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.

221% Growth Is Just the Beginning! Tungsten Producer Almonty Industries Poised for Billion-Dollar Revenues!
After a 150% rally so far this year, is Almonty Industries stock still a buy? According to estimates from analysts at Bank of America, the answer may well be yes. The company's 221% revenue growth in the first quarter of the current year could merely mark the beginning of a much larger expansion phase. For the coming year, analysts expect the tungsten producer to generate revenue of CAD 1.32 billion, with margins in line with those typically seen in the technology sector. Earnings per share are projected to climb to CAD 3.50, implying a current P/E ratio below 10. This seems anything but expensive for a company supplying a critical raw material otherwise largely dominated by China. Interested investors may want to mark May 20 on their calendars and register for the virtual IIF event.

Analysts see significant upside for Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall, and TKMS!
The correction in defence and related sector stocks has recently intensified. A perceived imminent end to the war in Ukraine and more subdued expectations for medium-term growth are weighing on the market. However, according to many analysts, good buying opportunities are now emerging again for Rheinmetall & Co. Structural drivers such as rising defence budgets, geopolitical tensions, and full order books remain intact. One special stock is Antimony Resources. The Canadian company holds the highest-grade deposit of this critical raw material in North America. Antimony is a key raw material for ammunition, electronics, and defence equipment. Its importance is growing enormously against the backdrop of scarce global availability and fragile supply chains. In a recent report, GBC analysts assigned the stock a price target of CAD 3. Following the recent pullback, investors can pick up the stock at its current price of around CAD 0.61!

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.

Gold Boom in Nevada: Is Lahontan Gold on the Verge of a Major Breakout?
Gold is in greater demand than it has been in years as a safe-haven asset, even though the recent rally has temporarily lost momentum. Amid this environment, one company is attracting increasing attention: Lahontan Gold Corp. With high-potential projects in mining-friendly Nevada and recent developments generating strong market interest, the stock appears to be approaching a pivotal phase. While the gold price searches for fresh momentum, an intriguing technical setup is emerging in Lahontan's chart. A breakout above CAD 0.44 could pave the way for a move toward significantly higher resistance zones. Is the stage being set for a new success story in the Nevada gold sector? We examine why the latest developments at Lahontan Gold may represent more than just short-term momentum and explore the untapped value hidden in the historic Santa Fe tailings piles.

What the quarterly results show: Almonty becomes the tungsten backbone of the West – support from Bank of America and Lockheed Martin
Without control over critical minerals, there can be no security or economic resilience. This simple equation captures the current situation facing the US. Tungsten, the metal with the highest melting point of all elements and a density comparable to that of gold, is at the center of this development. Long considered a niche metal, tungsten has become a strategic bottleneck due to geopolitical tensions and the large-scale expansion of defence capabilities. In many industrial, defence, and high-tech applications, this unique heavy metal is indispensable. This week, Almonty released its first quarterly results since the start of production at its large Sangdong mine in South Korea. The new figures indicate that the company's transformation into a profitable producer of global significance has been completed. Almonty is now positioned for further expansion.

Almonty Industries: No investor should miss out on this strategic investment!
As the saying goes, political stock markets are short-lived. But as we all know, there are no rules without exceptions. Nervousness on the stock markets has now subsided again. However, the Iran conflict and its associated economic repercussions cannot be ignored. How can investors position themselves in this environment? Commodity producers in general, and particularly those producing critical raw materials, will be among the winners, regardless of how the stock markets perform in the coming quarters. And this is where Almonty Industries stands out. The company is one of the leading producers of the critical raw material tungsten. Tungsten has become indispensable across several industries and is virtually irreplaceable, and the market has undergone a fundamental shift. Prices are surging, and Almonty Industries is the only source of Western production outside of China, which dominates 80% of the market. Almonty's enormous geopolitical significance is one of the many reasons to buy the stock, which analysts believe has significant upside potential.

Volatus Aerospace: Positioned for Growth in the Expanding Drone Economy
The wars of this decade have permanently altered the military landscape. Thanks to superior, affordable, and efficient drone and missile technology, middle powers like Iran are standing up to superpowers such as the US. So is little Ukraine in Eastern Europe, which has now withstood attacks from its adversary Russia for more than four years and, thanks to drone defence and attacks, has not collapsed as expected. Armies like the Bundeswehr, NATO members, and even the giant US must rethink their strategies in light of these developments. Drones appear to be a cost-effective and efficient weapon capable of shaking even world powers. There is open doubt as to whether tanks or warships will even be needed in the future in the quantities seen today. Volatus Aerospace has positioned itself strongly in the future market of drone technology. As a Canadian company, it has practical access to all NATO partners and, of course, its own military. This is further strengthened by a strong position in the civilian drone market. With order books bulging at around CAD 600 million, the stock could now shift into high gear again after a long sideways phase.

Geopolitical Risks Are Turning Energy into a Weapon – Why Investors Should Now Take a Closer Look at Nordex, RE Royalties, and First Solar
Electricity demand is surging due to artificial intelligence (AI), industrial expansion, and electric mobility—yet geopolitical risks are increasingly turning energy into a strategic weapon. In 2025, renewable energy sources accounted for 55.3% of electricity consumption in Germany, but that alone is not enough. Those who invest in green energy today secure competitive advantages and reduce long-term cost risks. The real bottleneck? Stable financing over the long term. Only when capital flows are steady can green electricity production be industrialized and scaled effectively. We take a closer look at wind power specialist Nordex, renewable energy financier RE Royalties, and solar company First Solar.

Critical metals will shape the future: BYD, NIO, Strategic Resources, and VW in the e-mobility race
While Europe is pumping billions into new charging infrastructure and power grids, a brutal, cutthroat competition is beginning to unfold in the global auto market. Volkswagen is fighting to maintain its industrial dominance, while BYD is pushing ever harder into Europe with aggressive pricing and massive vertical integration, and NIO is targeting the premium segment. At the same time, with every additional electric vehicle, the demand for strategic metals is exploding, and their supply chains are coming under increasing geopolitical pressure. This is precisely where Strategic Resources could suddenly come into focus, as Western industries are desperately seeking secure sources of raw materials outside China. The Middle East conflict and oil prices nearing the USD 100 mark are acting as a catalyst for alternative powertrains while simultaneously heightening nervousness in the commodities markets. For investors, this marks the beginning of a phase in which automakers are no longer likely to be the sole winners of the mobility transition, but rather, above all, those companies that have access to the critical metals of the next industrial revolution.
