Global Geologists Visit Sangdong Mine during September, 2024 IGC Conference in South Korea
Almonty Industries Inc. (TSX: AII / ASX: AII / OTCQX: ALMTF) announced that on September 2, 2024, renowned geologists from around the world visited the Company's Sangdong Tungsten Mine in South Korea. The visit was part of the 2024 International Geological Congress (IGC) in Busan. The geologists, led by Professor Seo Jeong-hoon from Seoul National University, examined the rare tungsten and molybdenum mineralization zones within the mine galleries.
The Sangdong Mine is recognized as one of the world's largest tungsten deposits, verified under both Australian (JORC Code) and Canadian (NI 43-101) standards. The redevelopment of the mine is seen as important for stabilizing and diversifying the global mineral resource supply. On August 23, 2024, a delegation from the U.S. Geological Survey's Global Mineral Analysis Research Center also visited the mine, expressing anticipation for its role in diversifying the tungsten supply chain, which is currently heavily reliant on China.
