Tungsten occurs as wolframite, which is an iron manganese tungstate mineral ( [Fe,Mn]WO 4 ), and scheelite (CaWO 4 ). Tungsten-bearing deposits occur in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and along the eastern coast of Australia. There is potential for new resource definition and upgrade of existing resources in historical …
