Ikar Minerals claims to have a large tungsten deposit in Tajikistan. Even more exciting is their cobalt, currently in short supply, due to disruptions in Congo/Zambia production. ikar.com

Ed: The world of tungsten is a very eclectic one as the mineral is rare, and deposits are rather few and far between. One place to start is North American Tungsten's web site, westpac.bc.ca which has a lot of information on tungsten. If you are seriously interested, I would call the company at 604-682-1333 and speak with Ron Shinton. Also, I would ask for an investor's package, as they have some reports that are not easily found anywhere else. Here is another link: a tungsten association meeting to be held in Japan in OCt 1999. A brief article describing the tungsten bullet and its impact: itia.org.uk I hope this helps. Regards Dan

Ed: I just visited the International Tungsten site: itia.org.uk and they have an interesting article on tungsten. If you click on information on tungsten, you will see the article, which also details the shift in production from many other countries, to China, as the main producer. The article is at least 1-2 years old but probably still quite relevant. One of the amazing items of information is that tungsten was priced at $10 per metric ton in 1963, and rose to $177 by 1977. As I mentioned in an earlier note, I believe that the current prices are around $48/mtu., but have been projected by NTC to go much higher over the next several years, as the demand/supply situation continues to develop in a direction favorable for NTC.
