Mining in the Grey Zone: Barrick Mining, B2Gold, and the Unique Opportunity at Desert Gold
The search for raw materials is challenging. Companies are increasingly confronted with the reality that high-quality geological deposits are found in regions with high political volatility. The concept of "Mining in the Grey Zone," coined by Amanda van Dyke, founder of the Critical Minerals Hub, aptly describes this phenomenon: these are areas where weak state sovereignty intersects with the need to secure strategic mineral deposits. In her analyses, Van Dyke argues that traditional risk metrics often fail in these zones, as local power structures, informal networks, and on-the-ground presence are more critical to operational security than official national policies in capitals. For investors who bet on companies with expertise in countries like Mali, this can be an opportunity.

Powering the AI Revolution: OpenAI, Amazon, and Nuclear Pioneer American Atomics
The global economy is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation that experts describe as the beginning of a new infrastructure supercycle. While software innovations and platform economies have been at the forefront in recent decades, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has shifted the focus to the tangible prerequisites of digitalization: energy and computing power. The hunger for electricity triggered by the next generation of Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous AI agents is forging new alliances: Leading technology conglomerates and the nuclear industry have long been joining forces. According to recent analyses by Goldman Sachs, data center energy demand worldwide will more than double by the end of the decade, making the search for CO₂-free baseload power an existential issue for Silicon Valley. We shed light on this trend and highlight opportunities.

Gold Production Starting Soon, PEA Covers Only 10% of the Resource—the Rest Is Currently a Free Bonus at Desert Gold Ventures
Mali provides the cash flow, Côte d'Ivoire the potential—that is the simple equation at Desert Gold. While most junior miners are still struggling to secure their next round of financing, the Canadians are already constructing a gravity plant. Permits are in place, funding has been secured, and construction is underway. Those who wait may end up paying more later. Once the first ounce of gold is produced, the valuation logic typically changes fundamentally. This article explains why the pre-production phase could represent the more attractive entry point.

Hot Plays for Tomorrow's Power Supply: Are Siemens Energy, Nordex, and Standard Uranium About to Take Off?
Big money follows the power. While the major players in wind and grid technology, like Siemens Energy and Nordex, are finally regaining profitability after years of uncertainty, a smaller player in the far north of Canada is quietly preparing to move up the ranks. It is no longer just about green promises, but about hard market data and strategic raw material security. Can the German heavyweights sustain their upward momentum? And is Standard Uranium, after a painfully long sideways phase, really on the verge of doubling? We have analyzed the latest developments and highlighted why these three stocks could be set to move right now. The market is still catching its breath—but the calm before the storm may pass faster than many investors expect. Read on to see what signals the sector is sending at this moment.

This Gold Stock Is Attracting Investors! Lahontan Gold Poised for a Revaluation
Those who are not unsettled by the recent weakness in gold prices may currently find an attractive entry opportunity in the sector. There are several compelling reasons to consider shares of Lahontan Gold. In recent years, the company has focused on developing a massive gold deposit, with production set to begin as early as next year.

Almonty Industries: Tungsten Price at Record Levels, Signaling New Stock Highs
The price of tungsten has reached a new record high of over USD 3,200 per metric ton unit (MTU). Is this an overreaction or the new reality? Much points to a fundamentally changed long-term market situation with high prices for this critical raw material. Due to its unique properties, tungsten is an essential raw material for many industries, particularly the defense sector but also the semiconductor industry. Demand is rising dramatically, while supply cannot keep up. China dominates the market with an overwhelming 80% share, but a significant shift in favor of Western industrialized nations is underway. Almonty is emerging as the world's largest tungsten producer outside of China. Consequently, the company holds great geopolitical significance, which, despite its spectacular performance, has not yet been adequately reflected in the stock price.

Gold Rush 2.0: Why Barrick Mining, Agnico Eagle, and Kobo Resources Are Setting the Pace Now
