The Tungsten Bet Everyone's Missing
If Almonty Industries Inc. isn't on your radar yet, Apaton Group, CEO Mario Hose thinks it should be — and fast. During a recent sit-down, Mario broke down why the Germany-based Apaton, known for sniffing out undervalued and under-the-radar opportunities, has its sights locked on this emerging tungsten powerhouse. Apaton, split between investment and advisory arms, focuses on growth-stage companies and helps them scale visibility — particularly within the often-overlooked but highly potent German-speaking investment landscape. 'In Canada, 80% of the market is resource-based, and everyone's chasing the same investor,' Mario explained. 'But in the DACH region — Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg — you've got 105 million people with relatively little competition for investor attention in the mining and resources space.' That's precisely why Almonty, a tungsten play poised to become the largest producer of the metal outside of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, has captured Apaton's attention. Helmed by founder and CEO Lewis Black, Almonty is ramping up production at its South Korean mine — a development set to go live this summer. What sets Almonty apart, Hose emphasized, is leadership. 'Lewis has serious skin in the game,' he noted. 'He's not just drawing a paycheck. He's invested his own money. That kind of alignment with shareholders is rare.' And the timing? Impeccable. As global tensions rise and tungsten supply chains face increasing restrictions, demand for the strategic metal is surging. From military-grade hardware to your smartphone's vibration mechanism, tungsten is everywhere — and Western nations are scrambling to secure sources outside of geopolitically sensitive regions. With a market cap around $500 million USD and a planned Nasdaq listing on the horizon, Almonty could soon see a substantial influx of U.S. investor interest. 'That listing will drive up liquidity, drive up demand, and usually — drive up share price,' Hose predicted. In a market full of noise, Apaton is laser-focused on signal. And according to Mario Hose, Almonty Industries is sending the right one. For more information on Almonty, their website is as well you can find them on the TSX under the ticker symbol AII.
