Almonty Industries – The next 100% opportunity with strategic metals
Things continue to go well for Almonty Industries (TSX: AII; WKN: A1JSSD; ISIN: CA0203981034; EUR 1.59). The stock is already one of the best commodity stocks for 2025. The market is gradually realizing that this story could be worth billions. The trade dispute between the US and many nations is proving to be a death blow for Western industries, especially those in China. In response to announced trade tariffs of over 100%, the leadership in Beijing has imposed export restrictions on strategic metals. Tungsten is one of the most critical metals, essential for high-tech and defense applications. Deposits and producers are few and far between, with a good 70% of supply coming from China. Almonty Industries is set to start production in South Korea in 2025, and US producers are already securing valuable tungsten. A jump in valuation is on the cards!

Almonty: Why tungsten is the most critical of all metals
Tungsten producer Almonty Industries shares are among this year's high flyers - rising from EUR 0.61 to EUR 1.56. There are many reasons for this: the imminent opening of Almonty's Sangdong mine in South Korea comes at a time of extreme geopolitical volatility, including a tariff and raw materials war and the gradual erosion of NATO. However, there are further reasons why tungsten is currently in such high demand. What role does China play in this, and do stocks like Almonty still hold more upside potential?

Out of RENK and Co. and into Almonty shares? China's sharpest sword! Another 100% price gain with the tungsten high-flyer?
"Restrictions on the export of rare earths are the sharpest sword China can wield," Harald Elsner of the German Raw Materials Agency told FAZ. Reserves are likely to last only a few weeks for German industry. While RENK, KNDS, and Co. are trembling in the face of export restrictions, Almonty's strategic importance for the Western defense industry and beyond is becoming increasingly clear. Like defense stocks, the tungsten producer's share price has more than doubled in the current year. However, the valuation remains low, and analysts see more than 100% upside potential. There are good reasons why the tungsten stock rocket could ignite the next stage as early as tomorrow.

Almonty Industries - Value drivers: NASDAQ listing and takeover candidate
In a world where geopolitical tensions are rising, and critical raw materials are being used as strategic weapons, investors are faced with an important question: Who will deliver what is needed to secure progress? One answer to this question will be Almonty Industries – an emerging tungsten producer seen not only as a bulwark against Chinese dominance but also as a hot candidate for a NASDAQ listing. For savvy investors, this is a rare opportunity to profit early from a geopolitically driven commodity hype. Speaking to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) newspaper on April 25, 2025, p. 24, CEO Lewis Black stated: "I realize that I will have to tell many interested parties that I cannot supply them immediately." Will this announcement calm market participants in panic mode? That remains to be seen. What will a global corporation do when it urgently needs tungsten to complete its products? Investors can now position themselves – with good reason. More on this in the report.

Almonty Industries - Trade restrictions are not always a bad thing; they can also represent a real opportunity
Trade restrictions, particularly China's recent export restrictions on critical metals and rare earths, have put pressure on the global economy. According to a report by Reuters, China has warned South Korean companies against supplying products containing Chinese rare earth minerals to US defense companies. However, these developments open up opportunities for Western companies like Almonty Industries to strengthen their security of supply and position themselves as reliable partners in critical supply chains. Investors looking for long-term, stable investment options, in particular, should take a closer look at the potential of Almonty Industries.

Almonty Industries – Escalation level raised
The trade war between the US and China reached a new level last week. On "Liberation Day", US President Trump raised punitive tariffs to an incredible 125%, prompting China to respond with export controls on rare earth metals that are essential for the manufacture of electric motors, batteries, and magnets, as well as for the defense industry. Similar restrictions on gallium, germanium, and tungsten have also been in place since the end of last year. At least in the case of tungsten, which is needed for use in armor-piercing ammunition, for example, there are signs of easing tensions with the start of production at the Sangdong mine in South Korea. The operating company's share price, Almonty Industries, has partially met expectations in recent months, but analysts believe it still holds significant upside potential.

Tungsten supply remains challenging: Almonty Industries strategically well-positioned
For years, observers have been calling for Europe to develop its own dedicated raw materials strategy. It has been clear for more than a decade that Germany's industry, in particular, needs security of supply. However, instead of securing tangible ownership or at least reliable partnerships, the focus has long been on fair-weather diplomacy and the "principle of hope". With the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the EU aims to mine at least 10% of its required strategic raw materials domestically by 2030. Furthermore, 40% of this is to be processed within the community. For Lewis Black, CEO of tungsten and molybdenum producer Almonty Industries, these are steps in the right direction. But are they coming too late?

Winners in the tariff quake: Renk, Nel ASA, Almonty – China attacks US defense industry
The tariff quake on the stock markets continued yesterday. For companies like Nike and the German automotive industry, the extent of the consequences is still unclear. However, there may also be winners. Tungsten producer Almonty emphasized yesterday that its defense-critical raw material is exempt from tariffs. In addition, China is tightening its controls on the export of critical raw materials. This makes Almonty shares even more attractive. Is a NASDAQ listing the next surprise? The effects of the tariffs are also likely to be manageable for RENK. The transmission manufacturer for tanks and other military vehicles has excellent business prospects here in Europe. The share was again recommended as a "Buy". Hydrogen could also benefit, as it helps diversify Europe's energy supply. Can Nel ASA benefit from this? A study shows that more investment in electrolysis capacity is needed in Europe.

Tungsten shortage as a goldmine: Why Almonty Industries is becoming a key player for NATO countries
As early as the beginning of December 2024, there were initial indications that China would impose certain restrictions on its tungsten exports. After the Chinese government further tightened export control on tungsten and molybdenum in early February 2025, Western industries have been increasingly seeking reliable alternatives. While Beijing leverages its dominance in critical metals as a geopolitical lever, companies like Almonty Industries are benefiting by building independent supply chains. With strategic partnerships, a relocation of its headquarters to the US, and the revival of one of South Korea's largest tungsten mines, the Company is positioning itself as a key player in a market characterized by scarcity and increasing demand.

Two purchases in just a few days - what is behind Lewis Black's confidence in his own company, and why could tungsten soon become the most strategically important metal in the Western world?
