Operational Update

Specialty metals producer, Wolf Minerals Limited (ASX: WLF, AIM: WLFE) ("Wolf" or "the Company"), provides the following update on operations at its Drakelands open pit mine ("Drakelands") at the Company's Hemerdon tungsten and tin project in Devon, southwest England.

In the June Quarterly Report released on 28 July 2017, the Company announced the implementation of a detailed operating turnaround plan designed to achieve a sustainable production platform by the December quarter.

In recent months, the Company has progressed the operating turnaround plan with a particular focus on:

· improving processing plant reliability in the crushing circuit;

· improving performance of the refinery to enhance production levels; and

· reducing noise emissions from the processing plant including low frequency noise ("LFN").

The improvements are being implemented whilst the Company has voluntarily shutdown the vibrating screens in the processing plant on weekends. Wolf has continued to develop technical solutions with its lead construction contractor, GR Engineering Services Limited ("GRES"), to expedite a comprehensive LFN solution whilst meeting operational requirements during this important period of production improvements.

The Company has assessed the costs of ongoing LFN rectifications and has decided to notify GRES of its intention to recover these costs from the £7.5 million Performance Bond under the construction contract. The Company is confident that the Performance Bond will be sufficient to cover the costs of implementing the technical solutions required to deliver a successful LFN outcome.

Richard Lucas, Interim Managing Director, said:

"We are encouraged by the progress being made on the operating turnaround plan at this early stage, with further improvements planned for the coming months to achieve a sustainable production platform before the end of the year.

We are also encouraged by an improving tungsten price which supports the opportunity for Drakelands to be an important part of the global supply chain for such a critical industrial metal.

Managing our operations successfully also requires us to maintain strong relationships with our local communities, which includes further reductions in low frequency noise emissions. Therefore, after extended discussions with our lead construction contractor, GRES, we have decided to notify them of our intention to call upon the Performance Bond to ensure an LFN solution is achieved as quickly as possible."

Good recovery going on here.....

Wolf Receives Additional £10 Million Funding

Specialty metals producer, Wolf Minerals (ASX: WLF, AIM: WLFE) (Wolf or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the Company's financing arrangements to support short term working capital as it progresses towards long term self-sustaining operations at the Drakelands open pit mine (Drakelands).
Highlights
· Existing Bridge Facility increased from £45 million to £55 million.
· Operating turnaround plan is delivering improved plant performance.
· Tungsten price increases to US$280 per mtu.
The Company is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Resource Capital Fund VI L.P. (RCF VI) to amend the existing bridge facility in place with RCF VI (as announced on 24 October 2016 and 28 June 2017) (the Bridge Facility) pursuant to which RCF VI has agreed to provide the Company with an additional £10 million.

The funds advanced under the Bridge Facility to date have been used to progress the operating turnaround plan, including improved performance in:

· the Primary DMS circuit, with all phases now complete.

· the refinery, with first phase delivering an increase in throughput and availability. The final phase is scheduled for November.

· the gravity fines circuit to improve recoveries and the grade of pre-concentrate presented to the refinery, scheduled for November.

· maintenance activities, including implementation of a new system with associated process and work flow improvements.

The operating turnaround plan remains on schedule as the Company builds towards commercial production and design performance.

In addition to the ongoing improvements in operating performance, the price of tungsten has continued to increase from US$269 in August 2017 to US$280 per mtu in October 2017. The tungsten market remains in tight supply of raw material whilst demand for finished goods is improving, indicating continued price support at these levels.

The Company will continue to review its long term capital requirements as the operating turnaround plan progresses and further value adding opportunities and cost reduction initiatives are investigated.

Wolf Interim Managing Director, Richard Lucas, commented:

"The operating turnaround plan is delivering improved processing plant performance and is also building knowledge and experience across the business. When combined with improving tungsten market conditions, this provides an exciting outlook for 2018. The Company acknowledges RCF VI's continued support, which is testament to their confidence in Drakelands and the future success of Wolf."

One2One Mining Investor Forum

IMHO.... DYOR- This is an Australian-backed company mining Tungsten at "Drakelands" ( just North by Hemerdon, Plymouth, Devon.... Nearest=A38). Whilst it employs many locals it is hugely loss-making, despite the mine being on an earlier mine ( so much easier regulations, geophysics, etc. )... it lost £43.5million according to the local Plymouth newspaper, The Herald. It has support from Aus. investors and a current sp about 3p5
Not sure if "Drakelands" is a whiff of Elizabethan puff as Sailor Drake was from the area However, Tungsten ( and Tin) are known to be present and the World Market price is unlikely to fall ( much?), . . . all that really matters is the cost of Extraction. According to their website the restoration costs are factored-in so hopefully in a few years there won't be a cash-call to fund closure.
This is a "Wait and see" for me.

A mention here.

What to say? Not sure. What an odd situation. We expect to conclude this week but we run out of money on Thursday.

yet another one for the glue factory

I hope not. Can't see that happening. Too much investment has been put into it.

I've spent an hour looking at this company this morning so take what I say with a pinch of salt, but it looks to me like the company needs to scale back investment and ramp up production. Easier said than done.

Suspended pending clarification of financial position.

Which could mean anything

Another gem of an investment! :-(

Sorry to hear Skinny.

I read the accounts yesterday. Ramp up in production looked too slow to me but I'll be surprised if they go under.

Probably more convertible loans/warrants?

My two forays into home grown mines are these and SXX - I hold quite a lot of the latter.

Time will tell and yes, probably more paper!
