Capitalize on the Copper Shortage: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Intel in the Spotlight of the Supply Crisis

  • Mining
  • PGMs
  • Copper
  • Electromobility
  • AI

The recent copper rally is not just a short-term fad, but a fundamental shift. Automakers, commodity firms, and chip companies are suddenly all caught up in the same trend. That is because the energy transition and the AI boom are devouring vast quantities of the red metal. While BYD, as an electric vehicle giant, uses massive amounts of copper, Power Metallic Mines, as a raw materials supplier, secures polymetallic deposits. Intel, in turn, needs the metal for the cooling infrastructure of its AI data centers. Supply shortages and geopolitical risks are intensifying the race. Amid this tension, we are focusing on three companies: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Intel.

Take note! The stock market is (still) ignoring key developments at Desert Gold, Evotec, and Mutares!

The past few weeks have been challenging for stock market traders. However, investors should not dwell too long on missed opportunities; they still exist across a wide range of industries and for various reasons. Desert Gold, Evotec, and Mutares currently stand out. These companies have one thing in common: their groundbreaking progress has so far been ignored by the stock market and is only partially reflected in their prices. This opens up lucrative opportunities for forward-thinking investors. Analysts see significant upside potential for all three stocks. Who is leading the race?

The Big Tungsten Question: Shortages – Price Spikes – Nervousness! Almonty Provides Answers

Shortages, price hysteria, jitters—who is keeping their cool in the critical metals market? Almonty has the answer and, for several weeks now, has been a new source for the critical element tungsten. In an environment where geopolitical fires and supply uncertainties keep commodity markets on their toes, and new realities emerge daily, the question of alternative sources for critical metals is gaining traction. The major stock indices are feeling this nervousness, with prices on a rollercoaster ride, but after a pronounced rally over the past 24 months, many assets are no longer cheap. With metal prices having increased tenfold, it is far more difficult for analysts to set fair price targets for producers. An interesting debate is unfolding; experts are sharpening their pencils, and investors are looking at charts that so far point in only one direction: northward. We provide a few facts.

The Clock Is Ticking in Europe: How Group Eleven, Volkswagen, and thyssenkrupp Are Positioning for the Transition

  • decarbonization

  • geopolitics

The global economy is being shaken up by three major forces: the push for decarbonization, geopolitical tensions, and the race toward electromobility. For the steel industry in Europe, this means a tough transition—after all, it accounts for 7% of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the EU mandates that by 2030, one-tenth of strategic raw materials must come from domestic sources. Vehicle manufacturers, in turn, are grappling with Scope 3 emissions from their supply chains. Energy prices are skyrocketing, supply chains are breaking down—but that is precisely where opportunities lie. We take a look at the current situation at Group Eleven Resources, Volkswagen, and thyssenkrupp.

The gold sector is in the throes of price, takeover, and IPO fever! Lahontan Gold is becoming a money-printing machine!

  • Nevada

Things are heating up again in the gold sector. The price per ounce is marching toward USD 4,700. Experts believe a year-end price of around USD 6,000 is possible, with the trend continuing upward. The takeover carousel is also spinning again. A billion-dollar merger is in the works in Australia, and it could even lead to a bidding war. Meanwhile, Barrick Mining wants to take its US operations public because the company believes they are undervalued. The heart of "North American Barrick" is Nevada Gold Mines, a key driver behind the expected valuation of more than USD 60 billion. The IPO is drawing the attention of global gold investors to Nevada's world-class mining jurisdiction. There, Lahontan Gold is currently in what is likely the most value-creating phase of the entire corporate cycle: the transition from explorer to producer. As early as next year, the company aims to produce gold at a cost of USD 1,200 per ounce and "print money."

Alarm bells are ringing at BioNTech! Billions at Hensoldt! Buying opportunity at North Arrow Minerals!

"Buy first, then kill," was how Tübingen Mayor Boris Palmer reacted to BioNTech's planned site closures. The reason is that, within this framework, virtually all sites of the recently acquired CureVac are set to be shut down. A CureVac co-founder has also made serious allegations, and BioNTech shares are declining. At the same time, there may be an opportunity for rising prices with a gold gem. While the gold price continues to consolidate, there are arguments in favour of an investment in North Arrow Minerals. The company has repositioned itself and is now focusing on an interesting gold project. Just a few kilometres away lies the multi-million-ounce Harmony Gold Kalgold open-pit mine. Meanwhile, Hensoldt has outperformed its industry peers, Rheinmetall and RENK, so far this year. Yesterday, it became clear that there are indeed good reasons for this. So, should investors buy now?

From Niche Metal to Strategic Asset: Antimony Resources Gains Relevance for Rheinmetall and BASF

Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.

What was long considered an obscure niche metal is now critical to the defence, chemical, and energy sectors. Antimony is used to harden alloys, improve flame resistance in plastics, and support certain battery technologies. At the same time, China controls 70% of production and strictly limits its exports. The result is price spikes of over 400% within two years. Without independent sources, Western industries risk being paralyzed. This is not a theoretical scenario, but an acute reality. Reason enough to take a closer look at the defence contractor Rheinmetall, the up-and-coming antimony producer Antimony Resources, and the chemical company BASF.

Geopolitical Winners: Kinross Gold, Standard Uranium, and Lynas Rare Earths

The conflict in the Persian Gulf has overshadowed many geopolitical issues, but it has also brought some problem areas to light. One thing is clear: the world is building new supply chains, especially the West. Lynas Rare Earths is in pole position in the rare earths market as the largest producer outside China. Standard Uranium, in turn, can benefit from the boom in energy demand and the shift by many countries back to nuclear energy. Not least, more and more countries and central banks are shunning the dollar. Who wants to be blackmailed by Washington? Accordingly, gold producers like Kinross Gold find themselves in a sweet spot, as the latest quarterly figures also show.

Is this where the all-in-one worry-free mine is taking shape? What the industry needs now, who benefits – Power Metallic Mines, BMW, Lundin Mining

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • PGMs
  • Copper
  • Nickel
  • Electromobility

Investing in the early stages of mineral exploration is a risky endeavour—especially when betting on low-grade deposits in politically unstable regions. Savvy investors avoid these unpredictable risks and instead focus on strategically high-grade deposits in first-class jurisdictions like Canada. When a project can simultaneously demonstrate significant grades of copper, platinum group metals (PGMs), and nickel, this is of existential importance to the industry, especially today. In the wake of the global energy transition and the rapid rise of new key technologies, the search for reliable supply chains has gained momentum. While demand for battery metals and other industrial raw materials is skyrocketing, traditional mining regions are under increasing pressure from geopolitical conflicts. In this market environment, the wheat is being separated from the chaff: Only those who can combine first-class geology with absolute geopolitical security will prevail in the coming commodities supercycle. We present three exciting companies.

Lahontan Gold: Those who hesitate will miss out on this stock rocket

Investors seeking a compelling, lucrative investment story in the gold sector may have found it in Lahontan Gold. An excellent team with a keen sense of geology and timing, ample financial resources, top-notch drilling data and assets, and a clear plan for when investors can expect the next value-enhancing milestones speaks for itself. As early as next month, an updated resource estimate could lay the groundwork for a revaluation. A new economic feasibility study is expected in September, which should underscore the company's undervaluation. With production scheduled to begin in late 2027 and the prospect of a US listing, additional catalysts are emerging. Against the backdrop of high gold prices and a resource potential of 3 million ounces of gold, the company could also increasingly come into focus as an acquisition target for larger producers.
