From raw materials to vehicles: How Volkswagen, Avrupa Minerals, and BHP Group are driving the electric revolution
The global raw materials landscape will undergo tremendous change in 2026. While electromobility is driving demand for copper and zinc to unprecedented heights, geopolitical tensions and supply chain risks are forcing Western industrialized nations to rethink their strategies. The race for strategic minerals is intensifying, supply bottlenecks are looming, and price explosions are becoming more likely. In this volatile environment, Volkswagen, Avrupa Minerals, and BHP Group are stepping into the spotlight. We take a look at their respective situations.

Securing raw materials in Europe: How Avrupa Minerals, Altius Minerals, and Elemental Royalty Corporation are organizing supply chains
The EU is looking for domestic sources of copper, zinc, and strategic metals to secure its industrial base. Recent analyses by the European Court of Auditors show a dependence on imports for 10 of 26 critical minerals needed for the energy transition and modern defense systems. Despite the Critical Raw Materials Act, which aims to increase domestic production to 10% of demand, auditors identify bottlenecks in the financing and practical implementation of the requirements. At the same time, consultancies such as McKinsey are forecasting a significant increase in demand for materials for the energy transition, with annual growth rates in the single-digit percentage range through 2035. In this environment, specialized players are positioning themselves to provide access to deposits and manage capital risks for investors. We present three companies with a focus on Avrupa Minerals.

Europe steps on the gas! E-mobility and secure supply chains - Avrupa Minerals, BYD, VW, and Stellantis
The stock market year has gotten off to a turbulent start, but a new megatrend is gaining traction: critical metals! While 2025 was dominated by AI and high-tech stocks, raw material suppliers, essential for maintaining industrial competitiveness, are increasingly moving into focus. Over the past 12 months, they have been able to offer investors dream returns in the three- to four-digit range. At the same time, there has been hardly any growth on the NASDAQ since the beginning of the year. Former high-flyers like Palantir, Nvidia, and Strategy are currently trading below their 2025 highs. International commodity stocks dealing with the issue of "Western supply chains" have now moved up the list of top performers. Without strategic metals, the secure production of electrical infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and defense technology is not possible. It is therefore worthwhile for investors to rethink their tech portfolios and add good commodity stocks to their watch lists. Meanwhile, the automotive sector, under pressure for months, could be stabilizing after the sobering results of 2025. We take a closer look at the key players.

Rheinmetall, Bayer, Avrupa Minerals: Stocks for Europe's independence in defense, pharmaceuticals, and raw materials!
Europe is working feverishly to achieve independence. This applies, among other things, to defense, raw materials, and medicines. Investors can profit from these three stocks. Avrupa Minerals is developing raw material projects in Finland, Portugal, and other countries, skillfully diversifying to reduce risks. The stock is still largely unknown, but this is likely to change soon. Rheinmetall is a basic investment, although there was a noticeable drop in its share price last week. Are expectations too high? At the beginning of 2025, there were hardly any expectations for Bayer. This made the comeback of the company and its stock all the more spectacular. Recently, positive study results have once again caused excitement. The next blockbuster is in the pipeline.
