PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Tungsten miner EQ Resources has continued to increase production at its Mt Carbine operation, in Western Australia, increasing output by 88% between August and September.

The ASX-listed company on Tuesday said that Mt Carbine produced 202.8 t of tungsten concentrate in September, and in the three months to September produced 422 t, a 181% increase on the previous quarter as the mine output reached two-thirds of its design capacity.

“The ramp-up phase of mining from the Andy White pit is proceeding as expected and we look forward to further improvement in the months ahead,” said EQ Resources CEO Kevin MacNeill.

“The plant has performed slightly better than expected with the feature being the performance of our two high-tech TOMRA XRT ore sorters. I am very pleased to see overall metal recovery above 80% even with the higher-grade feed being processed.”

First primary ore was processed through the rehabilitated and upgraded gravity plant in the quarter, whereas throughout September the gravity plant has still processed only approximately 70% of openpit ore and 30% of low-grade stockpile material.
