Tungsten Gave Back Most of Its 2026 Rally. The Pentagon’s January Deadline Stayed Put.

$ALMPress releaseOct 20, 2026, 8:30 AM ETRead the release

This is a paid investor-awareness commentary funded by Western Star Resources that recaps tungsten-sector news; Almonty (ALM) is mentioned among five profiled companies with no new company-specific disclosure. For ALM, the piece restates that its Sangdong processing plant in South Korea received final operational certification on September 22 and produced its first tungsten concentrate in 33 years, with Phase II targeted for 2027 at up to 1.2 million tonnes per annum. The broader framing — a ~69% drop in Chinese APT prices and the unchanged January 1, 2027 DFARS sourcing ban on Chinese, Russian, North Korean and Iranian tungsten — is sector context, not new news for Almonty.
