CRITICAL TUNGSTEN
Tungsten plays a crucial role in numerous industries, with its various forms serving specific purposes:
It’s unique properties of being the hardest metal with the highest melting point mean it's used in many different sectors such as automotive, technology, energy and manufacturing.
On the supply side, tungsten is one of three metals classified as a conflict mineral
as it is mined by forced labour in certain parts of the globe.
There is a significant risk that the EU and the US will not have sufficient access to tungsten concentrates in the near future, which is why its classified as a critical mineral.
