High melting point and good conductivity make it an ideal material for EDM processes, which require high levels of precision and control CONSUMER MILITARY TENSION SUPPORT TUNGSTEN DEMAND ➤ As military tensions continue to rise, the demand for advanced defense technologies is likely to increase, driving the demand for tungsten ➤ Use of tungsten in tank armor, including armor of the M1 Abrams tank, armor-piercing bullets, 155mm caliber shells, etc. ➤ Tungsten armor is less regulated than depleted uranium and considered "exportable" by the US → Tanks sold to allies have tungsten armor Race for future technologies such as hypersonic projectiles, that use exceptional heat-resistant tungsten, will boost the use of tungsten ➤ Recent examples: Poland ordered 116x M1A1 Abrams tank with tungsten armor (deliverable end 2024) + further 250 Abrams tank (deliverable 2025/2026) Romania and other countries also expressed their interest in Abrams tank ➤ France increased the military budget by 40% for this decade; Australia announced the biggest military budget in decades and Japan has recently unveiled an ambitious military build-up, renowned as the most significant since World War II, commonly referred to as "rearmament" ➤ China increased its military budget by 7% and is working to become the leader in hypersonic projectiles In 2024, Germany will allocate over 2% of its GDP to defense spending for the first time since 1990, marking a significant milestone post-Cold War 7#9CURRENT TRENDS & NEWS POTENTIAL NEW DOMESTIC DEMAND FOR TUNGSTEN IN SOUTH KOREA? A ALMONTY MULTINATIONAL GROUP ENTERS TUNGSTEN MARKET Daegu City signed an investment agreement with IMC End Mill on February 7, 2024, to construct a tungsten powder manufacturing facility IMC End Mill, an affiliate of the Berkshire Hathaway-owned IMC Group, will lead the establishment of the facility in Gachang-myeon, Daegu, with a significant investment of 130 billion won (approximately US$97.5 million) IMC Group President, Ilan Gehry, underscores the commitment to economic prosperity, job creation, and industry advancement. The initiative aims to distribute high- quality tungsten materials across diverse industries, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy GAME CHANGER FOR BATTERIES? "According to the researchers at N1 Technologies, as the next-generation battery, they had added tungsten and carbon multi-layered nanotubes while working on anodes. This will recharging the Nano Bolt lithium tungsten battery faster, and stores more energy."
