PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Metals developer Wolf Minerals has started construction of its Hemerdon tungsten and tin project, in the UK.

The project is scheduled to deliver its first product by mid-2015.

“We have been focused on achieving the key milestones required to allow construction to commence at the Hemerdon project, and are delighted that these are now in place and construction can start,” MD Russell Clark said on Tuesday.

“This is a very exciting time in the company’s development and provides visible proof to the market that the project will be built and that Wolf will be the next significant producer of tungsten concentrate globally.”

The £123.2-million project would include a three-million-tonne-a-year processing plant and associated infrastructure. The project was expected to produce about 3 500 t/y of tungsten concentrate and 450 t/y of tin concentrate.

Offtake contracts for the project were already in place.
