Power Metallic Mines, BYD, Intel: Without This Often-Overlooked Raw Material, Electric Mobility and AI Would Grind to a Halt

  • Electromobility

  • AI

In the coming years, electric mobility and artificial intelligence will become key drivers of the economy. Together, they drive the demand for copper. Without this red metal, there would be no electric vehicles, and data streams would dry up too. It is no coincidence that the price of copper has risen significantly over the past year. Many investors still have yet to recognize this bottleneck and are focusing instead on the latest AI models or the increased ranges of electric vehicles. Yet there could be significant untapped potential in the mining sector in particular, because as AI and robotics make production more efficient, the demand for raw materials will increase. Today, we take a closer look at the polymetallic mineral explorer Power Metallic Mines, the electric vehicle manufacturer BYD, and the chipmaker Intel.

Electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly common sight on German roads, driven in part by the arrival of aggressively priced models from China. However, the rapid growth of electric mobility is placing mounting pressure on automotive supply chains. Automakers are grappling with volatile markets while becoming increasingly concerned about securing reliable access to critical raw materials. Commodities are no longer viewed as readily available inputs but as strategic assets essential to industrial competitiveness. This complex situation calls for new alliances: mining companies, major automakers, and dynamic project developers are pulling out all the stops to secure raw materials for the future.

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.

From AI Boom to Copper Boom! Siemens Energy Above EUR 200, Oracle Set to Double? Is Power Metallic Mines Ready to Break Out?

Current figures are rarely decisive on the stock market. The market looks to the future, comparing company announcements or quarterly data against expectations. This drives price movements. Figures from competitors also allow for conclusions to be drawn, but not without limitations. Siemens Energy has recently come under pressure because its competitor, GE Vernova, provided an outlook that fell short of expectations. AI is not always a surefire driver of share price performance. Oracle illustrates this point. Although the numbers are solid, the high level of investment is alarming market participants. They perceive rising risks, which led to a massive share price correction. Analysts now believe the stock could double in value. According to experts, there is even more upside potential at Power Metallic Mines. The Canadian company owns one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. The release of the first resource estimate is expected soon. This could boost the share price. Analysts see nearly 200% upside potential here. How should forward-looking investors position themselves now?

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.

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.

We examine these developments and highlight exciting companies.

Geopolitical crises are like a ticking time bomb for the stock market. Over the weekend, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz escalated dramatically once again. Iran blocked one of the world's most important trade routes, container ships were fired upon, and the US responded with airstrikes. What may be just another headline for many, however, represents a completely new market dynamic for investors. This escalation in the Middle East is putting pressure on energy prices, thereby creating winners and losers in the most unexpected places. It is precisely at times like this, when the overall market comes under pressure again, that real opportunities emerge. The Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, for example, is staging a fascinating comeback, while the German defense contractor TKMS should actually benefit from contracts worth billions. And then there are the companies profiting from critical raw materials. Companies like Power Metallic Mines, with their raw materials lying dormant underground, are also working toward the future of electric mobility—an industry on the verge of a revaluation. Three completely different companies, three completely different industries, but all directly or indirectly influenced by what is currently happening in the Persian Gulf. The question remains: who is really benefiting from this crisis, or which entry point offers a good setup? Read on to find out how you can profit from the current geopolitical tensions.
