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 relocation of its corporate headquarters from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Dillon, Montana, United States.

The relocation of its corporate headquarters reflects Almonty's continued strategic alignment with the United States and its role in supporting secure, transparent, and Western-aligned supply chains for critical materials. The move positions the Company closer to key stakeholders, including U.S. government agencies, defense contractors and industrial partners, while reinforcing its commitment to becoming the leading U.S.-aligned tungsten producer.

The move follows Almonty's Nasdaq listing and US$90 million oversubscribed IPO in July 2025, a US$129 million follow-on financing in December 2025, and the acquisition of Montana's Gentung Tungsten Project, expected to restart production this year.

Almonty has also deepened its U.S. defense alignment through a strategic partnership with American Defense International, Inc., participation in the Department of Defense-sponsored Critical Minerals Forum, and congressional recognition for strengthening critical mineral independence.

Further underscoring its alignment with U.S. strategic priorities, Almonty has appointed former senior United States Army generals as directors, bringing defense and national security expertise to support the Company's role in securing critical mineral supply chains. The Company continues to advance its strategy of strengthening non-Chinese tungsten supply chains amid increasing geopolitical focus on critical minerals security.

Management Commentary

Lewis Black, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Almonty, said: "Relocating our headquarters to the United States is not merely symbolic. It reflects who we are – as Montana is the location of our recently acquired Gentung Tungsten Project – and where our future lies. Our investors, customers, and strategic partners are here because they recognize the urgency of building a Western tungsten supply chain free from Chinese dependence. With Sangdong Phase 1 complete and Gentung on track to begin production, we are delivering on that mission, and a U.S. home base ensures we remain at the center of it."
