Hazelwood Resources announced positive results from an integrated pre-feasibility study for its 100% owned Big Hill Tungsten Deposit in Western Australia. The pre-feasibility study considers that a 12 year operational life at Big Hill is based on processing of 2.3 Mtpa of ore with life of mine strip ratios of 2.2 to 1 through a conventional gravity separation circuit that features ore sorting pre-concentration. This will produce up to 200,000 mtupa concentrate. Total CAPEX for the development of Big Hill is estimated at $A111.6 million.
