Almonty Industries Inc. (TSX: AII) (ASX: AII) (OTCQX: ALMTF) (Frankfurt: ALI) (“Almonty” or the “Company”), a leading global producer of tungsten concentrate, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic partnership agreement (“Agreement”) with American Defense International, Inc. (“ADI”), a prominent government relations and business development firm based in Washington, D.C.

This partnership represents a significant step in strengthening Almonty’s strategic positioning within the critical metals sector to support the U.S. federal government as well as the American defense and technology industries. Alongside the Company’s ongoing redomiciling to the United States, the collaboration with ADI will enhance engagement in the U.S. market by reinforcing the Company’s alignment and support of government policies and industry priorities.

Founded in 1995 and supported by a team of former senior government officials, military officers, and congressional aides, ADI has a strong track record of assisting companies in securing key government relationships, advancing strategic initiatives, and facilitating global expansion. Representing over 100 organizations – including prominent companies such as SpaceX – across 11 countries, ADI’s influence and reach will be instrumental in further positioning Almonty within the growing demand for secure and sustainable tungsten and Molybdenum supply chains to supply the needs of the U.S. defense and technology sectors.

Lewis Black, President & CEO of Almonty, commented: "We are thrilled to announce our partnership with American Defense International, which will help position Almonty as a leading allied supplier of tungsten and molybdenum for American interests. As we move to finalize our redomiciling to the United States, ADI’s expertise and relationships, forged through working with industry-leaders such as SpaceX, will position us to strengthen relationships with key stakeholders in a rapidly evolving global landscape. We look forward to working closely with their team in the months and years to come as we strive to create sustainable, long-term value for my fellow shareholders.”
