Billions for Hydrogen Steel: thyssenkrupp Needs the Raw Materials – Strategic Resources and Rio Tinto Aim to Supply Them

  • decarbonization

The steel industry accounts for about 7% of global CO₂ emissions. It must become climate-neutral by 2050—and the key is green hydrogen. But without high-purity iron ore pellets and alloying metals like vanadium, the technology remains ineffective. This is precisely where a long-established corporation suddenly becomes a customer. thyssenkrupp can only operate its multi-billion-euro hydrogen direct-reduction plant in Duisburg economically if reliable suppliers provide the necessary raw materials. Strategic Resources and Rio Tinto could play an important role in supplying the required raw material qualities.

333% Gains: What Comes Next for AMD, LPKF Laser, and Group Eleven?

Erratic movements – sky-high valuations! Right now, investors get the impression that AI and data centers are set to become the salvation of the global economy for the next 100 years. Of course, building AI infrastructure costs the tech giants enormous amounts of money. At the same time, the architects behind these systems are making a fortune. In principle, however, it is a cycle: what one company invests becomes another company's profit. Project this dynamic three years into the future, and nearly every major industry will have implemented its own generative AI systems. From entry-level employees to skilled workers and even at the executive level, there is now dramatic potential for cost savings, which in turn improves the bottom line. But at the end of the day, many people may lose their all-important jobs. The result is obvious: consumption is declining, and ultimately, growth is being replaced by contraction. Dynamic investors are riding the current rallies and then exiting at the right moment. What matters most is timing. Here are a few ideas.

100% Rally Started? MP Materials, Standard Lithium, and Power Metallic Mines in Focus!

Has the 100% rally already begun for Power Metallic Mines? At least that is the level of upside potential suggested by analysts. The copper explorer continues to report strong drilling results from its flagship project in Canada, and the stock is gradually gaining momentum. Listening to the CEO, it becomes clear that the share may still have significant upside potential ahead. Potential also exists at MP Materials, the only producer and processor of rare earth elements in the US. However, the company now carries a market capitalization of around USD 12 billion. Most recently, it released quarterly results — the key question is whether the upward trend can continue. A similar trend has recently started to form at Standard Lithium as well. The company also reported on its first-quarter 2026 developments. Investors are now eagerly awaiting the final investment decision for the South-West Arkansas (SWA) project. The timing of that decision remains a key focal point for the market.

Gold Boom in Nevada: Is Lahontan Gold on the Verge of a Major Breakout?

Gold is in greater demand than it has been in years as a safe-haven asset, even though the recent rally has temporarily lost momentum. Amid this environment, one company is attracting increasing attention: Lahontan Gold Corp. With high-potential projects in mining-friendly Nevada and recent developments generating strong market interest, the stock appears to be approaching a pivotal phase. While the gold price searches for fresh momentum, an intriguing technical setup is emerging in Lahontan's chart. A breakout above CAD 0.44 could pave the way for a move toward significantly higher resistance zones. Is the stage being set for a new success story in the Nevada gold sector? We examine why the latest developments at Lahontan Gold may represent more than just short-term momentum and explore the untapped value hidden in the historic Santa Fe tailings piles.

What the quarterly results show: Almonty becomes the tungsten backbone of the West – support from Bank of America and Lockheed Martin

  • geopolitics

Without control over critical minerals, there can be no security or economic resilience. This simple equation captures the current situation facing the US. Tungsten, the metal with the highest melting point of all elements and a density comparable to that of gold, is at the center of this development. Long considered a niche metal, tungsten has become a strategic bottleneck due to geopolitical tensions and the large-scale expansion of defence capabilities. In many industrial, defence, and high-tech applications, this unique heavy metal is indispensable. This week, Almonty released its first quarterly results since the start of production at its large Sangdong mine in South Korea. The new figures indicate that the company's transformation into a profitable producer of global significance has been completed. Almonty is now positioned for further expansion.

