Rapidly dwindling mineral reserves, a lack of major discoveries in historically developed areas, and drastically increased geopolitical risks—the situation in the gold industry demands action. Leading companies must realign their portfolios to avoid valuation discounts. The search is on for deposits in stable jurisdictions that can be brought into production quickly with state-of-the-art infrastructure. According to regular analyses by the Fraser Institute, Botswana is emerging as the primary target area in Africa. The junior company North Arrow Minerals is positioning itself in a promising geological niche to systematically define a virtually untouched system with the Kraaipan Gold Project.

SpaceX IPO: Buy or Stay Away? Almonty Heading into Space—and Undervalued?

It is the stock market event of the year and the biggest IPO of all time. Elon Musk is taking SpaceX public. Despite an absurd valuation, it might be worth buying at least in the short term. An AI expert and tech analyst breaks down the facts and the hype, and his conclusion is interesting. The IPO is also having spillover effects on other space-related equities, with several stocks showing sharp short-term gains. And raw materials crucial to space travel are also coming into focus for investors. Tungsten, for example, plays a key role in aerospace applications such as rockets and satellites. The price of this critical metal is skyrocketing, and anyone looking to profit from it can hardly ignore Almonty Industries. The company recently made a milestone with the commissioning of its large-scale mine in South Korea. Analysts are projecting strong revenue and earnings growth in the coming years, with recent updates leading to higher price targets.

The IPO Boom is Hitting the Gold Market: Sunshine Silver, DRC Gold, and Kinross Gold in Focus

  • IPO

On June 12, Elon Musk plans to list SpaceX on the Nasdaq. With a valuation of USD 1.75 trillion, it is shaping up to be the largest initial public offering in history. But the pipeline of new listings is also gaining momentum in the commodities sector. Sunshine Silver Mining & Refining, for example, is preparing an IPO on the NYSE and aims to raise up to USD 330 million. And it is far from the only resource company seeking to go public this year. DRC Gold, meanwhile, appears particularly interesting from a takeover perspective. The Canadian company plans to bring two gold mines into production over the medium term. At the same time, Chile is increasingly becoming an Eldorado for gold miners, alongside its role as the world's leading copper producer. Kinross Gold is now planning a multi-billion-dollar investment there, but could also pursue further growth through acquisitions.

China's Antimony Embargo Strikes at the Heart of the US Defence Industry: Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and Others Must Rethink Their Strategies! Antimony Resources Corp. Could Be the Solution!

  • Mining
  • antimony
  • Defense
  • hightech
  • Technology

It sounds like the plot of a movie: a little-known metal—or more precisely, a semimetal—that influences the effectiveness of entire armies and military conflicts. But antimony is very real, and supplies are becoming increasingly scarce. China, Russia, and Tajikistan control the majority of global production. In September 2024, Beijing effectively tightened the supply tap, followed in December by an explicit export ban targeting the US. For defence giants like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics, this has major implications, as their procurement plans must be completely rethought and redesigned. Antimony is found in armour-piercing ammunition, heat-resistant cables for fighter jets, and the sensitive infrared sensors of the F-35. The vulnerability of supply chains is no longer a secret but has become a security risk. Against this backdrop, a small Canadian company is increasingly coming into focus: Antimony Resources. As the name suggests, it is all about antimony. What currently sounds like a speculative exploration story could ultimately become a strategic wildcard in the geopolitical landscape. The question for the future will therefore be: who will supply this critical metal to defence contractors?

Diversify Across Commodity Stocks: Wheaton Precious Metals, Globex Mining, Rio Tinto

  • Mining

  • PreciousMetals
  • Diversification

Not every investor wants to take on the risk associated with a single commodity stock. Nevertheless, there are effective ways to achieve broad diversification. The principle of royalties and streaming agreements has become firmly established in the commodities industry. Under these models, investors provide upfront financing and, in return, receive a defined share of the mined metals once production begins. In both cases, the operational and cost risks remain largely with the mine operator. With Wheaton Precious Metals, a multi-billion-dollar heavyweight has established itself as a leading player in the sector. Globex Mining is significantly smaller, but offers greater upside potential on the exploration side through its own project portfolio. Meanwhile, Rio Tinto represents an attractive alternative for investors seeking broad exposure to the metals sector.

