Anglo American, Globex Mining, Lundin Mining: Commodity Giants Poised for the Next Surge
Despite the current market correction, copper, gold, and strategic metals are increasingly taking center stage in the global economy. Power grids, AI data centers, electric mobility, and defence are consuming enormous amounts of raw materials, while new mines are being developed only slowly. It is not just established producers that are benefiting from this. Broadly diversified companies are particularly attractive, as they can earn revenue from investments and royalties in numerous projects without having to finance every mine themselves.

Betting on Gold and Other Commodities: A Closer Look at Agnico Eagle, Barrick Mining, and Strategic Resources
International financial markets are currently navigating a highly complex web of trade tensions, monetary policy decisions, and a slowing Chinese economy, as geopolitical tensions affect global currencies. In this highly volatile environment, commodity markets are undergoing their own transformation, where traditional crisis hedging clashes with forward-looking technology. The price of gold recently came under pressure and corrected significantly from its record highs, putting pressure on major mining stocks. At the same time, amid global decarbonization, the market is increasingly demanding low-carbon solutions and strategic commodities for the next generation of energy storage and industrial processing. This dynamic is creating palpable tension on the trading floor, as the course for the industrial future is now being reset. We take a look at three selected players to reveal where risks lurk following the recent market corrections and where an exceptional, undervalued opportunity may currently be emerging.

Running on Empty? Chaos Around Strategic Metals Drives Prices Higher– Power Metallic in Focus for BYD and Volkswagen
At USD 14,090, the price of copper reached a new all-time high in May. The demand slump predicted at the start of the year has apparently vanished into thin air. Instead, international commodity institutes are falling over themselves with forecasts of a projected shortfall over the next five years. The much-discussed copper shortage stems primarily from structurally rising demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, and data centers, while new mining projects are only coming online with delays and declining ore grades. Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), S&P Global, and CRU Group consistently anticipate growing supply deficits over the coming decade in their scenarios. The IEA, in particular, identifies potential supply gaps of several million tons by 2035 in its "Critical Minerals" analyses, depending on the pace of the energy transition. The crux of the matter is that even with high prices, mine development requires a lead time of 10 to 15 years, while existing deposits are simultaneously declining in quality. This poses a challenge for the market and investors!

Iran Conflict, Energy Crisis, and Supply Chains in Focus: Power Metallic as a Lever for Strategic Metal Supply
Geopolitical tensions are once again moving to the forefront of financial markets. The looming kerosene and diesel shortages are a cause for concern for global industry. This is due to a multitude of geopolitical conflicts, which are having far-reaching effects on global economic structures. Iran, for instance, is still in a position to exert significant influence, and there is little sign of US dominance. This brings the abundant fossil fuel reserves of neighboring countries into focus—with the Strait of Hormuz at the center as a logistical hotspot. Toll systems for tankers and cargo ships to pass through the strait are being discussed. This disruption to international supply chains drives up costs for industry and end consumers. Taking this further, critical metals like copper are also coming back into the spotlight. As bulk goods, they must be transported across the seas to processing sites. The energy transition, storage technologies, and data centers demand massive amounts of copper. Power Metallic Mines is tapping into precisely this dynamic with its NISK project in Canada. A highly attractive investment opportunity is emerging.

Securing raw materials in Europe: How Avrupa Minerals, Altius Minerals, and Elemental Royalty Corporation are organizing supply chains
The EU is looking for domestic sources of copper, zinc, and strategic metals to secure its industrial base. Recent analyses by the European Court of Auditors show a dependence on imports for 10 of 26 critical minerals needed for the energy transition and modern defense systems. Despite the Critical Raw Materials Act, which aims to increase domestic production to 10% of demand, auditors identify bottlenecks in the financing and practical implementation of the requirements. At the same time, consultancies such as McKinsey are forecasting a significant increase in demand for materials for the energy transition, with annual growth rates in the single-digit percentage range through 2035. In this environment, specialized players are positioning themselves to provide access to deposits and manage capital risks for investors. We present three companies with a focus on Avrupa Minerals.

Unpredictable conflict dynamics turn tungsten into a strategic metal – Almonty moves into focus
The capital markets currently appear paradoxical: record highs for indices, unusually high volatility, and above all, a world order that is shifting faster than any valuation metric. Wars are back and here to stay, trade routes are becoming political and fragile, and sanctions are replacing diplomacy. In this environment, raw materials are once again becoming strategic weapons. While algorithms are still extrapolating growth rates, governments are already thinking about supply scenarios after the crash. In this tense environment, the logic of investing is changing. It is no longer just about supply and demand, but about access, control, and reliability. Who will deliver when the going gets tough? Who will decide who gets what and how much, and who might even be excluded? This is precisely where the major capital movements of the coming years will arise, often away from the familiar mega-caps. A metal that hardly anyone has paid attention to for years is suddenly becoming the focus of technological and military interest. And a company that has long flown under the radar is quietly becoming a strategic factor. Almonty Industries is an example of how geopolitics and capital markets are currently intertwining in new ways and creating dream returns for visionary investors.

The new cold war over strategic metals! The buying frenzy continues at Almonty, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK
Investors today need a long-term perspective if they want to step outside the trading herd. For the past five years, machines have largely been calling the shots. They detect patterns across investor behavior and can anticipate mass movements even while you are still busy entering your order. This is because data aggregation takes place in nanoseconds. If, for example, a few more sell orders than usual enter the market, the machine immediately sends the Xetra price down, and vice versa. Those who invest over months and years do not need to worry about these practices, but anyone focused on short-term movements requires solid technical equipment and nerves of steel. Our peer group stocks Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK are currently seeing plenty of action. We provide a few extras so you can make the right move!

Inevitable: High-tech and AI require strategic metals! Share price gains at Siemens Energy, Nordex, and Power Metallic
The availability of strategic metals is geopolitically risky because China controls the global market for most of these raw materials, from extraction to processing. The EU and the US are increasingly facing the problem that geopolitical conflicts and export restrictions can quickly lead to supply bottlenecks and price spikes. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have painfully exposed the dependence of Western industrialized countries. In addition, demand for strategic metals is growing rapidly. Experts expect demand for lithium, for example, to increase twentyfold by 2050. Anyone who wants to secure long-term innovation and prosperity, therefore, needs independent sources of supply and new players in the raw materials market. We are looking around!
