Core operations and projects
Almonty describes itself as a diversified and experienced producer of tungsten concentrate. The company states that it is currently mining, processing and shipping tungsten concentrate from the Panasqueira Mine in Portugal. This long-standing operation provides ongoing production of tungsten concentrate from a European jurisdiction.
In South Korea, Almonty is advancing its Sangdong tungsten mine in Gangwon Province, which the company reports is currently under construction. Almonty’s disclosures describe Sangdong as having been historically one of the largest tungsten mines in the world and one of the few long-life, high-grade tungsten deposits outside of China. The company has also reported a significant molybdenum resource on a separate property adjacent to the tungsten orebody at the Sangdong Mine.
Almonty has stated that the Sangdong Mine is its flagship project and that it has filed an updated NI 43‑101 technical report on the mineral resources and reserves of the Sangdong Project in South Korea. The company indicates that current mine and processing plant construction for Phase I of the Sangdong Mine is expected to lead to production, with a targeted ore throughput capacity and the potential for a further Phase II expansion, subject to various conditions and decisions described in its technical and regulatory disclosures.
Beyond Portugal and South Korea, Almonty also identifies additional development projects in Spain. The company’s announcements reference the Valtreixal tin/tungsten project in northwestern Spain and the Los Santos Mine in western Spain as part of its broader mining portfolio. Almonty has also noted that, for the purposes of certain technical reporting standards, Sangdong is currently considered the only mineral project on a property that is material to the company, while it remains engaged in the operation and development of other mineral properties, including the Panasqueira Mine and the Sangdong Molybdenum Project.
Strategic focus on tungsten and critical minerals
Almonty repeatedly characterizes itself as a leading supplier of conflict-free tungsten, describing tungsten as a strategic metal that is critical to the defense and advanced technology sectors. Company statements emphasize that tungsten is essential for armor, munitions, and electronics manufacturing. Almonty highlights that its operations and projects are aligned with demand from Western allies that are focused on supply-chain security and defense readiness.
In several news releases, Almonty states that its flagship Sangdong Mine in South Korea is historically one of the world’s largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits and is expected, upon reaching full capacity, to supply a significant share of global non-China tungsten production. The company links this expected production profile to concerns about supply vulnerabilities, including export restrictions by China and defense procurement considerations in the United States and allied countries.
Almonty has also reported that it received U.S. Congressional recognition for its role in the U.S. critical minerals supply chain. A letter from the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, as described by the company, underscored the significance of the Sangdong Mine and referenced Almonty’s planned redomiciling to the United States. The company states that this redomiciling is expected to position Almonty as a U.S.-based company producing tungsten concentrates at commercial scale.
Capital markets profile and index inclusion
Almonty reports that it has undertaken several capital markets initiatives to support its growth plans. The company has announced a U.S. underwritten public offering of common shares, with proceeds intended primarily to fund the development of a tungsten oxide facility and for working capital and general corporate purposes. In connection with this offering, Almonty has filed a registration statement under the Canada/United States Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System and has applied to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker ALM.
To facilitate a potential Nasdaq listing, the company disclosed that it implemented a share consolidation on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every one and a half pre-consolidation shares, following shareholder approval. Almonty has also communicated that its stock was added to the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index, which the company describes as a benchmark for globally traded mining companies. According to Almonty, inclusion in this index reflects its profile in the global mining sector and the relevance of its tungsten-focused strategy.
Corporate governance, shareholder matters, and legal actions
Almonty’s public communications include details about shareholder meetings and corporate actions. The company has described a special meeting of shareholders held to consider amendments to the currency of exercise prices for certain warrants and CHESS Depositary Interest (CDI) options. These amendments were proposed to change exercise prices from U.S. dollars and Australian dollars to Canadian dollars, which Almonty identifies as its functional currency. The company explains that this change is intended to address accounting treatment of these instruments and reduce non-cash distortions in reported profit or loss.
Almonty has also disclosed the results of this special meeting, including shareholder approval of the amendments and the level of consent from holders of the affected warrants and CDI options. The company refers investors to its management information circular and related filings on SEDAR+ and EDGAR for full details of the resolutions and voting outcomes.
In addition, Almonty has reported that it commenced legal proceedings against Pure Tungsten Inc. in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List). The company states that this action seeks injunctive relief related to what it characterizes as materially false and misleading statements circulated by Pure Tungsten regarding Almonty, its Sangdong Mine, and the past involvement of an independent contractor. Almonty’s application requests, among other remedies, that Pure Tungsten and its representatives be restrained from publishing or disseminating false or unsupported statements concerning the company, its officers, and its mineral properties, and that corrective disclosures and retractions be made.
