Almonty Industries ( (TSE:AII) ) has shared an announcement.

On March 16, 2026, Almonty Industries announced it has completed Phase 1 commissioning of its Sangdong Tungsten Mine in South Korea, returning the historic operation to production after more than 30 years. The newly built processing plant is now producing and is designed to treat about 640,000 tonnes of ore annually, yielding roughly 2,300 tonnes of tungsten concentrate, with a formal commissioning ceremony slated for March 17, 2026.

The company has invested more than $100 million since acquiring Sangdong in 2015, redeveloping it as a modern underground mine with a mine life exceeding 45 years and an average grade around three times the global norm. At full capacity, including a Phase 2 expansion targeted for 2027, Sangdong is expected to supply about 40% of global tungsten demand outside China, bolstering Almonty’s strategic role in diversifying critical mineral supply chains for the U.S. and its allies as they seek non-China sources for defense procurement and resource security.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:AII) stock is a Buy with a C$25.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Almonty Industries stock, see the TSE:AII Stock Forecast page.
