US oil reserves are shrinking, and at the same time, demand forecasts are being revised upward by OPEC and the International Energy Agency. The reason for this is the assumption that the Corona pandemic will calm down in the current year and will ultimately lead to an increase in global oil demand.
In general, commodity prices are picking up on the expectation of an economic recovery. Thus, gold has also left the lows of 2 weeks ago and is currently struggling to break the critical USD 1,750 mark. The first attempt was rejected.

    SunMirror AG - Successful placement of convertible bond

    SunMirror AG is committed to implementing lean processes through its holding structure, enabling the Company to react quickly to trends in the commodity markets.

    SunMirror's portfolio includes iron ore, gold, cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, rare earths and tin. The tin sector, in particular, is extremely interesting at the moment, as the conflict in Myanmar continues to smolder with no end in sight. Already in 2020, China bought half of the world's tin supply. Since the crisis in Mynamar, the price of tin has increased by about 70%. SunMirror owns a property in Australia, 23 km northeast of Marble Bar, where lithium, tantalum and tin were mined until 1986. However, since this was done by simple artisanal means, one suspects great potential in this area.

    On April 12, 2021, SunMirror raised fresh capital of USD 10 million through the placement of a convertible bond. If the exploration of the area mentioned above is successful, then there is enough capital to start mining lithium, tin and tantalum again. One can look forward to further company news.

    88 Energy Limited - High-risk investment with a great opportunity

    A stock that is currently much discussed on Reddit is 88 Energy Limited. Within a few weeks, the share price jumped over 900%, driven by news, reaching a high of USD 0.0919 on April 5. After that, there were problems with the exploration well and the price collapsed to USD 0.011.

    On April 12, 2021, the Company published an update. The sidewall cores taken in the Merlin-1 drill hole were analyzed on the surface before being sent to the laboratory for further analysis. Tests were taken in white and ultraviolet light to tease out fluorescence. Fluorescence is considered an indicator of the presence of oil. In the published photos, the fluorescence is clearly visible.

    David Wall, the CEO of 88 Energy, sees the cores' tests as further evidence of the presence of oil. A list of expected results is to be published in the coming days. From today's point of view, it is safe to say that no oil has been found so far and that it will probably be necessary to wait until next winter in Alaska before drilling can continue. Should oil be found, 645 million barrels of potential have been promised.

    Gazprom - Light and shadow

    The news at Gazprom is literally overflowing. Let's start with the bad news. On April 13, 2021, it became known that Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (AKK) is said to have signaled a concession to the US on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany. The US has been trying to prevent the completion of the pipeline for some time. AKK wants to regulate the purchase of gas from Russia and make it dependent on Russia's behavior, among other things.

    Now for the good news: On April 12, 2021, the feasibility study for the possible new pipeline between Russia and China via Mongolia was approved. The new pipeline is to be called Power of Siberia 2. The study is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

    On April 14, 2021, we also heard from Russia that Gazprom plans to distribute half of its net profit to shareholders. That is equivalent to about USD 0.3176 per ADR share. As a result, the share gained more than 6%.

    SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION! Barrick Mining and Plug Power unstoppable! Globex Mining shares too cheap!? Gold price to USD 5,000?

    The gold rush has hit Barrick Mining shares. They rose by over 20% within just a few days. On the one hand, the gold price continues to rise, with experts already eyeing USD 5,000 per ounce. In addition, spectacular results from the Fourmile project in Nevada are causing euphoria, potentially marking one of the most significant gold discoveries of this century! Nevada is also home to Globex Mining, where initial rock samples yielded spectacular results. The stock shows significant catch-up potential and, at the same time, offers risk diversification. Meanwhile, Plug Power shares are also unstoppable at the moment, rising by almost 50% within two weeks. Short sellers had speculated on insolvency, but the hydrogen specialist seems to be turning the corner. In any case, analysts have doubled their price target.

    Gold boom boosts critical metals! Another 100% with Power Metallic, BYD, Hensoldt and RENK

    The geopolitical situation continues to escalate, but the stock markets continue to boom! Trade conflicts, sanctions, and military tensions dominate the headlines, but behind the front lines of a new Cold War, another competition has long been raging: the battle for access to critical metals. Without copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, or rare earths, not only would the e-mobility revolution come to a standstill, but defense technologies, digitalization, and the energy transition would also grind to a halt. Supply chains are coming under increasing pressure from geopolitical power games, and the battle for resources is becoming a key strategic factor in a multipolar world order. For Western industrialized nations, security of supply is becoming a matter of survival, and for investors, this is creating new opportunities. Anyone looking for tomorrow's winners today should keep a close eye on the global raw materials poker game.

    Suriname set to become a growth champion! Sranan Gold, Newmont, TotalEnergies

    There are many emerging economies. However, Suriname has some decisive advantages: the Guiana Shield rock formation runs through the country and offers ideal conditions, especially for companies in the gold sector. At the same time, Suriname is synonymous with oil – a giant oil field developed by TotalEnergies in collaboration with a local partner is set to go into production in 2028. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that Suriname's economy will grow by around 55% in the year production begins – reason enough to take a closer look at the country from an investor's perspective and highlight the opportunities it offers.
