Plant improvements at tungsten, tin and gold miner W Resources’ La Parrilla project, in Spain, should be completed early next month.

During the quarter ended December 31, the plant continued to work a four-day week. Operations moved to a five-day working week earlier this month and the plan is to move to a seven-day working week by April.

The company intends to operate its La Parrilla mine on a true 24/7 basis.

Meanwhile, during the fourth quarter, a total of 261 841 t of run-of-mine ore was fed to the La Parrilla plant, up 53% on a like-for-like basis and up 15% on a pro rata basis compared with the quarter before.

Total tungsten and tin concentrate production reached 133.4 t for the quarter, up 72% on a like-for-like basis and up 29% on a pro rata basis compared with the third quarter.

Tungsten concentrate production was 100 t during the quarter, up 83% on a like-for-like basis and up 37% on a pro rata basis compared with the quarter before; while tin concentrate production of 33.4 dry metric tonnes was up 46% on a like-for-like basis and up 9% on a pro rata basis compared with the third quarter.
