    US Government Commits $450M to Elmet Group for Domestic Tungsten Supply

    Question

    US Government Commits $450M to Elmet Group for Domestic Tungsten Supply

    Direct answer

    In an effort to secure strategic raw material supply lines, the US government awarded a $450 million investment package to The Elmet Group. The funding includes more than $165 million directed to processing plants in Maine, Michigan, and Ohio, with remainder allocated to upstream mining support. Tungsten is a vital input for defense munitions and high-hardness industrial tooling. The award represents expanding government balance-sheet underwriting of strategic domestic supply chains.
