In a world where securing critical raw materials is increasingly becoming a geopolitical priority, one company in particular is coming into focus: Almonty Industries Inc.

A new research report from GBC AG recommends buying the stock – with a target price of CAD 4.20, representing a price potential of over 100% from the current level. A link to the full report is available in this publication.

    A strategic resource company with vision

    Tungsten is essential for high-tech industries – from semiconductors to aerospace and defense. However, the lion's share of global production comes from China. This is precisely where Almonty comes in: With the Sangdong mine in South Korea, one of the world's largest tungsten deposits outside of China, the Company aims to reduce Western dependency and establish a stable, conflict-free supply chain.

    Sangdong – Production start in 2025, and mine life of over 90 years

    With a well-structured development plan and an expected mine life of over nine decades, Sangdong is the cornerstone of Almonty's strategy. The ore deposit boasts excellent grades and low operating costs. The planned integration of a downstream oxide processing plant and future molybdenum production will further increase value creation.

    Europe in focus: Panasqueira, Los Santos & Valtreixal

    In addition to its operations in South Korea, Almonty has a strong presence in Europe. The Panasqueira mine in Portugal has reliably delivered cash flows for over 100 years. With the Los Santos (reactivation of old material) and Valtreixal (development pipeline in Spain) projects, the Company offers additional growth options - all with moderate capital requirements.

    Investment Highlights

    • Clear upside potential: Target price of CAD 4.20 (currently CAD 2.06) – over 100% upside potential according to GBC analysis

    • Geopolitical tailwind: Western countries are focusing on raw material security – Almonty stands to benefit directly

    • Transformation phase: The start of production in Sangdong is approaching, and revenues could increase tenfold by 2027

    • Diversified locations: South Korea, Portugal and Spain – Low political risks

    • Attractive valuation: Even before the start of production – but with a long lead time and established partners

    Conclusion:

    Almonty Industries is more than just a small producer – the Company is on its way to becoming a key strategic supplier for Western industries. For those looking to participate in the de-globalization of critical supply chains and the boom of industrial future technologies, this stock - with 100% upside potential - deserves a closer look right now.

    Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?

    In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

    Alternative to Barrick Mining and Equinox Gold: Why Maduro's fall could drive gold prices higher and make LAURION Mineral a strategic target

    The 2026 stock market year is beginning with a geopolitical earthquake whose tectonic shifts will be felt across global commodity markets for a long time to come. The direct intervention of the United States in Venezuela and the effective removal of President Nicolás Maduro have redefined the global security architecture virtually overnight. While Washington celebrates the move as a necessary restoration of democracy in the Western Hemisphere, geopolitical rivals Beijing and Moscow are responding with sharp rhetoric and brusque diplomatic protests. Uncertainty is spreading like wildfire – from the shores of Cuba, where the regime fears for its survival, all the way to Greenland, where major powers are increasingly competing aggressively for strategic spheres of influence. With gold already rising for months amid mounting uncertainty and monetary policy concerns, investors continue to flee to the safe haven. However, while established producers such as Barrick and Equinox absorb the first wave of panic-driven inflows, strategic investors are turning their attention to the few remaining safe jurisdictions such as Canada. Here, specialized explorers like LAURION Mineral Exploration hold precisely the kind of assets that are becoming the most valuable currency in an uncertain world.

    Battery supply on a knife's edge – NEO Battery Materials becomes an established industrial partner

    The push for e-mobility and rising demand from defense applications are driving a quantum leap in battery technology. At the same time, China is increasingly putting the brakes on as an industrial partner. Beijing recently imposed export restrictions on high-performance Li-ion aggregates. This makes it a real challenge for manufacturers to equip their products with high-quality energy storage. The latest announcement from NEO Battery Materials is therefore a game-changer! Certification as an OEM supplier has been completed. NEO Battery Materials, a company that is at the beginning of industrial scaling and technical differentiation, presents itself as a specialist in silicon-based anode materials with a secured production hub in South Korea. Particularly relevant for investors: high-performance batteries are increasingly being treated as critical infrastructure in Western industrial and defense policy, meaning they are structurally tied to priority investment areas. Geopolitically motivated trade barriers must be navigated carefully. Time is of the essence.
