Building a pyramid requires patience, precision, and perseverance – just like the rise of Almonty Industries (TSX: AII | ISIN: CA0203987072 | NASDAQ: ALM) to become the most important tungsten producer outside China. After a spectacular NASDAQ debut, the stock recently came under pressure. But now, everything points to a comeback – with strategic global significance. As the saying goes, the profit is in buying, and those who have been mere spectators of the unique tungsten producer's rapid share price development in recent months now have a second chance to get in.

    Things are getting more challenging

    When looking at the construction of a pyramid, it quickly becomes clear: the higher you climb, the more challenging the work becomes. At the beginning, structure and a solid foundation are key - but the truly challenging tasks come in the final stages, where precision, timing, and resources must work in perfect harmony.

    Almonty Industries is at precisely this point: the completion of the world's most significant tungsten mine outside China – Sangdong in South Korea – is imminent. What many investors only vaguely recognize: Tungsten is not only a rare strategic metal, but also highly complex to process. Its importance for the defense, aviation, and high-tech industries is enormous. It is no surprise, then, that NATO ranks tungsten among the 12 most critical raw materials.

    China currently controls around 70% of global tungsten production and over 80% including processing – but that is about to change. With Sangdong, Almonty is not just building a mine, but is creating a geopolitical alternative. A controlled processing chain, existing cash flow generating mines, and initial supply contracts with US defense partners position the Company as a strategic raw materials champion in the West.

    Between Hype and Hysteria: The IPO Effect

    The NASDAQ listing on July 14, 2025, was a major milestone: The capital increase at USD 4.50 per share was oversubscribed, bringing in USD 90 million for the Company – an amount that, just a year earlier, corresponded to its entire market value, a masterstroke!

    But this was followed shortly afterwards by an abrupt slide in the share price: On July 29, just two weeks after the IPO, the share price hit a low of USD 3.16. The reason? Typical IPO volatility. Short sellers, profit-taking, and algorithmic high-frequency trading – the mix caused the share price to plummet, even though the strong fundamental outlook remained intact.

    Imagine that at the top of a pyramid structure, a stone weighing several tons starts to slide – panic ensues. But construction continues, and the goal remains unchanged. Almonty will reach the top of the pyramid. With its tungsten mine, Panasqueira, management has already proven its expertise, as this documentary impressively demonstrates.

    Turnaround initiated – Analysts remain bullish

    A trend reversal in the share price was already evident on July 30, accompanied by stabilizing revenues. Analysts are now confirming the Company's solid foundation:

    ° B. Riley confirms its price target of USD 6.00
    ° Alliance Global Partners even sees USD 6.75

    For many investors, the valuation at its recent low was an invitation to get in – so striking is the gap between the Company's potential and the panic-driven pricing.

    Let's summarize

    Almonty Industries (TSX: AII | ISIN: CA0203987072 | NASDAQ: ALM) is not a short-term gamble, but a geopolitically vital supplier of raw materials in a highly sensitive market. Those who follow the pyramid through to its completion understand: Tungsten is needed – reliably, from the West, and on a scalable basis. With the Sangdong mine nearing completion, rising geopolitical interest, and fresh capital from the US market, the stage is set for the next price level. Those who think long term will recognize that the top of the pyramid is within reach.

    Africa's hardest currency: New perspectives from Barrick Mining, Compass Gold, and Desert Gold

    A noticeable shift is currently taking place in African mining, as mineral resources are increasingly being viewed as the continent's hardest currency. This trend was highlighted at the African Mining Indaba in Cape Town in February, where the concept of a "Bank of African Settlements" was discussed. The stated goal of this initiative is to establish mineral resources as bankable assets to reduce dependence on volatile fiat currencies such as the US dollar. For many African nations, this is a direct response to the harsh reality that some local currencies have depreciated by as much as 900% against the US dollar over the past two decades. At the same time, market data supports this trend, with foreign central banks' gold reserves exceeding their holdings of US government bonds for the first time since 1996. Combined with growing efforts toward political self-determination and the expansion of reliable infrastructure, this shift is opening up attractive opportunities for investors. In this environment, industry heavyweight Barrick Mining is consolidating its industrial base in Mali, while emerging explorers such as Compass Gold and Desert Gold are actively searching for new deposits.

    The market for drones and autonomous aviation systems is undergoing dynamic expansion worldwide. Applications have long since extended far beyond hobby drones: energy companies monitor pipelines from the air, authorities secure critical infrastructure, and armed forces rely on autonomous systems for reconnaissance or defense. At the same time, a new billion-dollar market is growing: counter-drone technology (C-UAS). Industry analysts expect that the global market for counter-drone technologies alone could reach a volume of over USD 20 billion by the end of the decade.

    The gold market is experiencing a historic shift in 2026. While geopolitical crises and a weakening dollar are driving the price above USD 5,300, central banks are massively increasing their reserves. This combination of global uncertainty and strategic demand is giving the precious metal new momentum. At the same time, central banks are signaling further interest rate cuts, which is giving gold an additional boost as an asset class. In this environment, producers are coming into focus, led by industry leader Newmont, promising explorer Lahontan Gold, which is on its way to production, and stable producer Agnico Eagle.
