Secure Supply Chains for BASF and Others: Antimony Shortage Threatens Production – Antimony Resources Follows Lynas Rare Earths' Lead
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Escalating trade wars, a global supply shortage, and historic price shocks – the market for critical industrial metals is undergoing a profound transformation. Following extensive export restrictions by the People's Republic of China and a complete export ban to the US at the end of 2024, antimony prices outside China skyrocketed to an all-time high of USD 59,750 per ton. The severe imbalance between Western demand and available supply outside China led to significant supply bottlenecks in 2025—Fastmarkets recorded the sharpest price rally in the history of the antimony market that year. Since authoritarian states control around 80% of global mine production, the Western high-tech and defence industries face a potentially existential supply risk for electronic components and industrial fire-retardant applications. We explain the situation and present a potential solution.

USA Rare Earth, Desert Gold Ventures, Alcoa: Commodities Are Becoming the Key to the Future
The commodities markets are entering an exciting phase. While geopolitical crises could tighten the supply of key industrial metals and drive prices to new record highs, gold remains one of the most promising beneficiaries, given elevated government debt, central bank purchases, and global uncertainties. At the same time, the US and Europe are investing billions in building independent supply chains for critical raw materials to secure their technology, energy, and defence industries. This opens up opportunities for investors in several future markets that could benefit from structural bottlenecks and strategic demand.

ANTIMONY RESOURCES, LYNAS RARE EARTHS, AND UMICORE: THREE PILLARS OF WESTERN RAW MATERIAL SOVEREIGNTY
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
No fibre-optic cables without germanium, no specialized ammunition without antimony, no electric motors without neodymium: The West has maneuvered itself into a dead end. Fatal dependencies on strategic metals threaten to slow down defence capabilities, the energy transition, and technological progress. But the need for a turnaround has been recognized, and governments are pumping billions into building completely self-sufficient supply chains. For investors, this marks the beginning of a new, government-subsidized supercycle in the commodities markets. Companies such as the Canadian explorer Antimony Resources, the Australian rare-earth giant Lynas, and the Belgian recycling specialist Umicore stand to benefit from this.

The Market Is Buying Again! Strong Revaluation at Infineon Technologies, Advanced Micro Devices, and Antimony Resources
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Despite major international uncertainties, the technology sector is once again experiencing renewed momentum. While investors are once again eagerly snapping up tech stocks like Infineon Technologies and Advanced Micro Devices, there is growing caution in other sectors. This is hardly surprising, as rising interest rates are making equity investments generally more expensive. Nevertheless, the boom in artificial intelligence, data centers, and power electronics continues unabated, bringing critical raw materials increasingly into the focus of strategic investors. Whether modern semiconductors, high-performance processors, or energy chips, they all require a stable supply of strategic metals such as antimony, copper, or rare earths. Geopolitical tensions, disrupted trade routes, and export restrictions are creating growing supply bottlenecks, increasing pressure across the industry. Exploration and resource companies like Antimony Resources, which focus on metals of high strategic importance, stand to benefit from this. It is worth taking a closer look!

Empty Stockpiles: The US Military Must Rearm — A Golden Opportunity for Lynas Rare Earths, Antimony Resources, and Lockheed Martin
Prepared and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Just a few days ago, Democratic US Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona dropped a political bombshell in Washington. In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation" last Sunday, Kelly criticized the current state of the US military. According to him, stockpiles have been completely "bled dry" as a consequence of the Gulf conflict. The politician described his impressions following a briefing by the US Department of Defense. According to Kelly, ammunition stockpiles—particularly Tomahawk missiles, Patriot air defence systems, and SM-3 interceptor missiles—have been severely depleted, calling the situation "shocking." The extensive strikes against Iran have reportedly reduced inventories to such an extent that the national security of the United States could now be at risk. Rebuilding these stockpiles, Kelly warned, could take years. This, in turn, could leave the US vulnerable in potential future conflicts, particularly in the Pacific region. With these remarks, Mark Kelly articulated concerns that many observers have been discussing for weeks. According to this assessment, the US military has significantly reduced key inventories in a short period of time due to the conflict with Iran, potentially affecting operational readiness—especially concerning possible future tensions involving China, which had already been identified as a strategic challenge to US global leadership under the administrations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. This is also likely to have consequences in light of current President Donald Trump's visit to China.

100% Rally Started? MP Materials, Standard Lithium, and Power Metallic Mines in Focus!
Has the 100% rally already begun for Power Metallic Mines? At least that is the level of upside potential suggested by analysts. The copper explorer continues to report strong drilling results from its flagship project in Canada, and the stock is gradually gaining momentum. Listening to the CEO, it becomes clear that the share may still have significant upside potential ahead. Potential also exists at MP Materials, the only producer and processor of rare earth elements in the US. However, the company now carries a market capitalization of around USD 12 billion. Most recently, it released quarterly results — the key question is whether the upward trend can continue. A similar trend has recently started to form at Standard Lithium as well. The company also reported on its first-quarter 2026 developments. Investors are now eagerly awaiting the final investment decision for the South-West Arkansas (SWA) project. The timing of that decision remains a key focal point for the market.

AngloGold Ashanti, Power Metallic Mines, Lynas Rare Earths – Commodities on the Verge of Another Surge
The next commodities rally may be just getting started. As inflation remains stubbornly high worldwide and geopolitical tensions between China, the US, and the Middle East escalate, critical commodities are increasingly coming into the markets' focus. Copper and rare earths, in particular, are considered strategically indispensable, both for the energy transition and for AI, defence, and modern infrastructure. At the same time, disrupted supply chains and looming export restrictions are exacerbating the supply situation. Experts are already warning of massive supply shortages. For investors, this could create an explosive environment in which select commodity and mining stocks are poised for a new upward surge.

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.

Lynas Rare Earths, Power Metallic Mines, Mosaic – 3 Winners in the Raw Materials War
The global battle for critical raw materials is intensifying. Resources such as rare earth elements, copper, nickel, and cobalt are indispensable for electric mobility, wind power, and power grids, but also for modern defense technology. While China still controls large parts of global processing, the US, Europe, and their partners are attempting to establish new supply chains through multi-billion-dollar programs. Mining projects, recycling processes, and strategic partnerships are therefore moving into focus in this geopolitical race. For commodity companies, this environment is turning critical minerals into one of the defining investment themes of the coming years.

Dual return profile: How Antimony Resources combines the security of MP Materials with the potential of Albemarle
In the world of strategic raw materials, true giants often emerge out of necessity. When global supply chains break down, geopolitical alliances crumble, and national security is suddenly at stake, the capital market often responds with a radical revaluation of those companies that hold the strategic solutions. We have observed this phenomenon exemplified by MP Materials, which rose from obscurity to become the indispensable pillar of the American defense industry and delivered dream returns to investors as the only relevant US producer of rare earths. We have also seen this with Albemarle, which transformed itself from a specialized chemical company into the undisputed lithium king of electromobility when the world realized that without lithium, a transport revolution would be impossible.
