Toronto, January 6, 2016 - Almonty Industries Inc. ("Almonty" or the "Company") (TSX-V: AII) today announced the filing of an updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Sangdong tungsten mine in Gangwon Province, South Korea.


The Technical Report was filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Almonty's company profile and will also be available on the Company's website at www.almonty.com.


"We believe the updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Sangdong mine demonstrates the consistent expansion of Almonty's understanding of the vast resource potential of the Sangdong mine. We have spent significant time and energy reworking the mine plan capital expenditure program as evidenced by the work done to date on the updated technical report. We are in the process of completing an updated feasibility study for the Sangdong mine project based on the updated technical report that materially improves upon the June 1, 2015 report. The combined reserve and resource base across all of our tungsten projects gives Almonty a resource profile that rivals any tungsten mining company in the world," stated Lewis Black, Chief Executive Officer of Almonty.
