Tungsten concentrate market continues to run slowly with stable prices. Most of the market participants watch the market. The downstream customers only purchase from hand to mouth, and are unwilling to hold stocks in large quantities. An end-user for tungsten concentrate based in South China expressed that they purchased a batch of wolframite 50% at 1,560RMB and  250USD last week.

European ferrotungsten market prices have seen a slight split appear between numbers quoted for standard grade and off-spec material this week. An undisclosed volume of off-spec ferrotungsten is available in the European market at present, and although a number of consumers can work with this material, it is still trading at a slight discount. Offering prices for the off-grade ferrotungsten are between USD38.40-38.90kg W d.d.p to European consumers as of Tuesday and for standard grade material prices have held between USD38.90-39.20kg W d.d.p so far this week.European Ferrotungsten Market looks gloomy for short term.

Sources in the US have expressed slightly different opinions regarding the short-term outlook for tungsten carbide, however, at present, values and overall demand keeps rather unchanged since the beginning of the month. Activity is in a better state compared to the previous three months, but many are still concerned that larger players will not reenter for consistent purchases for the majority of the year. Prices were forced up slightly last month, and it seems as though Chinese players may be trying to do the same now to entice buys, yet US domestic participants are not experiencing anything to suggest a price hike over the next.

AIM-listed multi-commodity natural resource company Premier African Minerals has discovered at least two previously unknown, well-mineralised quartz veins at its flagship RHA Tungsten project.

The company reported that the project, which is located in the prospective Kamativi Tin Belt in Zimbabwe, had the potential to be developed into a "low capital and operating cost tungsten mine" in the near term. The company plans to carry out further surface trenching and said sampling is scheduled to be undertaken in the first quarter of 2013 to confirm the surface location and other details.

George Roach, Chief Executive Officer of Premier African Minerals, said: "This update has revealed significant tungsten mineralisation in the form of very coarse wolframite crystals hosted by quartz veins identified from drillhole intersections, and highlights the exceptional prospectivity of our RHA tungsten project."

"It is now our intention to conduct low-cost surface trenching and sampling to confirm the extent of these newly identified quartz veins and define a maiden SAMREC compliant resource in H1 2013. In tandem with this, we are also completing a conceptual mine study, which will determine the most beneficial and cost-effective method of exploiting the known extent of the RHA deposit."

AIM-listed Aurum Mining, the Spanish-focussed gold and tungsten explorer, has unveiled positive assay results from its second stage drilling programme at the Peralonso Permit in Salamanca Province.

Of the 11 holes drilled at Peralonso to date over 1,267 metres, the company reported that 10 have encountered gold mineralisation in excess of 1 gram per tonne over multiple intersections. Assay results indicate the existence of multiple near surface gold bearing structures within the area of an extensive gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly.

Sean Finlay, Chairman or Aurum, said: ‘We are very encouraged by these results from Peralonso. Of the 11 holes drilled on the permit area to date, 10 have encountered gold mineralisation in excess of 1 gram per tonne over multiple intersections.

These, combined with other exploration work carried out at the permit area, verify our belief that Peralonso and the surrounding area has the potential to host sizeable, near surface gold bearing structures. Follow up work is now being undertaken to enable us to better understand the scale and extent of the opportunity.

DURHAM -Cree Inc.'s  new LED bulb may be in the same price range as Philips Lighting’s new $15 version, but is it in the same ballpark?Industry publication LEDs Magazine looked at the differences between the two bulbs this week, focusing specifically on the design of each.

The Philips version has remote phosphor actually applied on the dome, an approach that reduces cost by eliminating the optic between the LED and the outer globe.Cree’s bulb, as we’ve already reported, mounts its LEDs on a “filament tower,” aiming to look like a traditional tungsten filament. But it may not be as cost-effective, at least to Cree (Nasdaq: CREE).

In low volume, the LEDs cost about $1.50 each, but for Cree, the price would have to be “substantial, perhaps accounting for more than half of the price of the 60W-equivalent lamps,” the article reads. “Still Cree has taken much of the sting out of buying an LED lamp. Most people will see payback in about one year if the lamp is installed in a high-usage socket.”

LED companies in general have been trending upwards in recent weeks. Greg Sebasky, CEO of Philips’ North American Unit, has been quoted as saying the LED lighting market will grow 40 percent in 2013.However, LED bulbs account for less than 1 percent of the 5.6 billion bulbs used in residential homes in the U.S.
