North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. Releases Second Quarter Financial Results For March 31, 2008
|
| | North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSXV:NTC) ("NTC" or "the Company") The Company announces the release of its second quarter financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2008. Net production was 57,660 mtu's with an average grade of 0.95% WO3.
Near record low winter temperatures combined with rising costs in fuel, contractors and labour elevated site operation expenses to $14,340,000 from $13,815,000 the previous quarter. Overall revenue increased to $12,495,482 from $11,878,914 in the previous quarter.
Mined grade significantly improved during March and the Company anticipates elevated production to approximately 75,000 mtu's for the quarter ending June 30, 2008.
The Company is extremely encouraged by the underground drilling results at the CanTung Mine and will finalize a production planning decision to access this area in the very near future. Additional drilling results for the 3600 level are forthcoming.
The MacTung project continues to gather momentum as the Feasibility Study by Wardrop Engineering enters its final phase. The permitting process will be initiated upon successful completion of the MacTung Feasibility Study.
The Tungsten Commodity price remained relatively stable in the range of US$252.50 per mtu for Ammonium Paratungstate (APT). The Company believes rising demand and limited new supply will continue to place upwards pressure on the Tungsten price.
