Carbine Tungsten Limited is pleased to announce that long-term off-take partner, Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan (“Mitsubishi RtMJ”) has recently participated in a site visit to the Mt. Carbine Tungsten Project in North Queensland.

The site visit was yet another step in the strengthening relationship between Carbine and Mitsubishi RtMJ following the initial sales contract signed in May 2012.

Since this time, Carbine has continued shipments of Tungsten concentrate exclusively to Mitsubishi RtMJ with the most recent shipment dispatched in July.

In February this year, Mitsubishi RtMJ and Carbine signed the MOU, and more recently a $400,000 advance payment against future shipments was received to support optimisation work at Carbine’s Tailings Retreatment Plant.

The village of Stanley, N.B., is one step closer to getting a massive tungsten mine.

Vancouver-based Northcliff Resources submitted its environmental-impact assessment to the federal government. It wants to start an open-pit tungsten mine in Stanley. The tungsten mine could employ hundreds of residents.

Northcliff’s Greg Davidson said the company has done the ground work and the public has nothing to fear.

“I certainly identify the concerns we’ve heard over the past couple of years. We’ve implemented mitigation strategies to minimize any impacts,” he said.

Northcliff expects to create 500 jobs during the construction phase — that's more than the population of Stanley.

It anticipates 300 jobs during the 27-year operation.

Representatives from Carbine’s Board and Senior Management team accompanied Mitsubishi RtMJ’s President, Mr Kenji TANI, to site in July.

The purpose of the visit was for Mitsubishi RtMJ to conduct further due diligence on the Project following the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between Carbine and Mitsubishi RtMJ signed in late February 2013.

The MOU outlined Mitsubishi RtMJ’s intention to provide up to $15,000,000 in project level funding to support the development plans for Carbine’s existing tungsten stockpiles and former hard rock open pit mine .

Operating rate for ferro-tungsten factory low in China.

The ferro-tungsten market does not see any obvious improvements in China, and most of the ferro-tungsten market participants hold wait-and-see attitudes towards the future market.

There are few deals being concluded. Under the current high raw materials offers, the ferro-tungsten prices are under the production cost. Due to the sluggish market, the operating rate for ferrotungsten factories is low in China.

Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce that drilling is completed on its 100% owned, 165 square kilometre Fox tungsten property. The Fox property is located approximately 75 km northeast of 100 Mile House, in the south-central Cariboo region of British Columbia, Canada.

On the Fox property, positive values of tungsten occur in rock, stream sediment, soil and drill core in a 10 km by 3 km area. On the east side of Deception Mountain, four outcropping mineralized zones are named from south to north the 708, BN, RC (Ridley Creek) and BK prospects. Together, these prospects are within a favorable target horizon (calc-silicate or skarn) spanning a distance of three kilometres and a lateral extent thought to be greater than one kilometre.

During July 2013 the Company drilled approximately 1,300 metres of NQ size core at the RC prospect. Eighteen drill holes were completed and an additional three holes were lost prior to cutting through the target horizon. All completed drill holes intersected the favorable target horizon that starts from surface and is estimated to be between 15 and 40 metres in thickness. Using Ultra Violet light to fluoresce tungsten, the target horizon in the drill holes contain variable concentrations of tungsten from trace to very strong. The mineralized zone remains open in extent. Drilling to date at the RC prospect has tested approximately 10-15% of the potential target area on Deception Mountain. Logging and sampling of drill core is currently being completed, and results will be released when available.

Drill highlights from 2011 and 2012 at the RC prospect include 7.35 metres of 1.22% tungsten (W03), 19.4 metres of 0.82% tungsten, 11.0 metres of 0.80% tungsten, 20.0 metres of 0.63% tungsten and 24.7 metres of 0.68% tungsten. One kilometer to the south of the RC prospect, drilling at the BN prospect returned three intervals in hole F12-27: 4.1 metres of 1.78% tungsten, 14.8 metres of 4.0% tungsten and 24.0 metres of 0.79% tungsten including 5.8 metres of 2.01% tungsten. One kilometre north of the RC prospect, drilling at the BK prospect returned 5.0 metres of 0.68% tungsten. (Refer to Press Release dated November 19, 2012).

A grade of 0.7% tungsten contains 7.0 kg W03 per tonne of rock, and tungsten concentrate prices have recently risen to around $36/kg W03 with more refined APT (ammonium paratungstate) prices around $42.0/kg W03. Tungsten is regarded as a strategic and critical metal for industrialized countries. Over 50% is used in cemented tungsten carbide for making cutting tools for the construction, metalworking, mining, oil and gas drilling industries. The balance is used for heavy alloy in applications requiring high density such as electrodes, filaments, wires, and other components for electronic, heating, lighting, welding, steels, super-alloys, wear-resistant alloys and chemicals for various applications. Zinc and indium also occurs with tungsten at the Fox property. Indium is a rare metal used in liquid crystal applications such as touch screens and prices have also risen to over US$550/kg ($5.50/gram).

The near surface setting, proximity to infrastructure and presence of high grades are thought to make the Fox property a unique and attractive new discovery in the global tungsten sector.

European ferro-tungsten prices stable

European ferro-tungsten offering prices have held flat between USD48.00-49.00kg W in warehouse Rotterdam this week, with the majority of stockholders reluctant to part with material below this level as export prices from both China and Vietnam remain above USD48.00kg W CIF Rotterdam.

However during European consumer tenders this week, material was purchased between USD47.50-48.00kg W d.d.p. A large European ferro-tungsten trader revealed that he has seen a wide price range of between USD47.50-49.00kg W in warehouse Rotterdam.
