Middle East Escalates Shortages: Supply Chains at Risk - Nordex, Antimony Resources, and Siemens Energy
Prepared and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East once again highlights how vulnerable global supply chains for critical metals are when a strategic chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz comes under pressure. What matters here is not so much the direct transport of metals through the strait, but rather its importance to global energy trade; a disruption there would rapidly drive up the costs of energy-intensive metals such as aluminum, copper, or nickel. Higher freight rates, more expensive insurance, and longer routes would further increase logistics costs and significantly slow down just-in-time structures in many industries. Raw materials that are indispensable for the energy transition, digitalization, and defense would be particularly affected. A recent study concludes that a prolonged blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt global trade flows worth up to USD 1.2 trillion annually. Which stocks are now in the spotlight?

The Pentagon, AI Giants, and Fusion Researchers All Need One Material – Demand Is Rising, and Almonty Industries Is Delivering
Artificial intelligence devours chips, nuclear fusion consumes extreme heat, and the semiconductor industry is grappling with physical limits. All three fields of the future have one thing in common: they require tungsten. The metal, known for its exceptional hardness and heat resistance, is used in semiconductor interconnects, high-performance electronics, and withstands the stresses of fusion reactors. Yet China controls around 83% of global supply and is restricting exports. This is precisely where an opportunity is emerging for Western producers. Industry experts warn that the metal is virtually irreplaceable. Almonty Industries has already set the course and is ramping up operations at the largest tungsten mine outside of China, located in South Korea. This is helping establish a backbone for Western supply.

Lahontan Gold: On the Way to Nevada's Next Gold Mine
The US state of Nevada is one of the world's largest gold producers. It is home to several world-class gold mines, with Newmont and Barrick Mining dominating the scene through the Nevada Gold Mines complex. Lahontan Gold is on track to build the next mine in the famous Walker-Lane trend. The Canadians are aiming for an annual production of up to 80,000 ounces of gold. Given the company's low valuation, this presents an entry opportunity for investors with a medium- to long-term focus.

Price Multipliers Possible? Speculative Plays Plug Power, Nel ASA, and Desert Gold in Focus
Investors are increasingly seeking stocks that not only promise stability but also offer real breakout opportunities or even the potential for significant gains. While the major hydrogen pioneers Plug Power and Nel ASA are finally trending upward again after a long dry spell, a gold player is also poised to surge. Desert Gold Ventures is currently providing data that could indicate massive undervaluation. As alternative energies return to the spotlight due to global crises and the gold price simultaneously tests old record highs, an explosive mix is emerging in portfolios containing these three stocks. In this report, we examine why these stocks have the potential to multiply in value in the foreseeable future.

Tungsten Alert: China Becomes an Importer and Almonty Shares Soar to All-Time High
Alert in the tungsten market! As demand rises for this metal, which is critical not only for defense and semiconductors, China is now becoming an importer as well. Yet China is already by far the largest producer. This is likely to pose even greater challenges for Western corporations. News from Japan and Korea points in this direction. The biggest beneficiary is Almonty Industries. With operational tungsten mines in Portugal and South Korea, and soon in the US as well, it is arguably the only major producer in the West. Analysts expect revenue and profits to surge. The stock is trading at an all-time high, but based on analysts' earnings expectations for 2027, it still does not appear to be overvalued. The chances of the rally continuing are good.

Focus on Critical Infrastructure: Power Metallic Mines Shines, Heidelberger Druck & LPKF Laser Ready to Take Off
The Strait of Hormuz is currently one of the most frequently cited geopolitical buzzwords in international media. At the same time, potential supply chain bottlenecks involving critical metals have been the subject of intense discussion for months. The valuation of high-tech and AI companies is largely based on the continuous expansion of computing capacities and the necessary electrical infrastructure. This transformation process requires enormous quantities of industrial metals and strategic raw materials. In the ongoing war scenario, however, everything is being put to the test! Against this backdrop, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself with its NISK project in a market environment increasingly shaped by raw material security and supply chain stability. On the other hand, Heidelberger Druck and LPKF Laser are betting on an operational turnaround with different technological approaches. We analyze the relevant drivers, risks, and valuation prospects in detail.

Gold as a Safe Haven Amid Middle East Tensions: Lahontan Gold Advances with Confidence—Following in the Wake of Barrick Mining and Newmont
Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to unsettle financial markets, and gold is once again coming into focus as a proven safe haven for investors. Projects in stable mining regions such as Nevada benefit particularly from this environment, as they combine security of supply, legal certainty, and predictable production prospects. This is exactly where Lahontan Gold stands with its advanced Santa Fe project in the historic Walker-Lane Gold Belt. As already impressively demonstrated by industry giants Barrick Mining and Newmont in Nevada, Lahontan Gold is also unfolding a classic development story with significant leverage on rising gold prices. For investors, this could result in a rare combination: a growing gold developer in one of the safest mining regions in the world, with a clear path to the next major valuation surge. The stock has shown impressive strength for months, and the rally should now get another boost.

GOLD RUSH IN WEST AFRICA: HOW DESERT GOLD VENTURES, THOR EXPLORATIONS, AND ZIJIN MINING ARE BENEFITING
Due to high gold prices, West Africa is increasingly attracting investor attention as one of the world's most productive mining regions. Chinese giant Zijin Mining is doing everything in its power to catch up with the market leaders, but faces growing political hurdles. At the same time, Thor Explorations is demonstrating how to successfully establish itself as a highly efficient cash cow, while its much smaller competitor, Desert Gold Ventures, is on the verge of making the leap from explorer to producer.

Price Surge: What is Behind the Moves in D-Wave, Heidelberger, and Group Eleven?
These three stocks are currently causing a stir. Group Eleven Resources is a high-flyer in the commodities sector. The stock has surged by around 70% since the end of February. The company is currently developing a zinc, lead, and silver project in Europe. The latest update suggests the rally will continue. D-Wave has made a comeback with a price explosion of over 50%. After a price drop of around 70%, this was sorely needed. The momentum came from Nvidia, not the company itself. And what is happening at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen? After the euphoria over its entry into the drone business, a profit warning brought a dose of reality. The core business is weakening, but analysts see a buying opportunity.

The Next Commodity Shock Is Coming – Almonty Industries in the Spotlight
Amid geopolitical tensions, tungsten is emerging as one of the world’s most strategically important metals. With the highest melting point of any element, exceptional hardness, and high density, it is indispensable for military equipment, semiconductors, and future technologies such as nuclear fusion. And the situation is becoming increasingly dire. Export restrictions from China, new US laws on securing raw materials, and a structural supply gap are driving prices up massively. The APT price has already surpassed the USD 3,000 per MTU mark, and the trend is still rising. In this environment, Almonty Industries is coming into sharp focus.
