Almonty Industries: The Tungsten Dominator of the West

Whether in golf clubs, X-ray machines, saw blades, or Abrams tanks, tungsten is ubiquitous—and virtually irreplaceable. As a result, this strategic metal sits at the intersection of industrial demand and geopolitics. China controls around 80% of global supply; together with Russia and North Korea, this dominance rises to around 95%. In an increasingly polarized world, tungsten has effectively become a strategic asset. Almonty Industries is positioning itself as a key supplier for the Western alliance, having recently ramped up production at its flagship mine in South Korea while pursuing an ambitious global expansion strategy. The recent pullback in the stock may offer a compelling entry point for strategic investors.

Defense Industry Under Stress: Bottlenecks at Rheinmetall and Lockheed – Almonty Industries Stands to Reap the Benefits

The war in the Middle East is exposing the vulnerability of the global security architecture. While the US-led coalition's military operations against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury, continue, US President Donald Trump's erratic communication is causing extreme uncertainty among military planners. In rapid succession, reports from the White House oscillate between triumphant declarations of victory, the announcement of American ground troops, and, shortly thereafter, the prospect of peace negotiations. This unpredictability collides with an alarming reality: even the arsenals of the world's greatest military power are emptying at a rapid pace. The massive use of precision weapons starkly reveals that the global arms industry is simply not equipped for intense wars of attrition or a further escalation of global tensions following the collapse of the existing world order. The real bottleneck in the arms industry is not a lack of government budgets, but the critical raw materials at the beginning of the supply chain. As a result, the market for tungsten and the producer Almonty Industries are coming into focus for investors. A unique opportunity beckons.

Tungsten prices have risen nearly 20% in just one week. The situation surrounding this metal, which is critical not only for ammunition production, continues to worsen. "Reuters" recently reported on noticeably low inventory levels in the US. On "Bloomberg," an expert speaks of an almost unprecedented market development. The biggest beneficiary is Almonty Industries. Analysts see over 50% upside potential. According to their estimates, the P/E ratio for 2027 is around 5. Almonty is expected to produce 267,537 metric tons this year alone. Costs are expected to be USD 266 per MTU. On the Rotterdam stock exchange, the current price is USD 2,800 per MTU.

For decades, tungsten was a blind spot in commodity markets - technically indispensable, yet strategically overlooked. That perception is now shifting rapidly. As Western economies reassess their dependence on Chinese supply chains for defense and high-tech applications, Almonty Industries is transitioning from developer to producer at its Sangdong project in South Korea. What follows is not merely the start of production, but a structurally important addition to Western supply security.

Sharp Corrections for the DAX, NASDAQ, BTC, Gold, and Silver – But Almonty Industries Is Showing Its Strength!

17% of Qatar's LPG capacity was destroyed last week, with damage expected to last 2 to 3 years. What madness! Iran is targeting critical infrastructure of Western allies in response to Israeli-American aggression. This brings back the horror scenarios from the COVID-19 pandemic, as we are likely to witness the collapse of global supply chains - at least for a few months. For the capital markets, this means constant stress mode, with high volatility and a downward trend. Even safe havens like gold and silver are under massive selling pressure - presumably due to liquidity shortages. One commodity, however, is trending from one high to the next: tungsten. This critically important metal for the defense industry has reached prices of up to USD 2,800 per metric ton unit (MTU). One company particularly exposed to this trend is Almonty Industries, already up over 2,000% in the last 18 months. What is next here?

  • CriticalMetals

Tungsten is crucial to the security of modern defense systems and the future of high technology. This raw material is a strategic key where China has held almost all the cards until now. But with the commissioning of the legendary Sangdong mine in South Korea, Almonty Industries has now opened a new chapter in industrial history. After more than 30 years of inactivity, ore is once again flowing from one of the richest deposits on Earth. This project means far more than just mining and tungsten extraction. It marks the beginning of independence and the establishment of a strategic alliance with the West. The enormous market potential is prompting analysts to raise their price targets and making Almonty the new lifeline for Western industries. It is the success story of an impressive company that has permanently shifted, and continues to shift, the global balance of power in the raw materials sector.

Is tungsten the new precious metal? In terms of price performance, this critical raw material is easily outshining gold and silver. The price of the metal - coveted by governments, defense contractors, tech companies, and many others - has surged by more than 100% this year alone. Prices have now climbed to over USD 2,200 per MTU, compared to below USD 400 a year ago. The biggest beneficiary of this epic rally is Almonty Industries. The tungsten producer invested early in new mines and is now ramping up production. With the new mine in South Korea, the company will soon be able to cover around 40% of global demand outside of China. The company released an update yesterday, and analysts expect a surge in both revenue and profits.

Ammunition shortages pressure the defense industry: Opportunity for Almonty, challenges for General Dynamics and Rheinmetall

Our global security architecture has been undergoing significant disruptions for some time. The decades-long paradigm of the peace dividend, built on global supply chains and reduced stockpiles, has largely collapsed. The defense industry now faces the challenge of establishing reliable supply chains for critical raw materials in order to meet the growing demand for artillery ammunition and heavy weapon systems. Another driver is the war in Iran. According to a report by the Financial Times, the conflict has decimated US ammunition stockpiles to such an extent that the Pentagon is already warning of shortages of certain munitions. To replenish these inventories, the US government is planning a supplemental budget of around USD 50 billion. In this environment, the US defense contractor General Dynamics is helping maintain the operational readiness of NATO partners through production of ammunition, while Rheinmetall, as a European systems provider, is also expanding its capacities. However, the crucial foundation for this production is the critical metal tungsten. The only significant Western supplier, Almonty Industries, therefore plays a key role - potentially opening up unique opportunities for investors.

It does not happen often that a commodity market that has remained stable for decades suddenly becomes fundamentally disrupted. Yet that is exactly what we are currently witnessing in the tungsten right now. China is curbing exports, the US Department of Defense is banning Chinese tungsten starting in 2027, and prices are surging to historic highs. Amid this perfect storm stands a company that has quietly and persistently been building a Western alternative for years: Almonty Industries. While the world searches for solutions, the Canadian producer has just started operations at its Sangdong mine in South Korea - at precisely the right time and in exactly the right place.
