North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSXV:NTC) is ready to commence metallurgical testing and analysis of material from Tailing Pond 3. Since the 2011 and 2012 drilling and modeling program has been completed, the next phase of the tailings reprocessing plan is ready to begin.

As quoted in the press release:

The next phase in the tailings reprocessing plan will include baseline flotation test work plus locked cycle flotation tests to determine the feasibility of recovering a marketable concentrate. Magnetic separation, presently used in the production plant flowsheet, will also be evaluated. The program is expected to conclude with off-site testing of a bulk sample, providing necessary scale up information for commercial processing.

North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. CEO, Stephen Leahy said:

A positive feasibility for the tailings reprocessing project will certainly make it a priority for the Cantung Mine as it has the potential to add significantly to not only our production but to our overall mine life resource.
