Tungsten specialist Almonty Industries has capitalized on the momentum. Geopolitical risks and growing global concerns about raw material and security supply chains are increasingly leading Almonty to be seen as a reliable supplier and key provider of this critical metal in the West. With its listing on the US Nasdaq stock exchange, a significantly oversubscribed capital increase, and gross proceeds totaling USD 90 million, the Canadian company has moved up to a new league. It is now on a par with billion-dollar companies such as MP Materials in terms of securing scarce raw materials.

    Significantly Oversubscribed Offering

    It had already been anticipated. Yesterday, shares of Almonty Industries were traded for the first time on the US technology exchange Nasdaq. In addition, one of the world's leading tungsten producers announced the pricing of its US-guaranteed public offering of 20,000,000 common shares at an issue price of USD 4.50 per share. This will generate gross proceeds of USD 90 million for Almonty, enabling the Company, led by CEO Lewis Black, to enter into the next stage of its development. The offering is expected to close as early as today, subject to the fulfillment of customary closing conditions.

    The proceeds from the oversubscribed offering will be used to develop the tungsten oxide facility in Sangdong, further expanding the Company's position as a leading Western supplier of tungsten for the defense needs of the US and its allies. With the Sangdong mine in South Korea, which will celebrate the start of production later this year, more than 40% of the tungsten supply outside China is expected to be covered from 2027 onwards. Analyst Peter Thilo Hasler of Sphene Capital then expects revenues of CAD 483.4 million and EBIT of CAD 198.8 million.

    Strategic Move with Foresight

    With its own tungsten oxide production and smelting operations, Almonty Industries will be able to become completely independent of the Chinese refining market in the future. They will become the only fully integrated tungsten source in a region with a stable legal system, which would be a clear, unique selling point. The US government has already taken note of this. In an official letter, the US Congress emphasized the strategic importance of the Company for the supply of critical raw materials to the US.

    Sell on Good News

    Following the announcement of the Nasdaq listing and the capital raise, short-term investors took profits after a weeks-long rally, putting pressure on Almonty's share price and causing it to drop nearly 12% to CAD 6.96. In the long term, however, the decisions to relocate to the US, list on the Nasdaq, and implement a capital measure that has propelled the Company into new spheres are clearly positive. After a period of consolidation, a renewed surge is likely. The next milestone is the start of production, which is expected before the end of this year.

    The war opens up opportunities in commodity stocks: Barrick Mining, Antimony Resources, and Freeport McMoRan in focus

    The war in the Persian Gulf has drastically shaken up the metals market. Until the end of January, gold, silver, copper, rare earths, and others were still the top performers in many portfolios. The debasement trade, the weak dollar, and geopolitical uncertainty drove prices higher. On top of that, there were significant supply shortages for silver and copper, as well as China's dominance in the extraction and processing of critical metals like antimony and rare earths. The current pullbacks in many stocks now offer opportunities for investors to enter the market.

    Copper and PGMs as Strategic Bottlenecks: Is Power Metallic Mines Coming into Focus for Rio Tinto, Lundin Mining, and Others?

    • PGMs

    The energy transition and the rapid expansion of digital infrastructure have ushered in a new era in the commodities sector. Copper and platinum group metals (PGMs) have become increasingly expensive. The copper market hit a record high of over USD 14,500/t in January of this year. The International Energy Agency (IEA) warns of a significant supply deficit that could reach about 30% of demand by 2035. While capital expenditures in the sector remain well below their peak, demand is exploding due to artificial intelligence (AI) and new data centers. Industry giants such as Rio Tinto are positioning themselves through capital-intensive large-scale projects, while Lundin Mining is investing billions to scale up production in South America. For investors, however, the focus is increasingly shifting toward the quality and jurisdiction of new discoveries. This is where Power Metallic Mines comes into the spotlight: the explorer has identified a polymetallic system in the Canadian province of Québec that significantly exceeds the average grades of major producers, making the company a highly attractive takeover candidate.

    Multi-Billion-Dollar Defense Deal in Canada: Volatus Aerospace Secures Major Contract - Early Investors Take Note

    • aerospace

    The Canadian government is fundamentally changing its defense procurement strategy. In the future, 70% of defense spending is to remain within the country - a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for domestic technology providers. One company that seems tailor-made for this is Volatus Aerospace. But while many see the defense boom as merely a source of short-term profits, the Ontario-based drone specialist is pursuing a different strategy. It is not about individual weapon systems, but rather an integrated platform that has already been tested in everyday civilian use.
