MINING
The project produces around 3.5 to 3.8mn tonnes of ore per year , including tungsten , bismuth , fluorspar and small amounts of copper and gold . Bradshaw notes that the challenge then becomes one of processing those different minerals , both effectively and efficiently .
“ It really is a challenge in being able to process those minerals and extract them at different stages of the process ,” says Bradshaw . “ I ’ d argue it ’ s probably more challenging here than at any other mine in the world , given the nature of the minerals .”
Alas , Bradshaw points to considerable success that he has overseen at the project in recent years . In 2017 , Masan Resources reported a record year for production across all of its commodities , with a 5.7 % increase year on year with tungsten , copper and acid grade fluorspar production increasing
