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
The global economy is in turmoil. Tangible assets are regaining massive importance. As the global AI revolution devours vast amounts of resources and trade restrictions cause shortages of strategic raw materials, gold is once again taking center stage as the ultimate safe haven. In this tense environment, investors are not only looking at established industry players like Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle, which could be poised to return to all-time highs. Dynamic explorers like Kobo Resources are also attracting attention with massive discoveries in West Africa. A look at the numbers and recent developments suggests we may be only at the beginning of a multi-year trend. This trend is likely to separate the wheat from the chaff and reward the bold. The current technical resistance levels may now become mere stepping stones on the way up. In any case, the hunger for raw materials seems far from satisfied.

WOMEN POWER IN THE GOLD HOTSPOT: THE SUCCESS FORMULA OF NEWMONT, LAHONTAN GOLD, AND PARAMOUNT GOLD NEVADA
It was a seismic shift that resonated far beyond Wall Street and deep into the shafts of the global mining industry: when Natascha Viljoen took the helm at Newmont, the world's largest gold mining company, earlier this year, it was far more than just a leadership change. It marked a definitive signal that the era of the "Old Boys Club" in mining is coming to an end. Away from the major headlines, this transformation is also unfolding elsewhere—particularly in the gold hotspot of Nevada. There, companies like Lahontan Gold and Paramount Gold Nevada are demonstrating that female leadership and expertise are increasingly setting the benchmark for the next generation of mining operations. Together, these three companies—from global heavyweight to specialized explorer—impressively demonstrate that in the 21st century, women's leadership has become a key economic factor in what was once a male-dominated field.

A More Defensive Approach to Investing in Commodities: How Franco-Nevada, Globex Mining, and BHP Diversify Their Risk
Investors looking to avoid single-stock exposure in the commodities sector can turn to broadly diversified companies. These companies typically provide capital and, in return, receive license fees—so-called royalties. The advantage: they do not bear the operational risks of running a mine. In addition, royalties are generally calculated based on revenue rather than profit. When costs rise—such as in the current environment of higher energy prices—the impact falls primarily on the mine operator, not the royalty holder. With this business model, Franco-Nevada has grown into one of the largest royalty companies in the industry. However, smaller players like Globex Mining are also worth a closer look. Meanwhile, mining giant BHP represents an alternative approach through scale and diversification across multiple commodities.

Desert Gold Ventures Poised for a Revaluation
Despite occasional setbacks, the gold market is structurally poised for a revaluation. Data from the World Gold Council continues to show robust demand from central banks, while geopolitical tensions and rising government debt are increasing the need for hedging. At the same time, institutions such as the International Energy Agency are warning of rising energy and infrastructure costs, which are fueling inflation. Major investment firms, including JPMorgan Chase, foresee gold prices reaching up to USD 6,300 per ounce in the medium term. This means the precious metal remains one of the key beneficiaries of global uncertainties—an environment in which advanced explorers and emerging producers, in particular, can benefit significantly.

Silver Remains a Hot Topic! Silver Viper Minerals Reports 183.5 g/t Gold and 6,850 g/t Silver at the La Virginia Property
Commodity markets are undergoing a paradigm shift. Silver has appreciated significantly in recent years and is gaining importance as both an industrial and a precious metal. And industrial users, from the solar industry to electric mobility, are consuming the precious metal in unprecedented quantities. The fact that above-ground inventories have reportedly shrunk from more than 100 years of supply to less than a year's supply has gone largely unnoticed by most investors. While some are still waiting for the next correction, Silver Viper Minerals has positioned itself in Mexico in a way that could allow it to benefit disproportionately from these structural shifts—potentially more so than a traditional ETF tracking the silver price.

Endless Rally Ahead? 150% Upside Potential? LPKF Laser, SÜSS MicroTec, Power Metallic Mines
The semiconductor rally has also lifted German stocks. LPKF Laser surged nearly 40% over the past week, while SÜSS MicroTec has gained a solid 40% since the end of March. However, analysts are urging caution - could the rally be running out of steam? In contrast, Power Metallic Mines may still offer significant upside. Some analysts see 150% upside potential. The commodity stock could also benefit from the exploding semiconductor demand, as large quantities of copper have been discovered in Canada. After all, copper remains indispensable not only for semiconductors but for a wide range of industrial applications. This positioning also makes Power Metallic Mines a potential takeover candidate.

Gold and Silver in One Stock: Silver Viper Is Ready for a Comeback!
As the silver price ends its correction, the time has come to invest in promising silver stocks. The silver market is tight, with demand rising steadily. However, due to the prolonged period of low prices for the precious metal, few new projects have been developed. This makes Silver Viper Minerals' stock all the more attractive. The CEO aims to develop the company into the largest explorer in Mexico and is advancing full steam ahead. An exciting acquisition has just been completed. Now, the resource is expected to rise sharply. The latest drill results show that this is realistic, suggesting that Silver Viper Minerals stock is poised for a comeback. During the last silver rally, the stock shot up to over EUR 1.60 at the turn of the year. Currently, the stock is trading on Tradegate for just over EUR 0.50. This is unlikely to remain the case for long.

Lahontan Gold – This Hidden Gem Is Poised for a Revaluation
In hindsight, the current correction in the gold market is likely to prove to be a healthy consolidation within an intact uptrend. In addition to macroeconomic factors, the geopolitical situation is providing the main tailwind. Conflicts in the Middle East, tensions between major powers, and growing uncertainty in the global financial system are driving capital into the "safe haven" of gold. JPMorgan remains optimistic and forecasts the gold price to reach USD 6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026. The precious metal is currently trading at around USD 4,700, having recovered significantly from its March low of USD 4,100. A weaker US dollar, rising government debt, and massive central bank purchases are reinforcing the trend. The key question is therefore no longer whether gold will rise, but which stocks will benefit most from it.

NASDAQ Record, TUNGSTEN Record, MARATHON World Record – What Does This Mean for Almonty Industries?
Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe is making history. He ran the London Marathon in 1:59:30, setting a new world record. Even the NASDAQ 100 Index reached a new high of 27,314 points at one of the most fragile moments in the global economy, and the critical metal tungsten also set a new record at USD 3,320 per metric ton unit of APT. The world is in a time of maximum uncertainty, excessive debt, and aggressive leaders. Surprisingly, the stock market is joining in this frenzy; every day it goes higher, faster, further. Anyone who wants to make money must view the whole thing with an Olympic mindset: "Taking part is everything!" In the short term, even negative scenarios are likely being bought into, because after all, most market participants seem convinced that the Middle East conflict will soon end and the West will then usher in a new economic upswing with somewhat less political risk. One thing should be clear: Nothing works without critical metals! And that is what the record-breaking run at Almonty Industries stands for. Investors who do the math will quickly realize: Another doubling is on the horizon!
