The current energy crisis makes us painfully aware of how much we have slept through the restructuring of our energy supply in recent decades. The famous scientist Carl Sagan explained in a speech already in 1990, 32 years ago, why a restructuring of the energy supply makes sense completely apart from the effects of the greenhouse effect. Namely, reducing dependence on difficult supplier countries, increasing energy security by extension of fossil resources, and stimulating the economy by creating new industries. Now, finally, we seem to be on the right track. Shareholders can also benefit greatly - if they back the right horses.

    Allkem - Planned tripling of production

    One of the most important raw materials in the energy transition is the element lithium. It is needed mainly for the production of powerful electricity storage systems. It is, therefore, essential both for electromobility and for the construction of grid storage systems to increase supply security and compensate for production fluctuations in renewable power generation by solar and wind energy.

    One of the most important lithium producers is the Australian Allkem Group. The Company, which previously operated under the name "Orocobre Ltd.", has been one of the top 5 lithium producers worldwide since its merger with Galaxy Resources. In the process, Allkem reported a record profit of USD 337.2 million for the 2021/2022 financial year and is planning further major steps: by 2026, production is to be tripled, thus achieving a 10% share of the global market.

    Shareholders can be satisfied with the performance: the share has already gained over 76% over the year and is chasing one high after the next. Analysts continue to see upside potential for the stock.

    Infinity Stone Ventures - One-stop store for critical raw materials of the energy transition

    In addition to lithium, other elements and compounds are critical to the success of the energy transition. For example, graphite is used as anode material in batteries and accumulators, and the production of high-strength steel for wind turbines requires elements such as boron and manganese. Copper, cobalt and nickel are also increasingly in demand.

    One company that is positioning itself as a one-stop store for critical elements of the energy transition is Canada's Infinity Stone Ventures. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Company has several projects in the mining-friendly regions of Ontario and Quebéc and is pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy. It recently added 3,850 hectares to its James Bay Lithium Quarter land holdings. As a result, the Company now owns three lithium projects in the region: Taiga, Hellcat and Camaro. The latter is adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals' Corvette lithium trend discovered in 2017.

    Recently, Infinity Stone announced that it had contracted Axiom Exploration Group to conduct an exploration drilling program in the Camaro and Hellcat blocks. In addition to mapping and sampling the first 21 identified pegmatites (assemblages of lithium-bearing rocks of igneous origin), the identification of new pegmatites is part of the program. To do this, Axiom, which has specialized experience with so-called LCT pegmatites (LCT: lithium, cesium, tantalum), is relying on a self-developed "exploration toolkit" using artificial intelligence and machine learning models.

    Infinity Stone CEO Zayn Kalyan said the Company expects to use Axiom to rapidly develop several lithium properties in the James Bay region and make the most of its exploration budget. Infinity Stone also announced news for its Rockstone graphite project in the province of Ontario. SGS Labs has been contracted to conduct a flotation and hydrometallurgical test program, including the assay of a 2.7 kg sample. The aim here is to investigate the possibility of increasing the purity level of battery-grade material.

    Currently, the Company is still in an early stage of its development and is valued relatively low at around CAD 18 million. Positive newsflow and project progress should boost the share price.

    FREYR Battery - Sustainable gigafactory from Norway

    While materials for the energy transition are in hot demand, what - and above all, how - it is made is just as important. Here, too, sustainability is key. The Norwegian company FREYR Battery shows how to integrate this into its production. The specialist for particularly long-lasting, semi-solid lithium-ion batteries is currently planning to build a gigafactory whose energy supply for production will be covered entirely by hydropower. To this end, an agreement was signed a few days ago with the British Company Mpac for the supply of a production line. Both companies have already worked together in the past.

    The Norwegians have also brought competent partners on board on other fronts. For example, a joint venture has been set up with the Japanese Nidec Corporation, a specialist in the manufacture of precision motors for the automotive industry, to build giant electricity storage systems for manufacturing companies so that they can temporarily store regeneratively produced electricity to enable stable, sustainable production.

    On the stock market, FREYR Battery has been one of the darlings of recent months, with its share price roughly doubling since June. But analysts see further room for improvement: according to the consensus estimate of seven analysts, the share should still be able to gain around 40% in the next twelve months.


    The energy turnaround is inevitable not only from an ecological but also from an economic and political point of view. Even in critical times on the stock market, companies dealing with this issue will likely be among the winners. If you want to play it safe, you can bet on established players such as Allkem, and FREYR Battery is also one of the beneficiaries of the change. However, the most exciting securities are likely to be those of companies still in the early stages, such as Infinity Stone Ventures.

    Gold and silver – New record highs! Keep an eye on Barrick, Agnico Eagle, Desert Gold, and First Majestic!

    • Silver
    • Commodities

    Silver prices broke through the USD 53 mark for the first time at the beginning of the week, and gold is attempting to reach the USD 4,300 mark. Precious metal enthusiasts have been anticipating these moves for a long time, but traders on the futures exchanges clearly have not. In addition to extreme physical scarcity, the exploding prices are also attributed to heavy short squeezes. The physical silver market is under tremendous pressure as the availability of real metal to hedge the numerous futures transactions is severely limited. This imbalance is causing erratic market reactions and driving the spot price into an almost exponential sell-off. The current rally in precious metals is driven by geopolitical uncertainty, industrial demand factors, and the search for safe investments. In times of excessive government debt, the weakness of the US dollar is now also weighing on the market. Which companies should investors keep a close eye on now?

    SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION for commodity gems!? Nordex, Aurubis, Salzgitter, and Power Metallic Mines!

    Shares in the commodities and precious metals sector have been unstoppable in recent weeks. Power Metallic Mines could soon become an explosive latecomer to the rally. There are good reasons for this, as the CEO recently made clear. At Aurubis, the rally appears to be over for now. Analysts are skeptical, and the major shareholder is cashing in his shares - albeit in an unusual way. So should you sell now, too? The past few months have been unusually positive for Nordex. There is currently no sign of a slump in the wind business. What are analysts saying after the latest order intake?

    The trade conflict between the US and China is intensifying and reaching a new strategic dimension. Beijing is deliberately restricting exports of critical raw materials and rare earths that are indispensable for high-tech industries, defense, and the energy transition. Western industries are coming under pressure, security of supply is faltering, and prices are rising. Meanwhile, the beneficiaries of this situation, such as producers of critical raw materials, are experiencing a boom. What happens next, and what does the stock market newcomer TKMS have to do with it?
