## Minestarters Atlas summary

Tungsten Mining has released a Pre-Feasibility Study for its Mt Mulgine project in Western Australia, reporting standout economics including a base case pre-tax NPV of $6.8bn and 55% IRR. The project is expected to be a low-cost tungsten producer with an AISC of US$127/mtu and targets a Definitive Feasibility Study in H2 2026.

Reasoning: The Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) for Mt Mulgine presents exceptional economics with a base case pre-tax NPV of $6.8bn and 55% IRR, supported by a large tungsten-molybdenum resource.

- Positive factor: Extremely high NPV and IRR

- Positive factor: Low AISC relative to global peers

- Positive factor: Significant resource scale

- Positive factor: Clear development timeline

- Negative factor: 13% of mine plan relies on inferred resources

Facts used in scoring: 15

## Classification and evidence

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The document reports a Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) which includes updated resource and reserve figures.

Evidence · text

> releasing a highly attractive PFS for Mt Mulgine

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 13% of the mine plan is drawn from inferred resources.

Evidence · text

> About 13% of the mine plan is drawn from inferred resources

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
