North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd.
North American Tungsten Corporation is one of the largest tungsten mining companies in the West. It acquires, develops, explores for, and processes oxide ores to produce tungsten concentrates mainly in Canada's Northwest Territories. Tungsten, an industrial metal also known as wolfram, is a dense, metallic element known for its resistance to corrosion and heat. It is second only to diamonds in hardness and thus used in a variety of industrial products, including high-speed cutting tools, jet turbine engines, electronic circuitry, and surgical instruments. The company's primary project, its Cantung production site, was temporarily suspended in late 2009 due to declining tungsten prices and excess inventory.
