North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. announces Cantung mine restart
The board of directors of North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (the “Company”) is pleased to
announce that the Company has reached a production decision to restart its wholly-owned Cantung mine,
located on the border of the Yukon and N.W.T. The process of restarting mining operations will commence
immediately, with production expected in August of this year.
The Company’s decision was reached based upon off-take commitments which, in the aggregate, account for
approximately 70% of its forecast annual production of 400,000 metric tonne units (“mtu’s”) of tungsten
concentrate. While the Company continues to negotiate on the remaining 30% of its annual production, it
may elect to hold back all or a portion thereof to affect sales in the spot market.
Details of any off-take or supply agreements, or other ongoing negotiations, are being, and will be, kept
confidential until such time as mutually agreed upon by the Company and its customers.
During the past year a global supply deficit has caused tungsten prices to rise to all time record levels. The
board of directors believes that current market dynamics, and the continuing development of new industrial
uses for this very unique metal, augurs well for the future of the tungsten industry.
Upon the commencement of production the Company’s Cantung mine will again be the western world’s
largest producer of tungsten concentrate.
