About Almonty
The principal business of Toronto, Canada-based Almonty Industries Inc.

Los Santos Mine in western Spain, its Wolfram Camp Mine in north
Queensland, Australia and its Panasqueira mine in Portugal as well as
the development of the Sangdong tungsten mine in Gangwon Province, Korea
and the Valtreixal tin/tungsten project in north western Spain. The Los
Santos Mine was acquired by Almonty in September 2011 and is located
approximately 50 kilometres from Salamanca in western Spain and produces
tungsten concentrate. The Wolfram Camp Mine was acquired by Almonty in
September 2014 and is located approximately 130 kilometres west of
Cairns in northern Queensland, Australia and produces tungsten and
molybdenum concentrate. The Panasqueira mine, which has been in
production since 1896, is located approximately 260 kilometres northeast
of Lisbon, Portugal, was acquired in January 2016 and produces tungsten
concentrate. The Sangdong mine, which was historically one of the
largest tungsten mines in the world and one of the few long-life,
high-grade tungsten deposits outside of China, was acquired in September
2015 through the acquisition of a 100% interest in Woulfe Mining Corp.
Almonty also has an option to acquire a 100% ownership interest in the
Valtreixal tin-tungsten project in northwestern Spain. Further
