Mineralogical features of tungsten ores affecting their processability

Tungsten is a scarce mineral raw material essential for critical industries. The country is in acute need of developing new tungsten deposits. The Shauyrkhyg prospective area is currently a site that requires detailed study. Investigating the composition and structure of the ore using a set of technological mineralogy methods (optical-mineralogical, X-ray diffraction, chemical, and electron microscopy analysis) allows determining its processing prospects.
