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.

    Gold USD 4,300 and Silver USD 53 – Buying frenzy at Silver North, First Majestic, Nel ASA, and JinkoSolar

    Silver has been shorted by many investment banks for several years because sufficient supply was available from Mexico and other producing countries. The tide has turned. Over the past 12 months, the precious metal has caught up with its big brother gold, gaining 54%. There are several reasons for the scarcity-driven rally: there are only around 250 active silver mines worldwide, compared to around 1,400 gold mines. In addition, silver has massively expanded its importance as an industrial metal: it is indispensable in high-tech, e-mobility, defense, and medical technology. As a result, less and less physical silver is available to investors, while inventories on the futures markets continue to decline. Now is the time to take a position in silver. Alongside industry giants such as First Majestic, Silver North is among the most promising beneficiaries of the new silver boom.

    Barrick Mining and Kobo Resources: Gold as security – Occidental Petroleum: Energy as opportunity

    In an era of geopolitical upheaval and monetary policy experimentation, tangible assets are gaining strategic importance. Gold remains a fundamental store of value, while the transformation of the energy sector is driving demand for critical raw materials. Even oil, despite volatile prices, retains its status as a geopolitical lever. In this environment, companies with access to these resources are well-positioned. Three players are in focus: the gold producer Barrick Mining, the exploration specialist Kobo Resources, and the oil and gas company Occidental Petroleum.
