Hazelwood nears production in Vietnam
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Hazelwood Resources was one step closer to starting ferrotungsten production at its ATC ferrotungsten project, in Vietnam, after successfully installing the first fill of ferrotungsten metal into the plant’s furnace.
The ferrotungsten metal would be retained in the furnace during operations to protect the furnace shell from extreme temperatures associated with the production of the alloy.
Hazelwood said this week that hot commissioning and first production was scheduled for the end of this month, and noted that all of the production workforce was currently on site, undergoing training and making preparations for production.
All of the feedstock required for a start-up of production had also been secured, and the final lots were being cleared through customs.
Stage 1 of the ATC plant had a nameplate capacity of 4 000 t/y of ferrotungsten alloy, equivalent to 3 000 t/y of contained tungsten. A second stage, if completed, would have sufficient capacity to supply around 25% of the world’s ferrotungsten.
The ATC ferrotungsten project is the largest-capacity plant outside of China.
