Project Description
A bankable feasibility study (BFS) update, completed in May 2023, has proposed a ten-year operation. The update covers total concentrate production of about 38 570 t (50% tungsten content) over a ten-year period, an increase of 25% on the last BFS output.

Project implementation comprises two phases.
