He Modeng British restart to restart the local mining tungsten ore project

Devon in southwest England He Modeng mining project recently caused no small concern is that this is one of the reasons to re-enable the UK for 45 years in the local 's first mines. But more importantly , this will produce tungsten ore resources. This is the kind of activity for many industrial production are essential elements, and rare earth resources and the same, it is also subject to the Chinese .

Relevant information, strong hardness of tungsten , heavy weight , high melting point, is mainly used in the manufacture of cutting tools, high-strength steel and armor-piercing ammunition and rocket nose cone of such weaponry. In the first and during World War II , the British Army used tungsten mainly from He Modeng on mine , but that was due to the British government decided to gradually shut down most of the local mines, this mine also will be closed .

It is understood that He Modeng tungsten ore project is called based on the rich wolframite ore of tungsten element . A number of large mining companies have on the re-development of this project showed great interest , but most are eventually failed, including the once famous mining companies outside of the United States Amaks companies.

Currently, the owner of the project is the Australian mining company Wolf . The company in late 2007 bought the He Modeng mine, but soon the whole industry into the next few years on the market downturn . Due to unfavorable timing , coupled with the majority of the last 30 years of British mines have been ordered to shut down , almost no one that the British government would approve the re- opening of new mines in the country , as well as outsiders do not understand the importance of tungsten ore and underestimated the project attracting investment has been facing many challenges.

Fortunately, two years ago , the British Geological Prospecting Institute for Supply risk level assessment highlights the importance of tungsten tungsten , in the case of the highest risk level 10 , the Institute of tungsten score of 9.5 , with rare the same level of risk , because the production and consumption of these two resources have been dominated China , China may decide to supply to other countries. After evaluation, the British government also recently decided to mine clemency , further contributed to the further development of the project.

After the general meeting , the project obstacles should also clear away the money , the company will accelerate the mine is located in Plymouth and a tungsten products processing plant construction work. After the operation,He Modeng ore products will be divided into two parts tungsten concentrate and tin concentrate , while the former will be sold to manufacturers of high-strength tool company .

The industry believes that , from an economic point of view ,He Modeng mine will bring very profitable . Value of one ton of tungsten at about $ 36,000 , Wolf and other manufacturers sell tungsten minerals are measured in metric tons of degrees , the current price is around $ 360 , about $ 110 per metric ton cost of 3 degrees times . But Wolf Company's ability to make other big companies over the years did not make things , it depends on the success of the project was completed , as well as its first production in the relevant concentrates on schedule next year.
