HC Starck on Buying Tungsten From Africa

Metal Bulletin reported that German technology metals supplier HC Starck  doesn’t prioritize sourcing its tungsten from Africa. However, the company is not adverse to doing so, pending the material is traceable and completely conflict free.

According to the report, a spokeswoman from the company commented:
