Le producteur espagnol de tungstène Abenojar veut s'introduire à la Bourse de Londres

Face à la flambée des prix du tungstène et à une demande croissante, Abenojar Tungsten mise sur une introduction en Bourse à Londres. Ce projet pourrait relancer l'attractivité de la City, tout en répondant aux besoins stratégiques de l'Europe en métaux critiques.

Par Étienne Goetz Publié le 25 sept. 2026

Alors que les tensions géopolitiques atteignent des sommets depuis la guerre froide, la demande en métaux pour l'armement explose, en particulier celle de tungstène, le métal de la guerre par excellence. Très dense et avec l'un des points de fusion les plus élevés, il est très utilisé dans les munitions, les blindages et l'aérospatiale.

Dans ce contexte, le groupe espagnol Abenojar Tungsten, fondé il y a trois ans, cherche des fonds pour développer la mine de tungstène et d'or El Moto à Ciudad Real, dans le centre de l'Espagne. La production minière pourrait commencer dès 2029. Les coûts initiaux du projet s'élèvent à 211 millions d'euros, selon une étude de faisabilité publiée en août. ... abonnés

Spanish miner Abenójar Tungsten confirms promising European project

5th August 2026 By: Marleny Arnoldi

European tungsten developer Abenójar Tungsten has confirmed the El Moto project, in Spain, as a long-life and high-margin tungsten operation with an after-tax internal rate of return of 62% at base case commodity prices.

Having started construction on the project already, the company expects production from the mine in 2029.

The company finds in preliminary results of a 2026 definitive feasibility study (DFS) for El Moto that the planned underground mining operation and ore processing facility can viably process 1.5-million tonnes a year, with ore processing planned to take place over an 18-year mine life to produce saleable tungsten concentrate and a separate gold concentrate.

At tungsten prices of $xxxx/t and gold prices of $zzzz/t, and after spending upfront capital expenditure of €211-million, the project can generate about €357-million of earnings every year from producing 422 656 metric ton units (mtu) of tungsten oxide at steady state.

Abenójar Tungsten CEO Gonzalo Garcia San Miguel says El Moto is a world-class tungsten project in a Tier 1 jurisdiction, boasting a high-grade close-to-surface deposit that can benefit from existing regional infrastructure. The project is also backed by a strong social licence, he confirms.

The DFS confirms the future mine as a low-cost tungsten operation at an all-in sustaining cost of €236/mtu and C1 cost of €188/mtu, with the potential to meaningfully serve growing tungsten needs and support critical mineral supply chain resilience.

The strategic importance of tungsten, as a critical component in sectors that underpin modern society, is increasingly apparent and is reflected in the current strengthening spot price.

"The economics in the DFS show a high-quality project providing strong steady state earnings for an initial 18 years of production life, which accounts for only 25% of total resource with room for significant reserve conversion and mine plan extension," the company says.

Meanwhile, the Spanish government has approved €12.6-million in regional incentives for the El Moto tungsten project. Having already been designated a European Strategic Project under the Critical Raw Materials Act, this support reinforces Abenójar Tungsten's commitment to sustainable mining, driving local growth and creating jobs in the region.

US supports UK tungsten project Redmoor with $9.25m funding

Aim-listed Strategic Minerals has secured a $9.25-million investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary Cornwall Resources from the US Department of War.

The funding will support the acceleration of the Redmoor tungsten/copper/tin project in the UK through all feasibility studies and toward a final investment decision for mining.

Redmoor is believed to be Europe's highest-grade undeveloped tungsten resource and one of the highest-grade tungsten projects globally.

Strategic Minerals says the US investment reflects support for the development of a secure and resilient allied tungsten supply, as well as recognises Redmoor's potential importance to the US and allied advanced manufacturing, defence and critical mineral supply chains.

The investment is non-dilutive and has no restrictions on future funding of offtakes.

Some of Redmoor's current works include resource infill and expansion drilling, prefeasibility and definitive feasibility studies; metallurgical, processing and engineering studies and pre-site development activities aimed at fast-tracking the route to underground mining.
