NEO Battery Materials is igniting the battery revolution in the West!
Drones, robotics, and e-mobility increasingly demand batteries with greater range, faster charging times, and lower costs. At the same time, the security of Chinese supply chains is deteriorating. This is precisely where NEO Battery Materials comes into play. With its silicon anodes (NBMSiDE®), the Company promises up to 70% higher energy density at over 60% lower production costs, while simultaneously establishing a Western supply chain suitable for defense applications. Recent orders and purchase agreements indicate that commercialization is now gaining strong momentum.

Volkswagen in a tight spot: Why European Lithium and Standard Lithium are now the more valuable players
The global electric vehicle revolution is facing its biggest test yet. China's looming export restrictions on critical battery raw materials threaten to destabilize Western manufacturers' supply chains from 2025 and increase production costs. But it is precisely these geopolitical tensions that are catapulting independent lithium producers into the spotlight. While established giants are fighting for their security of supply, agile players are benefiting from this power vacuum. The strategic maneuvers of Volkswagen, European Lithium, and Standard Lithium reveal who the real winners of this upheaval will be.

China closes the door – NEO Battery Materials opens a window to profits in the drone market
From November 2025, China will tighten export controls. The export of high-performance batteries and related materials will become significantly more difficult. This political decision is turning the global supply chain for electric mobility and high-tech upside down. While established players outside China struggle, a small Canadian company is catapulting itself into a unique position. NEO Battery Materials has positioned itself in the right place at precisely the right time. For investors, this creates a rare opportunity to profit from a geopolitical turning point.

Drone boom and multiplication: Following DroneShield, RENK, and Standard Lithium, NEO Battery Materials shares are taking off!
Missed out on the multiplication of shares such as DroneShield, RENK, and Standard Lithium? Investors can still get in early with NEO Battery Materials. The Company is benefiting from the drone boom and the raw materials conflict between the US and China. NEO Battery Materials has developed advanced battery technology. The first manufacturer of drone batteries has already placed an order. In the future, the Company also plans to offer complete batteries itself. To save time in commercialization, a factory has been leased. This will allow for rapidly increasing sales and profits. The tariff and raw materials conflict between the US and China is likely to give NEO an additional boost. When will the stock take off?

Winners in the tariff war: Almonty Industries, MP Materials, Bayer
Stock market turmoil on Friday: Donald Trump once again threatens to wield the tariff club. This came in response to China's announcement to tighten export controls on rare earths. Yet, there are also winners in the raw materials battle between the two superpowers. In recent months, the US government has invested in companies such as MP Materials, focusing so far on rare earths and lithium. Will tungsten be next? This critical metal has not been mined in the US for a long time, and Almonty would be the logical partner to change that. Notably, while US stocks lost ground, in some cases heavily, on Friday, Almonty shares recovered significantly from their intraday lows.

War increasingly likely? This supplier is improving drones: AeroVironment, NEO Battery Materials and Kratos Defense
"Is war against Putin inevitable?" This was the headline in BILD yesterday in response to statements by military historian Sönke Neitzel on the ARD talk show Maischberger. According to Neitzel, Putin has already paved the way for war with his recent escalations. The historian asks: "If Putin is determined – many in NATO say so, and I would agree – will he wait until we can say that even the German Armed Forces now have enough drones? No, probably not." Neitzel believes that, due to the current poor equipment of many NATO countries, a military conflict between NATO and Russia could occur within the next three years. Investments in drones are therefore urgently needed. We present a battery supplier that offers tailor-made technology for drones, capable of drastically reducing the dependence of Western militaries on batteries from China.

Indonesia shock for car manufacturers – NISK offers hope: Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Power Metallic Mines
Indonesia is the global hotspot for nickel. According to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, around 50% of the global supply comes from this Asian country. But recently, the media and NGOs have put the country's "dirty" nickel in the spotlight. Environmental organizations are sounding the alarm: in the mining regions of Sulawesi and the Moluccas, the soil and coastal waters are reportedly contaminated, and in some places the sea is turning red due to mining residues. As reported by German broadcaster ZDF a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz also indirectly sources nickel from Indonesia. We take a look at what the consequences of these allegations are and why a promising nickel location may now return to the focus of industry.

Graphite problem solvers with small valuation: SGL Carbon, Mercedes-Benz, Graphano Energy
Battery-grade graphite is classified as a critical element in both the US and the EU. The reason: supply chains have been too dependent on China. Recent geopolitical shifts have caused decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic to rethink their approach to graphite and other critical raw materials. Secure sources are now in high demand. At the same time, sustainability and environmental protection remain key requirements for projects. In this article, we explain the latest developments in the graphite market and how investors can benefit from them.

E-mobility poised for the next boost! Focus now on Mercedes-Benz, Geely, BASF, and Graphano Energy!
The market for electric vehicles is heavily influenced by current battery technology. Advances in high-performance materials and solid-state batteries are significantly improving range, performance, and safety. Faster charging times and longer battery life are leading to greater consumer acceptance. The development of silicon anodes and new cathode materials is enabling more efficient and cost-effective batteries. Sustainable recycling methods are also important, as they strengthen the circular economy and reduce environmental impact. With the expansion of charging infrastructure, range anxiety is decreasing, and EV usage is becoming more convenient. This highly innovative environment opens up opportunities for both manufacturers and investors alike. Those who understand the key players in the space can achieve substantial returns.

Serbians don't want mines – Are Europe's battery supply chains at risk? BYD, BMW and European Lithium
A recent article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reveals that the vast majority of Serbians oppose lithium mining in the country. The Journal for International Politics and Society cites a survey according to which 55% of Serbians are against a lithium mine in the Jardar Valley – only 25% are in favor of it. The latest media report paints an even bleaker picture. According to the report, the various population groups in Serbia have rarely been as united as they are in their opposition to the mine. But what does this mean for European battery supply chains? Which companies will be penalized, and which will benefit? We analyze the situation.
