foreign private issuer regulatory

"Form 6-K REPORT OF FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER"

A foreign private issuer is a company organized outside the United States that meets tests showing it is primarily foreign-controlled and therefore qualifies for a different set of U.S. reporting rules. For investors, that means the company files less frequent or differently formatted disclosures with U.S. regulators and may follow home-country accounting and governance practices, so buying its stock is like dining at a well-reviewed restaurant that follows its home kitchen’s rules instead of the local menu — you get access but should check what standards apply.

Chief Financial Officer financial

"announced the appointment of Jorge Beristain, CFA, as Chief Financial Officer"

A Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is the person in charge of a company's money and financial planning. They decide how to spend, save, and invest funds to help the company grow and stay stable. Their role is important because good financial decisions keep the company healthy and successful.

conflict-free tungsten technical

"a leading supplier of conflict-free tungsten – a strategic metal"

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This news release contains “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information”"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

annual information form regulatory

"risks identified in the Company’s annual information form for the year ended"

A company's annual information form is a comprehensive regulatory filing that lays out its business description, key assets, risks, legal matters and other background details shareholders need to understand the company’s operations. Think of it as a detailed owner’s manual or dossier that supplements financial statements, helping investors do deeper homework on how the business works and what could affect its future performance.

Almonty Industries Inc. Appoints Jorge Beristain as Chief Financial Officer
to Lead Next Phase of Growth

TORONTO – May 6, 2026 — Almonty Industries Inc. (“Almonty” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ALM) (TSX: AII) (ASX: AII) (Frankfurt: ALI1), a leading global producer of tungsten critical to U.S. defense and advanced technology industries, today announced the appointment of Jorge Beristain, CFA, as Chief Financial Officer, effective June 1, 2026. Mr. Beristain’s appointment positions Almonty for its next phase of growth as the Company scales its flagship Sangdong Mine in South Korea and continues to expand its strategic role in the Western tungsten supply chain in the United States, Portugal and Spain. Brian Fox has departed from his role as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately, and the Company thanks him for his service. Until Mr. Beristain’s start date, Guillaume de Lamaziere, the Company’s Chief Development Officer, will serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Beristain is a strategic, dynamic finance executive with a proven track record of building, funding, growing, and creating value at publicly traded basic materials and mining companies. He most recently served as Vice President, Finance of Ryerson Holding Corp (“Ryerson”) (NYSE: RYI), a US$5 billion revenue NYSE-listed metals service center, where he was a key advisor to the CEO, CFO and the Board, and helped double the company’s market capitalization. He previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Central Steel & Wire Co., a US$800 million Ryerson subsidiary and currently serves as an Independent Director of Elevra Lithium Limited (NASDAQ/ASX: ELVR). Earlier in his career, Mr. Beristain was a top-three-ranked Wall Street equity research analyst, serving as Managing Director and Head of Americas Metals & Mining Equity Research at Deutsche Bank Securities.

His combination of operating experience, public-company executive leadership, board service, and Wall Street capital markets fluency makes him uniquely suited to lead Almonty’s finance organization as the Company executes on its global growth strategy and enters into its next phase.

Mr. de Lamaziere will serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer until Mr. Beristain’s start date. He currently serves as the Company’s Chief Development Officer and brings over three decades of senior financial leadership experience across international and U.S. regulated financial markets, including former roles as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating & Financial Officer of AIG Asset Management (Europe) Ltd., Chief Operating & Financial Officer of Banque AIG in Paris, and senior finance positions at Goldman Sachs in New York and Paris.

Management Commentary

Lewis Black, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Almonty, said: “Jorge is exactly the right leader for the next phase of Almonty’s growth as our Sangdong Mine comes on line with revenue generation this year. His track record, public-company experience and decades of Wall Street capital markets fluency in basic materials and mining are extraordinary, and rarely found in a single executive. As we ramp our flagship Sangdong Mine in South Korea and execute on our broader strategic priorities, Jorge’s finance acumen, investor-relations expertise, and value-creation track record will be instrumental in delivering for our shareholders, customers, and the Western allies who depend on a secure tungsten supply chain. We thank Brian for his service to the Company and wish him well. We are also grateful to Guillaume for stepping in as Interim Chief Financial Officer to ensure continuity until Jorge joins Almonty.”
