Almonty Industries has received final certification to commercially operate its Sangdong processing plant in South Korea, enabling the production and sale of tungsten concentrate. The facility's output is largely contracted through a 21-year agreement covering more than 90% of Phase I production, addressing critical supply chain needs amid tightening Chinese control on tungsten.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have a reliable Western source of tungsten concentrate certified for commercial operation, cutting through Chinese supply dominance and opening access to long-term contracts with major industrial buyers. Start planning to engage with the emerging non-China supply chain where scale and certification matter most.
