텅스텐 전문기업 알몬티대한중석은 강원도 영월군과 긴밀한 협력 속에 지역사회에 안정적으로 뿌리내리며, ‘광물자원 개발’이라는 산업적 비전을 넘어 지역과의 상생을 실천하는 기업으로 자리잡아가려 노력하고 있다고 밝혔다.

현재 알몬티대한중석이 재개발을 진행 중인 상동광산은 한때 세계적인 텅스텐 생산지로 명성을 떨쳤으며 지금은 세계 최대 비중국계 텅스텐 광산으로 다시 태어나는 중이다. 최근 주요 광물의 글로벌 공급망 재편과 함께 방산, 반도체, AI 등 미래 전략산업의 핵심 원료인 텅스텐의 공급 안정성이 주목받으면서, 상동광산은 대한민국의 전략자산으로서 그 중요성이 더욱 커지고 있다.

강원도와 영월군은 이에 따라 상동광산의 재개발이 지역 산업과 경제에 미치는 파급효과를 높이 평가하고, 다방면의 행정적·정책적 지원을 아끼지 않고 있다. 특히 영월군은 상동광산을 중심으로 새로운 지역성장 거점을 조성하기 위해 ‘기회발전특구’ 지정을 추진하고 있으며, 텅스텐을 기반으로 한 부가가치가 높은 관련 산업의 유치를 통해 지역 산업 생태계를 다변화할 계획이다.

영월군은 이에 따라 최근 광산 개발에 필요한 용천수 사용 허가 방안을 긍정적으로 검토하는 한편, 광산 내 기반시설 조성을 위한 도로 인허가와 관련해 약 5천만 원 상당의 영월군 예산을 지원하기로 했다. 지자체의 이 같은 적극적인 행보는 단순한 인허가를 넘어 민관 협력을 통해 지역경제를 살리는 구조를 만들어가려는 강한 의지를 보여준다.

알몬티대한중석 역시 이 같은 지원에 보답하듯 지역사회의 각종 행사에 적극적으로 참여해 지역과 더불어 발전하려는 상생정신을 실천해 왔다. 5월에 열린 제2회 작약꽃 축제에서는 어르신들과 취약계층을 위한 식사 바우처 100만 원어치를 제공했으며, 기업 홍보 부스를 통해 광산의 비전과 가치를 지역민들에게 소개하기도 했다. 4월에는 영월 단종문화제에서 상동고등학교 야구부와 함께 ‘칡줄다리기’ 행사에 참가해 총 9개 읍면 참가팀 중 2위를 수상했으며, 상동읍 부녀회에 100만 원의 후원금을 전달하며 마을 행사 운영에도 동참했다. 

알몬티대한중석 관계자는 “상동은 단순한 사업장이 아니라, 함께 숨 쉬며 살아가는 공동체의 일부”라며 “지자체와의 협력 속에서 지역 발전과 산업적 성과를 동시에 추구해 나갈 것”이라고 밝혔다.

텅스텐이라는 자원을 둘러싼 국가적 전략의 중심에서, 그리고 지역 사회의 일원으로서 알몬티대한중석은 오늘도 대한민국의 광물 주권을 되찾고 지역경제를 되살리는 일에 단단하게 앞장서고 있다.
