Almonty Industries Commences Operations at Sangdong Tungsten Mine in South Korea

Almonty Industries has officially started operations at the Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea, marking a significant milestone in the global tungsten supply chain and in the company’s long-term growth strategy.

The Sangdong mine, one of the largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits outside China, is expected to play a critical role in strengthening supply security for this strategic metal, which is widely used in defence, electronics, automotive, and advanced manufacturing sectors. With operations now underway, the project moves from development into production, positioning Almonty as a key non-Chinese supplier of tungsten.

Almonty stated that the commencement of operations reflects years of investment in mine development, infrastructure, and processing capabilities. The company has also highlighted its focus on sustainable mining practices, workforce safety, and compliance with South Korean regulatory standards.

The start of production at Sangdong is expected to contribute to local economic development through job creation and regional investment, while also supporting global efforts to diversify critical mineral supply chains.
