Carbine Tungsten: Aiming for Project Restart Within 18 Months

Mining Weekly reported that Australia’s Carbine Tungsten, which operates the historic opencast Mount Carbine project in Queensland, Australia, is hoping to restart production within the next 18 months.

According to the company’s managing director, Jim Morgan, the permitting process for the project has already been started.

Carbine Tungsten was given environmental clearance last month to process hard rock stockpiled ore at the Mount Carbine project to progress the project and supplement production from the existing tailings treatment operation.

The company is now in final discussions with Mistubishi, with whom it signed a MOU in February.

Under the Mitsubishi investment, the plant would have a capacity of some 1.5-million tons a year, but we have a number of interested parties that are looking to increase the size of that plant and the extrac- tion rate.
