Gold and Silver Poised for a Comeback? Lahontan Gold, Newmont and First Majestic Emerge as Top Picks
Gold has served as one of humanity's oldest stores of value for centuries. Today, rising government debt, geopolitical tensions and sustained central bank buying continue to shape the precious metals market. Thanks to high precious metal prices, profits are soaring for producers like Newmont and First Majestic. Investors looking to identify the winners of the coming years should keep an eye not only on the major players but also on companies that are on the verge of production. After all, it is precisely during this transition phase that significant opportunities often arise. Lahontan Gold currently finds itself precisely at this juncture. The Canadian company is on the verge of reaching several key milestones on its path to first gold production next year. The key question is whether the gap between the value of its flagship project and the company's market valuation will begin to close as early as this summer.

Buy Recommendations for Almonty, Micron, and TKMS! Defense, Commodities, and Semiconductors with Upside Potential!
Compelling buying opportunities are emerging across several sectors. In commodities, Almonty Industries stands out as it ramps up production at its tungsten mine in South Korea, with revenue and earnings expected to accelerate sharply in the second half of the year. Analysts forecast a net profit of CAD 854.6 million next year, implying a forward P/E ratio of just 4.34—a valuation many consider too low for the only significant Western tungsten supplier. Analysts recommend buying. TKMS appears well positioned among the struggling defense companies. Analysts highlight its substantial order backlog, which is expected to provide strong earnings visibility well into the 2040s. Micron remains a higher-risk opportunity. Following its historic share price rally, investors are concerned about potential overcapacity. Micron is also investing billions, but analysts remain reassuring.

China's Export Restrictions: German Industry Must Invest in Raw Materials. How VW and Rheinmetall Respond & Why Aspermont Could Benefit
For decades, raw materials were commodities in the truest sense of the word—interchangeable goods purchased at the lowest possible price. But in recent years, security of supply has evolved from a procurement issue into a decisive factor for the survival of Western industry. Depending on the sector, shortages can threaten entire business models. To reduce the risks posed by geopolitical tensions, volatile commodity prices and increasingly stringent sustainability requirements, industrial companies are taking a much closer look at their raw material supply chains. Some are investing directly in mining projects, while others are forming strategic partnerships. In either case, access to reliable information on mining projects and the conditions across the value chain is essential for assessing supply risks. Aspermont, a specialist provider of mining and commodities intelligence, could be well positioned to benefit from this shift.

Gold Holds Above USD 4,000: Barrick Mining, Kobo Resources and Kinross Gold Offer Upside Potential
Gold has held above the key USD 4,000 per ounce level following its recent pullback. The correction shook the market, but the precious metal has rebounded faster than even the most optimistic analysts had expected. While experts continue to debate the future course of the market, central banks are steadily adding to their gold reserves—a clear vote of confidence in the precious metal. For investors willing to look beyond the obvious, attractive opportunities are now emerging. Three companies deserve special attention in this environment: the established industry leader Barrick Mining, the promising explorer Kobo Resources, and the gold producer Kinross Gold.

Southern Copper, Power Metallic Mines, Vale: The Commodities Story Is Gaining Significant Momentum
The race for artificial intelligence, satellite networks, and global military buildup is intensifying the battle for strategic commodities. Copper, in particular, is becoming a bottleneck for global industry, as power grids, data centers, missiles, and modern weapons systems require enormous quantities of the metal. At the same time, supply remains tight, and even major producers are struggling with declining output. This is bringing exploration companies with high-grade deposits even more into the spotlight, while established mining conglomerates face rising demands and falling production figures.

The "Magnificent Seven" Stumble, Dragging the S&P 500 Lower; Oil Tops USD 90; VIX Surges – Barrick Mining, Deutsche Börse, DRC Gold, Alphabet, Tesla
Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla make up the "Magnificent Seven" and account for roughly one-third of the S&P 500's market capitalization. When two of these heavyweights, Alphabet and Tesla, come under pressure, the broader market feels the impact. Their declines alone shaved around 0.6% off the S&P 500, while the VIX volatility index surged by as much as 17%. Meanwhile, WTI crude oil climbed nearly 5% to above USD 90 per barrel, boosting energy stocks such as Chevron and ExxonMobil. Industrial names, including Caterpillar and Deere, also gained ground. Gold and silver prices also stabilized after recent weakness, while government bonds came under renewed selling pressure as rising inflation expectations pushed yields higher.

Promising Explorer Kobo Resources Heading for a Busy Fall? Endeavour Mining and Perseus Mining Under Pressure
West Africa stands out for its vibrant mining scene. A lot is happening in the region right now. While the major mining giants are investing billions in their existing operations to extend mine lifetimes, an increasing number of smaller players are also coming into focus with high-grade discoveries. In Côte d'Ivoire in particular, there is already existing processing infrastructure that needs to be utilized to full capacity. This is driving activity along the Birimian greenstone belt. The race for promising gold properties near existing milling capacity has begun. In this way, corporations are avoiding extensive new investments and permitting processes while breathing new life into existing facilities. We explain the trend and highlight a potential beneficiary.

Experts Recommend Buying Gold and Silver! Barrick Mining, Newmont, First Majestic Silver, and Desert Gold in Focus
Is it time to buy gold and silver stocks again? Precious metals expert Markus Bußler, among others, believes so. According to him, the risk-reward ratio is attractive once more. Previously, JPMorgan had expressed a bullish outlook, setting a price target of USD 6,000 per troy ounce of gold. Although silver is still working its way toward a technical bottom, Bußler views the core investment First Majestic positively. He had previously been rather skeptical about Barrick. However, there may be positive news in August. Analysts at GBC Research believe Desert Gold's stock is poised for a summer rally. The company is launching gold production in a small section of its massive SMSZ project. The cash flows achievable there already exceed the company's market capitalization.

The New China: Power Metallic Mines, GE Aerospace, and DHL Group See Investment Opportunities in Saudi Arabia
The FIFA World Cup has just come to an end, and the roadmap for future tournaments is already in place. The most forward-looking executives are now turning their attention to the host nation of the 2034 FIFA World Cup: Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is not only awash in cash—it is also opening up more and more and strategically channeling its vast oil wealth into new industries. Three companies that stand to benefit particularly from this transformation are Canadian resource explorer Power Metallic Mines, the US jet engine manufacturer GE Aerospace, and the logistics giant DHL Group, still affectionately known to many investors as the former Deutsche Post. At the same time, all three companies are positioned at the center of major long-term trends, including rising military spending, secure supply chains, electric mobility, and the continued growth of e-commerce.

Gold Price Above USD 4,000 and Central Bank Rally: Barrick Mining, Lahontan Gold, Newmont—Time to Buy Now?
The gold price is holding firmly above USD 4,000, supported in part by central bank purchases. In May, Poland, China, and Chile increased their reserves by a net total of 41 metric tons, with China marking its 20th consecutive month of increases. According to a survey, 89% of central banks expect their holdings to continue growing, and 45% plan to make additional purchases in the coming year. This fundamental tailwind is boosting the entire sector. That is reason enough to take a closer look at Barrick Mining, a gold and copper producer; Lahontan Gold, an up-and-coming Nevada gold producer; and industry leader Newmont.
