Almonty Industries Inc. (“Almonty” or the “Company”) (TSX: AII / OTCQX: ALMTF / Frankfurt: ALI.F) announces that the Plansee Group has concluded the agreement to purchase 10,587,056 shares at $1.06 from Lewis Black as part of the previously contemplated transaction announced in December 2020. This transaction provided Almonty with both a US$20m cost overrun guarantee dedicated to the construction of the Sangdong project and a further non-dilutive US$10m guarantee to cover the DRSA (reserve account) required by KfW IPEX Bank as a condition of the loan to replace the more normal cash equity that would have had to be provided otherwise and represented one third of the total equity required.
