Almonty Industries – Next signs point to an upgrade
Almonty Industries plays a key role in securing the future supply of raw materials for the West. At a time when approximately 90% of the world's tungsten supply originates from China and geopolitical tensions are escalating, the Company is becoming the focus of Western security interests due to its strategically important Sangdong mine in South Korea. Tungsten is indispensable for defense, aviation, electronics, and mechanical engineering, but until now has been virtually unavailable from conflict-free sources. Almonty is not only developing one of the largest deposits outside China, but could also become the most important tungsten producer in the Western world. This represents a unique opportunity from both an economic and geopolitical perspective.

Almonty fires up the turbo: Reaching new heights with tungsten and foresight
Almonty Industries (TSX: AII; WKN: A1JSSD; ISIN: CA0203981034; EUR 2.75) is set to become a key player in strategic raw material security in 2025, and with good reason. Despite a fourfold increase in its share price and a market value of over CAD 1.2 billion, the story is far from over. Of particular concern are the intensifying international tensions between the power blocs of the US, Europe, and China, which show no signs of easing. At recent summit meetings, it became clear that neither side is willing to make concessions, even on minor issues. Tariffs, inflation, high debt, and a dire supply situation on the commodity markets are further exacerbating the political rifts between East and West. At the center of this storm are commodity producers and industrial buyers who depend on stable supply chains. Here is an update on our top pick: Almonty Industries.

Unparalleled expertise in tungsten: Why Almonty Industries is in pole position
For around ten years, Almonty Industries has been synonymous with tungsten sourced from geopolitically stable regions. In just a few weeks, the massive Sangdong mine in South Korea will go into production, making the world significantly less dependent on tungsten from China. The market is rewarding this – Almonty's share price is now approximately 300% higher than it was six months ago. But outstanding mining projects, good timing, and even a bit of luck are not enough to explain Almonty's unique market position: the Company has a wealth of experience and know-how that is unmatched - and in the case of tungsten, which is considered challenging to mine and process, this will continue to make the difference for many years to come.

Is there a credit crunch coming? Alarm signals in the SME sector: Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Globex Mining
German SMEs are under pressure, struggling with the weight of the economic crisis, regulations and requirements, as well as increasingly poor financing conditions. According to Creditreform, German SMEs currently have little confidence in Germany as a business location. This mistrust is supported by a growing number of payment defaults. 11.2% of companies surveyed by Creditreform recently reported bad debt losses exceeding 1% of their turnover. Resourceful investors are already taking precautions.

Why Almonty Industries could become the BioNTech of critical metals
Between 2019 and 2021, investors in BioNTech witnessed a prime example of how a strategically relevant product – in this case, the COVID-19 vaccine – became a real stock market rocket thanks to government pressure, political support, and high public expectations. During this period, the share price rose from less than EUR 12.00 to over EUR 397.00. Those who invested early and were patient were able to achieve returns of over 3,200%. The decisive driver was not only technological innovation but also the government's determination to have the population vaccinated multiple times, which secured massive revenues for BioNTech. Today, a strikingly similar scenario is emerging with Almonty Industries (WKN: A1JSSD | ISIN: CA0203981034 | Ticker symbol: ALI) – only this time it is not about vaccines, but about the strategic raw material tungsten, which is indispensable for defense, aerospace, electronics, and mechanical engineering.

NATO's 5% target: Why Almonty Industries' mega mine and NASDAQ listing are a perfect fit for investors
Geopolitical conflicts and trade restrictions are making it increasingly difficult to source critical raw materials. Western companies in the high-tech and defense sectors are particularly struggling with scarce supplies and increasingly stringent export controls. With NATO's new 5% defense spending target, the battle for raw materials such as tungsten, which are essential for defense equipment, is set to gain further momentum. As a result, the demand for independent suppliers and the need for reliable partners with sufficient capacity is growing. Almonty Industries has already established a unique profile as a tungsten producer, with assets ranging from mines in Europe to the upcoming commissioning of a mega deposit in South Korea.

Almonty Industries: Analysts raise target price! 75% Upside Potential! CEO clearly backs Rheinmetall and Co. on CNBC
Anything other than further price increases for Almonty shares in the coming weeks would be a surprise. The tungsten gem is facing a hot summer. The main driver for the share price will be the commissioning of the mega mine in South Korea. Due to the increasing visibility of revenue and profit growth, analysts have significantly raised their price targets for the share. With its unique market position, the Company remains attractively valued compared to its peers. With the planned upcoming NASDAQ listing, the stock is expected to attract greater attention from US investors. That Almonty is gaining more visibility is underscored by CEO Lewis Black's recent interview with CNBC. In it, Black emphasized that Almonty already supplies 85% of its production to the defense sector. Rheinmetall, for example, needs tungsten to harden ammunition.

Cement 2.0: Argo Living Soils makes concrete smarter and more climate-friendly
Global CO₂ emissions are a significant contributor to global climate change. In addition to global transportation and energy use, the construction industry, particularly through concrete and cement, also plays a major role. According to a 2022 study by UNEP, the construction sector accounts for around 37% of global CO₂ emissions. Decarbonizing construction is, therefore, a key task in meeting international climate targets. With the founding of a specialized subsidiary and the use of bio-graphene, Canadian company Argo Living Soils is venturing into the concrete industry and combining ecological innovation with industrial scalability. It is worth taking a closer look because the potential is enormous!
