Alkane Resources, Desert Gold Ventures, Westgold Resources: Is the Gold Correction Over?
Gold is making a strong comeback. The price of the precious metal jumped above USD 4,600 per ounce at the end of the week and posted a 5.6% gain, marking its third consecutive weekly increase. For producers, this means rising margins and cash flows, while deposits that were previously uneconomical could become significantly more attractive for explorers. At the same time, new corporate announcements demonstrate just how valuable additional reserves have become. Investors should therefore not focus solely on the major mining operators.

Drone War Coming to Our Doorstep? BAE Systems, Volatus Aerospace and Kratos Defense Set for a Boom?
More and more drones are being spotted and neutralized in NATO territory—some now even equipped with explosives. The relentless war of attrition between Russia and Ukraine, along with the aggressor’s threats, are forcing strategists in the West to rethink their approach. Costly weapons systems are no longer sufficient when swarms of inexpensive drones overwhelm air defenses. What began as a necessity-driven commitment to drones has long since evolved into a full-fledged industry in the West. We present key players and current developments.

Gold at USD 5,200 – Are Mining Stocks Heading for New All-Time Highs? Barrick, Pan American Silver, Endeavour Silver, Newmont & Desert Gold
Gold at USD 5,200 per ounce and mining stocks heading for a new all-time high? Morgan Stanley is supporting this bullish outlook. Despite recent volatility, the US investment bank remains bullish on gold and forecasts a price of USD 5,200 per ounce by the end of 2026. Compared to current levels, this would represent significant upside potential. A German precious metals expert also sees mining stocks reaching new all-time highs. This is likely to apply to Barrick Mining as well. The company has reached an agreement with Newmont, will receive a payment in the billions, and has taken another step toward a potential IPO of its North American gold assets. For Desert Gold, the timing could hardly be better. The company appears to be moving toward gold production just as a new gold rally is getting underway.

Ondas, Volatus Aerospace, Kratos Defense: The Drone Boom Enters Its Next Phase
Drones have transformed modern warfare, and now the next phase is beginning. Instead of individual high-tech systems, the focus is increasingly on low costs, high volumes, and rapidly scalable production capacities. Billions are flowing into autonomous aircraft, reconnaissance, and new propulsion systems. At the same time, manufacturers are expanding their factories or acquiring additional capacity. Three companies are positioning themselves for the defence market, where scale and speed are becoming increasingly important.

Drone Alert Across Europe: Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt and Deutsche Telekom Are Building a Digital Shield
The importance of drones is growing steadily. Their true value increasingly stems from the interplay of data, software, and other services related to their deployment. A modern drone architecture must detect aerial objects, analyze signals, transmit information, prepare decisions, and initiate countermeasures when necessary. While Volatus Aerospace combines drone systems, operational services, training, and—increasingly—software, Hensoldt specializes in sensor technology and military system integration. As a major network infrastructure provider, Deutsche Telekom is also playing an increasingly important role. All in all, this is an exciting and promising investment theme for investors. Which stock has the greatest potential?

US Debt Alarms Bank of America and JPMorgan – Could Desert Gold's Massive Leverage Offer Crisis Protection?
When an economy lives beyond its means, many ultimately pay the price: the currency loses value, the economy suffers, and the stock market becomes more volatile. In the US, the national debt now stands at nearly USD 40 trillion, as Handelsblatt warned in its Wednesday edition. According to the report, the US Treasury is increasingly attempting to address the problem by issuing debt securities with ever-shorter maturities, with all the associated risks. Alarm bells have long been ringing in the financial markets. Those looking to protect their wealth should consider tangible assets. Gold could once again become an attractive option—we present an exciting opportunity and shed light on the current state of the financial system.

Tungsten Shock for Sandvik and Lockheed Martin – Almonty in a Perfect Position
When military equipment or industrial tools reach their performance limits, a highly sought-after heavy metal often comes to the rescue. With a melting point of 3,422 °C, tungsten withstands even extreme heat and has a density nearly identical to that of gold. Yet it is precisely with this key raw material, tungsten, that Western industrialized nations are coming under pressure. Beijing controls over 80% of global production and has significantly tightened export controls in recent years. Since China itself became a net importer in 2025 and the Western defense industry faces strict procurement bans, a race is underway for mining capacity in secure jurisdictions. This is where Almonty Industries comes into play, as it is considered a leading Western tungsten producer. We take a closer look at the market.

Excitement is Building: SpaceX, Volatus, Airbus and DroneShield are supplying NATO and seeing their profits soar
As of July 31, 2026, the Bundeswehr will grow to approximately 186,700 service members. This means that, as of mid-year, the number of military personnel will fall within the target range for 2026 growth—between 186,000 and 190,000 "troops". At the same time, this marks a new high in approximately 13 years. Furthermore, the transatlantic military alliance is responding to the changed geopolitical security situation by making historic investments in defense and rapidly advancing the modernization of its armed forces. At the heart of this strategic realignment is a profound technological transformation that merges traditional defense equipment with state-of-the-art aerospace technology. In addition to SpaceX, Airbus and DroneShield, the Canadian technology company Volatus Aerospace is also experiencing rapidly rising demand for its sophisticated drone systems for tactical reconnaissance along external borders. The synergy between agile tech pioneers and established defense giants is creating a highly efficient ecosystem for defending the Western Hemisphere. For investors, this booming sector offers a rare combination of defensive stability and exponential growth potential. We take a closer look.

Ticking Time Bomb in the Skies: Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield Stand to Benefit from Rising Security Threats
The incident at Leipzig Airport in early August, where fortunately a drone carrying Semtex explosives could not be detonated, demonstrates just how vulnerable the security infrastructure is—not only in Germany. Although intruders can often be detected, active intervention is sometimes difficult. This emerging threat is driving the multi-billion-dollar market for drone defence technologies. However, operators are facing regulatory grey areas, even as demand soars. So today we are taking a closer look at defence giant Rheinmetall, drone specialist Volatus Aerospace, and counter-drone specialist DroneShield.
