Takeover fever among juniors: Formation Metals, Barrick Mining, and Gold Fields
The price of gold has reached new record highs this year, climbing above USD 4,000 per ounce. This rally is increasingly attracting new groups of investors - not only institutional players but also private investors who until recently focused mainly on tech stocks. In this environment, junior mining companies with promising projects are moving sharply into the spotlight. These juniors, smaller exploration companies without their own production, are widely regarded as the key discoverers of new deposits. In fact, according to asset manager VanEck, between 60 and 70% of all significant gold discoveries originate from junior explorers. Sufficiently capitalized juniors with promising deposits are therefore in strong demand. They offer established producers an efficient way to replenish reserves without carrying out years of costly exploration themselves. One example of such a company is Formation Metals.

BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex: How to benefit from industry leaders in the energy transition
A new industrial era is dawning. Driven by the global energy transition, there is an unprecedented demand for clean technology, powerful batteries, and the metals that power them. But this multi-billion-dollar arms race reveals a critical vulnerability: the scarcity of strategic raw materials and fragile supply chains. The key to success no longer lies solely in innovation, but in mastering the entire value chain, from the mine to the finished plant. We take a closer look at three companies at the forefront of the energy transition: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex.

Takeover fever! BYD is amazed, Graphano celebrates, and Lyft buys FreeNow from Mercedes and BMW!
If the electric vehicle market wants to overtake combustion engines, further advances in battery technology are still needed. Consumers need to be convinced, which means that economic realities should be at the forefront of their purchasing decisions. Major innovations require high-performance materials, including graphite, which is a key component of modern lithium-ion batteries. Graphite contributes to a greater range, higher energy density, and improved safety. At the same time, innovative approaches to silicon anodes and novel cathode materials are ensuring more efficient and cost-effective production processes. With the steady expansion of charging infrastructure, range anxiety among consumers is diminishing, further boosting the adoption of e-mobility. This highly dynamic innovation environment thus opens up attractive prospects for both technology developers and investors, as the industry is changing rapidly.

BYD and Graphano Energy are driving the energy storage revolution - even Nordex is benefiting indirectly
The energy landscape is undergoing radical change. The key no longer lies solely in the generation of green electricity, but in its intelligent storage and use. Electric vehicles are mutating into rolling power tanks that can stabilize grids, while extensive stationary storage facilities compensate for the fluctuating feed-in from wind and solar power. This revolution opens up massive savings potential for consumers and reduces the need for expensive grid upgrades. We take a look at whether BYD, Graphano Energy, and Nordex can benefit from this booming ecosystem.

Does Germany have a drone problem? Hensoldt, TKMS, Helsing, and NEO Battery Materials!
Drone alerts at German and European airports! At the same time, criticism of Germany's defense policy is growing louder. Is the federal government investing too much in tanks and other heavy equipment and too little in drones and counter-drone systems? This opinion is shared not only by the head of Germany's new drone star, Helsing, but also by several other experts. The situation is quite different in the rest of the world, where demand for drones is rising significantly. NEO Battery Materials is also benefiting from this trend. The Company recently secured an existing factory in South Korea for the production of high-performance batteries, and the first million-dollar orders are already in place. And what is TKMS doing? Its share price has slipped in recent days. Could large orders bring new momentum?

Trade war over? Not at all! Here is what's happening now with Graphano Energy, Porsche, and Volkswagen
The US and China have agreed to a kind of truce in their trade conflict. China's export restrictions on metals, which were only announced in October, have been lifted. In return, China will purchase agricultural products from the US, and the agreement will be renegotiated in a year's time. What US President Donald Trump is selling as a major victory is, at best, a temporary ceasefire. The past few weeks have shown that the preliminary agreement will change little for Western industrial companies: they have gained time and must make good use of it.

Battery metals before the hype? Battery clusters are emerging in Québec: Northern Graphite, Graphano Energy, and General Motors
Graphite is a crucial material for battery anodes. Natural graphite, in particular, is in high demand and scores with its unique properties. As China tightens export restrictions on raw materials and focuses on supplying finished batteries, Western automakers like General Motors are growing increasingly concerned about supply security. At the same time, innovation is needed to remain competitive against low-cost Chinese producers. Currently, there is only one operating graphite mine in all of Canada, despite the material's strategic importance. We explain the background and introduce a potential beneficiary that has so far flown under the radar of many investors.
