Antimony as the "Invisible Glue" of Industry and Defence: Antimony Resources, BASF, and Lockheed Martin
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
A relatively unknown semimetal that for decades remained in the shadow of the commodity giants has suddenly emerged as the strategic nerve center of Western industry. Antimony is essential for flame retardants in electronics, heat-resistant cables in fighter jets, and modern battery systems; without this material, key technologies cannot be produced. When China effectively halted exports in December 2024, this catapulted the price of antimony skyward in a very short time and exposed a critical dependency. As the West searches for alternative supply chains, established corporations are coming under pressure. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the up-and-coming antimony producer Antimony Resources, the industrial conglomerate BASF, and the defense contractor Lockheed Martin.

AI, Oncology, and Defense: TeamViewer, BioNTech, and Antimony Resources—A Great Mix for Your Portfolio!
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock market is a place of extremes, and today we are looking at a trio—TeamViewer, BioNTech, and Antimony Resources—that comes from three different sectors. There is a German software pioneer that, after painful setbacks, is suddenly showing clear signs of life again. There is a once-celebrated vaccine hero pumping billions into a risky but revolutionary future in cancer therapy—while still holding a substantial cash reserve. And then there is a Canadian mineral explorer digging deep into the earth for a material without which our modern world would simply grind to a halt—one that is also crucial for the defense industry. It is precisely this mix of a software-AI turnaround, a biotech-oncology transformation, and mineral potential that makes the market so incredibly exciting. Join us on a journey through three fascinating corporate stories.

Almonty, Sandvik, and Airbus: Three Stocks for the Battle Over Critical Raw Materials
Tungsten has long been a niche topic on the stock market. But this extremely hard metal is used, among other things, in cutting tools, semiconductors, aviation, and defense—and China dominates the supply chain. As a result, the critical raw material has become systemically important and is taking center stage in Western industrial and security policy. With Almonty Industries, Sandvik, and Airbus, we present three stocks that allow investors to profit across the value chain.

The Unexpected Lithium Rally 2.0: Mercedes, Porsche AG, Rock Tech Lithium, and BASF in Focus
It has finally happened! The looming global power shortage is unexpectedly becoming a massive catalyst for a new boom in the commodities market, once again propelling lithium stocks into the spotlight. The renowned Fraunhofer Institute has reached the clear conclusion that European demand for high-purity lithium hydroxide will increase sixfold by 2030. Analysts explicitly emphasize that only companies with closed, regional supply chains will be able to successfully circumvent the looming production bottlenecks caused by power and raw material shortages. This is because Western industrialized nations aim to drastically reduce their dependence on Asia and rely on their own raw material reserves. For investors, this fundamental transformation builds a highly attractive bridge to the next generation of beneficiaries. While automotive groups such as Mercedes and Porsche are now radically securing their supply chains through partnerships, Rock Tech is poised to move into supplier status in the near future. The chemical company BASF, an indispensable partner for cathode materials, is also part of the picture. Savvy investors are using the current consolidation phase to position themselves early among the winners of this megatrend.

Why the Base Load Bottleneck Threatens SpaceX and Amazon—and How Standard Uranium Stands to Benefit
When you pick up your smartphone from your nightstand in the morning, you rarely give a thought to the massive infrastructure behind the scenes. But the brave new digital world of global data streams and machine-learning algorithms has an energy-hungry, and sometimes dirty, secret. Artificial intelligence consumes so much electricity that power grids are collapsing one after another. When computing power needs to keep pace with AI innovations, solar farms are no longer enough. Base load power is needed—and nuclear power provides it. So high-tech needs uranium, and that is exactly what brings the tech elite together with resource companies. We explain the connections and highlight the opportunities.

Canada and Europe Are Jointly Securing Raw Materials: Why BMW and Volkswagen Should Keep an Eye on Power Metallic Mines
The automotive industry's transition to electric mobility is disrupting traditional supply chains. While efficient assembly used to be the key factor, in the era of electric vehicles, secure, environmentally responsible access to critical minerals matters most. Above all, strict legal requirements, such as the European Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, are forcing automakers to fully document the origin of their raw materials all the way back to the mine. In this complex landscape, Canada has emerged as one of the most important partners for European industry. The standards and mineral content are just right here—we introduce the market and potential beneficiaries.

Tungsten Emergency: Why Almonty Is Exceptionally Positioned - Sandvik and Lockheed Martin Under Pressure
Beijing's tightened export controls on critical raw materials such as tungsten show how heavily the West depends on established supply chains. China still controls around 80% of global tungsten production. In response to this threat, from January 1, 2027, the US will ban the import of tungsten from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea for military purposes. This regulatory turning point and a surge in demand from the defense sector drove the world market price for ammonium paratungstate (APT) from historic lows in the low triple-digit range per metric tonne unit (MTU = 10 kg) to well over USD 3,000 per MTU. We take a closer look at the market and show how investors can profit from the tungsten emergency.

Why the Antimony Bottleneck Threatens Hensoldt and BASF, and How Antimony Resources Benefits
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The world order is different from before 2022. China is tightening the reins on critical metals. The situation with semiconductor and alloy raw materials in particular calls for action. The strategic semimetal antimony is increasingly becoming a critical bottleneck for Western industry. China's export restrictions - the country controls around 36% of global mine production and around 70% of global antimony refining capacity - have triggered deep uncertainty among European groups in the chemical and defence sectors. The solution is new supply chains and mines in secure jurisdictions. We examine the current situation and present a possible beneficiary.

Rebound and Straight Back Up: Rheinmetall, Renk, Antimony Resources, TKMS, and Hensoldt
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock-market carousel keeps turning. While defense stocks were still on the hit list over the past 5 months, an impressive rebound is now underway. Rheinmetall experienced an outright sellout after a large frigate order was awarded to TKMS. Across the sector, the stocks had to absorb discounts of up to 50% after having risen to hype status in the years 2024 to 2025. Another stock caused a stir yesterday: Antimony Resources! After a 90-day consolidation of nearly 70%, new drill results came in. And lo and behold: not only does antimony lie dormant in the ground, but also plenty of gold. Good for anyone who bought in here over the past few weeks. All four stocks on our list still have some catch-up potential in the tank; we analyze why.

Bombshell, Buy Recommendation, and Upside Potential: RENK, Bayer, and Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
A major development has emerged at Antimony Resources. Until now, the investment case centred on the company's potential to develop a world-class antimony project in Canada. Now, gold has entered the picture as well. The analysis of approximately 190 sample intervals has revealed meaningful gold grades, providing investors with another compelling reason to consider the stock. Analysts see the potential for a multi-fold increase in its valuation. Analysts also see an attractive entry opportunity in RENK. In their view, the recent weakness in the share price following the sell-off in Rheinmetall has been overdone. The company could even report a new record in order intake. Meanwhile, the record-breaking lawsuits at Bayer could become more manageable in the future, following the recent US Supreme Court ruling. The stock responded with a strong rally, and analysts remain optimistic. Nevertheless, investors should bear in mind that not all legal cases have been resolved.
