Mineral resource classification for WO3 was based primarily on an analysis of viability and risk, drillhole spacing and on continuity of mineralization.
Key Points:
- Mineral resource classification for WO3 was based primarily on an analysis of viability and risk, drillhole spacing and on continuity of mineralization.
- Inferred and Indicated resources were defined as using increasing thresholds of continuity, confidence, and data density.
- Mactung is a tungsten skarn deposit located on the eastern margin of the Selwyn basin in the Canadian Cordillera’s Tombstone-Tungsten Belt (“TTB”).
- The Mactung deposit is associated with Tungsten Suite intrusions that intruded late Precambrian to Palaeozoic age, variably metamorphosed clastic and interbedded carbonate rocks of the Selwyn Basin.
