Tungsten Mining Junior Intersects High-grade Mineralisation

Western Australia-based mining junior Tungsten Mining reports that it has started with the second- and third-phase drilling programmes at its flagship Kilba tungsten project, which are due for completion by the end of the first quarter.

Following positive final analysis of the first eight holes of its Phase 1 drilling programme, the company will now focus on the rapid evaluation and development of the Kilba project, which is located in the Ashburton district of Western Australia.The project boasts a strong pipeline of other potential tungsten projects in both Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

“The positive results have provided us with significant momentum in exploration,” Tungsten Mining MD Paul Berndt notes, adding that the analysis confirmed the exploration work of chemical and polymers company Union Carbide, which was conducted in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The ASX-listed company started with diamond drilling in November last year to confirm the presence of the high-grade tungsten mineralisation indicated by Union Carbide three decades ago.The final analytical results from the first eight holes confirm the high-grade nature of course-grained scheelite mineralisation.

Berndt explains that tungsten mineral- isation is associated with a sedimentary package containing skarn, calc-silicate and sedimentary units. The mineralised horizon contains multiple skarns that are often high grade in nature, and enclosed in lower-grade scheelite mineralisation, and which are hosted by calc-silicate and sedimentary units.
