrasive/hard surfaces, PDC drill bits are suggested, as they assist in reducing the overall time of drilling activity by diminishing persistent stops required for replacement/repair of drill bits.

As per this TMR research report, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). Geographically, North America is predicted to remain the largest market for drill bits owing to the growth of production activities and exploration in this region. The count of oil rigs in the U.S. is increasing consistently, reflecting improved oil drilling activities in the U.S. The share of North America was approximated to be 35.7% of the overall share of the global drill bits market in 2012.
