Allied Critical Metals Joins the Critical
Minerals Forum to Advance Secure Tungsten
Supply
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2025) - Allied Critical Metals Inc. (CSE:
ACM) (OTCQB: ACMIF) (FSE: 0VJ0) ("Allied" or the "Company"), which is focused on its 100% owned
past producing Borralha and Vila Verde tungsten projects in northern Portugal, is pleased to announce
its membership in the Critical Minerals Forum ("CMF") - a leading U.S.-based non-profit initiative
dedicated to strengthening secure and transparent global critical mineral supply chains.
The CMF convenes key stakeholders across the critical minerals value chain - including companies,
investors, end-users, policymakers, and research organizations - with a shared mission of building
reliable and resilient supply networks for minerals essential to technology, defense, energy, and
advanced manufacturing.
Allied's flagship Borralha Tungsten Project, strategically located in northern Portugal, represents one of
the largest undeveloped tungsten deposits in Europe and a potential near-term source of supply outside
of China and Russia. With a current NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate of 4.98 Mt @ 0.22% WO
(Indicated) and 7.01 Mt @ 0.20% WO
(Inferred), Borralha has the potential to provide a stable and
scalable source of tungsten concentrate to Western markets. Allied's mineral resource estimate for its
Borralha Tungsten Project is further detailed in its technical report entitled, "Technical Report on the
Borralha Property, Parish of Salto, District of Vila Real, Portugal', dated effective July 31, 2024" which is
available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca
.
Roy Bonnell, CEO & Director of Allied Critical Metals, commented: "Allied is proud to join the Critical
Minerals Forum at such a pivotal time for global supply chain security. Tungsten is recognized as one of
the most strategic and irreplaceable critical minerals, yet supply is overwhelmingly concentrated in
China. By advancing Borralha & Vila Verde, we are working to establish Europe's next major tungsten
mines - and our participation in CMF ensures we can contribute to shaping the policies, partnerships,
and strategies that will underpin Western supply resilience."
The Critical Minerals Forum (CMF) is a leading non-profit initiative dedicated to strengthening secure,
transparent, and resilient global supply chains for critical and strategic metals. Bringing together
governments, industry leaders, investors, and technology innovators, the CMF provides a collaborative
platform to advance responsible sourcing, promote sustainable development, and reduce reliance on
unstable or concentrated supply regions. With a mission to support energy transition, defense readiness,
and advanced manufacturing, the CMF works to ensure the materials essential to modern economies
remain accessible, reliable, and responsibly produced.
Rob Strayer, President of the Critical Minerals Forum, stated: "Allied Critical Metals brings important
expanded capacity to the supply of tungsten, which is a critical mineral that is a priority for the Forum for
both national and economic security reasons. Allied's upstream perspective and regional positioning
make them a valuable contributor to the Forum."
Through its membership, Allied is contributing to CMF working groups focused on supply chain
diversification, midstream processing, and data-driven market forecasting. The Company's insights are
particularly relevant to tungsten, known as the "military metal" for its essential role in defence
applications, industrial tooling, aerospace, and clean energy technologies.
The Borralha Tungsten Project is planned to be advanced through resource expansion, updated
technical studies, and project development aligned with European and North American critical minerals
strategies. By reviving one of Europe's historically significant tungsten districts, Allied is positioning itself
as a cornerstone supplier to allied nations seeking to diversify supply chains away from China and
Russia.
