Cadillac Ventures (TSXV:CDC12) is not a household name when it comes to tungsten. The Canadian exploration company has been primarily focusing its efforts on copper13 in Ontario.

However, it does hold a 51-percent interest in a tungsten property in New Brunswick called Burnt Hill. The Burnt Hill project is a tungsten-tin14 mine that was brought to test production in the 1980s; currently, Cadillac is working on resuming development at the project.

APT tungsten prices are holding steady at $400 to $410 per metric ton unit (mtu). And with summer coaxing tungsten traders into relaxation, tungsten exploration, development and mining companies are hard at work on their projects.

One of the fastest-moving brownfields projects for tungsten is Wolf Minerals‘ (ASX:WLF6) Hemerdon project in the United Kingdom. The ASX-listed company is working hard at developing the project in order to bring it back online.

As in any mining story, grade is very important. But tungsten differs from other industrial metals and minerals and can be a tough metal to process.

In fact, it is so specialized that experience with any other metal or material is not transferable.  Therefore, having geologists and a metallurgist who have significant tungsten specific experience is key.

Furthermore, there are primarily two minerals that contain tungsten—wolframite and scheelite—and each requires different milling techniques.

The benchmark for tungsten concentrate is ammonium paratungstate (APT), which is the key intermediate product and most commonly traded tungsten material. The APT benchmark is based on FOB Rotterdam. Tungsten demand is correlated with growth in gross domestic product (GDP). While Europeans' consumption of tungsten is down,

Europe only accounts for 12% of global consumption. China and the U.S. account for 55% and 13%, respectively, and their two economies are doing much better. According to Bloomberg, consensus estimates for growth in GDP for China and the U.S. averages 8.03% and 2.50%, respectively, for 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The consensus estimate for Europe's growth in GDP during the same period is only 1%. Therefore, there is certainly an argument that APT prices are artificially low and should be higher than the current average of $350/metric ton unit ($350/Mtu), which is up 8.5% relative to the end of 2012.
