The bomb has dropped! Gold from 5,600 to 4,600 and now back again? Crazy times with Barrick Mining, DRC Gold, and Strategy
BANG! Investors could not react fast enough as gold and silver prices plunged last Friday. There were many explanations for this sell-off: derivative positions of major banks, which had really hurt during the steep upward trend of recent weeks. Then a few speculators jumped in, hoping to grab a slice of the pie. And finally, a dash of panic. Silver collapsed by a full 40% from USD 122 to USD 72, while gold corrected by around USD 1,000, or 20%, down to USD 4,600. At the start of the week, a slight stabilization is now visible, but volatility remains. The environment is still fragile. Gold stocks like Barrick Mining and DRC Gold are feeling the impact. Looking beyond the metals to Bitcoin, one loser comes into focus: Strategy, Michael Saylor's BTC asset management company. How will the mess continue?

BYD sales figures plummet! Power Metallic Mines as the raw materials king and Volkswagen on a transformation course
The electromobility boom is facing its toughest reality: the battle for lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, and rare earths. While demand continues to rise, access to these critical raw materials will determine the winners and losers of the new era. This supply-side bottleneck confronts three very different players with fundamentally different challenges: the Chinese EV giant BYD in its tense domestic market, the up-and-coming supplier Power Metallic Mines, with its vast source of raw materials, and the long-established automaker Volkswagen, which is deep into a costly transformation. We take a closer look at where each stands today.

The gold correction is irrelevant here: Why Desert Gold is the missing piece of the puzzle for B2Gold and Allied Gold
The gold market is in a phase that analysts now refer to as a supercycle. With prices breaking historical records, smart capital is turning its attention to the world's most productive regions – even after the recent correction in precious metals. West Africa, and specifically the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), is considered the geological heartland. This is where some of the largest and richest mines on the planet are located. But the business follows an inexorable logic: even the largest mines are emptying, and the processing plants need to be kept busy. This is true in the south of the zone for Canadian giant B2Gold with its world-class Fekola mine and in the north for Allied Gold, which is revitalizing the historic Sadiola asset. Desert Gold is considered a potential supporter of both companies. The company controls the largest non-producing land parcel in the entire region, located precisely between the two giants. This makes Desert Gold extremely interesting for investors.

US government pours billions into USA Rare Earth - Could Antimony Resources be next?
Almonty Industries, MP Materials, and other commodity stocks have already demonstrated the new reality: in today's geopolitical environment, commodities are becoming critical, and stock prices can multiply dramatically. Antimony Resources offers investors an opportunity to participate at a comparatively early stage. History shows that when mining companies transition from explorer to producer, valuations can move into the billions. Despite a strong rally, Antimony Resources is still valued at "only" around EUR 50 million. Due to pressure from the US government and a mining-friendly jurisdiction, Antimony Resources could advance toward production significantly faster than is typical in the sector. A direct involvement by the US government would not be surprising. After investments in MP Materials, Vulcan Elements, and Trilogy Metals, the Trump administration recently pumped billions into USA Rare Earth. Could Antimony Resources be next?

Crash as a reality check for AMD and First Majestic: Why silver and AI are correcting while Almonty stands firm on rising tungsten prices
Market sentiment has shifted sharply in recent weeks: what began as profit-taking has developed into a real stress test for investors' nerves. The sectors most celebrated in recent months – AI stocks and precious metals – have taken a beating. Yet amid this turmoil, one phenomenon is emerging that should make investors sit up and take notice: the tungsten market is completely decoupled from the crash and, seemingly immune to Wall Street panic, is hitting new highs. Tungsten, the indispensable backbone of Western defense and heavy industry, is becoming more expensive while almost everything else is falling. In this environment, Almonty Industries is emerging as a quasi-monopolist with excellent prospects to deliver long-term gains for its shareholders.

Antimony Resources – Geopolitical commodity leverage
The world is heading toward a new commodity conflict, and antimony is suddenly in the spotlight. Neither the defense industry nor modern technologies can function without this metal. But, as with rare earths, the West is dependent on China. Amid this geopolitical imbalance, Antimony Resources Corp. is coming into focus. The Company is developing one of the more advanced and promising antimony projects in North America in a secure jurisdiction and with convincing recent progress. This presents investors with a rare opportunity to invest early in a strategic commodity that is becoming increasingly valuable, both politically and economically.

Not all nickel is created equal: How Power Metallic Mines stands out from the crowd – Talon Metals and Magna Mining as role models
The nickel market has been experiencing a split for some time now, forcing investors to rethink their strategies. At first glance, there is enough of this important industrial metal available, as Indonesia has flooded the markets in the past with material from its huge laterite deposits. But appearances can be deceiving. There have long been two markets for nickel: a market for bulk nickel, which is produced primarily in Indonesia with high energy consumption and questionable environmental standards, and a premium market for high-purity, ESG-compliant sulfide nickel, which is indispensable for the high-performance batteries of the Western automotive industry. While prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) are capped by the Indonesian oversupply, strategists such as Tesla and GM are paying significant premiums behind closed doors for material that is not only chemically pure but also geopolitically and ecologically sound. In this exclusive club of North American nickel projects, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself as one of the most exciting stocks. With its high-grade NISK discovery in Québec, the Company occupies precisely the niche that Donald Trump has declared a matter of national security through the US "One Big Beautiful Bill" legislation.

Uranium rush in the Athabasca Basin: Stallion Uranium follows in the footsteps of NexGen Energy – an opportunity for Cameco too?
The global energy industry is currently experiencing a renaissance that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. Driven by the insatiable appetite for electricity of AI data centers and the geopolitical imperative to become independent of fossil fuel imports, nuclear power is making a comeback as an indispensable source of base load power. However, the nuclear power comeback is facing a harsh reality: the supply of nuclear fuel is lagging behind demand. While reactors are running longer and new ones are coming online, suppliers' inventories are running low. This structural supply deficit has sparked a race for the few remaining world-class deposits. The center of this search is in Saskatchewan, Canada, more specifically in the southwestern Athabasca Basin. A clear hierarchy has emerged here. Industry giant Cameco must produce, developer NexGen Energy has proven the geological potential, and explorer Stallion Uranium has secured the strategically crucial land package to cause a sensation with the next big discovery. We get to the bottom of the details.

Electromobility needs graphite just as much as AI needs energy – a closer look at BYD, Graphano Energy, and Intel
The energy transition will reach a critical point in 2026: storage facilities will become systemically important infrastructure, driven by electromobility and the exploding demand for electricity from AI. This boom is driving demand for high-performance batteries and essential raw materials such as graphite to unprecedented heights. Anyone who wants to identify the structural winners of this megatrend should keep an eye on three key players: e-mobility pioneer BYD, raw materials specialist Graphano Energy, and chip giant Intel.
