Lewis Black, President & CEO of Almonty commented, “The significant increase in mineral reserves has enabled Almonty to extend the life of mine at Panasqueira and validates our belief in the longevity of the mine. In addition, we are continuing our testing work on the tailings stock piles at the mine. X-ray sorting test work carried out to date has been very promising and has the potential to significantly enhance the long-term viability of the mine. We anticipate further evaluation and pilot plant testing on the tailings will enable us to expand the tailings resources and finalize the milling circuit design that will allow us to recovery the contained tungsten in the tailings.”
