During December 2019 through February 2020, the Company

2,047,244 units of which consisted of 2,047,244 shares and
2,047,244 share purchase warrants, exercisable at a price of $0.75
per share with a three year term. Of the 2,047,244 warrants issued,
1,020,000 expired, 327,244 were exercised and 700,000 remain

exercised by Lewis Black, CEO of the Company.
The remaining 700,000 warrants are held by insiders of the
Company.
The extension of the warrants is subject to Toronto Stock
Exchange and shareholder approval.
The amendment of the warrants to insiders may be considered a
related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). As such, the Company would rely
on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of
MI 61-101 on the basis that number of warrants being amended by
insiders will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the
Company’s market capitalization.
About Almonty
The principal business of Toronto, Canada-based Almonty
Industries Inc. is the mining, processing and shipping of tungsten
concentrate from its Los Santos Mine in western Spain and its
Panasqueira mine in Portugal as well as the development of its
Sangdong tungsten mine in Gangwon Province, South Korea and the
development of the Valtreixal tin/tungsten project in north western
Spain. The Los Santos Mine was acquired by Almonty in September
2011 and is located approximately 50 kilometres from Salamanca in

mine, which has been in production since 1896, is located

acquired in January 2016 and produces tungsten concentrate. The
Sangdong mine, which was historically one of the largest tungsten
mines in the world and one of the few long-life, high-grade
tungsten deposits outside of China, was acquired in September 2015
through the acquisition of a 100% interest in Woulfe Mining Corp.
Almonty owns 100% of the Valtreixal tin-tungsten project in north-
western Spain. Further information about Almonty’s activities may
