Grey River Tungsten Update
Playfair owns 100% of the high-grade tungsten deposit at Grey River, NL, Canada. The deposit is a steeply dipping quartz vein containing wolframite (iron manganese tungstate)
Previously Playfair has carried out drilling, sampling, and metallurgical test work. In 2012 Playfair completed an updated 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment which included an updated resource estimate. Work was paused because of a decreased tungsten price and the large amount of dilution resulting from available mining methods.
The Grey River Tungsten Deposit has attracted renewed interest as tungsten price is increasing, new mining methods are developed, and governments are supporting work on critical minerals. Tungsten is included on the Canadian Critical Minerals list and that of many other countries including EU, South Korea, USA, Japan, Australia, India, and UK.
Playfair is currently investigating novel mining methods to economically extract steeply dipping narrow veins such as Grey River.
