Not all nickel is created equal: How Power Metallic Mines stands out from the crowd – Talon Metals and Magna Mining as role models

  • Mining
  • Nickel
  • PGEs
  • Electromobility
  • Batteries

The nickel market has been experiencing a split for some time now, forcing investors to rethink their strategies. At first glance, there is enough of this important industrial metal available, as Indonesia has flooded the markets in the past with material from its huge laterite deposits. But appearances can be deceiving. There have long been two markets for nickel: a market for bulk nickel, which is produced primarily in Indonesia with high energy consumption and questionable environmental standards, and a premium market for high-purity, ESG-compliant sulfide nickel, which is indispensable for the high-performance batteries of the Western automotive industry. While prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) are capped by the Indonesian oversupply, strategists such as Tesla and GM are paying significant premiums behind closed doors for material that is not only chemically pure but also geopolitically and ecologically sound. In this exclusive club of North American nickel projects, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself as one of the most exciting stocks. With its high-grade NISK discovery in Québec, the Company occupies precisely the niche that Donald Trump has declared a matter of national security through the US "One Big Beautiful Bill" legislation.

Taking advantage of the crash: How Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver are poised for the silver boom

  • Mining
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Commodities
  • Investments

The sharp sell-off in precious metals on January 30 caught many investors off guard. Silver fell by as much as 34%, while gold declined by a more moderate 12%. This abrupt correction has unsettled markets, yet it may also be obscuring a significant opportunity. A structural supply deficit in silver is meeting with exploding demand from industry and technology. This imbalance forms the basis for a potentially powerful next phase in the silver cycle. Three companies appear particularly well-positioned to benefit from this dynamic: Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver. We take a closer look at their strategies.

These investment specialists pay high dividends: RE Royalties, Mutares, DWS – Growth and dividends are not mutually exclusive!

  • renewableenergy

Nowadays, anyone who talks too much about dividends can quickly be labeled "old-fashioned." Why settle for a 6 or 10% return when stock prices seem to be skyrocketing every day? But trees do not grow to the sky. Recently, investors were abruptly reminded of this by the sudden crash in gold and silver. While the masses often chase the next big thing, successful investors sometimes pursue very different strategies. Warren Buffett made a fortune with investments that others considered boring. The companies mentioned here pay high dividends - RE Royalties, even 13% p.a. - and continue to grow. Not exciting enough? Perhaps. But often, this is exactly how money is made in the long term.

Uranium rush in the Athabasca Basin: Stallion Uranium follows in the footsteps of NexGen Energy – an opportunity for Cameco too?

  • CriticalMetals
  • PreciousMetals
  • Energy

The global energy industry is currently experiencing a renaissance that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. Driven by the insatiable appetite for electricity of AI data centers and the geopolitical imperative to become independent of fossil fuel imports, nuclear power is making a comeback as an indispensable source of base load power. However, the nuclear power comeback is facing a harsh reality: the supply of nuclear fuel is lagging behind demand. While reactors are running longer and new ones are coming online, suppliers' inventories are running low. This structural supply deficit has sparked a race for the few remaining world-class deposits. The center of this search is in Saskatchewan, Canada, more specifically in the southwestern Athabasca Basin. A clear hierarchy has emerged here. Industry giant Cameco must produce, developer NexGen Energy has proven the geological potential, and explorer Stallion Uranium has secured the strategically crucial land package to cause a sensation with the next big discovery. We get to the bottom of the details.

War on the horizon, cold winter, and unresolved energy issues! CHAR Technologies has the answers

  • cleantech
  • renewableenergy
  • Sustainability
  • Energy

Despite all the geopolitical uncertainties, the capital markets are experiencing the largest and most powerful commodity rally of all time. This is driving up input costs for industry, further fueling already stubborn inflation. The fact that tariffs, wage increases, and high resource prices are affecting store shelves also implies significantly higher interest rates in the near future. Investors should consider alternatives and, especially for highly valued stocks, set tight stop-loss limits. However, with regard to unresolved energy issues, there are innovative solutions that can even be purchased on the stock market. Cleantech specialist CHAR Technologies has an interesting business model that makes sense in all weather conditions. A closer look reveals good medium-term prospects.

DroneShield disappoints! Plug Power fights for survival! American Atomics stock poised for an overdue rally?!

  • Hydrogen
  • Defense

Tech analyst Pip Klöckner paints a clear picture for 2026: he expects NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to become the world's most influential energy lobbyist. Without additional, reliable energy, data centers cannot operate - and without data centers, no one will buy NVIDIA chips. Meta is already fully committed to nuclear energy, underlining how critical stable baseload power has become in the AI race. American Atomics stands to benefit from this development. After all, uranium is needed regardless of who builds the nuclear power plants or ultimately wins the AI arms race. Importantly, American Atomics is developing several promising projects directly in the United States. The AI-driven energy boom has also lifted hydrogen stocks in the past, including Plug Power, but the euphoria has faded, and the Copmany is now fighting for survival. And what about DroneShield? The drone defense specialist's shares have taken a sharp hit in recent days. Was the sell-off triggered by the latest quarterly figures, or is something else at play?

Is antimony the new tungsten? Why Antimony Resources could become a similar story to Almonty Industries

  • CriticalMetals

Out of the niche and into the spotlight! Antimony was considered a forgotten metal for decades until geopolitical upheavals shifted the focus to critical metals. Today, it is at the center of a geopolitical and economic realignment because it is indispensable for numerous high-tech and defense applications. China, a long-time dominant supplier, has drastically restricted its exports, leading to noticeable supply bottlenecks in many industries, from battery production to military equipment, and driving prices to historic levels. These restrictions have destabilized strategic supply chains and prompted Western governments, such as the US, to take massive security measures. Analysts and the media emphasize that this shortage is not just a temporary market phenomenon, but an industrial policy issue that affects production, prices, and investment worldwide. Canadian explorer Antimony Resources is just beginning to tell its story, which in its early stages shows many parallels to Almonty Industries. It is worth taking a closer look.

The hunt for the cancer pill from BioNTech & Co.: Why Eli Lilly's billion-dollar bet is a wake-up call for Vidac Pharma

  • Cancer

It is one of the oldest rules in the biotech sector: when the big pharmaceutical companies can no longer grow on their own, they open their coffers. The latest billion-dollar deal between US giant Eli Lilly and Dresden-based startup Seamless Therapeutics is more than just a headline – it is a wake-up call for the entire industry. Eli Lilly, now one of the most valuable companies in the world, is desperately seeking innovations to secure its pipeline beyond its booming weight-loss injections. This hunger for new mechanisms of action inevitably focuses attention on small, specialized companies researching revolutionary approaches. In this environment, Vidac Pharma is becoming the focus of strategic investors. The Company is working on an approach that is as elegant as it is radical: it aims to starve cancer rather than poison it by manipulating its metabolism. While Eli Lilly and BioNTech are spreading their billions across a wide range of areas, Vidac is delivering precisely the kind of specialized "deep science" that is often lacking in the pipelines of the big players.
