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.

The Defence Revolution: Why Volatus Aerospace Could Become a Partner for AeroVironment and TKMS
The global security architecture is currently undergoing a transformation whose significance is comparable to the introduction of gunpowder. The war in Ukraine and the escalations in the Middle East have shaken a fundamental dogma of warfare: the assumption that technological superiority is secured through costly individual systems. We are entering an era in which the "logic of terror" must be reimagined. While a Tomahawk cruise missile costs up to USD 2.5 million, drones perform the same tasks at a fraction of the cost—often with greater flexibility and less risk to human personnel. This development marks the transition from cumbersome hardware such as tanks and cruise missiles to smart drones and software-defined defence solutions. We introduce industry representatives and place a special focus on the defence platform provider Volatus Aerospace.

The Clock Is Ticking in Europe: How Group Eleven, Volkswagen, and thyssenkrupp Are Positioning for the Transition
The global economy is being shaken up by three major forces: the push for decarbonization, geopolitical tensions, and the race toward electromobility. For the steel industry in Europe, this means a tough transition—after all, it accounts for 7% of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the EU mandates that by 2030, one-tenth of strategic raw materials must come from domestic sources. Vehicle manufacturers, in turn, are grappling with Scope 3 emissions from their supply chains. Energy prices are skyrocketing, supply chains are breaking down—but that is precisely where opportunities lie. We take a look at the current situation at Group Eleven Resources, Volkswagen, and thyssenkrupp.

Moving Ahead with Strong Concepts and Easing Tensions in the Middle East! MustGrow, K+S, Evotec, and Novo Nordisk in Focus
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
What a headline: An agreement between the US and Iran – markets up 2% in just one minute! It can happen that fast. For investors, this is welcome news, as a de-escalation in the Iran conflict would significantly ease global supply chains and reduce pressure on critical transport routes. In particular, the Strait of Hormuz would lose some of its significance as a geopolitical risk factor, potentially stabilizing global flows of goods and energy. Easing tensions are also likely to lower transport costs again, shorten delivery times, and dampen price volatility. For companies in the food, healthcare, and agricultural technology sectors, this creates greater planning certainty and new growth opportunities. MustGrow Biologics and K+S could benefit from more stable agricultural markets, while Evotec and Novo Nordisk may gain additional tailwinds in a calmer healthcare environment. Investors are increasingly turning to stocks that promise sustainable growth and reliable returns in a more stable market setting. The key question now: will volatility finally decline as well?
