Raw materials are the key to new technology. Whether silver, copper or other metals - many technologies, such as electric cars and solar panels, drive demand for metals. As these technologies triumph, so does the demand for raw materials. Using three stocks as examples, we explain how investors can profit.

    JinkoSolar: Where will it go from here?

    The JinkoSolar share is a real hot potato - in a positive sense! In the past three months alone, the stock has climbed by an impressive 47%. The reason is the great demand for solar modules and the good products of JinkoSolar. The Company scores high on both durability and efficiency. Both are points that are important to potential buyers of solar modules. The third factor is price. Here, too, the world market leader JinkoSolar is perfectly positioned. We remember the price war around solar modules about ten years ago. At that time, more and more German companies slid into bankruptcy. The reason: The Chinese were simply cheaper. At the end of this price war and the concentration of suppliers in Asia, JinkoSolar is the winner.

    With demand for solar panels continuing to grow, the Company is perfectly positioned. Despite the recent price gains, the stock still has some room to run. From EUR 55, however, the value could increasingly encounter resistance. Whether JinkoSolar will reach the EUR 74.10 mark from last year again so quickly is questionable. The Company is well-positioned, but the stock is also known for its volatility.

    Barsele Minerals: A plan - 18 months to go

    Barsele Minerals is another volatile stock. The Company partnered with mining giant Agnico Eagle to develop the Barsele project in Sweden. Barsele holds 45% of the project and Agnico Eagle 55%. A letter of intent now allows the young Company from Canada to take over the entire project. Barsele would have to raise CAD 45 million, and Agnico would have to sign over a 14.9% stake in its shares. In addition, there would be options to buy a further 6 million shares at CAD 1.25 per share. Agnico Eagle believes in the project's success and is convinced that it is better off with Barsele Minerals. The young Company plans to drill 30,000 meters over the next 18 months and upgrade the project to make it easy for Barsele to finance the complete takeover.

    The Barsele project represents promising gold deposits within an attractive infrastructure in northern Sweden. Sweden itself is a sought-after mining location and shines with corporate taxes of only 22%. In addition, the high environmental standards of the country meet the desire of many investors for sustainably mined raw materials. Since Agnico Eagle has entered into a letter of intent, which provides for a large part of the payment for the project in shares of Barsele Minerals, investors can take this as a sign of confidence. Currently, the stock is trading at CAD 0.75. There is still a lot of air until the exercise price of the options to be granted to Agnico Eagle with a strike price at CAD 1.25. Key data around Barsele looks promising. Investors should have the value on their radar.

    Newmont: Is Europe becoming attractive for the giant?

    Investors always have the Newmont share on their radar. The world's largest mining group generates around three-quarters of its sales with gold. In addition, there is a lucrative copper business. Newmont has benefited from rising commodity prices in recent quarters. Although the dividend yield is only around 2% and the share price potential is also limited for a big ship like Newmont, the share can be a solid addition to a portfolio for cautious investors. Since the Company has also been working on its costs recently, Newmont should be able to ride out fluctuations in the commodities market.


    Since companies like Newmont always have to replace their mined raw materials, the Company could even play a role in the constellation between Barsele Minerals and Agnico Eagle. Currently, the giant is not yet represented in Europe. As a promising project in a sought-after mining destination, Barsele Minerals could attract the interest of other majors. JinkoSolar, on the other hand, is not a takeover candidate. First, the Company itself is well-positioned, and second, it is already expensive. It is more likely that JinkoSolar will use its shares as a takeover currency.

    Europe's Path to Raw Materials Sovereignty: Key Roles for Lundin Mining, Boliden, and Avrupa Minerals

    Due to geopolitical developments, Europe is more compelled than ever to reduce its dependence on global supply chains by increasing its own production of base metals. With the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets to produce at least 10% of its strategic raw material needs domestically and process 40% itself by 2030. This urgency is underscored by forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and McKinsey, which expect a significant supply deficit of up to 30% for copper by 2035. According to experts, this deficit is driven by the global energy transition and the construction of data centers for artificial intelligence. According to analyses by S&P Global, the transformation requires not only capital but also a radical reorientation of industrial policy away from global just-in-time supply chains toward resilient, domestic clusters. In this complex landscape, the value chain is being reshaped, with companies such as Lundin Mining, Boliden, and Avrupa Minerals each occupying specific segments. We outline companies and business models and discuss opportunities for investors.

    GOLD WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE: WHY B2GOLD, KOBO RESOURCES, AND PERSEUS MINING ARE WORTH A LOOK RIGHT NOW

    • Mining

    • Sustainability

    Although the price of gold has fallen since its all-time high of over USD 5,500, the structural drivers of the boom, over-indebted nations, geopolitical turmoil, and massive central bank purchases, remain in place. However, those looking to profit from the gold rush through mining stocks don't have to invest in companies that accept environmental destruction and exploitation. Canadian producer B2Gold has demonstrated for years that responsible mining and cost efficiency are not mutually exclusive. Its Australian industry peer, Perseus Mining, operates sustainable mines in Africa with production costs amounting to less than a third of the current gold price. And the debt-free junior exploration company Kobo Resources is on the verge of its next major gold discovery in the Kossou Basin of Côte d'Ivoire, in the immediate vicinity of an existing Perseus mine.
