PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Group 6 Metals has achieved commercial production at its Dolphin tungsten mine, in Tasmania.

The company on Tuesday said that first tungsten concentrate shipment is expected later this month.

“We are thrilled to achieve commercial production within weeks of the production of first concentrate at the Dolphin tungsten mine. Our achievement of successfully processing more than 10 000 t of ore in June and producing concentrate ready for sale is another significant milestone for the company and a credit to the hard work and dedication of our site team and contractors,” said MD and CEO Keith McKnight.

“The team will now focus on the commencement of drill and blast operations later in the month which we expect to further improve the performance of the process plant by increasing the head grade.”

Dolphin is expected to have an initial mine life of 14 years, with the project having a processing capacity of 450 000 t/y.
