The battery metal lithium is again on everyone's lips. The starting point in 2021 was once again the political closing of ranks after the German elections. The proponents of quick action in favor of the climate predominantly focus on electromobility, increasing the pressure, especially in the battery industry. The perfect battery has not yet been developed. The market is betting on a continuation of lithium-ion technology in the absence of alternatives. Another trend has just emerged in recent days. The precious metal shares are set to jump! No wonder because the inflation figures are taking on a momentum of their own, which the FED, in particular, has probably vastly underestimated.

    Standard Lithium - After the hype, now the S-K-S formation

    Now the technical chart formation is complete. Technicians look with astonished eyes at the trading formation that has formed at Standard Lithium. The current formation is referred to as a shoulder-head-shoulder formation, or S-K-S for short. In technical terms, this is a top formation with a high sell-off probability. From a systematic point of view, the middle of the formation, i.e. the head from the neckline of the shoulders, is mirrored downwards and then shows the potential for a correction. For the SLI share, this means a downward path of about CAD 3.50, starting with the break of the important neckline at about CAD 12.25. The correction scenario is also only valid for a break in this line; the analysis cancels if it does not occur.

    Apart from the meanwhile very high valuation, Standard Lithium continues operationally as planned. The development of the largest lithium project in North America is progressing. The latest pre-feasibility study on the SWA project in the USA sounds very promising. 30,000 tons of lithium hydroxide could be produced there in the future over a period of 20 years. Such a project would make a good lithium producer, but first, a good USD 900 million would have to be invested.

    Due to the good position of Standard Lithium, investors are allowed to dream: The lithium giants are currently under pressure to deliver, and this means more developments or strategic acquisitions. Standard has several projects and is already well advanced. But with a market capitalization of USD 1.7 billion, the share is certainly not a lightweight. Nevertheless, a takeover would be feasible for a group like Albemarle, worth almost USD 32 billion. The technical stop for Standard Lithium remains unchanged at CAD 11.80.

    Prospect Ridge Resources - Best situation for metals in Canada

    A new company from the precious metals sector is making the rounds. Prospect Ridge Resources (PRR) is a Canadian explorer in the precious metals sector. The Company's two critical projects are in Terrace, British Columbia and Val d'Or, Quebec. The debt-free company owns over 70,000 hectares, where recent notable discoveries in gold and silver have taken place. Some of the projects originated from Placer Gold's former mines. In the Douglas Creek section, which is still active today, there have been historic bonanza discoveries of up to 10 ounces. Such "golden nuggets" are unique and enhance the character of the land area.

    Located 10 km north of Terrace, the "Holy Grail" project is adjacent to the Golden Triangle. The property is easily accessible and served by several roads, logging roads, and a three-phase power line. It allows for cost-effective exploration and ensures the feasibility of engineering work. The Holy Grail block includes 12 high-grade gold and silver hard rock mines within a 15 km radius. Recent exploration dating back to 2020 has shown several outcrops with exceptional gold values of up to 984 g/t over an area of 3.5 by 6.5 km. Current activities include soil sampling, UAV surveys and a 2000m drill program. The second project near Val d'Or covers 839 hectares and consists of 15 claims. Here too, over CAD 100,000 will soon be invested in exploration.

    Prospect Ridge Resources' shares have been listed in Frankfurt since the beginning of November. The number of fully diluted shares is 59.6 million, bringing the current value to CAD 103 million. In Canada, the average daily turnover is 150,000 shares. The PRR share is an excellent value to participate in the current gold and silver rally.

    American Lithium - Quadrupled in only 3 months

    The share of American Lithium was not so well known until the summer when the rocket ignited. In only 3 months, the share price quadrupled from EUR 1 to over EUR 4. What happened? In the last few days, a landmark court decision gave the Company back ownership of 32 disputed concessions on Peru's Falchani and Macusani projects. The award went to Macusani Yellowcake SAC, a Peruvian subsidiary of American Lithium. The ruling restores full legal title to these concessions, allowing technical work to continue. Perhaps some investors have successfully speculated on this ruling.

    American Lithium Corp. is actively engaged in acquiring, exploring, and developing lithium projects throughout the Americas. Its primary focus is on the strategically located TLC lithium mudstone project in Nevada's richly mineralized Esmeralda lithium district. With its investments, American Lithium aims to enable a shift to a new energy paradigm. The Falchani and Macusani lithium and uranium development projects in southeastern Peru are essential in this regard, as they are located within good infrastructure and have already undergone a preliminary economic assessment.

    After the rapid increase, the value is now worth over CAD 1 billion. The hope is, of course, based on the strongly rising prices for lithium, as these have doubled to CNY 20,000 since August 2021. The theme remains in vogue, for now, giving new stocks ever greater momentum. Set a tight stop on American Lithium at EUR 3.50 or the equivalent of CAD 5.00 because the title is still an explorer.


    The hype in the metal sector is already well advanced. The recently very strongly risen protagonists such as Rock Tech, American or Standard Lithium have already run strongly. At Prospect Ridge Resources, a new success story could emerge.

    Sell RENK Shares? Buy Standard Lithium or Globex Mining After the Correction?

    Commotion at RENK! Major shareholder KNDS has unexpectedly cashed out. The sale of about 5% of RENK shares raised approximately EUR 269 million. Analysts find the reasoning behind the move implausible. Does KNDS perhaps intend to develop fewer land systems in the future? However, experts see no reason to panic. There are clear arguments in favour of buying Globex Mining Enterprises. Following the recent correction, the shares of this resource incubator appear attractively valued. For investors seeking reduced-risk exposure to the highly profitable exploration sector, the stock deserves close attention. The risks of individual explorers is illustrated by the performance of Standard Lithium. While Globex shares have risen 20% this year, Standard Lithium is down roughly 20%. The key question is whether recent news flow can trigger a turnaround.

    100% Rally Started? MP Materials, Standard Lithium, and Power Metallic Mines in Focus!

    Has the 100% rally already begun for Power Metallic Mines? At least that is the level of upside potential suggested by analysts. The copper explorer continues to report strong drilling results from its flagship project in Canada, and the stock is gradually gaining momentum. Listening to the CEO, it becomes clear that the share may still have significant upside potential ahead. Potential also exists at MP Materials, the only producer and processor of rare earth elements in the US. However, the company now carries a market capitalization of around USD 12 billion. Most recently, it released quarterly results — the key question is whether the upward trend can continue. A similar trend has recently started to form at Standard Lithium as well. The company also reported on its first-quarter 2026 developments. Investors are now eagerly awaiting the final investment decision for the South-West Arkansas (SWA) project. The timing of that decision remains a key focal point for the market.

    BUY COMMODITY STOCKS NOW? Standard Lithium, MP Materials, and Strategic Resources Under Review!

    • GreenSteel
    • CriticalMetals
    • Lithium
    • Batteries
    • VTM

    Commodity stocks are known for their sharp price surges. With Strategic Resources, there are good reasons why the stock could take off soon. For one, with BlackRock, the company possesses an exciting project in the critical minerals sector. The company aims to build a domestic supply chain for vanadium-based battery materials. The stock has only recently started trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is still considered a genuine under-the-radar opportunity. MP Materials achieved its stock market breakthrough last year, with the entry of the US government. However, the subsequent rally was followed by a sell-off. The question now is whether the current rebound is sustainable. And what about Standard Lithium? The company has recently reported several operational milestones. However, the market is still waiting for a far more decisive catalyst.
