Executive Summary

This Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines the revised milling process for the Springer Tungsten Mine in Pershing County, Nevada. The report details a restart plan that utilizes existing grinding circuits and introduces a centrifugal jig for gravity separation to produce a 65% WO3 scheelite concentrate. The process avoids the existing digester circuit and APT plant, focusing instead on a more cost-effective gravity and flotation approach.

The operational target is a throughput of 1,200 tons per day (tpd), utilizing a rod mill and ball mill circuit. The flowsheet includes molybdenum removal, sulfide flotation, and a four-stage scheelite flotation circuit. The mine is classified as an underground operation with development status, aiming to reactivate the mill with updated motor drives to meet production targets.
