Toronto – Almonty Industries Inc. (“Almonty”) (TSX: AII / OTCQX: ALMTF / Frankfurt: 1MR) is pleased to provide an update regarding its US$75 million Project Financing with the KfW-IPEX Bank (“KfW”) for its wholly-owned Sangdong Mine.

The Company reports that it is has now finalized the completion agreement with KFE- Ipex Bank..  Finalization of the Facility Agreement is now expected to follow imminently and the Conditions Precedent (“CP”) list is now over 60% complete.

Almonty’s Chairman, President and CEO Lewis Black commented:

“This Represents the first step of closing for the libor plus 2.4% debt financing of our 100% owned Sangdong project. The next phase is the facility agreement which will follow shortly on from the completion agreement and then finally the compilation and population of the CP list. At that point the loan facility will then close. We remain on track at site with the construction of the Monty B portal commencing mid September and now we have added the road and drainage diversion project which will also commence at the same time. We expect to update the market further on the non dilutive equity piece shortly and I am personally looking forward to closing this transaction to commence the full build of the worlds largest tungsten mine and driving future growth through the continued expansion of the production at our Sangdong tungsten project and then on to the  full development of our deep Moly project located 150m from our existing infrastructure.”
