Another possible secondary resource of tungsten is tungsten tailings. They are solid waste generated in the process of tungsten ores beneficiation. Because of the relatively low tungsten content in the ore, around 0.4–0.6% on average, the production of 1 t of tungsten concentrate (50–65% WO 3) generates 7–10 t of tailings .

Tungsten is typically produced from two main ores: wolframite and scheelite. The following is a general overview of the process for producing tungsten from wolframite ore: Mining. Tungsten ore is mined using conventional underground and open pit mining methods. The ore is then crushed and concentrated using gravity separation techniques. Roasting
