PENNSYLVANIA, USA — On September 30, the first shipment of tungsten concentrate (WO₃) from Rwanda’s Trinity Nyakabingo Mine arrived at Global Tungsten and Powders (GTP) in Pennsylvania. The minerals, sourced from the Nyakabingo Mine in Rulindo District, Northern Province of Rwanda, mark the first delivery under a trade agreement signed on August 28, 2025, between Trinity Metals Wolfram and GTP to export tungsten to the U.S. GTP processes the ore into fine powder, which is then used to manufacture high-strength metals for a wide range of applications. The arrival was witnessed by U.S. Ambass

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — On September 30, the first shipment of tungsten concentrate (WO₃) from Rwanda’s Trinity Nyakabingo Mine arrived at Global Tungsten and Powders (GTP) in Pennsylvania. The minerals, sourced from the Nyakabingo Mine in Rulindo District, Northern Province of Rwanda, mark the first delivery under a trade agreement signed on August 28, 2025, between Trinity Metals Wolfram and GTP to export tungsten to the U.S. GTP processes the ore into fine powder, which is then used to manufacture high-strength metals for a wide range of applications. The arrival was witnessed by U.S. Ambassador to Rwanda Eric Kneedler, Rwanda’s Deputy Ambassador to the United States Arthur Asiimwe, and senior GTP executives. Trinity Metals Chairman Shawn McCormick described the delivery as a milestone: "It is an honor to see material from Rwanda being processed by one of the world’s largest tungsten companies, producing products that will help make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. In turn, the nearly 7,000 employees of Trinity Metals, along with the government of Rwanda, will benefit from expanded market access and strengthened strategic ties between our two countries." Trinity Metals was formed in 2022 by merging three historic mines, Nyakabingo Tungsten Mine, Rutongo Tin Mine and Musha Tin and Tantalum Mine making it the largest producer of conflict-free and child labor-free critical minerals in Rwanda. Trinity has also discovered a highly prospective Lithium deposit called Ntunga on its Musha concession. It is also the first operating mine in Africa to secure technical assistance funding from the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to support environmental and social governance (ESG) initiatives across its operations. Rwanda, meanwhile, has set an ambitious goal to double its mineral production value from $1.1 billion in 2024 to $2.2 billion by 2029, with mining companies like Trinity Metals playing a central role in achieving this target.
