Woulfe Mining Corp WFEMF

Metalurgical Testing

[CJHallee]

" The feasibility study is running three months late due to the drilling and the metallurgical test work which was moved to China. Tungsten was mined and APT manufactured for many years by the previous mine owner Korea Tungsten. Woulfe is focused on reconfirming the recoveries and looking to optimise the flow sheet using new age Chinese technology that has been developed over the last 20 years as the world's largest APT supplier. Feasibility is due for release at the end of the quarter."

 

I may be wrong but wasn't the initial metalurgical testing supposed to be done in Canada?  I am wondering whether they didn't get the desired recovery rates testing in Canada and then decided to move it to China.  Anyone have any ideas?  TIA

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the initial testing was done in Australia not Canada ...

I don't know any more than you do but reading between the lines I suspect you're at least partially correct. Tungsten expertise is lacking in the west so they went to China which mines almost all the tungsten out there at present.

As I remember correctly, the testing has been proceeding from Canadian lab at beginning until Woulfe realized the Canadian lab wasn't doing it in timely manner so they changed it to Chineses. I believe this is the main reason of the delay of f/s... Like cult_of_frank mentioned, (according to Nick) the reason for using Chinese lab was because their expertise on Tungsten

No work was done in Canada and the work in Sydney and Tasmania was positive. The laboratory in Tasmania suggested we go to China due to their experience with the Chinese testwork in their lab being so impressive due to chemicals not available in the west. Cheers nick

Thanks for the info Nick.  Much appreciated.

"Currently, drill core samples for the feasibility metallurgical testing program are being prepared. The program will target a process that is directed at flotation of molybdenum and sulphides, and scheelite flotation along with their respective dewatering circuits. Molybdenum concentrates may be considered for direct marketing while tungsten concentrates will be converted into APT. Other
