TORONTO, ONTARIO – May 9, 2025 – The Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) is pleased to announce that Murray Nye, President of American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG | OTCQB: DEMRF), will present “Tungsten in Canada/USA” on Day 1 of CMI Summit IV, Tuesday, May 13 (1:20 – 1:35 PM ET). He will also participate that afternoon on Panel 04, “The Surge in Demand for Military Metals” (3:10 – 3:55 PM ET).
With more than two decades of building public-company ventures in the resource sector, Nye now steers American Tungsten’s strategy to reactivate the historic IMA Mine in Idaho while expanding the Company’s North American tungsten footprint. Since assuming the presidency in April 2025, he has enlarged the IMA land package by nearly 2,000 acres, overseen the Company’s re-branding from Demesne Resources, and brought veteran defense sector talent onto the board to fast-track U.S. government engagement.
During his 15-minute address, Nye will outline how tungsten forms the metallurgical backbone of hard-power supply chains—from armour-piercing penetrators to high-temperature superalloys—and why on-shoring this critical mineral is now a national security imperative. Delegates will gain an inside look at permitting milestones, defense sector procurement pathways, and the cost-compression benefits of establishing an integrated tungsten processing corridor within Canada and the United States.
“America cannot afford to rely on foreign sources of critical minerals like tungsten,” Nye says. “By bringing the past-producing IMA Mine back online and pursuing additional North American resources, we aim to anchor a secure, tariff-free metals complex that directly serves defense and high-tech manufacturers across the continent.”
Tracy Hughes, Founder & Executive Director of CMI, commented:
“Few leaders grasp the strategic urgency and commercial mechanics of rebuilding North America’s defense metal supply chains the way Murray does. His cross-border tungsten blueprint is exactly the kind of actionable solution CMI Summit IV is designed to showcase.”
CMI Summit IV will convene industry executives, policymakers, and capital-market leaders under the theme “The War for Critical Minerals and Capital Resources.” For registration and the full agenda, visit CriticalMineralSummit.com.
