Critica Limited has engaged DRA Global to carry out an underground scoping study for its tungsten-tin project in Tasmania, as metal prices rise. The work relates to the company’s Mt Lindsay project, where Critica is assessing how an underground development could potentially unlock more value from the deposit. According to multiple outlets, the study will focus on the scoping level assessment, conducted by the engineering firm, to examine the underground approach and its implications for the project’s prospects. The reports consistently link the decision to the recent increase in tungsten and related metal prices, which the company says improves the economics of exploring further development options. While the coverage does not provide detailed timelines or study outcomes, it indicates that the scoping study is intended to inform next steps for the project. Overall, the announcements centre on the appointment of DRA Global and the initiation of the underground study at the Tasmanian Mt Lindsay tungsten-tin asset in response to stronger market conditions.