Why Barrick Mining and Newmont Corp. Could Rebound Now, and Desert Gold Could Be Poised for a Price Surge!

Given all the negative news, one gets the immediate sense that the global economy might be teetering on the brink of collapse. That is when thoughts inevitably turn to the safest asset in history. Gold has made a resounding comeback in recent months and years. In times of global instability, investors are increasingly turning to the big names in the gold sector, such as Barrick Mining and Newmont Corp., which, after reaching their highs and subsequently undergoing a consolidation phase, could now be on the verge of a massive rebound. But while these gold giants provide stability, something is brewing in West Africa for those with a more speculative mindset. Desert Gold Ventures is on the verge of becoming a producer and is currently delivering a barrage of news that should not be ignored—and every piece of news packs a punch. In this report, we analyze why the combination of the industry leaders' fundamental strength and the operational momentum at a junior explorer currently represents one of the most exciting scenarios in the commodities market. Will the ambitious price targets set by GBC analysts soon become a reality for Desert Gold?

Almonty Industries: No investor should miss out on this strategic investment!

As the saying goes, political stock markets are short-lived. But as we all know, there are no rules without exceptions. Nervousness on the stock markets has now subsided again. However, the Iran conflict and its associated economic repercussions cannot be ignored. How can investors position themselves in this environment? Commodity producers in general, and particularly those producing critical raw materials, will be among the winners, regardless of how the stock markets perform in the coming quarters. And this is where Almonty Industries stands out. The company is one of the leading producers of the critical raw material tungsten. Tungsten has become indispensable across several industries and is virtually irreplaceable, and the market has undergone a fundamental shift. Prices are surging, and Almonty Industries is the only source of Western production outside of China, which dominates 80% of the market. Almonty's enormous geopolitical significance is one of the many reasons to buy the stock, which analysts believe has significant upside potential.

China's Stranglehold and the Achilles' Heel of Military Build-Up: The Thriller Involving Rheinmetall, RENK, and Antimony Resources

Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.

The world is arming itself, and on the stock market, the big names in the defence industry celebrated an unprecedented rally. But recently, things have been going downhill for Rheinmetall & Co. on the stock market! Behind the gleaming facades of factory buildings and the impressive order books of Rheinmetall and RENK lies an uncomfortable truth. The massive production of ammunition and high-performance propulsion systems also depends on an almost forgotten raw material that China controls almost single-handedly. Antimony is the secret link that determines victory or defeat in industrial logistics. While industry giants search for stable sources, a Canadian exploration company is emerging that could close a strategic gap in the West. It is a game with extremely high stakes, where geopolitics, military necessity, and enormous profit opportunities collide head-on. When might share prices for Rheinmetall & Co. start rising again?

The world is changing at an ever-faster pace. While the first phase of decarbonization was primarily driven by renewable energy from wind and solar power, the unprecedented rise of AI models has exposed a weakness in this strategy - the lack of carbon-free baseload power. For this reason, alliances are now forming between the tech giants of Silicon Valley and the resource pioneers of Canada's Athabasca Basin. The goal: to secure the future of digital infrastructure. The global energy landscape is thus at a turning point where purely ideological debate is giving way to harsh economic reality. While the years following the Paris Agreement were marked by ambitious goals, the current decade is defined by industrial sovereignty and profitability. We highlight opportunities.

The Gold Supercycle Is Underway. Lahontan Gold Aims to Deliver by 2028 at the Latest. Three Deposits, One Processing Facility — A Story Worth a Closer Look!

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver

Three gold deposits, a single processing facility, and a logistics setup so simple it almost seems trivial. That is precisely what currently makes the Canadian development company Lahontan Gold an interesting case for investors looking to position themselves ahead of the next potential gold producer. While many mining projects struggle with inadequate infrastructure or complex permitting processes, Lahontan is relying on a former producing mine with historical infrastructure, a nearby satellite project, and legacy heap-leach piles that others once considered worthless. The concept is straightforward — and the execution appears carefully thought out.
