Successful Processing Trial
Tungsten West (LON:TUN), the mining company focused on restarting production
at the Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine ("Hemerdon" or the "Project") in Devon,
UK, is pleased to report positive progress from the ongoing processing trial
at Hemerdon.
The trial is being undertaken as part of a programme focused on testing and
optimising the performance of key sections of the mineral processing facility.
The programme forms part of the Company's approach to de-risking operations
and gathering technical data essential for the planned restart of full-scale
production.
As part of the trial programme, the Company has generated its first trial
tungsten concentrate.
Jeff Court, CEO of Tungsten West (https://www.tungstenwest.com/) , commented:
"The progress we are making in this processing trial is an important milestone
in restarting operations at Hemerdon and provides confidence to our
neighbours, the Environment Agency, our investors and off-takers that we are
moving towards production. We have ensured that all activities throughout this
trial have been conducted to high environmental and operational standards.
"As the need for a diversified source of tungsten intensifies, Hemerdon
becomes an even more important strategic asset."
