The company has received a formal letter of recognition that acknowledges Allied's leadership role in re-establishing tungsten production in Portugal -- a milestone step toward strengthening Europe's independence in critical raw materials. Tungsten is indispensable to modern defence, aerospace and high performance manufacturing, and Allied's Borralha and Vila Verde projects position Portugal at the centre of Europe's mission to secure its own supply under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act.

This acknowledgement means the following:

• It provides an expedited pathway for governmental support and funding mechanisms;
• It enhances the company's credibility and political alignment with local and national authorities;

"This recognition by idD Portugal Defence underscores Allied's emergence as a strategic partner in Europe's industrial and defence sovereignty," commented Joao Barros, president and chief operating officer of Allied. "We are honoured that the Portuguese government recognizes Borralha's strategic contribution to the defence technological and industrial base. As Borralha advances through its environmental impact assessment process, we are deepening collaboration with government stakeholders to align our development path with national priorities and pursue funding and partnership opportunities."

Located in northern Portugal, Borralha is one of Europe's most significant historic tungsten districts, now being revitalized by Allied using modern exploration techniques and environmentally responsible practices. Together with Vila Verde, it forms the cornerstone of Allied's strategic tungsten supply initiative -- a program designed to rebuild Europe's tungsten production capacity for defence, aerospace and green technology applications.

The idD Portugal Defence letter marks a major validation of Borralha's strategic importance and a strong signal of continued collaboration between Allied and Portugal's defence and industrial leadership.
