The 'Apple moment' of strategic metals! How Almonty Industries is securing Western sovereignty and emulating Glencore and Rio Tinto
The mining industry is going through a phase that could be described as the 'Apple moment' of strategic metals. Similar to how Apple ushered in a new technological era two decades ago by combining proprietary hardware and closed software architecture, Almonty Industries now occupies a key position for NATO's industrial and military sovereignty. While the public focus has long been on digitalization, critical raw materials are now moving to the center of the geopolitical power architecture. In this context, tungsten has become as indispensable to the modern defense and semiconductor industries as the operating system is to smartphones.

The USD 200 billion poker game: Why a merger between Glencore and Rio Tinto could pave the way for Pasinex Resources
The 2026 stock market year began with a rumor that could shake the foundations of the global commodities industry. In trading rooms from London to Toronto, there were increasing signs that industry giants Rio Tinto and Glencore were once again considering a merger. It would be a historic mega-merger, creating a hegemony with an estimated value of USD 200 billion. Initial exploratory talks between the two companies have now been confirmed. But while analysts are still discussing the antitrust hurdles, the "smart money" is already looking to the second tier. After all, such a mega-merger would have one primary goal: absolute control over the critical metals of the energy transition, above all, copper and zinc. In the shadow of these giants, flexible, high-grade players such as Pasinex Resources are emerging as the real winners, as they deliver precisely the agility and production quality that the cumbersome large corporations lack.

Geopolitical flashpoint: Why Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and BHP stand to benefit from trade wars
The global race for critical resources has entered an explosive phase. Driven by decarbonization and technological progress, structural shortages prevail. But now geopolitical power struggles are further heating up the situation: protectionist trade barriers and strategic control over supply chains are artificially reducing supply and catapulting the importance of independent producers into new spheres. In this environment, the strategies of commodity giants and emerging players are coming into sharp focus. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the positioning of Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and BHP.

Is the next super mine emerging here? Power Metallic Mines, Vale, Rio Tinto
History has shown what happens when resource properties turn into super mines.

The Canadian company Power Metallic Mines, active in the province of Québec, has also been able to continuously expand its NISK project in recent years. Now, the team led by CEO Terry Lynch sees even more potential there. Here, we discuss what gigantic raw material discoveries can mean and why Power Metallic Mines' polymetallic deposit is considered particularly interesting.

Shovels for the Commodity boom: Aspermont wins Rio Tinto as a customer with AI solution - Macquarie Group and family offices also on board
Gold is more expensive than ever! Critical metals such as tungsten, rare earths and lithium are making a spectacular comeback – in some cases, even the government is investing in producers. And in South America, Teck Resources and Anglo American are merging. All these events show that the commodities market is in flux like never before. Since US Vice President JD Vance's announcement at the Munich Security Conference last February, it has become clear that the old world order is over. New power blocs are emerging, and economies such as the EU and Canada must become independent. This can only be achieved with raw materials. One company that provides mining companies and raw material investors with a powerful tool in this market phase published a decisive corporate announcement a few weeks ago.

Interest rate poker and commodity chess: Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto in focus
Geopolitical tensions are the new market standard, not the exception. Trade conflicts are escalating globally, tariffs are becoming a chess game over commodities and influence, and military shifts are destabilizing supply chains. At the same time, central banks are hesitating to cut interest rates despite lower inflation, keeping the pressure high. In this turbulent environment, an understanding of macroeconomic forces determines profit or loss. Those who read the signs will find opportunities. Which of these three players—Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, and Rio Tinto—offers potential?

Everything is going electric – and this detail could make investors wealthy: Power Metallic Mines, Rio Tinto, Freeport-McMoRan
The future is electric – heating systems and vehicles are already running on electricity today. Those with their own rooftop solar panels welcome this shift, as solar energy becomes essentially free after the initial investment. But this transition also requires massive investment. Experts at EY report that global electrification will require 115% more copper to be mined over the next thirty years than has been mined in all of human history. The scale of the challenge is, therefore, enormous. Making copper mining sustainable is even more so. But there are solutions.

Global markets are trembling: trade wars are tearing supply chains apart, raw materials are becoming weapons, and gold is shining as the savior in times of crisis. With a record high of over USD 3,500 per ounce, the precious metal is taking centre stage - driven by inflation, geopolitical shock waves, and greedy central banks.
