On March 17th, 2026, Almonty hosted a formal commissioning
ceremony at its Sangdong Tungsten Mine in Gangwon Province, South Korea, marking the nearly three year completion of development and
the transition of the project toward commercial operations. Sangdong is one of the largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits in the
world and is expected to become a key source of secure supply for Western industrial and defense supply chains. |

● |
In December 2025, Almonty achieved a pivotal milestone with
the delivery of the first truckload of ore to the Run-of-Mine (ROM) pad at the Sangdong Mine in South Korea, marking the transition from
mine development to active mining operations and the final step before commencement of commercial production. |

Fourth
Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results Highlights
Revenue
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by 39% to $8.7 million, as compared to $6.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. For
the full year ended December 31, 2025, revenue increased by 13% to $32.5 million, as compared to $28.8 million in the prior year. The
increase was driven by a significant increase in the spot price of tungsten APT, with the trailing twelve-month average APT price increasing
534% to US$2,250 per MTU as of March 13, 2026.
General
and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $9.4 million, as compared to $1.8 million in the same year-ago quarter.
For the full year ended December 31, 2025, general & administrative expenses totaled $20.5 million, as compared to $6.2 million in
the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to additional legal fees and costs incurred in connection with ongoing corporate
and regulatory activities, including costs associated with the December 2025 public offering, the Company’s special meeting held
on September 29, 2025 and the Company’s proposed U.S. domestication process.
Net
loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $102.3 million, as compared to a loss of $5.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. For the full
year ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $161.9 million, as compared to a loss of $16.3 million in the prior year. The change was primarily
attributable to a non-cash loss of $87.3 million on the revaluation of embedded derivative liabilities associated with convertible debentures
taken in the fourth quarter of 2025, which was driven by the significant appreciation in Almonty’s share price during the year
from C$1.36 at December 31, 2024 to C$12.07 at December 31, 2025. This non-cash accounting charge does not impact the Company’s
operating performance, cash flow, or liquidity position.
Adjusted
EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, was ($6.2) million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to ($2.0) million in the same year-ago quarter.
For the full year ended December 31, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was ($17.1) million, as compared to ($3.1) million in the prior year.(1)
Cash
as of December 31, 2025 totaled $268.4 million, as compared to $7.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily a result
of the receipt of gross proceeds from two public offerings completed during 2025: the July 2025 Nasdaq IPO (US$90 million) and the December
2025 offering (US$129.4 million).
Note
on Non-Cash Items
As
Almonty has evolved from a junior mining company into a more established tungsten producer with listings across four international exchanges,
including the Nasdaq listing in July 2025, its financial reporting has necessarily become more complex and reflects the standards expected
of a larger and more broadly held public company. The non-cash fair value revaluation of derivative and warrant liabilities in particular
are a function of that transition and of the Company’s changing capital structure during the year.
While
these accounting impacts materially affected reported net income, they did not affect its cash position, liquidity, or the operational
progress the Company made across the business.
Management
Commentary
Lewis
Black, Chairman, President & CEO, commented: “The fourth quarter marked a defining milestone for Almonty with the delivery
of the first ore to the ROM pad at Sangdong, transitioning us from development into active mining operations at what we expect will become
one of the Western world’s largest tungsten mines. Coupled with a transformative year of capital markets activity that has strengthened
our balance sheet with over $268 million in cash, continued production from Panasqueira, and Sangdong advancing toward commissioning,
the Company believes it is well positioned for its next phase of growth.
“Looking
ahead, we are focused on completing commissioning at Sangdong and optimizing throughput to meet surging demand from Western governments
and defense customers seeking secure, long-term tungsten supply. With APT prices reaching record levels above US$2,200 per MTU and the
structural supply deficit expected to deepen, Almonty is poised to play a central role in reshaping allied tungsten trade flows for decades
to come.”
Brian
Fox, Chief Financial Officer, added: “Our fourth quarter results reflect the impact of significant non-cash accounting charges
driven by the appreciation in our share price during 2025, which required revaluation of certain financial instruments under IFRS. Excluding
these non-cash derivative revaluation charges, our operating results were consistent with expectations as the Panasqueira Mine continued
to deliver steady revenue growth supported by the strengthening APT price environment. Additionally, $3.1 million of revenue was deferred
to the first quarter of 2026 due to the timing of concentrate shipments, which we believe better reflects the underlying operating performance
of the quarter. These types of adjustments have been and continue to be seen across a broad section of companies and sectors as growth
and valuation typically increase with the transition from Junior to Mid Cap.”
About
Almonty
Almonty
(Nasdaq: ALM) (TSX: AII) (ASX: AII) (Frankfurt: ALI1) is a leading supplier of conflict free tungsten – a strategic metal critical
to the defense and advanced technology sectors. As geopolitical tensions heighten, tungsten has become essential for armor, munitions,
and electronics manufacturing. Almonty’s flagship Sangdong Mine in South Korea, historically one of the world’s largest and
highest-grade tungsten deposits, is expected to supply a significant portion of global non-China tungsten production upon reaching full
capacity, directly addressing critical supply vulnerabilities highlighted by recent U.S. defense procurement bans and export restrictions
by China. With established operations in Portugal and additional projects in Spain and the United States, Almonty is strategically aligned
to meet rapidly rising demand from Western allies committed to supply-chain security and defense readiness. To learn more, please visit

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This
news release makes reference to the non-IFRS financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA”. Non-IFRS financial measures are not recognized
measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by
other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS financial measures by providing further
understanding of Almonty’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Almonty’s definitions of non-IFRS measures,
including the definition of the non-IFRS financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA” used in this news release, may not be the same
as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools
and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of Almonty’s financial information reported under IFRS.
Almonty uses non-IFRS financial measures, including “Adjusted EBITDA”, to provide investors with supplemental measures of
its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions, and thus highlight
trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. In this news release,
Almonty uses the non-IFRS financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA”. Almonty’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA in order to
evaluate its operating performance, by eliminating the impact of non-operational or non-cash items.
Almonty
believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation
of issuers. Almonty’s management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons
from period to period.

The
$126.7 million in non-cash revaluation charges comprises $97.4 million related to the fair value revaluation of embedded derivative liabilities
and $29.3 million related to the fair value revaluation of warrant liabilities. These charges arise from the application of IFRS fair
value accounting requirements to the Company’s outstanding convertible debt instruments and warrants, and reflect changes in the
Company’s share price, volatility assumptions, and other market-based inputs during the period.
