Ormonde mine in Spain to go live by end of next year

Ormonde Mining is targeting first production from its flagship project in western Spain by end of next year.

The Co. Meath-headquartered prospecting firm recently hinted commercialisation of the long-awaited, but potentially lucrative, Barruecopardo tungsten mine near Salamanca was likely to be delayed until next year.

However, recent test drilling results also suggested the natural life of the mine should be extended from nine years to around 14 years.
