Is a Western Tungsten Ecosystem Emerging? Almonty Industries vs China Tungsten – Does Rheinmetall Stand to Gain?
The supply of tungsten has become one of the most critical bottlenecks for Western security and high technology. The metal, which has the highest melting point of any element at 3,422°C, is simply irreplaceable in modern weapon systems, semiconductors, and technologies ranging from the energy transition to fusion energy. While the Chinese market leader, China Tungsten and Hightech Materials, continues to post impressive record figures, a turning point is unfolding behind the scenes: China is transforming from a dominant exporter to a strategic importer of tungsten concentrates. This development is forcing Western consumers like Rheinmetall to radically reevaluate their supply chains to avoid dependence on Beijing's export decisions. Almonty is stepping into this strategic vacuum; with the commissioning of the Sangdong mine in South Korea, it is becoming the new linchpin of a Western-oriented raw materials alliance. The current market situation makes it clear that the era of cheap and always-available tungsten from the Far East is over. This makes establishing self-sufficient supply chains in secure jurisdictions a top priority for Western governments. Almonty is likely to benefit. We compare this ambitious tungsten player with the Chinese market leader.

Almonty Industries: Tungsten Price at Record Levels, Signaling New Stock Highs
The price of tungsten has reached a new record high of over USD 3,200 per metric ton unit (MTU). Is this an overreaction or the new reality? Much points to a fundamentally changed long-term market situation with high prices for this critical raw material. Due to its unique properties, tungsten is an essential raw material for many industries, particularly the defense sector but also the semiconductor industry. Demand is rising dramatically, while supply cannot keep up. China dominates the market with an overwhelming 80% share, but a significant shift in favor of Western industrialized nations is underway. Almonty is emerging as the world's largest tungsten producer outside of China. Consequently, the company holds great geopolitical significance, which, despite its spectacular performance, has not yet been adequately reflected in the stock price.

NASDAQ Record, TUNGSTEN Record, MARATHON World Record – What Does This Mean for Almonty Industries?
Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe is making history. He ran the London Marathon in 1:59:30, setting a new world record. Even the NASDAQ 100 Index reached a new high of 27,314 points at one of the most fragile moments in the global economy, and the critical metal tungsten also set a new record at USD 3,320 per metric ton unit of APT. The world is in a time of maximum uncertainty, excessive debt, and aggressive leaders. Surprisingly, the stock market is joining in this frenzy; every day it goes higher, faster, further. Anyone who wants to make money must view the whole thing with an Olympic mindset: "Taking part is everything!" In the short term, even negative scenarios are likely being bought into, because after all, most market participants seem convinced that the Middle East conflict will soon end and the West will then usher in a new economic upswing with somewhat less political risk. One thing should be clear: Nothing works without critical metals! And that is what the record-breaking run at Almonty Industries stands for. Investors who do the math will quickly realize: Another doubling is on the horizon!

Tungsten Frenzy! Another Price Surge Possible - Why Almonty Industries Is Marching Higher Almost Unstoppably
Today's world, which is rapidly upgrading its technological and military capabilities at record speed, requires a critical chemical element that is indispensable. It is irreplaceable in many applications and was long overlooked. But that era is over, as it now sits at the core of global defense—and therefore power. Tungsten is the metal of superlatives, without which neither cutting-edge microchips nor the defense capabilities of the West would function. While China held the market in a stranglehold for decades, a new era is now emerging in which the cards are being completely reshuffled. One company stands at the forefront of this shift and is playing a key role in strengthening supply security for an entire hemisphere. This is also reflected in its share price. The stock of Almonty Industries recently climbed to a new all-time high; the chart speaks for itself, and investor enthusiasm is clearly building. Yet the story is far from over. This could be just the beginning of a monumental upward movement that extends well beyond previous expectations. Our report highlights a company that is far more than just a mining operation; it is a strategic anchor in an increasingly unstable world, positioned within a powerful trend that could continue to drive the stock higher.

The Pentagon, AI Giants, and Fusion Researchers All Need One Material – Demand Is Rising, and Almonty Industries Is Delivering
Artificial intelligence devours chips, nuclear fusion consumes extreme heat, and the semiconductor industry is grappling with physical limits. All three fields of the future have one thing in common: they require tungsten. The metal, known for its exceptional hardness and heat resistance, is used in semiconductor interconnects, high-performance electronics, and withstands the stresses of fusion reactors. Yet China controls around 83% of global supply and is restricting exports. This is precisely where an opportunity is emerging for Western producers. Industry experts warn that the metal is virtually irreplaceable. Almonty Industries has already set the course and is ramping up operations at the largest tungsten mine outside of China, located in South Korea. This is helping establish a backbone for Western supply.

Tungsten Alert: China Becomes an Importer and Almonty Shares Soar to All-Time High
Alert in the tungsten market! As demand rises for this metal, which is critical not only for defense and semiconductors, China is now becoming an importer as well. Yet China is already by far the largest producer. This is likely to pose even greater challenges for Western corporations. News from Japan and Korea points in this direction. The biggest beneficiary is Almonty Industries. With operational tungsten mines in Portugal and South Korea, and soon in the US as well, it is arguably the only major producer in the West. Analysts expect revenue and profits to surge. The stock is trading at an all-time high, but based on analysts' earnings expectations for 2027, it still does not appear to be overvalued. The chances of the rally continuing are good.

Tungsten in Focus: Almonty's Strategic Position and the Battle for Western Resource Sovereignty – Implications for SpaceX and Sandvik
Wars and the shifting of power blocs are driving major changes across many industries. Technological breakthroughs and visionary ideas are already beginning to take shape. In this context, the element tungsten is becoming increasingly important. With the highest melting point of any metal at 3,422 °C, a density nearly equal to that of gold, and exceptional hardness, this material is largely irreplaceable in metalworking, the defense industry, semiconductor manufacturing, and, more recently, nuclear fusion. For a long time, the global market for tungsten was dominated by China, which controlled over 80% of mine production and nearly 70% of processing capacity. But this era ended abruptly when the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced strict export controls on 25 strategic metals, including tungsten, in February of last year. At the same time, the so-called REEShore Act came into effect in the US, strictly prohibiting the use of Chinese tungsten in military equipment starting in 2027. In its report "Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025," the International Energy Agency (IEA) rightly emphasizes that it is crucial to closely monitor such concentrated supply chains for the sake of global security and defense capabilities.

Almonty Industries: Strategic Reassessment Opens Up Further Upside Potential
It is a good thing when a company has what many others want. This is particularly true for Almonty Industries. The US-based company produces the critical raw material tungsten, which is in high demand and irreplaceable across many industries due to its unique properties, such as extreme heat resistance and the ability to withstand enormous pressure. Demand is rising enormously, particularly in the defense industry. Almonty is set to become the largest tungsten producer outside of China in the foreseeable future. Its main production site in Sangdong, South Korea, was designed to generate high margins even in a low-price environment of USD 350 per metric ton unit (MTU). The price currently stands at USD 3,000 per MTU. Analysts are factoring in only a fraction of that. Given the fundamentally changed market conditions, a revaluation of the stock will begin, taking into account the new reality and the company's geopolitical significance.
