UK-based W Resources remains on track towards its target 2Mtpa ROM production with first production of tungsten and tin concentrate for sale at its flagship La Parilla mine in the Extremadura region of SW Spain, an important stage in the T2 ramp-up phase heading towards production of 2,700tpa WO3 concentrate.
Completion of the new concentrator allows W to produce tungsten and tin concentrate in line with La Parrilla’s standard concentrate specifications. First shipments to customers from the new concentrator are scheduled for Dec.
Throughput is expected to significantly increase when it moves from day shifts to 24-hour operation next month.
