Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Resource Estimate: The resource estimates in this document were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, adopted by the Canadia n Securities Administrators. The requirements of National Instrument 43-101 differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commis sion (the “SEC”). In this document, we use the terms “measured,” “indicated”, and “inferred” resources. Although these terms are required and recognized in Canada, the S EC does not recognize them. The SEC permits US mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that constitute “reserves.” Under U nited States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the time the determination is made. United States investors should not assume that all or any portion of a measured or indicated resource will ever be converte d into “reserves”. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically, and United States inv estors should not assume that “inferred resources” exist or can be economically mined, or that they will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The definition of “reserves” under National Instrument 43-101 is not the same as the SEC Standard.

Production at Los Santos (Spain) and Panasqueira (Portugal) have been increasing steadily as a result of various rationalization measures taken at both mines Encouraging development is seen in the decreasing production cost, widening the gap with the average cost of Chinese tungsten mines implying long term cost competitiveness of the company
5 Almonty – Financial Projection for coming years
The trend in LTM is expected to continue in coming years aided by newly implemented measures including: • Operation of ore sorting equipment at Panasqueira allowing additional reclamation of the coarse fraction tailings with reasonably anticipated production increase of about 10% • Increased production of by-products, e.g. copper, zinc, tin, etc.

22 III. Tungsten Market Update Tungsten – Demand/Supply
DEMAND • Global demand for tungsten is forecast to grow by 2.5% per year till 2026 with Chinese consumption accounting for ~60% of demand • Automotive, mining, construction and oil & gas sectors, the largest end-users, continue to grow with increasing applications of tungsten
SUPPY • China continues to be the dominant force (83% of global production in 2017) • Non-quota production in China, a primary driver of output growth and “price spoiler”, has been rapidly diminishing as the government cracks down on this illegal practice since 2017 • China’s drive for higher value-add downstream products has contributed to a tightening supply of tungsten concentrate to non-Chinese consumers • Net, a reduction in the availability of tungsten concentrate outside of China has in turn incentivized end-users to secure dependable sources outside of China 24 Tungsten Prices
Tightening Supply Demand Balance sets Long term Direction of Tungsten Prices
• 2017 saw a significant rise in prices driven by strong global industrial growth and decreased supply from China • Prices have remained strong in 2018 on continued reduction/idling of Chinese supply • Factors mitigating production increase: - Very few high-grade deposits available, - Long lead times from exploration to new production, - Rise in development and operating costs
• Recent price consolidation is viewed short term, driven by loose stocks flown out of Vietnam, coinciding with seasonal (summer) recess • Given the average Chinese production cost of U$225/MTU* (equivalent to U$288/MTU, APT), prices are expected to rebound to the level comfortable for Chinese producers * 2015 CTIA/Argus
