    How do you assess the global dependence of the technology industry on China and what opportunities does this present for Almonty Industries?

    'As China controls roughly 83% of the global tungsten supply, the world has felt much of the ongoing supply chain problems stemming from the country’s dominance in the technology industry. With tungsten being an integral raw material needed in the production of semiconductors, batteries, vibrators in phones, and even the electrical circuit boards for the screens in the phones, other countries, such as the U.S, have been heavily impacted by China’s recovering supply chain, in which demand and prices have increased.

    This comes after months of Chinese COVID-related disruptions, however, other tungsten miners outside of China, such as Almonty Industries, are seeing increased opportunities to diversify the supply by laying the groundwork for mines that will give manufacturers an alternative source of tungsten. For example, Almonty recently announced the reopening of its Sangdong Mine in South Korea, which gives hope that the tungsten stockpile will increase globally, breaking away from Chinese dependence.'

    "Unprecedented surge in electricity demand": Siemens Energy, Nordex, and hidden gem Stallion Uranium stand to benefit!

    Uranium demand is expected to skyrocket in the coming years. A doubling would come as no surprise. At the same time, uranium is expected to come from Western regions, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for the industry. Stallion Uranium is still a hidden gem, but this is likely to change soon. While new nuclear power plants are being planned and old ones restarted in the US, AI data centers are relying on gas-fired power plants. Siemens Energy is currently profiting handsomely from this trend. The company is set to release its quarterly figures today. It is already known that Siemens Energy plans to invest USD 1 billion in the US. Is there a threat of overcapacity? The Nordex share is losing some steam, partly due to cautious analyst commentary. At the same time, the company is starting the new year with a whole series of orders.

    The strategic reserve of critical raw materials and rare earths announced by the United States underscores the profound transformation underway in the commodities sector. Geopolitics is becoming a decisive factor in the valuation of raw material assets. States and governments, as a new and, in the future, the most important investor group, are prepared to pay high and strategically motivated prices to secure supply. Antimony Resources is set to benefit massively from this development. The Canadian company owns the largest antimony deposit in North America. Antimony is indispensable, particularly in military and security-critical applications.

    Failed mega-deals, strategic divestments, and quiet transformations away from the spotlight: the balance of power is currently shifting in the commodities sector. While one global industry heavyweight has abandoned its consolidation plans and is instead responding to geopolitical realities through targeted portfolio management, another player is working behind the scenes on an entirely new business model. At the same time, after several turbulent weeks, the gold market is once again sending clear signals, supported by surprisingly strong quarterly figures and high cash flow. For investors, this combination creates compelling opportunities spanning revaluation potential, defensive stability, and long-term structural tailwinds.
