On May 7, 2026, Adamera Minerals Corp. (ADZ:TSX.V) announced the staking of a third tungsten property in Washington, U.S. This new claim — the Pierre Creek property — lies 14 kilometers east of the company's Talisman tungsten project and concludes the company's Washington staking program.

Adamera's CEO, Mark Kolebaba, stated in the release: " Securing the Pierre Creek property alongside our Tungsten Ridge and Talisman projects positions Adamera as a significant participant in American tungsten exploration. Critical minerals development continues to be a focus for the country."

Indeed, trade tensions between the U.S. and China, as well as the rise of the U.S.-Iran War, have affected commodities prices over the past few weeks. Tungsten is necessary for waging war effectively, as it is a major component in weaponry. China is the world's largest tungsten producer, and it has stopped shipping to the U.S. As Almonty's CEO told CNBC on March 31, 2026, "There's no material to stockpile. That's probably the biggest change."

China, Russia, and North Korea produce roughly 90% of the world's tungsten, which has left the U.S. scrambling to secure solid domestic supply sources since the President Trump's tariffs sparked tension between the nations.

Ashitha Sivaprasad for Reuters wrote about the metal's market on April 29, 2026, writing, "Project Blue estimates the global tungsten market was about 129,000 ​metric tons in 2025. ​It added ⁠that defense demand, currently estimated at around 12% of the tungsten market, is expected to grow to roughly 15% ​between 2027 and 2028, as stockpile replenishment keeps demand ​elevated" and that "the automotive sector, consuming 25%-30% of tungsten, is currently the largest consumer, though rising EV adoption may curtail consumption, [while] defense-sector demand is growing about 8% annually, ⁠and ​if trends hold, defense could overtake automotive as ​tungsten's largest consumer by the mid-2030."

Adamera Minerals Corp. is a Canadian company with a traditional focus on high-grade gold, silver, and copper exploration in B.C. and Washington, U.S. The company is now positioning itself to provide an uninterrupted domestic supply of tungsten to the U.S. market.

What is Tungsten?

Tungsten is known to be one of the hardest metals on Earth, especially in the form of tungsten carbide.

Its strength allows it to be used for drilling, cutting, and armor-piercing weaponry, while its heat resistance allows it to be used in almost any explosive situation — and in lightbulbs as filament.

Analyst Recalls Gold Success

¹While Adamera is going after tungsten, John Newell of John Newell & Associates refocused on its established reputation as a gold explorer in a February 11, 2026, opinion piece for Streetwise Reports. He wrote: "For investors seeking leverage to a strengthening gold market, Adamera represents a 'Speculative Buy' around CA$0.10, with the understanding that success largely hinges on upcoming drilling programs."

He went on to say, "As always, position sizing and risk management matter. But in a rising metal price environment, this is the type of setup that can often surprise to the upside." Newell considers Adamera's Flag Hill South project in the Republic Gold District of Washington as one of the most immediate value drivers the company owns.

Multiple Projects in Development

Investors are watching Adamera's projects — Buckhorn 2.0, the Empire Creek Project, Flag Hill (and Flag Hill South), the Talisman historic mine, and the Hedley Copper-Gold Project — to see what will come of drill results in 2026.

The company is exploring for a solid domestic source of tungsten.
