Power Metallic Mines: World-Class Asset at a Bargain Price – Revaluation Underway
The Iran conflict is currently dominating the stock markets. What lies ahead, and how hard will the energy shock hit the global economy? What remains certain is just how fragile commodity supplies and supply chains are. Western governments are pushing to regionalize critical supply chains and thereby reduce dependence on politically unstable regions. Copper and platinum group metals are high on the industrial policy agenda, as they play a significant role in electrification, the hydrogen economy, digitalization, and high-tech. This is exactly where Power Metallic Mines comes into play. The Canadian company owns a large, high-quality polymetallic project in Canada with the potential to become a major, long-term supply source for Western industries. Analysts expect the stock to rise by nearly 200% over the next 12 months!

Tanks, Chips, Missiles: China Tightens the Tap—Almonty Steps Into the Gap
The commodities world has a new overlooked topic. While everyone is discussing helium, a perfect storm is brewing around a far more critical metal: tungsten. It is found in armor-piercing ammunition, rocket nozzles, and every modern memory chip. The defense industry, in particular, urgently needs supplies due to ongoing wars. China is turning off the export tap, prices are skyrocketing, and the West's strategic reserves are dwindling. Almonty Industries, which has been operating unnoticed underground for years, is stepping into this very vacuum. Now its largest mine is coming online, right in the middle of a market desperately searching for alternatives.

Iran War: Threat for Siemens Energy, Opportunity for Pure One & Plug Power?
The war in the Middle East is driving up energy prices worldwide. Even in the energy self-sufficient US, consumers are feeling rising costs at the gas station, which is accelerating the shift toward renewable energy. Are AI companies possibly rethinking their strategy of relying on gas-fired power plants? Siemens Energy shareholders should keep an eye on this. One potential beneficiary could be Pure One. The small-cap stock combines a diversified cleantech portfolio with a majority stake in Eastern Gas, a promising gas explorer in Australia. Its customers include the German company Heidelberg Materials. Meanwhile, Plug Power is approaching a key resistance level. Is the latest major order enough to break through it? Additionally, the company appears to have discovered retail investors.

Almonty Industries – Strategic Tungsten Opportunity After Market Correction
In many industries, tungsten is emerging as one of the most strategically important raw materials of our time. Due to its high melting point, demand for this critical metal is high across a wide range of sectors, from the defense industry and the aerospace sector to the sport of darts. However, its global availability is currently under serious threat. An unprecedented imbalance between supply and demand, as well as geopolitical tensions, most notably the strict export controls by China, have recently led to a massive shortage and a price surge to as high as USD 2,995 per metric ton unit. Without tungsten, essential technological developments risk coming to a standstill.

Fertilizer Crisis: Supply Chain Collapse Threatens Bayer, Nestlé, MustGrow, and K+S! Where are the Opportunities for Investors?
The escalation involving Iran has thrown global supply chains and the fertilizer and food sectors into a state of emergency, as sanctions and security risks are crippling exports of key raw materials. Iran, a key producer of phosphate-based fertilizers and potash products, is temporarily out of the picture, leading to price spikes of up to 40% in the agricultural sector. Bayer is struggling with rising production costs for its agrochemicals division, which is putting extreme pressure on margins. Even Nestlé is increasingly facing raw material shortages for animal feed and packaging materials. The situation regarding supply security in Europe is at risk in the medium term, as inflationary pressure on food prices is noticeably increasing. MustGrow is positioning itself as a game-changer with organic fertilizer alternatives that are scalable regardless of geopolitical hotspots and promise rapid revenue growth. Kali + Salz is benefiting massively from the demand for potash fertilizer, as European inventories shrink and demand from agriculture explodes.

Congo in Focus: Barrick and Ivanhoe Pave the Way for DRC Gold
The global mining industry is at a turning point—demand for new deposits is rising, while globalization is increasingly reaching its limits, making diversified and redundant supply chains essential. In this market environment, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has moved beyond its traditional role as a mere raw material supplier and is undergoing a significant transformation. The progress being made in the country is exemplified by the successes of companies like Barrick Mining and Ivanhoe Mines. Their multi-billion-dollar investments demonstrate that large-scale operations are indeed feasible in the DRC. The country's geological potential has once again drawn attention due to the recent record production at Barrick Mining's Kibali mine. While major corporations are successfully advancing projects in the DRC, junior explorers are also increasingly attracting investor attention. DRC Gold is capitalizing on this momentum and identifying new resources through drilling programs in close proximity to existing projects. Against the backdrop of declining reserves among major producers such as Barrick and Ivanhoe, the smaller company, led by German CEO Klaus Eckhof, offers an exciting opportunity to benefit from the new growth in the Congo.

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.

GBC Targets CAD 3.00 for Antimony Resources, Poised to Secure Western Supply
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
Imagine a raw material that hardly anyone is aware of, yet is found in every piece of ammunition, every night-vision device, and every solar panel. This gray semimetal is called antimony, and the Western world sources it almost exclusively from China and Russia. After Beijing curtailed exports in late 2024, the price of antimony skyrocketed to over USD 60,000 per ton. So the crucial question is: who will supply the West if it wants to become less dependent on China? Antimony Resources could provide the answer with its Bald Hill project in New Brunswick.

Iran Crisis: Billions in Weapons and Technology – Are Rheinmetall, RENK, and Group Eleven Set to Soar?
Later today, the next—already postponed—ultimatum regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could begin to unfold with significant consequences. US President Donald Trump has made it unmistakably clear on his own social media platform that the West will no longer tolerate the restriction or threat to international trade routes. For investors, this underscores a critical reality: the supply of industrial goods is increasingly fragile and may require fundamental restructuring over the long term. Ongoing conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, are forcing a rethink of global sourcing strategies for raw materials and industrial inputs. It is widely understood that building alternative supply chains will take years—if not decades. Europe, in particular, which is already under pressure, must address structural deficits across multiple sectors. For policymakers, the message is clear: decisive action is required. Meanwhile, Group Eleven Resources holds land rights covering more than 500 sq km with mineralization in critical metals—positioning it within this broader strategic shift.
