⚠️ Opportunities & Risks
✅ Opportunities:
- Global market share: China dominates, but geopolitical trends (West) favor tungsten suppliers outside of China
- Sangdong is a high-grade world-class mine - recommissioning from 2025
- Offtake contracts (Plansee: 45%) & funding commitments (KfW Bank) strengthen revenue positions
⚠️ Risks:
- Loss radar - no profits yet, high debt service required
- China could push prices down again, political uncertainty (e.g. South Korea, North Korea)
- Production start delayed - capex risks on completion of Sangdong project
