Critical Raw Material for Ammunition: Antimony Resources Approaching a Key Milestone – and Then a US Government Entry?
Raw materials are increasingly becoming a critical factor in ammunition production. Alongside tungsten, antimony is one such material. This largely unknown mineral is critical for flame retardants, batteries, alloys, electronics, and, of course, ammunition. At the same time, the US is 100% reliant on imports. Antimony Resources is developing what is likely one of the most promising deposits in North America. A resource estimate is expected to be released by June. Then, the US government might even step in. This is speculation, but there have already been examples since last year of the Trump administration taking such decisive action to secure critical raw materials.

Tungsten Power from Sangdong: Almonty's Path to Greater Western Independence in Critical Raw Materials
Tungsten is crucial to the security of modern defense systems and the future of high technology. This raw material is a strategic key where China has held almost all the cards until now. But with the commissioning of the legendary Sangdong mine in South Korea, Almonty Industries has now opened a new chapter in industrial history. After more than 30 years of inactivity, ore is once again flowing from one of the richest deposits on Earth. This project means far more than just mining and tungsten extraction. It marks the beginning of independence and the establishment of a strategic alliance with the West. The enormous market potential is prompting analysts to raise their price targets and making Almonty the new lifeline for Western industries. It is the success story of an impressive company that has permanently shifted, and continues to shift, the global balance of power in the raw materials sector.

Antimony Resources: Geopolitics Is Driving Antimony Prices
Antimony is increasingly becoming a geopolitically important commodity. China dominates production, and export restrictions have already caused prices to rise sharply. At the same time, demand is growing from the defense, technology, and energy sectors. With the Bald Hill project, Antimony Resources is developing a potentially significant source of antimony for North America. New discoveries and high-grade drill results suggest that the project could have significantly greater potential than previously assumed.

Lynas Rare Earths, Power Metallic Mines, Mosaic – 3 Winners in the Raw Materials War
The global battle for critical raw materials is intensifying. Resources such as rare earth elements, copper, nickel, and cobalt are indispensable for electric mobility, wind power, and power grids, but also for modern defense technology. While China still controls large parts of global processing, the US, Europe, and their partners are attempting to establish new supply chains through multi-billion-dollar programs. Mining projects, recycling processes, and strategic partnerships are therefore moving into focus in this geopolitical race. For commodity companies, this environment is turning critical minerals into one of the defining investment themes of the coming years.

Spain is investing over EUR 400 million in critical raw materials: Deutsche Rohstoff, Group Eleven Resources, and Standard Lithium in focus
Spain is taking the initiative on critical raw materials and has allocated EUR 414 million in public funding. The action plan, which runs through 2030, includes 34 measures aimed at strengthening the exploration, recycling, extraction, and processing of strategically important raw materials. A full EUR 182 million is earmarked for a new national exploration program. This move is noteworthy because Madrid is sending a signal that has long been missing in Europe: securing raw materials is no longer a secondary issue, but a central pillar of industrial policy. Group Eleven Resources could benefit from this shift. The company is currently advancing a zinc-lead-silver project in Ireland, and the stock is gaining momentum. Shares of Deutsche Rohstoff AG have also performed strongly, with analysts seeing further upside potential. And what about investor favorite Standard Lithium?

The focus is now on critical infrastructure – Power Metallic Mines delivers dream results, SAP and Oracle test the rebound
Every day, a flood of news hits the capital markets. The focus is on international crises, which in turn have major implications for national economies. Areas with large fossil fuel reserves are coming to the fore, and for months now, scenarios of critical metal shortages have been discussed and reassessed accordingly. High-tech and AI stocks thrive on a steady influx of computing power and are dependent on the promised expansion of the electrical infrastructure. This requires a variety of raw materials from the metal sector. Power Metallic Mines has positioned itself perfectly in the current situation with its NISK project, while Oracle and SAP are driven by their cloud and data models, which are falling out of favor due to AI. It remains to be seen whether a revival in earnings can take place in line with analysts' estimates. It is not easy to convince people, so we are analyzing the accompanying circumstances.

USD 5.6 billion in just a few days! Antimony, a key ammunition raw material, surges! Antimony Resources stock takes off!
The war against Iran is increasingly turning into a costly war of attrition for the US. The Trump administration was apparently convinced that massive military pressure would quickly cause the regime in Tehran to collapse. Instead, the conflict is dragging on, the enemy is proving more resilient than expected, and the US war objectives remain unclear. The bill is rising day by day. According to Reuters, expenditures for deployed ammunition alone in the first two days of the war totaled USD 5.6 billion. Against this backdrop, a scale of around USD 1 billion per day now almost seems reasonable. One thing is clear: ammunition is urgently needed. This makes critical raw materials even more critical. For investors, this presents opportunities.

AI fuels demand, investors reap rewards: ExxonMobil, Standard Uranium, and Nordex in focus
Electricity demand is exploding, driven by electrification and the race for supremacy in artificial intelligence. Governments and corporations are desperately searching for solutions to power data centers around the clock. The old dogma of climate neutrality is giving way to a pragmatic realignment. Every available kilowatt-hour counts, whether fossil, nuclear, or renewable. This tension between security of supply and technological competition is currently giving rise to three promising investment opportunities that could not be more different. While US oil giant ExxonMobil is benefiting from the return to fossil fuels, Standard Uranium is betting on the nuclear renaissance, and Nordex relies on wind power as an indispensable pillar of the future energy mix.

Mining comeback in Europe: Solid returns with Group Eleven Resources, Boliden, and Glencore
The European raw materials landscape is undergoing a realignment. For decades, the industry relied on cheap imports from overseas. But those days of largely unchallenged globalization are coming to an end. In order to end dependence on uncertain supply chains and ensure the survival of the industry, the focus is shifting to domestic extraction of critical metals. The European Commission has defined clear goals with the Critical Raw Materials Act and the ambitious RESourceEU Action Plan: By 2030, 10% of the mining and 40% of the processing of critical metals should occur within the EU. In this environment, the European zinc and silver sector is making a comeback. While zinc has historically been in demand primarily in the construction industry, it is now indispensable for the corrosion protection of wind turbines. Silver is even becoming a critical industrial metal due to the tremendous boom in artificial intelligence (AI) and the construction of data centers. Ireland, in particular, is establishing itself as a raw materials region in this phase. The country has one of the world's most productive geological provinces for high-grade base metals and boasts excellent geoscientific data from the Tellus program. Established mining giants such as Boliden and Glencore are setting standards, while up-and-coming explorers such as Group Eleven Resources are shining with spectacular discoveries and offering investors extremely lucrative entry opportunities.
