Tungsten Prices Surge as Media Attention Grows: Handelsblatt and Fox Business Report - Almonty Industries in focus
A revaluation is currently underway in parts of the commodities sector. Tungsten has outperformed rare earths, silver, and gold in recent months, with prices nearly doubling since the beginning of 2026. This critical commodity is being discovered not only by a growing number of investors, but also by the media. Most recently, Handelsblatt and Fox Business have reported on it. Lewis Black is always part of the conversation. The CEO of Almonty Industries is currently a man in demand – by governments, companies, investors, and the media. On the one hand, Almonty is the only serious Western producer of this strategically important material used in defense, electronics, aerospace, and many other industries. On the other hand, Black presents market developments in a highly convincing manner. According to him, prices are unlikely to decline significantly.

Seizing Defense Billions Now: How NEO Battery Materials Could Enhance Systems from Rheinmetall and Hensoldt
The world's security architecture is no longer what it once was: the future of defense is autonomous, networked, and energy-hungry. Military superiority is no longer determined primarily by the sheer number of deployed units, but by the synergy of autonomous mobility, sensor intelligence, and the corresponding energy capacities. In this environment, players such as Rheinmetall are equipping the next generation of military equipment with autonomous vehicles and drones. At the same time, Hensoldt is providing the necessary intelligence for today's battlefield through high-performance sensor technology and AI-supported radar systems such as the TRML-4D. According to reports from platforms such as Radartutorial.eu, these systems are capable of detecting up to 1,500 targets simultaneously within a radius of 250 km and processing data in fractions of a second. In the field of power supply for unmanned aerial systems, the Canadian-South Korean company NEO Battery Materials is positioning itself to drive a potential breakthrough.

Canada's CAD 81.8 billion program: Why the new strategy is set to take Volatus Aerospace even higher
There are moments when an industry changes fundamentally overnight. That is exactly what has happened in Canada. With its new defense industry strategy, the government in Ottawa has not simply launched another procurement program, but has rewritten the rules of the game. CAD 81.8 billion is to be invested, but the real sensation lies in the small print. In future, 70% of contracts are to go to Canadian companies. While the public is focused on the big names, a company that many have overlooked has positioned itself in the background. Volatus Aerospace from Quebec is the secret winner of this historic turnaround. It has built an empire of technology, infrastructure, and contracts.

The rally in critical metals continues! 250% opportunity with Antimony Resources
Tariff turmoil and geopolitical conflicts such as those in Ukraine, Gaza, and now Mexico are sadly causing extreme volatility in the capital markets. There are currently few opportunities for investors to catch their breath, as the world is in turmoil. Driven by uncertainty and supply bottlenecks, gold and silver continue to rise in the middle of the week, reaching new monthly highs of USD 88 and USD 5,250, respectively. Largely ignored for decades, antimony is now joining tungsten at the center of economic and security policy considerations, as key industries in the high-tech and defense sectors are hardly scalable without a stable supply of antimony. This dynamic is triggered by structural supply bottlenecks, politically motivated export restrictions, and a high concentration of production in a few countries. The result is a market in which even small disruptions trigger massive price movements and expose the vulnerability of global supply chains. Antimony Resources has found an enrichment in its Bald Hill project that could reach industrial dimensions. The stock is poised for a revaluation!

Frequentis, Parrot, and Volatus Aerospace under the microscope: A hidden gem from Canada is reshuffling the deck
Drones have long been more than just a technological trend - they have become a geopolitical factor, and the stock market is reacting accordingly. While Austrian security specialist Frequentis, valued at billions, is already firmly in the sights of institutional investors, French micro-drone pioneer Parrot and Canadian full-service provider Volatus Aerospace are engaged in an exciting race for investor favor. Volatus, previously little known in Germany, has transformed itself from a restructuring case to a growth star in a remarkably short time with government backing, a promising NATO contract, and inclusion in the prestigious "TSX Venture 50" list. Parrot has apparently reached the break-even point, but is leaving investors in the dark until the end of March. Those who make the right choice now could benefit from one of the most exciting investment themes of the decade – but the differences between the three candidates are greater than they appear at first glance.

The arms race is on: Why Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, and Leidos are needed!
War in Ukraine, troop buildup in the Persian Gulf: Politicians currently seem to be reverting to their role as warlords. The conflict in Ukraine alone has now lasted more than four years and shows how modern warfare works. It is important to control the necessary raw materials, data, and airspace. Since then, an arms race has begun. The US has urged its NATO partners to increase their defense spending, and most countries have followed suit. Within this framework, Germany has launched a EUR 500 billion investment program, which will benefit the German arms industry, among others. US President Donald Trump has announced a military budget of USD 1 trillion – for one year, mind you! But global rival China is not to be outdone, increasing its military spending by double-digit percentages every year. While the US primarily enjoys technological supremacy, China dominates the raw materials market. This explosive constellation offers investors opportunities on the stock market.

International Expansion as a Catalyst? RENK, CHAR Technologies, and SFC Energy enter new markets
CHAR Technologies is likely to achieve a breakthrough this year, both operationally and on the stock market. The company is now bringing its HTP technology for the production of biogas and biochar to Europe. Licensing reduces risks and conserves capital. The first industrial plant has already gone into operation in Canada. Its expansion is being planned, as are further plants in North America. RENK is also gaining momentum in the US. Analysts recently speculated that US business could surprise on the upside from 2028 onwards. New orders are already confirming this. And what about SFC Energy? Following the forecast adjustment last summer, the share is looking for new momentum. This may come from internationalization. However, analysts are not yet convinced.

Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, BYD – Innovations put pressure on the competition
Record military spending, major orders worth billions, and structural rearmament are set to drive the European defense industry for years to come. At the same time, global energy demand is exploding. Modular nuclear reactors and green hydrogen are coming into focus as low-CO₂ base load solutions. And in the field of electromobility, Asian battery manufacturers are massively expanding their cost advantage. As a result, cell prices are falling, ranges are increasing, and Western competitors are coming under pressure. Three future-oriented industries – defense, clean energy, and battery technology – are facing a new wave of investment, but some of the first warning signs are appearing in the charts.

Almonty Industries – Main beneficiary of the tungsten shock
The price of tungsten has quadrupled within a year. China dominates over 80% of production, is cutting subsidies, tightening export rules, and struggling with declining ore grades. At the same time, demand from the defense, semiconductor, and data center sectors continues to drive the market. The West is looking for alternatives, and one of the largest mines outside China is about to ramp up production. Could this give rise to a strategic raw materials player that could serve up to 40% of non-Chinese demand?

New valuation level ahead? How Volatus Aerospace is rising to become a system supplier in the shadow of DroneShield and AgEagle Aerial Systems
The threat to critical infrastructure and national borders is completely reshaping the budgets of Western governments: today's wars are no longer fought with tanks, but with unmanned aerial systems and intelligent surveillance technology. Canada has responded to this reality with a new defense industry strategy that aims to end its dependence on foreign military equipment. The Ottawa government's stated goal is to award 70% of future procurement contracts to domestic companies, thereby creating demand for local producers. In this environment, Volatus Aerospace is transforming itself from a service provider to a systemically important technology producer for national security.
