Almonty Industries Update Note March 2026
Highlights from the report include:
- 2026 Outlook and Key Growth Milestones Highlight Transition Towards Scaled Production and Multi-Asset Expansion Amid Record Tungsten Prices - Looking ahead to 2026, Almonty's strategic focus is on advancing the Sangdong Tungsten Mine toward the commencement of the planned Phase II expansion, expected to be completed in 2027. Phase II is designed to lift throughput capacity to approximately 1.2 million tonnes per annum, positioning Sangdong to potentially produce more than 460,000 MTUs annually, materially increasing Almonty's global tungsten output and revenue base at a time when APT benchmark prices have reached record levels of approximately $2,500/MTU. In parallel, the Company's large-scale drilling program at the Panasqueira Mine is expected to define the mine plan for development into Level 4, supporting higher-grade ore access, a potential increase in annual production to approximately 124,000 MTUs, and an extension of mine life. Almonty continues to advance the Sangdong Molybdenum Project, one of the highest-grade molybdenum deposits globally at 0.26% MoS₂, toward reserve definition and development planning, while targeting production readiness at the Gentung Browns Lake Project in Montana by the second half of 2026. Beyond these core projects, management indicated that 2026 will also be a year of continued evaluation of additional tungsten opportunities, supported by its long-standing relationships with governments and strategic customers seeking secure, non-China supply sources.
- Fourth Quarter 2025 and Subsequent Operational Highlights Reflect Transition to Production, Strengthen Balance Sheet, and Expand Strategic Footprint Across Key Markets: Almonty delivered a series of key operational and strategic milestones during the fourth quarter of 2025 and the subsequent period, reflecting its transition from development to production and its expanding role within Western critical minerals supply chains. The Company marked the completion of the nearly three-year development of the Sangdong Tungsten Mine with a formal commissioning ceremony in March 2026, following the earlier milestone in December 2025 when the first truckload of ore was delivered to the ROM pad, signaling the shift to active mining operations. Financially, Almonty significantly strengthened its liquidity position through a US$129.4 million public offering in December 2025, increasing total cash and cash equivalents to $268.4 million as of year-end, providing substantial funding for ongoing ramp-up and growth initiatives. Strategically, the Company expanded its asset base with the acquisition of the Gentung Tungsten Project in Montana, adding a near-term U.S. production asset aligned with domestic supply chain priorities. In parallel, Almonty enhanced its operational and strategic leadership through the appointment of Brigadier General (Ret.) Steven L. Allen, as Chief Operating Officer, focused on optimizing global tungsten deliveries and advancing key development projects, followed by the appointment of Guillaume Wiesenbach de Lamaziere, CFA, as Chief Development Officer to lead corporate development strategy.
- Valuation - Since our initiation, tungsten prices have increased approximately sixfold to more than $2,500/MTU, reflecting a structurally tighter supply environment driven by China's export restrictions and rising strategic demand for critical minerals. This dynamic is further supported by geopolitical tensions, including the Israel–U.S.–Iran conflict, which is likely to elevate defense-related tungsten consumption and exacerbate supply constraints. In parallel, Almonty's Sangdong Mine has transitioned into the commercialization phase, significantly reducing development and execution risk while improving long-term production and cash flow visibility. The convergence of structurally higher commodity prices and meaningful asset-level de-risking supports a lower perceived risk profile for the Company. Accordingly, we reduce our discount rate by 100 bps to 7.0%, reflecting enhanced pricing power, reduced project uncertainty, and Almonty's increasingly strategic role in the global tungsten supply chain. Additionally, we have increased our near-term tungsten APT price forecasts to $2,275 and $2,160 for 2026E and 2027E, respectively, which materially lifts our revenue and cash flow projections. Incorporating these updated assumptions, along with the latest financial results and share count, into our model, we derive a revised illustrative valuation of $27.00 per share, contingent upon successful execution by the Company.
