The Current State of the World's Major Tungsten Producers (2)

4.Austria: In 2016, the output of Austria tungsten mine was 860 tons. Most of its production was from the Mittersill Hill tungsten mine, which is an evergreen tree in the European tungsten mine. Its output has been stable for many years. The tungsten ore in 2009 by the world's largest hard alloy Sandvik acquisition, increased the persistence of tungsten hard power.

5.Spain: In 2016, the production of tungsten mines in Spain was 800 tons, which was the second in Europe as usual, and many companies in Spain have developed and exploited tungsten mines. For example, Almonty Industries (TSXV:AII), Ormonde Mining (LSE:ORM), Plymouth Minerals (ASX:PLH) and W Resources (ASX:PLH), it is worth noting that the number of tungsten mines in Japan also has Japanese figure.

6.United Kingdom: Tungsten production in the United Kingdom soared sharply in 2016, with production up to 700 tonnes in 2015 compared to just 150 tonnes in 2015, thanks to the discovery of a new tungsten deposit by British companies at the Drakelands Mine in the Hemerdon area. It is understood that the British company will increase investment to build the world class tungsten and tin mine in this mine, and strive for the annual capacity of more than 3000 tons of tungsten concentrate.

7.Portugal: mineral content: 570 tons, Portugal is one of the few countries in the world to exploit tungsten mines, and the production of tungsten in 2016 has increased. It has raised 570 tons of metal over last year's 474 tons. Panasqueira tungsten mine is the largest tungsten mine in Portugal. Borralha tungsten mine was once the second largest tungsten mine in Portugal, and is currently owned by Blackheath Resources, a domestic company.

8.The United States: with Trump came to power, the Americans began to break up the strategic resource protection policy for 22 years, it is understood that the end of the year, in the U.S. state of Nevada pilot, there will be a new preparation of tungsten mining, may also be supporting the corresponding smelting plant. At that time, Trump will use the United States to complete the manufacture of tungsten, of course, this is not his ideal of wishful thinking just because the cost can make nothing of it, are close to the United States Canada khamthong mines are off to bed, Americans can insist on how long, we wil see.

Comprehensive world tungsten production situation, we can find that even China intends to reduce the production of tungsten resources, but did not prevent the country into a new production market, Vietnam mines continue to increase, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe opened a new mine, but in the long run, we are still in favor of increasing control of the important strategic resources of tungsten and molybdenum, rare earth. After all, tungsten is a non-renewable strategic resource. The impact of mining on the environment is also great. Our current selling price does not reflect the true value of tungsten. As a Chinese, we are more willing to see other countries sacrificing their environment to mine resources. But also through the recent environmental supervision and price soaring to think about the future of China's tungsten industry, we should do a good job in upgrading the industry, improve the added value of tungsten products, and optimize the structure of tungsten resources.
