Year high/low
LOS SANTOS
Almonty has just completed (June 2013) its second optimization, at its Los Santos mine in northern Spain. Almonty acquired
the project in September 2011and has been focused on utilizing
its expertise in order to optimize operations, reduce costs and
improve the tungsten recovery rate. To date Almonty has been
successful in improving the tungsten recovery rate to approximately 65%, representing an improvement of over 40% since
the closing of the acquisition, reducing cash operating costs by
25% and increasing cash flow.
PANASQUEIRA
Prior to acquiring Los Santos, in 2005, Almonty identified and
acquired poorly managed tungsten mining and processing
operations located in Panasqueira, Portugal, through its control
position in publicly traded, Toronto Venture Exchange company,
Primary Metals Inc. (ticker-PMI). Almonty refurbished operations,
increased mine life and sold PMI in 2008 to the Japanese metals
conglomerate Sojitz for a price of roughly 20x earnings,
representing a thirty fold return on investment in 3 years.
VALTREIXAL
Immediately following the optimization at Los Santos, Almonty
purchased its next tungsten project, Valtreixal, located in northwestern Spain. The company plans on applying its tungsten
expertise in making Valtreixal another Almonty success story.
Almonty is actively pursuing other growth opportunities via
acquisitions where it can apply its tungsten expertise in order
to create additional value for all stakeholders. Almonty is focused on past producing mines, operations that are on care and
maintenance, tailings stockpiles and other situations where
near-term production and positive cash flow can be achieved.

TSX-V: AI I
TUNGSTEN
It is the heaviest engineering material with a density of 19.25 g/cm3.
It has the highest melting point of all metals at 3410∞C with a
boiling point of 5700∞C.
It has the lowest vapour pressure of all metals.
It has the highest modulus of elasticity of the metals (E = 400GPa).
It is the strongest of all metals—3 x harder than chrome and
titanium.
It has excellent high temperature strength characteristics.
It has the highest tensile strength at temperatures above 1650∞C.
It has a low thermal expansion co-efficient (4.4x10-6 m/m/∞C)
similar to that of borosilicate glass, and therefore makes it
useful for glass to metal seals.
It is environmentally-friendly, unlike other heavy metals like
lead.
Due to the unique properties of tungsten,
tungsten alloys and some tungsten
compounds, tungsten cannot be substituted
in many important applications relevant to
modern technology.
Tungsten is an additive in the production
of specialist steel; filament wire for lighting
(2%); and specialty uses for mobile phone
handsets, military, ballistics and more.
Today, manufacturing cemented carbides is
the main use of tungsten. Cemented
carbides, or hard metals, are materials
made by “cementing” very hard tungsten
monocarbide (WC) grains in a binder matrix
of tough cobalt metal by liquid phase
sintering. This results in hardness close to
that of diamonds.
It does not oxidize in air and needs no protection from
oxidation at elevated temperatures.
It has excellent corrosion resistance and is not attacked by
nitric, hydrofluoric, or sulphuric acid solutions.

Tungsten and Tungsten Concentrate:
The World Supply of tungsten concentrate is dominated by
China.
In order to meet increasing domestic demand, China has become a net importer of tungsten concentrate due to increased
government regulations and restrictions on exports by China.

Tungsten Metal Prices:
Global demand for tungsten concentrate has recovered from
the lows seen during the economic crisis of 2008-2009;
supplies have tightened as
demand
has increased resulting in
