Official Approval of Environmental Impact Report for Chuangmei Molybdenum (Henan) Co., Ltd.'s 300 t/yr Tungsten-Molybdenum, Niobium-Zirconium, and Titanium Deep Processing Project

2026-11-04

The Ruyang County Government has approved the environmental impact report for Chuangmei Molybdenum (Henan) Co., Ltd.'s 300 t/yr tungsten-molybdenum, niobium-zirconium, and titanium deep processing project, marking another expansion of refractory metal deep processing capacity in Henan. This capacity growth directly drives upstream powder consumption, with demand for spherical tungsten powder, molybdenum powder, and niobium-zirconium-titanium alloy powders continuing to rise within Henan's industrial cluster.

AM-Europe Appoints Inaugural Steering Committee: European Additive Manufacturing Industry Collaboration Enters Substantive Phase

AM-Europe, operated by CECIMO, appointed its inaugural Steering Committee at its first plenary meeting, with members drawn from leading national industry associations across Europe: ADDIMAT (Spain), UCIMU (Italy), Metaltechnology Austria (Austria), AMUK (UK), SWISSMEM (Switzerland), among others. AM-Europe was officially launched in June 2026 and is positioned as a platform for collaboration, industry representation, and policy engagement for additive manufacturing in Europe. For the metal powder industry: the advancement of a unified European AM industry platform toward industrialization will accelerate the development of policy and standards influence for metal additive manufacturing (including the powder supply chain) in Europe, and its downstream impact on metal powder demand warrants attention.

Viking Mines Advances Restart of Linka Tungsten Mine in Nevada, USA: Five Parallel Workstreams Target Domestic Tungsten Supply

Viking Mines (ASX: VKA) is advancing the restart of its Linka tungsten project in Nevada, USA. Guided by a fast-track-to-market strategy, the company is pursuing five parallel workstreams: drilling to confirm the geological model and grade continuity, metallurgical testing to determine beneficiation characteristics, processing capacity and engineering design, the shortest permitting path, and surface stockpiles and exploration targets to supplement ore sources. The goal is to evaluate Linka as a potential source of domestic US tungsten supply. For the metal powder industry: tungsten is a key upstream raw material for cemented carbides and tungsten powder (used in additive manufacturing and hot isostatic pressing). If the restart of a domestic US tungsten mine materializes, it will affect the global tungsten powder supply landscape and price expectations.

Kazakhstan's Kaz Resources Tungsten Project Plans 2027 US Listing at $2 Billion Valuation

According to the WSJ, Kaz Resources, which is developing a tungsten mine in Kazakhstan, plans a direct listing in the United States in 2027 at a valuation of about $2 billion; a previously planned merger with Nasdaq-listed company Skyline Builders has been withdrawn. The U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM) and the International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) have each issued letters of interest for financing of up to $900 million and $700 million, respectively (totaling $1.6 billion; disbursement has not yet been approved). The project is designed to produce about 12,000 tonnes of tungsten per year, roughly 15% of global output in 2025, with the goal of starting production in 2030. Two of Donald Trump's sons indirectly hold less than a 1% stake through Dominari Holdings and are not involved in management. For the metal powder industry: China dominates global tungsten supply and export controls are tightening, while U.S. capital is accelerating investment in overseas tungsten mines to hedge supply chain risks—tungsten powder is a key material for cemented carbide and high-end manufacturing, and changes in the upstream mine supply landscape warrant industry attention.
