Tungsten RNS extremely positive development17 Jun 2025 00:07
"Multiple selective grab samples recently taken have recorded over 1% WO3 (tungsten trioxide), with maximum of 1.75% WO3.
· The assay results significantly upgrade the tungsten potential around and between the workings where the previous highest recorded sample was 0.33% WO3."
"Potential for significant upgrade between the two workings with use of modern technology."
Very significant positive update today aside from the huge potential copper porphyry and gold prospects, especially given that the US govt recently declared it a critical mineral. In short it is in high demand and in very very short supply in the US......
"Tungsten production in the US ceased in 2015. The US had been mining tungsten, but it was no longer commercially viable due to low prices and competition from China.
The Asian giant dominates global tungsten production, accounting for over 80% of last year’s total output of 81,000 tons, according to the USGS.
In a report published early this year by Hallgarten & Company: Tungsten Review: A Matter of Urgency, the authors point out there were few survivors of the tungsten slump that had ravaged the sub sector since the start of last decade.
“Now, Tungsten has ‘turned on a dime’ with its role as the prime military metal prompting a rush to restock supplies and reestablish non-Chinese supply lines in this critical metal for Western defense and industry,”
