Will Supply Deals Change Almonty Industries Stock Narrative

• Almonty Industries entered a multi-year take-or-pay tungsten concentrate supply agreement with Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten AG for tailings retreatment at the Los Santos Mine in Spain and also formed a joint venture with the Government of Rwanda, which contributed the Shyorongi concession and a mobile processing license for a 25% stake in Almonty Rwanda.
• These moves expand Almonty Industries' tungsten feed sources across Europe and Africa using tailings retreatment and small-scale Rwandan supply, while aligning with upcoming United States rules that increase the importance of documented non-Chinese tungsten origin for defense procurement.
• We will now look at how Almonty Industries' investment narrative could be affected by these new tungsten supply and recycling agreements.