RARE METAL, RARE OPPORTUNITY: ALMONTY INDUSTRIES BETWEEN THE DEFENSE BOOM AND AI HYPE

Almonty Industries is on track for profitability. The Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea has been in production since March 17, so a sustained return to profitability should now be just a formality. The transition from a promising stock to an indispensable raw materials supplier for the defence and semiconductor industries is being guided by a former Wall Street analyst who is well-connected in both the mining and financial sectors: in a few days, Jorge Beristain will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The Canadian with Mexican roots is the right man to explain to the financial world why Almonty shares, despite a spectacular multi-year rally, are by no means overvalued.

SELL BASF and Hensoldt? BUY Recommendation for Power Metallic Mines

Caution is advised with Hensoldt. Analysts see a potential 30% downside for the stock. The company is trading at a premium to industry peers such as Rheinmetall and Renk, despite slower growth. While the partnerships with Helsing and Schwarz Digits are interesting, they are unlikely to contribute significantly to revenue in the foreseeable future. In contrast, analysts see 100% upside potential for Power Metallic Mines, specifically in the base-case scenario. The first resource estimate is scheduled for this summer. According to analyst estimates, the company could thus transition from a pure exploration valuation to a resource-based valuation phase sooner than previously expected. Analysts foresee difficult times ahead for BASF. The structural problems remain unresolved, and the stock is a "Sell". The chemical giant is attempting to counter these challenges through optimization measures and the increased use of AI technologies.

Gold Rush! Crisis Hedge! Nevada Stock Near Mega Signal: Lahontan Gold Shines as Iran and Ukraine Conflicts Escalate

Between hope and apprehension into the new week after Pentecost. While the world was recently fixated on New Delhi and Washington, where US Secretary of State Rubio hinted at a historic peace agreement in the Iran war, this could lead to a sharp decline in oil prices in the near future. At the same time, a Russian Oreshnik missile strike shook Ukraine. The heaviest air assault in years, using Putin's new hypersonic weapon near the Ukrainian capital, sends an unmistakable warning to all of Europe. Two crisis hotspots that could reshape the global political landscape. Global geopolitical tensions are reaching a concerning peak due to the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the recent escalations in the Iran war. At a time when confidence in traditional paper assets is waning, and investors worldwide are seeking safe havens, the topic of hedging is once again coming into sharp focus. While the physical gold price is forming an increasingly tight sideways consolidation resembling a string of pearls from a technical perspective, a promising junior miner in one of the "safest mining regions in the world" is preparing for an upward breakout. Lahontan Gold is exceptionally well-capitalized and is making operational progress in the heart of Nevada. Investors looking to strategically shield their portfolios against global crisis storms that may still lie ahead (notably Taiwan and China) should urgently pay attention to the latest developments at this promising gold developer.

Capitalize on the copper supercycle with Rio Tinto, Power Metallic Mines, and Freeport-McMoRan

  • Mining
  • PGMs
  • Copper
  • Electrification

The rapid electrification of the global economy is colliding with depleted copper inventories. Power grids, AI data centers, and electric vehicles are consuming vast amounts of the conductive metal, while mining projects are getting stuck in regulatory bottlenecks. This divergence is not creating a short-lived hype cycle, but rather a long-term supercycle. For investors, the landscape can be seen in three layers: the financially strong global player, the polymetallic explorer with hidden potential, and the pure producer that directly benefits from copper price movements. Those who understand these roles can effectively turn scarcity into returns. The opportunity is clear for savvy investors. The three key names are Rio Tinto, Power Metallic Mines, and Freeport-McMoRan.

A High-Tech Revival and Gold Stock with a 500% Chance! SAP, Oracle, Desert Gold, Deutsche Telekom, and T-Mobile US

The stock markets continue their roller-coaster ride. No wonder, since amid the current, sometimes confusing flood of news, one fact is often overlooked: wars and geopolitical tensions stifle economic growth and unsettle consumers. Although the defence industry is swamped with orders, the rest of the economy is grappling with the consequences of these conflicts: high energy prices, uncertainty, and fragile supply chains. With governments' exploding borrowing needs and falling tax revenues, interest rates are now rising noticeably, which is further fueling inflation. In this environment, gold can thrive; from a purely technical perspective, a solid floor now appears to have been established at USD 4,500. SAP and Oracle have so far lagged behind the major AI and high-tech rally, and Deutsche Telekom has been trading 30% higher, a good reason for a few deeper insights.
