加拿大曾经是钨的主要生产国之一 ,由于钨市场价格过低 ,开采不经济 ,于１９８７年停产。在停产前的１０年期间 ,其生产的矿石和精矿中含钨量平均约为２５００ｔ／ａ。在此阶段 ,只有中国和前苏联持续大量生产 ,但由于其储量的规模和质量 ,加拿大仍将是个主要的潜在的产钨国。 Canada was once one of the major producers of tungsten and was discontinued in 1987 due to the uneconomic exploitation of the tungsten market due to low prices. During the 10 years prior to discontinuation, the average tungsten content in the ores and concentrates it produces is about 2500 t / a. At this stage, only China and the former Soviet Union continued to mass-produce, but Canada will remain a major potential tungsten producer due to its size and quality of reserves.
