Michael Masterman, Chairman of W Resources, commented: "A number of challenges encountered towards the end of 2021 have resulted in a much lower performance than we had envisaged. Once again the management team at La Parrilla have overcome these challenges and as we start to mine and process higher-grade ore we are seeing increased levels of production, higher recovery rates and increasing utilisation rates. Lower than expected production levels have put some stress on the Company's cash flow. I am therefore delighted with the support being offered to us by ICD."
Steve Conlin, President of ICD, commented "ICD are thrilled to be able to invest in the La Parrilla mine in Spain, one of the brightest and most attractive conflict free tungsten and tin mines in production today. We look forward to increasing the supply to our global customer base as we increase both quality and production volumes. Tungsten is a very strategic metal and is a major part of the ICD portfolio of strategic defence and high-tech business applications. As a distributor we understand the time it takes to bring a mine into full production and after a number of issues with both plant and access to ore we believe the Company is now at a stage to step up its production. We are excited to become a significant shareholder and participate and contribute towards the Company's growth. We look forward to revisiting the mine and to continue developing our relationship with the Company and its management team."
