Tungsten Price History: – History Repeating Itself
Tungsten uses
• Tungsten is a specialty metal – hardest metal, highest melting point
• Annual trade ~80,000 to 100,000 tonnes metal equivalent
• 50% used to make tungsten carbide for cutting hard substances
• 25% used for hardening steel (for tool steel, cutting steel)
• 25% used for myriad of high tech applications, mostly with no substitutes.
Tungsten pricing
• Tungsten prices are quoted for Ammonium Para Tungstate (APT) or Ferro Tungsten alloy in Metric Tonne Units (mtu)
• 1 mtu is 1% of tungsten metal in a tonne of something (concentrate, chemical or final product)
• Price received for concentrate is at a discount to APT price, discount depends on quality of concentrate (and demand for tungsten)
• To make it easier CNQ forecasts production in mtu’s and uses a sale price reflecting anticipated current discount.
