Tungsten Alert: China Becomes an Importer and Almonty Shares Soar to All-Time High
Alert in the tungsten market! As demand rises for this metal, which is critical not only for defense and semiconductors, China is now becoming an importer as well. Yet China is already by far the largest producer. This is likely to pose even greater challenges for Western corporations. News from Japan and Korea points in this direction. The biggest beneficiary is Almonty Industries. With operational tungsten mines in Portugal and South Korea, and soon in the US as well, it is arguably the only major producer in the West. Analysts expect revenue and profits to surge. The stock is trading at an all-time high, but based on analysts' earnings expectations for 2027, it still does not appear to be overvalued. The chances of the rally continuing are good.

Focus on Critical Infrastructure: Power Metallic Mines Shines, Heidelberger Druck & LPKF Laser Ready to Take Off
The Strait of Hormuz is currently one of the most frequently cited geopolitical buzzwords in international media. At the same time, potential supply chain bottlenecks involving critical metals have been the subject of intense discussion for months. The valuation of high-tech and AI companies is largely based on the continuous expansion of computing capacities and the necessary electrical infrastructure. This transformation process requires enormous quantities of industrial metals and strategic raw materials. In the ongoing war scenario, however, everything is being put to the test! Against this backdrop, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself with its NISK project in a market environment increasingly shaped by raw material security and supply chain stability. On the other hand, Heidelberger Druck and LPKF Laser are betting on an operational turnaround with different technological approaches. We analyze the relevant drivers, risks, and valuation prospects in detail.

The Next Commodity Shock Is Coming – Almonty Industries in the Spotlight
Amid geopolitical tensions, tungsten is emerging as one of the world’s most strategically important metals. With the highest melting point of any element, exceptional hardness, and high density, it is indispensable for military equipment, semiconductors, and future technologies such as nuclear fusion. And the situation is becoming increasingly dire. Export restrictions from China, new US laws on securing raw materials, and a structural supply gap are driving prices up massively. The APT price has already surpassed the USD 3,000 per MTU mark, and the trend is still rising. In this environment, Almonty Industries is coming into sharp focus.

AMAZON, ALMONTY, AND VEOLIA ON A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE: BACK ON TRACK TO RECORD HIGHS AFTER THE CORRECTION
Fear and panic spread across the stock market in March. Even giants began to waver. But after a brief, albeit sharp, correction, the shares of the world's leading online retailer, Amazon, the commodities rebel Almonty, and the environmental pioneer Veolia are once again on the rise. A rollercoaster ride that may test your nerves, but teaches us once again: those declared dead live longer—and quality stocks often fall only to gather momentum for the next push toward their former highs.

Drones and Defense: How Volatus Aerospace Is Positioning with AI and NATO contracts - Is CAD 1.00 Within Reach?
The global security environment is prompting governments to reassess their defense strategies, with increasing emphasis on scalable and technology-driven solutions. In this context, Volatus Aerospace is positioning itself as a provider of integrated drone and aviation services that go beyond pure hardware. The company is passionate about modern technology and knows exactly what contemporary defense must look like. And for this, the right platform is more important today than ever. The significance of Volatus's work is underscored by a recently announced NATO-related contract with a total value of approximately CAD 2.1 million. At the same time, the stock is beginning to attract renewed attention. Momentum is building, which could drive the price to CAD 0.90 or even higher toward CAD 1. In a market where drones are playing an increasingly important role in both defense and civilian applications, Volatus is positioning itself across multiple use cases.

The Antimony Crisis: Antimony Resources at the Heart of Western Supply Security – How Lockheed Martin and Rio Tinto Are Responding
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Shiny, silvery antimony has become a central element of the Western security architecture. China's export restrictions, which culminated in a targeted export ban on the US in 2024, forced Western supply chains to realign. Securing domestic supplies has thus become imperative, overshadowing short-term cost considerations. While defense giants like Lockheed Martin are desperately searching for reliable sources to maintain production of modern defense systems and mining companies like Rio Tinto are investing in processing capacity, specialized antimony companies are coming into focus. Antimony Resources is advancing the development of the Bald Hill project in New Brunswick, which is considered one of the most significant future antimony sources in North America. The company offers investors direct access to a market where small companies are becoming indispensable partners to industry, presenting significant opportunities for investors.

Tungsten in Focus: Almonty's Strategic Position and the Battle for Western Resource Sovereignty – Implications for SpaceX and Sandvik
Wars and the shifting of power blocs are driving major changes across many industries. Technological breakthroughs and visionary ideas are already beginning to take shape. In this context, the element tungsten is becoming increasingly important. With the highest melting point of any metal at 3,422 °C, a density nearly equal to that of gold, and exceptional hardness, this material is largely irreplaceable in metalworking, the defense industry, semiconductor manufacturing, and, more recently, nuclear fusion. For a long time, the global market for tungsten was dominated by China, which controlled over 80% of mine production and nearly 70% of processing capacity. But this era ended abruptly when the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced strict export controls on 25 strategic metals, including tungsten, in February of last year. At the same time, the so-called REEShore Act came into effect in the US, strictly prohibiting the use of Chinese tungsten in military equipment starting in 2027. In its report "Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025," the International Energy Agency (IEA) rightly emphasizes that it is crucial to closely monitor such concentrated supply chains for the sake of global security and defense capabilities.
