Larvotto Advances Tungsten Recovery at Hillgrove Project

Larvotto Resources has achieved a 90% tungsten recovery rate in metallurgical test-work at its wholly owned Hillgrove project in New South Wales. The results indicate that a straightforward, cost-effective processing circuit can produce a saleable tungsten concentrate alongside current antimony and gold operations.

The latest mineral resource estimate for Hillgrove stands at 8.77 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.05% WO₃, containing 4,774 tonnes of tungsten trioxide. Ongoing process optimization, including gravity separation and acid leaching, aims to further improve recovery rates and concentrate quality. The company has also identified additional tungsten potential in the wider Hillgrove area, supporting future resource growth.
