Tungsten Market
Tungsten MarketInteresting critical elements report from the British:https://agmetalminer.com/2011/09/15/the-most-at-risk-metals/Arguably, tungsten is as critical as REEs, used as it is in a huge array of metal alloys for electrical, strength and wear resistant applications. Like REEs, China is restricting exports of tungsten and the BGS ranks the supply risks as even higher than REEs.Tungsten is very critical to the EU heavy metal industry as also proven by the 2010 EU study (see page 6 - Niobium and Tungsten as the most critical and economically important elements for the EU).https://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/raw-materials/files/docs/report_en.pdf
