Raw Materials

Mineral raw materials include mined ores and concentrates produced through beneficiation.

About Tungsten

Tungsten is used in cemented carbides, wear-resistant tools, electrodes and high-temperature applications. Scheelite and wolframite are the principal tungsten ore minerals; concentrates, tungsten metal and ferrotungsten are distinct products.
