Summary
U.S. government researchers visited a South Korean mine owned by Almonty Industries to assess progress towards boosting the supply of tungsten, a critical metal used in various industries. The mine is set to resume operations this year and could potentially produce 50% of the world's tungsten supply outside of China. The U.S. has not commercially mined tungsten since 2015, and efforts are being made to reduce dependence on Chinese supply.
