About W
In 2012, W Resources Plc (AIM:WRES) made the successful transition into a tungsten production exploration and development company with projects in Spain and Portugal, following two acquisitions. Projects now include La Parrilla, a tungsten project in Spain and Régua and Tarouca Tungsten projects and the CAA / Portalegre copper-gold project in Portugal.
The Company's deposits and tungsten mine developments offer a low cost, high margin resource development opportunity due to a strong market following for Tungsten, increased trading and a forecast shortage of supply.
The Board is focused to explore further opportunities in the region with a view to building a mid-tier minor metal producer.
The Company was incorporated in England and Wales in 2004.
