Almonty operates the Los Santos mine in Spain as well as the Wolfram Camp mine in Australia. In addition, Almonty is developing the Valtreixal tin/tungsten mine in northwestern Spain with anticipated production in 2017. Woulfe's principal asset is the 100%-owned Sangdong tungsten/molybdenum project in South Korea. The project comes with a final feasibility study and a very significant tungsten resource.
Thomas Gutschlag, CEO of Deutsche Rohstoff, commented: "Almonty consequently implements its strategy to build the largest tungsten producer outside China. It reaches critical mass to dictate WO3 pricing and/or become a highly attractive acquisition target. Deutsche Rohstoff as Almonty's second largest shareholder fully supports this strategy and are convinced that our shareholding will gain further value."
Deutsche Rohstoff holds 24.9 % of the Almonty share capital and in addition a CAD 7.5 million convertible bond which can be converted into Almonty shares at a share price of CAD 1.45.
