EDISON EQUITY RESEARCH: ALMONTY INDUSTRIES - APT PRICE REBOUND KEY, FINANCES BOLSTERED

The present weakness in tungsten (APT) prices continues to be reflected in Almonty’s financial results, against a backdrop of steady production, improving costs and corporate efforts to strengthen its balance sheet. Alongside its corporate activity, Almonty is progressing optimisation of its Wolfram Camp Mine (WCM) to bring costs in line with Los Santos’s, as well as progressing development of its Sangdong asset (commissioning is expected in 2017). With APT prices at 10-year lows, it is clear a rebound in prices is the key for Almonty emerging as the pre-eminent global tungsten producer and maintaining itself as a going concern.

Almonty Industries is an independent tungsten producer, with two operating mines – Los Santos in Spain and Wolfram Camp in Australia – and the development-stage Valtreixal tungsten-tin project in Spain. The company produced 91kmtu of contained WO3 in FY14 and 98kmtu in FY15.
