Tungsten is a metal of strategic importance. The chief source of Tungsten are wolframite [(Fe,Mn,)WO4], and scheelite (CaWO4). The State has about 23.92 million tonnes resources of tungsten ore which is about 27% of total country’s resources. Important deposits occur near Degana, district Nagaur & near Balda and Uduwaria, district Sirohi. Degana & Balda were the only operative mines producing meager quantities of concentrate. However, owing to economic non viability they have been closed down.
