Lewis Black, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Invites Eligible Canadian Shareholders to a Once-In-A-Lifetime Journey to the Heart of the Tungsten World

Article content

Nestled in the mountains of Gangwon Province, South Korea, the Sangdong Mine is not just a mining operation, it is a landmark in the history of critical minerals. Once the largest tungsten mine in the world, Sangdong lay dormant for decades before Almonty brought it back to life, transforming it into the centerpiece of a new era of Western supply chain independence. Today, it stands as one of the most strategically significant mining assets on the planet.

Two winning shareholders will be flown to South Korea for an exclusive, fully hosted multi-night experience. From the moment they arrive, they will be immersed in the story of Almonty — touring the Sangdong Mine itself, seeing the scale and scope of an operation that is actively reshaping the global tungsten landscape, and gaining perspective on the mineral that underpins everything from armor-piercing munitions to semiconductors and surgical instruments. Following the Sangdong Mine tour, contest winners will explore the broader Yeongwoel County: the storied region that surrounds the mine and offers a window into the landscape, culture, and community intertwined with Almonty’s mission. The prize trip is anticipated to take place on or around late June to early July.

Management Commentary

Article content

Lewis Black, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Almonty, said: “The Sangdong Mine represents everything we have worked toward — years of conviction, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief that tungsten would one day be recognized as the critical backbone of Western defense and technology. To be able to invite our shareholders to witness this firsthand, to stand inside the mine that so many said could never be brought back to life, is a moment I do not take lightly. This trip is not simply a prize — it is a thank you. A deeply personal one. To every shareholder who has placed their trust in Almonty, I am profoundly grateful. But there is a special place in my heart for those who were with us from the very beginning — the ones who believed before the world was paying attention, who held on through the hard years, and who never stopped trusting in what we were building. You are as much a part of this story as the mine itself. We built this together, and it is only right that you see it.”
