The Mittersill mine (also known as Felbertal Mine[2]) is a large mine located south of the Mittersill town, in the State of Salzburg in western Austria, 30 kilometres (19 mi) South of Kitzbühel and some 340 kilometres (210 mi) southwest of the capital, Vienna. Mittersill is the largest scheelite deposit in Europe, having in 2010 estimated reserves of 6.1 million tonnes of ore grading 0.5% pure tungsten.[3][4] The mine produces around 500.000 t ore grading 0.3 %WO3, i.e., around 1,200 tonnes of WO3 per year (data from 2010 to 2017) .[4][2][5]
