Eastinco is leveraging its established procurement network, local operating infrastructure, responsible-sourcing procedures and international trading relationships to trial smaller-scale, lot-by-lot tungsten transactions with approved Rwandan suppliers — testing supplier performance, product specifications, pricing and the working capital cycle before scaling.

With China supplying around 82% of mined tungsten in 2024, supply concentration and export controls are creating diversification pressure across industrial cutting tools, mining equipment, electronics, aerospace and defence — an opportunity Eastinco is positioned to serve. The Company is also assessing further commodities including copper, tin and beryllium as it builds Eastinco into a broader trading platform.
