Under the stewardship of its experienced board of directors and management, the Company achieved a series of significant milestones in 2025, including: The commencement of active mining operations at the Company’s flagship Sangdong Tungsten Mine, which is expected to become one of the largest and longest-life tungsten mines outside of China; The initiation of large-scale drilling programs at the Company’s Sangdong Molybdenum Project in South Korea and its Panasqueira Mine in Portugal; A successful US$90 million initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as well as a successful US$129 million follow-on public offering in December 2025; The strategic establishment of the Company’s corporate headquarters in the United States; The successful acquisition of 100% ownership of the Gentung Browns Lake Tungsten Project in Beaverhead County, Montana, extending the Company’s geographic footprint into North America; The addition of two highly experienced independent directors to the board and several highly qualified executives to the Company’s senior management team, ensuring that the board and management team are well positioned to oversee the next phase of the Company’s growth.

“These accomplishments are a result of the strategic direction set by the board and executed by senior management resulting in strong momentum for Almonty as it scales to meet surging global demand for tungsten as the industry leader.”

“As Almonty continues to grow in prominence, the board is committed to proactively ensuring that the Company’s corporate governance framework and board composition reflect the ambition and sophistication of its business and the expectations of our shareholders. The board is committed to a thoughtful approach to its governance maturation through evolving its independence profile focused on necessary skills and diversity that reflect the expectations of our expanding stakeholder base, growing prominence in U.S. capital markets, and the heightened expectations that come with being a global industry leader.”
