Almonty Industries: The NASDAQ countdown is on! Everyone wants a piece of the Tungsten Gem!
The countdown to Almonty's IPO on the NASDAQ is underway. The reverse split took place on Friday, and further details were released yesterday. A capital increase of around 10% is being supported by renowned banks. The fresh capital is intended to be used to extend the value chain. This move should enable Almonty to consolidate its position as the most important tungsten supplier in the West. The share price is responding with a spectacular rise. In addition, Europe appears to be slowly awakening to the issue of critical raw materials. Almonty stands to benefit from this as well. The outlook for this tungsten gem remains bright. The share price performance is more than just FOMO; it is based on geopolitical and operational fundamentals.

Attention: Critical Metals as Future Boosters! thyssenkrupp, Power Metallic, Hensoldt, and Nordex
The start of the second half of the year is bringing new record highs, but volatility remains high. The stock markets are currently in turmoil, with prices changing direction almost daily. This is driven by new headlines about trade tariffs, geopolitical power games, and the question of global security. While the world is currently focused on armed conflicts, a key issue is increasingly coming to the fore for stock market traders: critical metals. These raw materials, ranging from rare earths and copper to gallium and titanium, are the backbone of modern technologies, green transformation, and military strength. In the defense industry, shortages of critical metals could now become a strategic risk, a fact that many still underestimate. Western industrialized nations are therefore increasing efforts to secure raw material sources and reduce their dependence on geopolitically fragile suppliers. Where are the new high-yield champions for your portfolio?

Gold and defense stocks on trend – Alamos Gold, AJN Resources, Lockheed Martin
Increasing geopolitical conflicts and escalating wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, coupled with global trade policies that are increasingly lacking a clear strategy - we are currently living in the most uncertain times in decades. Even though stock indices around the world are still moving from one all-time high to the next, caution is advised. The beneficiaries, on the other hand, are clear. In addition to a booming defense industry fueled by the current era of rearmament, gold is once again asserting its role as a safe haven.

Tungsten and molybdenum for the US military and Elon Musk: Why Almonty's NASDAQ listing could provide the next boost
Tungsten is harder than steel and only melts at 3,422 degrees - no wonder it is used in rockets, industrial robots, semiconductors, and many other high-tech applications. However, 84% of the world's critical metal comes from China, which poses a strategic risk to the West. Since the Chinese government imposed export restrictions, there has been significant upheaval. This is where Almonty Industries comes in. With mines in South Korea, Portugal, and Spain, the Company is building the largest independent tungsten pipeline outside China. For investors, Almonty is thus becoming a lever for raw material independence.

Is this trend the next big thing? Hensoldt, BASF, Antimony Resources
Antimony is used in many high-tech applications, including the F-35 fighter jet. But as with tungsten, China also dominates the market for antimony. This unique semi-metal is found in the products of many German industrial companies. A young raw materials company from Canada is now preparing to produce antimony outside China and ensure security of supply. Following the recent release of outstanding drilling results, potential industrial partners are likely to be taking notice. How dependent are Hensoldt and BASF on antimony, and could Antimony Resources become the next Almonty?

RENK, Globex Mining, BYD: The raw materials gap – A threat to defense and e-mobility, An opportunity for miners
Global industry is facing a turning point. While defense giants like RENK are experiencing record demand yet continue to face investor skepticism, and electric vehicle leader BYD grapples with market saturation, raw materials are redefining the competitive landscape. Raw materials such as tungsten, antimony, and rare earths are essential for high-tech industries. Globex Mining is directly benefiting from this shortage of strategic metals – an effect that is permeating supply chains, from tank manufacturing to electric vehicle production. The diverging paths of these three players underscore the importance of supply security in determining success. An analysis of the current status of RENK, Globex Mining, and BYD reveals the strategic levers for future value creation.

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.

The gold hammer! Goldman Sachs predicts USD 4,500 – Barrick, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and thyssenkrupp
The highest current estimate by investment banks for the price of gold is USD 4,500 per ounce by the end of 2025. This is the extreme scenario from Goldman Sachs, which could materialize in the event of a severe recession or major geopolitical escalation. In addition to the ever-present war scenarios, the economic outlook in the US also remains a source of uncertainty. The prospect of persistently high interest rates is fueling inflation concerns, with many wealthy investors pulling out of the dollar and increasingly turning to gold. This is also because US fiscal policy is perceived as increasingly chaotic. Additional tariffs are pushing the budget deficit even higher, creating an environment in which tangible assets are becoming more attractive. The increased demand for gold from institutional investors, funds, and central banks sends a clear message: the precious metals sector is on the verge of a new upswing.

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.

Explosive atmosphere in the lithium triangle – Europe stands to benefit: Albemarle, European Lithium, Mercedes-Benz
Electric vehicles need lithium. However, it is not that easy to obtain. According to a report in Die Welt, two companies from China and Russia are currently encountering difficulties in Bolivia. The reason: indigenous peoples have launched a wave of protests and are doing everything they can to prevent lithium mining in the country. Germany had already failed with a similar initiative in Bolivia. The indigenous peoples along the border with Argentina see themselves as the sole and rightful owners of the "white gold." As a result, the "lithium triangle" between Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, which is home to more than half of the world's lithium reserves, is increasingly becoming a no-go area for companies. We explain the alternatives available and who stands to benefit the most.
