VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 26, 2026/CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary -- Tungsten prices have surged fivefold over the past year as prolonged underinvestment and tightening Chinese exports push the market toward what BMO analysts warn could become a severe global shortage, with ammonium paratungstate now trading at approximately $1,775 per metric tonne unit after Chinese exports plummeted to near zero in late 2025^[1]. Copper price forecasts have jumped above $11,000 per tonne for the first time, according to a Reuters poll of analysts who remain wary about speculative excess even as supply deficits widen across base metals markets^[2]. Companies advancing critical mineral projects in stable mining jurisdictions include GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX: WPM) (NYSE: WPM), Capstone Copper (TSX: CS), Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) (OTCQX: IVPAF), and Taseko Mines (TSX: TKO) (NYSE-A: TGB).
