Innovator Combines the Expertise of DroneShield and Dufour Aerospace: Volatus Aerospace as a Fully Integrated Drone Service Provider
The aviation industry is undergoing what is arguably its most radical transformation since the introduction of jet engines: autonomous flight is gaining importance in both the military and civilian sectors. Yet the market is hungry for comprehensive solutions that seamlessly integrate flight operations, specialized hardware, and robust security systems. Leading this development are three companies: Dufour Aerospace, a pioneer in highly efficient tilt-wing aircraft; DroneShield, the market leader in drone defense; and Volatus Aerospace, which is making a name for itself as a strategic systems integrator. Opportunities are emerging for investors. Volatus Aerospace, in particular, stands out by combining the commercial use of drones with security technology, thereby paving the way for scalable, autonomous aviation. Major corporations such as Rheinmetall have also recently invested heavily in drone technology and are likely exploring potential acquisition targets.

Oil shortages as a turning point for uranium and hydrogen with Siemens Energy, Standard Uranium, Plug Power, and Nel ASA
The start of the week was volatile. Oil prices are rising sharply again, up around 12%, increasing pressure on consumers and policymakers. Now the Black-Red coalition government has developed a 17-cent package set to be passed in the coming weeks. A temporary reduction in the eco-tax is intended to help. Geopolitical tensions continue to drive price volatility, even though underlying supply-demand fundamentals in oil and gas do not indicate a structural shortage. Prime Minister Söder is even calling for a resumption of gas exploration in Germany. Who would have thought? We, too, are looking at possible alternatives and taking a closer look at nuclear power and hydrogen. For investors, companies such as Siemens Energy, Standard Uranium, Plug Power, and Nel ASA are increasingly coming into focus, as they stand to benefit directly or indirectly from these structural energy shifts. We take a closer look at the underlying drivers.

Dream Returns with Oil and Gas! Jump on Pure One, but Proceed with Caution on BP, OMV, and Nordex
Recent developments are drawing renewed attention! US President Donald Trump has ordered the US Navy to implement a full-scale blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. He aims to halt Iranian shipments, which had previously been tolerated, in favor of countries that are no longer on the list of allies in this Middle East conflict. At the same time, a joint project by individual NATO allies is launching to secure the disputed strait, to enable future transit once again. With this news, energy and commodity prices surged higher again yesterday, even though some of the gains were already pared back by the afternoon. The focus is once again on oil and gas stocks, as well as some alternative energy and utility shares. In this environment, the Australian company Pure One can steer its diverse range of activities in the most profitable direction. Meanwhile, established players such as BP, OMV, and Nordex have already seen significant share price gains, prompting analysts to adopt a more cautious stance. A closer look is therefore warranted.

GOLD WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE: WHY B2GOLD, KOBO RESOURCES, AND PERSEUS MINING ARE WORTH A LOOK RIGHT NOW
Although the price of gold has fallen since its all-time high of over USD 5,500, the structural drivers of the boom, over-indebted nations, geopolitical turmoil, and massive central bank purchases, remain in place. However, those looking to profit from the gold rush through mining stocks don't have to invest in companies that accept environmental destruction and exploitation. Canadian producer B2Gold has demonstrated for years that responsible mining and cost efficiency are not mutually exclusive. Its Australian industry peer, Perseus Mining, operates sustainable mines in Africa with production costs amounting to less than a third of the current gold price. And the debt-free junior exploration company Kobo Resources is on the verge of its next major gold discovery in the Kossou Basin of Côte d'Ivoire, in the immediate vicinity of an existing Perseus mine.

Volatus Aerospace: A Dual-Use Drone Play with Growth Potential
Whether in civilian or military applications, drones are becoming an increasingly important component of modern technology ecosystems. Recent conflicts, including in Ukraine and the Middle East, have highlighted their strategic relevance. The major powers are faltering. Tank manufacturers are trembling. Yet drones are also increasingly permeating civilian society, a virtually unstoppable trend. According to Global Market Insights, the global drone market could exceed USD 66 billion by 2035, up from around USD 20 billion today. Within this environment, Volatus Aerospace is positioning itself as an integrated provider in North America. Supported by a strong order pipeline, the company is on a growth trajectory. Therefore, investors should also take a look at the stock, especially since there is currently an opportunity to buy in.

Double The Gains: 100% Rebound in Defense Stocks and Critical Metals – Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, CSG, and Mutares in focus
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock market gives and takes. While investors were able to celebrate a massive 5% gain last week, the tide has already turned in the opposite direction this week. The reason: The hoped-for peace talks in Pakistan between the US, Israel, and Iran have failed. Since this provides no positive momentum for the economy or the already strained energy and metals markets, volatility is likely to return in some sectors. We are looking at opportunities in the critical metals sector and highlighting some stocks that are showing attractive metrics again following recent corrections.

Almonty Drives the Tungsten Market: Between Shortages, Price Surges, and Revaluation
Major stock indices are currently experiencing heightened volatility. Following the strong rally of the past 24 months, both the S&P 500 and the DAX 40 have recently corrected by between 5% and 10%. Rising interest rates and little prospect of peace in one of the many global hotspots are weighing particularly heavily on the market. Commodities paint a different picture: industrial metals and critical materials remain in demand, led by tungsten, whose price has increased roughly tenfold over the past 24 months. Producer Almonty Industries is benefiting particularly from this; with the start of production in Sangdong, it is now entering a new operational phase and, with a market capitalization of more than EUR 4.2 billion, has made its way onto the buy lists of institutional investors. The recent consolidation appears to be over. What should investors be watching for now?

Opportunities in West Africa: Barrick Mining and B2Gold Resume Investment – Desert Gold on the Verge of a Breakthrough
The gold industry in West Africa is largely characterized by consolidation along the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), with securing economically viable reserves being the top priority for producers in an environment of high gold prices. According to forecasts by PwC consultants, this focus by the mining industry is making a decisive contribution to the economic stability of the entire region. While industry leaders such as Barrick Mining are ramping up production at the Loulo-Gounkoto complex following the resolution of regulatory disputes and forecasting production of up to 290,000 ounces for 2026, B2Gold is focusing on optimizing the massive Fekola complex. B2Gold plans total production of up to 970,000 ounces of gold for the current year and is investing heavily in regional exploration to extend the life of its core African assets. These investments demonstrate that the region is promising and that past country risks have receded into the background. In the immediate vicinity of well-known mines, Desert Gold is developing the SMSZ project, which, with resources of 1.3 million ounces of gold, represents one of the largest undeveloped land packages in the region. With the planned launch of a modular gravity plant this coming summer, the company is preparing for the transition to a junior producer. For this reason, Desert Gold offers a highly attractive prospect for investors: At a time when the major players are investing again, Desert could take off on its own or become a takeover target. Investors who position themselves in time are likely to benefit from this momentum.
