Almonty Industries (TSX: AII / ASX: AII / OTCQX: ALMTF) has announced plans to change its incorporation from Canada to Delaware, USA, while maintaining its current stock exchange listings. The decision reflects the growing strategic importance of the United States and comes amid significant changes in global critical materials regulations.
The move is driven by new Department of Defense restrictions starting January 2027, which will prohibit sourcing of critical materials like tungsten from countries including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Additionally, recent Chinese export restrictions on dual-use technologies and US tariff increases on Chinese imports have disrupted global supply chains.
The company's Sangdong Mine is positioned to become a major Western source of tungsten, with 45% of its potential long-term output already committed to the US through an agreement with Global Tungsten & Powders in Pennsylvania. Production is expected to begin by mid-2025. The US domestication plan, unanimously approved by the board, is expected to complete in Q1 2025, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.

This milestone represents the completion of the loan drawdown process and demonstrates KfW's continued support for Almonty's vision to become a leading global tungsten producer.
The bank has supported every drawdown request since the project financing approval, contributing to the development of a reliable tungsten source for the Western world. CEO Lewis Black emphasized the importance of KfW's partnership and expressed commitment to timely loan repayment.
