Hyderabad: Stepping up scouting activities for strategic minerals, state-owned NMDC Limited has approached the Western Australian Government, seeking a license to explore Tungsten, a metal much in need for the Indian defence and aerospace sectors.
“Three new exploration tenement applications were made in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. All three tenements have some known Tungsten occurrences and prospective geology to host polymetallic mineralisation, which includes Tungsten, Copper, Zinc, Gold and rare earth elements. Native Title agreements have been signed with the relevant parties,” company sources told PTI.
Legacy iron , a subsidiary of NMDC in Australia, carries out exploration work for Iron ore, gold and other minerals in that country. “Legacy is carrying out exploration in its 19 exploration tenements in Western Australia in Iron Ore, Gold and base metals. Presently, Legacy is concentrating in exploration of Gold in Mount Celia where good occurrence of Gold is observed, they said.
