VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Market Updates News Commentary - S&P Global estimates that tungsten mines outside China will deliver about 22,000 tonnes of contained WO3 in 2026, leaving a gap of roughly 21,000 tonnes against demand in those markets. The price signal arrived first: S&P, citing LSEG data, puts the delivered price of ammonium paratungstate (APT) at $83 per kilogram of WO3 in January and $340 in July, more than a fourfold increase in roughly six months. The supply response is slower, because much of what the West can realistically mine again sits in districts that were last worked when Washington was buying tungsten for war. Companies mentioned

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 1, 2026 /CNW/ -- U.S. Metal News News Commentary - The global tungsten market is projected to grow from approximately USD 6.66 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 9.62 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of about 9.6%, according to The Business Research Company. That forecast was built on steady industrial demand. What has happened to prices this year has been anything but steady, and it is pulling capital and crews back to tungsten ground in the United States that has not been explored with modern methods in decades.

Dear Fellow Shareholders, When I last wrote to you, I described our Sangdong Tungsten Mine ("Sangdong") as the foundation of our strategy to build a secure, Western-aligned tungsten supply for the United States and its allies. As announced last week, we have now produced the first bags of tungsten concentrate at Sangdong, ready for export. This is a defining moment for Almonty and for Western supply chains: tungsten mined and processed in an allied nation is now

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Canada News Group News Commentary - The global tungsten market is valued at approximately $6.66 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach roughly $9.62 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of about 9.6%, according to The Business Research Company. Demand for the metal runs through cutting tools, wear parts, defense alloys and electronics, while the supply that feeds it remains concentrated in a single country. That imbalance is pushing exploration dollars back toward historic Western tungsten districts, including several in British Columbia. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: GoldHaven

Issued on behalf of Western Star Resources Inc. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equity Insider News Commentary - Tungsten concentrate traded outside China was assessed by Fastmarkets at $750 to $850 per metric tonne unit at the start of 2026 and has held at $2,500 to $2,800 per unit since May 29. Inside China, concentrate prices have fallen by roughly half from their March peak. That split is the story of the year: the metal did not get scarce everywhere, it got scarce for everyone who cannot buy from China. The Business Research Company projects the global tungsten market to grow from about $6.66 billion in 2026 to about $9.62 billion by 2030, a compound

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 16, 2026 /CNW/ -- U.S. Metal News News Commentary - Tungsten concentrate, basis 50 to 70% WO3, cif global, was assessed by Fastmarkets at $750 to $850 per metric tonne unit at the start of 2026. Since May 29 it has held at $2,500 to $2,800 per mtu. The metal roughly tripled inside five months, and the reason is not demand. In December 2025 China said that only 15 firms would be authorized to export tungsten in 2026 and 2027, formalized through its dual-use items catalogue. The U.S. Geological Survey put Chinese mine output at 67,000 of the world's 85,000 tonnes in 2025, with the United States mining none, as it has every year since 2015. Everyone outside that list of fif

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 9, 2026 /CNW/ -- American News Group News Commentary - Tungsten is the hardest working metal almost nobody talks about. It goes into armour, munitions, drill bits and the cutting tools that machine everything else, and there is no practical substitute for most of what it does. The Business Research Company values the global tungsten market at roughly US$6.66 billion in 2026 and projects approximately US$9.62 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of about 9.6%. What makes the number matter now is a date. United States defense procurement rules begin excluding Chinese tungsten in 2027, and the American ground meant to replace it was abandoned decades ago on price

Canada News Group News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tungsten does not get the headlines that lithium or rare earths do, but few metals are harder to live without. It is the hardest metal known, with the highest melting point of any, and it is effectively irreplaceable in the armor-piercing munitions, cutting tools, aerospace components, and industrial machinery that modern economies and militaries depend on. It is also one of the most concentrated supply chains on earth, dominated by China, which has moved to tighten exports of the metal and the technology to process it. That combination has turned a once-overlooked commodity into a national-security priority acros

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 27, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary - Of all the critical minerals now caught up in the race for supply-chain security, tungsten may be the one with the widest gap between how essential it is and how little of it the Western world controls. It has the highest melting point of any metal and is exceptionally difficult to substitute in many critical applications, including cutting tools, armor-piercing munitions, aerospace components, and electronics that modern industry and defense depend on. Yet its mining and processing are among the most concentrated of any strategic metal, dominated overwhelmingly by China, which has moved to tighten exports. That combinati

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USA News Group News Commentary - A geophysical survey doesn't discover ore, but it can tell a company exactly where to stop guessing. Western Star Resources Inc.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American News Group News Commentary - The Western rare earth build has a sequencing problem that almost nobody states plainly: magnet plants and separation trains are being financed years ahead of the mines meant to feed them. Developing a Western rare-earth supply chain requires more than identifying a mineral deposit. Projects must advance through resource definition, metallurgy, engineering, environmental work, permitting, financing, and commercial arrangements before they can reach production. An Initial Assessment under SK 1300 is an early technical and economic study that can help frame a project’s potential development concepts and

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 21, 2026 /CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary - Tungsten spent most of the last decade as an industrial afterthought, priced quietly behind the metals that draw headlines. Two years of export controls, defense procurement rules and a price move unmatched anywhere else in the critical minerals complex have turned it into a supply problem governments now legislate around. The Business Research Company projects the global tungsten market growing from roughly $6.66 billion in 2026 to about $9.62 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate near 9.6%.
