Tungsten Power from Sangdong: Almonty's Path to Greater Western Independence in Critical Raw Materials
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.

Over 100% in an epic tungsten rally! Revenue and profits are exploding at Almonty Industries!
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.

Almonty Industries: Analyst price targets continue to rise - Now as high as USD 25.80. What is behind the new targets
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.

Scarcity drives prices – Market turbulence continues! Almonty, Shell, and BP are the winners in the current situation
Recent developments in the Middle East have put the commodity markets under considerable strain. Within a short period, the price of oil climbed to more than USD 115 per barrel, reaching a level not seen for several years. This movement is primarily driven by increasing risks to global energy trade following the further escalation of the situation in the Persian Gulf. Particular focus is on the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy transport routes. Around 20% of internationally traded crude oil passes through this strait every day, meaning that any disruption immediately affects prices and supply expectations. Yesterday, US President Donald Trump issued a clear warning to Iran not to disrupt international trade routes. Within four hours, the price of oil plummeted by USD 30. Scarcity, yes – volatility, extreme! The same applies to tungsten prices, which have risen by a further 100% since the beginning of the year. We take a closer look.

Almonty Industries, Glencore, Rio Tinto – The battle for critical raw materials intensifies
The global commodities landscape is approaching a turning point. Export restrictions, geopolitical tensions, and surging demand from the defense sector, the energy transition, and high-tech industries are driving up the prices of strategic metals. Particularly critical raw materials are coming under increasing pressure, while important producing countries are tightening control over their supply chains. Analysts are already talking about a structural revaluation of entire raw materials markets. At the same time, selected producers and trading groups are benefiting from rising prices, new projects, and strategic alliances along the supply chains. For investors, this means that companies that secure access to scarce metals and could play a key role in the new raw materials order are coming into focus.

900% price increase and only a P/E ratio of 10! Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and Almonty Industries in focus
Can a stock still be cheap after a 900% increase in 12 months? Looking at the current analyst estimates for Almonty Industries, the answer is "yes." Analysts are therefore raising their price target significantly and recommending the tungsten producer as a "Buy". They expect revenue and profits to explode starting this year. In contrast, investors in Rheinmetall and Hensoldt are slowly losing faith in the supercycle. Both stocks are languishing this year. Even the war in the Middle East is unable to give defense stocks a boost. Yet Rheinmetall has exactly the products in its portfolio that are so urgently needed: relatively inexpensive drone defense systems. The US is slowly running out of expensive interceptor missiles. Hensoldt recently reported a record order backlog, but investors are disappointed with revenue and profit growth. Could a takeover provide new momentum for the stock?

Between market panic and profit: What Almonty has in common with Apple and IBM
The war in Iran has long since become a conflagration in the Middle East, including energy price shocks. Trading on Tuesday was particularly typical of this market environment. The day perfectly reflects the psychological state of market participants. Driven by horror stories from the Middle East and concerns about a global energy crisis, many stocks experienced drastic fluctuations. But while many stocks are still under pressure, Almonty's share price revealed a pattern that experienced market participants interpret as a sign of relative strength. After initially falling sharply, the stock stabilized rapidly, pushing the price back up significantly before the close of trading. In periods of extreme uncertainty, investors are not looking for short-term speculation, but rather for companies with a unique market position, a crisis-proof margin structure, and operating potential based on irreplaceable resources. We draw historical comparisons and explain that even heavyweights such as IBM and Apple have had to weather headwinds in the past.

The Iran War is driving the war economy – Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and the RENK Group under scrutiny
The Iran war is causing oil prices to skyrocket, supply chains to break down, and the global order to falter. While shockwaves are rippling through the energy markets, a contrary movement is emerging on the stock market. Investors are flocking to the winners of this new era. Not only is demand for state-of-the-art defense technology being reignited, but the battle for strategic raw materials such as tungsten, which is essential for armor and guided missiles, has also flared up again. In this environment, three companies at the heart of this development are coming into focus: tungsten supplier Almonty Industries, systems giant Rheinmetall, and drive specialist RENK Group.

The arms build-up accelerates – Iran, Israel, and the US escalate! Critical metals remain in focus with Almonty, Thales, and Hensoldt
US President Donald Trump has made the nuclear debate with Iran a top priority. After years of living with what it views as a significant threat from the Iranian regime, Israel is now aligning its strategic interests more closely with Western partners. Discussions increasingly revolve around containing Iran's influence and limiting its military capabilities. Whether this will be so easy is doubtful, as the Revolutionary Guards have developed into a powerful force over the last 10 years, and Russia is also likely to appear on the horizon as a friend of the Iranians. For financial markets, this constellation implies renewed uncertainty and elevated volatility. Historically, such phases have tended to benefit defense and armaments companies. For marathon runner Almonty Industries, the environment appears particularly favorable: geopolitical tensions, rising tungsten prices, and governments under pressure to secure strategic raw materials are reinforcing the investment case. The momentum in defense and critical metals markets continues.
