Wet Commissioning Process Underway at Hemerdon Tungsten and Tin Project

Specialty metals development company, Wolf Minerals Limited (ASX: WLF, AIM: WLFE) ("Wolf" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced ore processing as part of the wet commissioning of the processing plant at its Hemerdon tungsten and tin project in Devon, UK.

Key points

· First ore has been fed into the processing plant, a significant step in the wet commissioning programme.

· GR Engineering will continue commissioning with Wolf, with plant handover scheduled for August 2015.

· Wolf remains on schedule to deliver initial concentrates to customers in Q3, 2015.

The introduction of the first ore into the plant was on schedule following the completion of construction of the processing plant and associated infrastructure.

This represents a major milestone in the development timeline of the Hemerdon project, and ensures that the Company's goal of delivering the first new metal mine in Great Britain for 45 years will shortly become a reality.

One of the few investments I can keep a physical eye on. The local involvement and approval is almost unique given the big visible presence the site has and so close to Dartmoor also.

Wolf Minerals broker hustings in the Old Dart
Post Wed Jul 01, 2015 8:41 pm
We credit Wolf Minerals for doing what no one in Britain has managed for 45 years and we’re not talking about abolishing the monarchy.

Wolf was on the broker hustings in the Old Dart last night having last week commissioned its $250 million Hemerdon tungsten mine in Devon — a right royal effort in such a torrid market.

First customer deliveries of the strategic metal are due in the September quarter.

A well as being the first new metals mine in the Old Dart for more than four decades, Hemerdon becomes a source of new supply in the tight Chinese-dominated tungsten market.

A heavy, non-corrosive metal with a high melting point, tungsten has uses including steel alloys, drilling and the nuclear industry.

Tungsten has not been immune from the commodities pain. But at $US225-$US230 a tonne, Wolf claims a decent margin at an all-in production cost (including funding) of $US170 a tonne.

In the colonies, Carbine Tungsten hopes that Wolf’s achievement will boost investor sentiment towards its Mount Carbine project near Cairns.

Backed by $15m and an offtake agreement from Mitsubishi, Carbine has processed tailings at the mine, which operated in the 1980s.

Carbine chief Jim Morgan says the board is fielding funding offers from several US, Japanese and Chinese and is confident of a deal. The feasibility study estimated a $55m cost with an 18-month payback period, for a net present value of $160m.

The tungsten price has softened since then, but the Australian dollar has favourably risen and costs have fallen. On balance, we’ll assume the metrics haven’t changed.

“We believe the fundamentals of our project are the best of anyone’s.’’

Morgan admires what Wolf has done, but can’t help pointing out Wolf’s higher costs and more difficult locale (that is, it’s near civilisation and more disruptive).

Wolf contends Hemerdon is years ahead of any other new tungsten project. For nearby Plymouth, the mine — and the 200 jobs it creates — is the best thing since Captain Cook.

Wolf and Carbine pose the choice of an extant miner with a $330m market cap, or the up-and-comer valued at $38m.

Criterion last had Wolf and Carbine as spec buys two years ago, at 25c and 6c respectively.

Given we’re not about punishing success, we maintain the call. However, Wolf needs to overcome the bogy that the first owner of a mine tends not to be the one that makes the money.

Plagiarised :-

IC made Wolf one of their Tips of the Week today, taking a long term view. About the cost vs tungsten price they say:-

"Wolf estimates that total costs, including debt repayment, should amount to around $170 per tonne. Although tungsten prices have fallen by about 50 per cent since it started construction at Hemerdon to an average of $243 a tonne over the three months to 30 June, there's still a decent amount of headroom. It's also worth noting that Wolf Minerals' cost-per-tonne estimates were based on a 5.5-day working week - management is now looking at trimming unit costs by pursuing a 24/7 option."

it's fine working 24/7 if there's a market for the extra produced

the chinese are great are churning out products where the market is already saturated, and of course that just makes matters worse

Chairman's Letter

Dear shareholder

It's with a great sense of achievement that I write to you in this Annual Report.

The 2015 financial year has been another transformational one for Wolf Minerals Limited ("Wolf" or "the Company") and your Board is very pleased with the progress made at Wolf's core project, the Hemerdon tungsten and tin project ("the Project") where construction has been completed on schedule and within the budget.

This is a significant achievement and management is congratulated on its efforts to produce this result, and to produce it safely whilst also working successfully with the critical aspects of environmental management and community engagement.

Commissioning of the processing plant is nearing completion, with successful tungsten concentrate production achieved. The subsequent throughput test is underway and the processing plant is expected to be transferred across to Wolf in September 2015. The processing plant will now be gradually ramped to full production, expected in early 2016.

Whilst the construction of the project has been the primary focus, the Company has also been exploring ways to increase shareholder value, with two initiatives in particular achieving this aim in the last year.

In late 2014, geotechnical drilling was undertaken around the perimeter of the open pit at Drakelands, to better understand the composition of the wall rocks, with a view to steepening the pit walls and accessing more ore. The work was successful and as a result a deeper pit, with steeper walls, has been designed and the ore reserves were increased by 9.5 million tonnes or 34% - a significant increase.

The second initiative considered the operating hours that the processing plant is permitted to work under the planning permission issued in the 1980's in which operating hours were restricted to 5 1/2 days per week. Management has worked closely with the Devon County Council and the local Parish Councils and reached agreement that a 6 month trial of 7 days per week operation be undertaken, with a view to continuing this if regulatory requirements, particularly concerning noise, are met.

A 7 days per week operation will result in a better environment to commission the processing plant, where continuous operations are preferable. A continuous operation also has the potential to lift production capability of the mine by around 25% - a very significant increase that would make Drakelands one of the biggest tungsten mines in the western world.

Like many commodity markets, the tungsten market has softened during the course of the last 12 months. Demand from some sectors and countries, such as the automotive industry in Europe and Japan, was steady. However the economic slowdown in China and fall in the oil price, resulted in a reduction in manufacturing and drilling activities globally and reducing the need for tungsten tools and drill bits. On the supply side, unlike some commodity markets such as coal, iron ore and oil, very limited new supply has entered the market in the last year and no substantial new supply, other than Wolf's production, is expected in the coming year.

The fundamentals for the tungsten market remain strong, with demand expected to consolidate and grow, and limited new supply coming to market. The Board remains confident that the tungsten market will strengthen and that Wolf will be well placed when it does, being potentially one of the biggest tungsten producers in the western world.

On behalf of the Board I thank our Managing Director, Russell Clark, and his senior management team Richard Lucas, Rupert McCracken and Jeff Harrison for their tireless efforts to make the Project a reality.
