Los Santos Mine in western Spain and its Panasqueira mine in Portugal as
well as the development of its Sangdong tungsten mine in Gangwon

interest in Woulfe Mining Corp. Almonty owns 100% of the Valtreixal

About Almonty

Almonty (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) (ASX: AII) (FSE: ALI1) is a leading supplier of conflict free tungsten – a strategic metal critical to the defense and advanced technology sectors. As geopolitical tensions heighten, tungsten has become essential for armor, munitions, and electronics manufacturing. Almonty’s flagship Sangdong Tungsten Mine in South Korea, historically one of the world’s largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits, is expected to supply over 80% of global non-China tungsten production upon reaching full capacity, directly addressing critical supply vulnerabilities highlighted by recent U.S. defense procurement bans and export restrictions by China. With established operations in Portugal and additional projects in Spain, Almonty is strategically aligned to meet rapidly rising demand from Western allies committed to supply-chain security and defense readiness.
