Almonty Industries Commences Processing Operations At Sangdong Mine Marking Transition to Saleable Tungsten Concentrate Production Almonty Industries Inc. announced the commencement of processing plant throughput operations at its Sangdong Mine in Gangwon Province, South Korea. During June 2026, the Company began feeding stockpiled run-of-mine ore through its newly commissioned processing plant to produce saleable tungsten concentrate — a pivotal milestone marking Sangdong’s transition from mine development into active, revenue-generating operations. Almonty exited the first quarter of 2026 with approximately 120,000 tonnes of ore stockpiled at an average grade of 0.24% tungsten trioxide (“WO3”). During the second quarter of 2026, the Company mined an additional approximately 19,700 tonnes of development ore at an average grade of 0.35% WO3, while advancing 214.6 meters of underground development, primarily along the Main Vein. Together, this brings total stockpiled ore to approximately 139,700 tonnes at a blended grade of approximately 0.25% WO3 ahead of the plant’s commissioning. They are utilizing lower-grade throughput during the initial ramp-up phase and anticipate higher grades as the process advances, with Sangdong's low-grade ore approximately three times higher than that of their Panasqueira mine in Portugal. With throughput now underway, stockpiled ore is being introduced during the initial commissioning phase to optimize ore blending and maintain the consistent feed quality the plant requires as the operation ramps up. The Sangdong Mine processing plant is designed to upgrade run-of-mine ore into a high-purity tungsten concentrate. At prevailing tungsten prices, the contained tungsten in the current stockpile represents approximately 2.6 months of Phase I throughput feed with an illustrative gross in-process value of approximately USD 68 million.

Almonty Industries Inc. Provides Update On Large-Scale Drilling Program At Sangdong Molybdenum Project Almonty Industries Inc. announced an update on its large-scale drilling program at the Sangdong Molybdenum Project adjacent to Almonty’s Sangdong Mine in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, South Korea, to confirm molybdenum resources ahead of future project development. Molybdenum is a strategic metal that can significantly enhance heat and corrosion resistance when added in small amounts to steel or specialty alloys. It is widely used in high-temperature and high-pressure industries such as aerospace, defense, nuclear energy, and petrochemicals. More recently, demand has expanded into next-generation industries including semiconductors and renewable energy. Additionally, the spot price of molybdenum has increased by approximately 23.5% over the past year to CNY 592.34/Kg. The drilling program re-examines mineralized structures identified in historical drill holes and also is aimed at enhancing resource categorization. Almonty is accelerating its molybdenum drilling campaign to address South Korea’s molybdenum supply shortage, which has recently reached a crisis level. With the national stockpile falling short, the South Korean government has issued public notices urging private companies to secure molybdenum. To date, approximately 37% of the 26 planned drill holes, which will cover approximately 12,000 meters in total, have been drilled. The assays received thus far have grades similar to those of historical drill holes. Once the full extent of the molybdenum ore body at Sangdong is confirmed, Almonty plans to begin mining without delay. The mineralized area is extensive, with multiple high-grade intersections. The drilling program is aimed at confirming molybdenum resources ahead of future project development. The spot price of molybdenum has increased by approximately 23.5% over the past year to CNY 592.34/Kg. The Company remains engaged in the operation and development of other mineral properties, including the Sangdong Molybdenum Project. For the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules, the information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results is based on and fairly represents information compiled by Mr. Adam Wheeler, who is an independent self-employed mining consultant and is not a permanent employee of Almonty. Mr. Wheeler is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (a Recognized Professional Organisation included in a list promulgated from time to time) and has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity being undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code. Mr. Wheeler consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears. AII

Almonty Industries Sets Revenue Record as Sangdong Mine Launches and US$700 Million Funding Secured Almonty Industries reported a 221% year-over-year revenue increase in Q1 2026, supported by record-high tungsten prices and contributions from its Panasqueira mine in Portugal.
The Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea has moved into commercial operations, with the company aiming for Sangdong to support approximately 40% of global ex-China tungsten supply by late 2027.
The company closed an oversubscribed US$700 million offering of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2031, with proceeds earmarked for debt refinancing, Sangdong development, working capital, and potential acquisitions, along with capped call transactions to manage future dilution.
The combination of record quarterly revenue, Sangdong’s transition to commercial status, and fresh long-term funding positions Almonty as a key tungsten supplier outside China with a clearer path to scaling production and securing off-take demand.
Investors may wish to monitor execution on the Sangdong ramp-up, the impact of convertible notes on future equity dilution, and how effectively new capital is deployed into additional projects or acquisitions.
