Tungsten Mining (ASX:TGN) initiates integrated Scoping Study for Mt Mulgine in Western Australia
Study to review gold start-up phase alongside staged tungsten and molybdenum development
Focus placed on sequencing, infrastructure integration, and long-term project development
asx 200 listed Tungsten Mining (ASX:TGN) has commenced work on a Scoping Study designed to frame the development of the Mt Mulgine project in Western Australia. The project is positioned in the Murchison region and is recognised for its tungsten and molybdenum resources, with scope for early gold extraction as a start-up phase.
Focus of the Study
The integrated study is structured to examine several aspects of Mt Mulgine’s pathway, including mine planning, infrastructure layout, tailings management, and the approvals process. A major theme is the sequencing of a gold start-up operation followed by the progression to a more expansive tungsten and molybdenum phase.
By focusing on integration, the study aims to ensure that the gold extraction phase can operate seamlessly within the broader vision of establishing a long-life tungsten operation. The findings are expected to guide the company’s strategic planning for project roll-out.
Gold Start-Up and Tungsten Expansion
The development strategy incorporates a dual-resource approach. An initial phase based on gold is being assessed to create early cashflow that may underpin infrastructure and operational foundations. This is designed to support the transition to a full-scale tungsten development at Mt Mulgine.
The gold start-up pathway is being reviewed in the context of prevailing commodity conditions. Gold continues to play a strong role in global markets, while tungsten has drawn renewed industrial attention given limited supply and rising demand. This combination highlights the importance of sequencing between the early phase and large-scale tungsten production.
Integration with Long-Term Development
Mt Mulgine’s strategic design includes maximising infrastructure synergies between gold and tungsten phases. The aim is to streamline capital requirements, establish long-term processing frameworks, and optimise resource utilisation. Infrastructure such as transport, processing facilities, and waste management are all part of the review process.
The project’s broader development vision is supported by its significant tungsten and molybdenum presence, with gold serving as an important early-stage resource. This dual approach is expected to provide a structured path from start-up to full-scale production.
Commodity Market Context
Gold prices remain elevated in global markets, providing an important backdrop for the gold start-up assessment. At the same time, tungsten prices have reached record highs due to limited global supply and strong demand across industrial applications. This market environment underlines the relevance of Tungsten Mining’s development study for Mt Mulgine.
The project’s scale, combined with an integrated approach to resource development, reflects the company’s long-term orientation in Australia’s mining landscape. The Scoping Study is therefore positioned as a central step in framing Mt Mulgine’s future as a multi-resource operation.
