Strategic Importance of Tungsten

Tungsten is a critical mineral with unique properties including the highest melting point of all metals, exceptional density, and resistance to thermal and mechanical stress. These characteristics make it indispensable in numerous high-performance applications.

In particular, tungsten plays an increasingly vital role in the aerospace and space industries. It is used in satellite components, rocket engine nozzles, radiation shielding, and high-temperature structural materials for spacecraft. Its strength and heat resistance also make tungsten a preferred material in the manufacture of advanced alloys used in turbine blades and hypersonic flight technology.

With growing demand for high-tech and defense applications, and limited global supply, tungsten has been designated a critical mineral by both the Canadian and U.S. governments. Projects like the Burnt Hill Project are strategically important as secure domestic sources of this vital material.
