History
Almonty went from a US equity raise and a Montana tungsten purchase in 2025 to a US$700 million convertible note deal and a Nasdaq-focused listing by August 2026.
2025: Going to the US market
In July 2025 Almonty filed to offer shares in the United States and applied to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market as "ALM". The money was mainly meant to fund a planned tungsten oxide facility, plus working capital.
In November the company closed its purchase of the Gentung Browns Lake Tungsten Project in Montana, its first operations in the United States. It targeted possible production readiness in the second half of 2026, at about 140,000 MTUs a year (a standard unit for measuring tungsten). The price was not stated.
In December the offering was priced at US$6.25 a share. With the underwriters' extra-share option taken up in full, Almonty sold 20,700,000 shares and raised US$129,375,000 gross, which diluted existing holders more than the first pricing showed. Proceeds were earmarked for Gentung Browns Lake, expanding the Panasqueira mine, exploration at the Sangdong Molybdenum project and general purposes. The tungsten oxide facility was no longer listed. The chief executive said the company was fully capitalized for those projects and intended to withdraw its base prospectus, the filing that lets a company sell shares. Shares on issue stood at 262,776,228 at the end of 2025.
2026: Convertible notes and a narrower listing
Six months after saying it was fully capitalized, Almonty proposed in June 2026 a private offering of US$700 million of convertible notes, bonds that can be swapped for shares. They were priced the next day, oversubscribed, at 2.25% interest and due July 1, 2031. They convert at about US$27.40 a share, a 32.5% premium to the US$20.68 share price on June 4, well above the December offering price. Capped calls, costing about US$83.0 million, were meant to limit dilution up to US$41.36. Of about US$675.9 million net proceeds, roughly US$50.0 million was for refinancing existing debt and US$543.0 million for working capital and general purposes, possibly including acquisitions. Settlement was scheduled for June 9 and depended on TSX acceptance; later filings did not confirm the closing or whether a further US$100 million option was used. The company's filings now listed Dillon, Montana, rather than Toronto.
In July Almonty said it would voluntarily delist from the Toronto Stock Exchange at the close of July 31, citing most trading volume being on Nasdaq and the costs of the listing. It then received ASX approval to leave that exchange, expected September 1, with CDIs (the ASX-traded form of its shares), about 0.80% of issued shares, last trading August 28. Remaining holders' shares would be sold through sale facilities running to December 9.
On August 17, 2026, the board approved a buyback of up to 14,400,000 shares, about 5% of shares outstanding, or US$300 million, from August 24, 2026 to August 24, 2029. Purchases are at the company's discretion. At that date Almonty traded on Nasdaq and Frankfurt, with the ASX exit pending.
