Tungsten in nuclear fusion, page-5

This is a resurrection of my thread from Feb 15 regarding new uses for tungsten in nuclear fusion reactor chambers

The below article hit the media 24 hours ago.
I had previously written in my thread that tungsten was identified for use in nuclear fusion chambers.
Now here is a commercial example that supports that story.
In much that same way as Nyobolt is attempting to secure tungsten supply via their 15% shareholder, Masan/HC Starck, (with whom EQR has an MOU), it would appear that Oxford Sigma are attempting to secure supply through the UK tungsten mine, Hemerdon which is operated by listed entity, Tungsten West.

Its quite a telling story in fact, that companies like Nyobolt and Oxford Sigma, are going down this path, because they know that 1) tungsten worldwide is in short supply and 2) that they know they will need lots of tungsten going forward to ensure constant uninterrupted supply

(Alliance News) - Tungsten West PLC on Monday celebrated signing a dealwith Oxford Sigma to explore and establish supply pathway options usingtungsten for fusion energy deployment.

Tungsten West is a mining company focused on restarting production atthe Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine in Devon, England. Its shares were up 15% at3.75 pence each in London on Monday morning.

Under the terms of the collaboration, Tungsten will work with OxfordSigma to source raw tungsten material in the UK, with the goal of deployingthese tungsten-based components across the globe.

Oxford Sigma is an Oxfordshire, England-based company focused ondelivering materials technology, materials solutions, and fusion designservices in order to accelerate the commercialisation of fusion energy.

"We are excited toenter into this collaboration agreement with Oxford Sigma which represents asignificant step forward in advancing the development of sustainable and cleanenergy solutions. Tungsten is a key material required in fusion energy,essential in several key application areas within the reactors and, as weprogress to production at Hemerdon, we are in a position to supply tungstenglobally," said Chief Executive Officer Neil Gawthorpe
