Hazelwood on track for production targets
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Tungsten miner Hazelwood Resources is on track to produce 1 500 t of ferrotungsten from its ATC ferrotungsten project, in Vietnam, this year, MD Terry Butler-Blaxell reported on Friday.
With production on target, Hazelwood was expecting to have 30% of the non-China ferrotungsten market by the end of the year.
“The production figures speak for themselves and can do so on a quarterly basis now,” said Butler-Blaxell.
“Our grade is up, the operations are stable and our product has real traction in the market. Feedstock arrives, we process it regularly to meet customer requirements and the campaign-based approach is not really relevant anymore. It’s quite satisfying to be a reliable produce of this niche product,” he added.
The ATC project started production in 2013, and has just concluded its third campaign, shipping 331 t of product at the end of January. The current fourth campaign was nearing completion, and was operating at similar output levels, using increased tonnage of feedstock.
Butler-Blaxell noted that record ferrotungsten grades have been achieved with recent shipments averaging 78.5% tungsten content.
The project would continue to operate on the batch production process through the remainder of the year.
