About W
In 2012, W Resources Plc (AIM: WRES) made the successful transition into a tungsten production, exploration and development company with projects in Spain and Portugal, following two acquisitions. Projects now include La Parrilla, a tungsten project in Spain, the Régua and Tarouca Tungsten projects and the Portalegre gold project in Portugal.
The Company’s deposits and tungsten mine developments offer a low cost, high margin resource development opportunity due to a strong market following for tungsten, increased trading and a forecast shortage of supply. The price of tungsten has more than doubled in the past three years and is in the EU top 5 critical metals list.
The Board is focused to explore further opportunities in the region with a view to building a mid-tier minor metal producer.
The Company was incorporated in England and Wales in 2004.
