Vancouver, BC, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Tungsten Corp. (CSE:TUNG) (OTCQB:DEMRF) (FSE:RK9) ("American Tungsten” or the "Company”) reaffirms its commitment to onshoring tungsten supply in the United States amidst recent commitments made by President Trump on February 24, 2025 to move ahead with tariffs action against Canada and Mexico.

American Tungsten remains committed to strengthening resource independence in the United States. Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral by the U.S. government, owing to its use in high-strength applications such as defense, aerospace, and high-performance manufacturing. The potential imposed tariffs highlight the strategic importance of securing domestic sources for key industrial metals in the United States, reinforcing the necessity of a stable and self-sufficient supply chain.

"We recognize the potential impacts these tariffs may have on our industry and our stakeholders,” said Murray Nye, CEO of American Tungsten. "However, as one of the few U.S.-based tungsten miners, we believe this recent development underscores the importance of domestic production to mitigate supply chain disruptions and reduce reliance on foreign imports.”

As Canadian and other foreign suppliers may face cost disadvantages, the Company expects to see increased demand from both industrial and government buyers seeking reliable, tariff-free tungsten supplies. In addition to economic benefits, American Tungsten's contemplated operations will contribute to job creation and local economic growth in the state of Idaho.
