LONDON (Alliance News) - W Resources PLC said on Thursday it has successfully shot the first T2 blast at the La Parrilla tungsten project in Spain.
The blast covered a mainly barren zone, to prepare access to the 10 metre benches closer to the run-of-mine pad and crusher plant in the fast track mine area. The blast will also continue to open up directly accessible ore to the mine operation.
W Resources' priority for La Parrilla is to complete the commissioning of the jig & mill plant which is underway alongside completing the concentrator plant.
"The first T2 mine blast at La Parrilla is a significant event for W Resources and kicks-off the commencement of hard rock mining operations. The explosive blast was completed successfully with the highest level of safety and supervision," said Chair Michael Masterman.
"The ore will be mined at low-cost using a truck and shovel operation and transported via the newly constructed ramp to the new 350 tonne per hour crusher plant where it will be crushed and then fed to the newly constructed jig & mill Plant as part of the commissioning process," Masterman added.
Shares in W Resources were up 1.5% at 0.44 pence on Thursday.
