Antimony Alert! Hotter than gold and rarer than lithium: Re-rating Potential for Antimony Resources After Recent Pullback
The world is becoming increasingly unstable—something reflected in the daily news flow. Geopolitical tensions are rising, and commodities that were largely overlooked for years are now moving into focus. Antimony is one such example: a relatively unknown metal, yet strategically important. No modern tank can be produced without it, no precision ammunition, no night vision goggles. What makes the market particularly compelling is its structure—like many critical raw materials, supply is highly concentrated, with China dominating global production and processing. But this is precisely the emerging supply gap Antimony Resources is filling through its Canadian project, which is unparalleled.

Defense Industry Under Stress: Bottlenecks at Rheinmetall and Lockheed – Almonty Industries Stands to Reap the Benefits
The war in the Middle East is exposing the vulnerability of the global security architecture. While the US-led coalition's military operations against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury, continue, US President Donald Trump's erratic communication is causing extreme uncertainty among military planners. In rapid succession, reports from the White House oscillate between triumphant declarations of victory, the announcement of American ground troops, and, shortly thereafter, the prospect of peace negotiations. This unpredictability collides with an alarming reality: even the arsenals of the world's greatest military power are emptying at a rapid pace. The massive use of precision weapons starkly reveals that the global arms industry is simply not equipped for intense wars of attrition or a further escalation of global tensions following the collapse of the existing world order. The real bottleneck in the arms industry is not a lack of government budgets, but the critical raw materials at the beginning of the supply chain. As a result, the market for tungsten and the producer Almonty Industries are coming into focus for investors. A unique opportunity beckons.

What Makes NEO Battery Materials Unique – Drone Defense and Technological Sovereignty: Competing with DroneShield and Amprius
The German Armed Forces are ramping up investments in drone technology, while Ukraine is supporting Middle Eastern countries in strengthening their drone defense capabilities. Small, highly mobile interceptor drones are increasingly becoming the system of choice. At the core of these platforms are batteries, which determine range, climb rate, and payload—and are therefore mission-critical for successful interception. However, supply chains reveal a structural vulnerability: China currently dominates around 80% of global battery production and its critical precursors. This is where the Canadian-South Korean company NEO Battery Materials comes into play. The company is developing high-performance silicon anodes independent of Chinese supply chains and is collaborating with industrial partners such as Taesung and Korea Zinc to scale production. We outline the advantages this solution offers over competitors like Amprius Technologies and explore why vertical integration is crucial and why NEO's batteries can enhance the performance of existing drone systems without requiring major redesigns.

Tungsten Crisis! "Reuters" Reports Shortage in the US! Almonty Positioned to Benefit, and Analysts Reaffirm Buy Recommendation
Tungsten prices have risen nearly 20% in just one week. The situation surrounding this metal, which is critical not only for ammunition production, continues to worsen. "Reuters" recently reported on noticeably low inventory levels in the US. On "Bloomberg," an expert speaks of an almost unprecedented market development. The biggest beneficiary is Almonty Industries. Analysts see over 50% upside potential. According to their estimates, the P/E ratio for 2027 is around 5. Almonty is expected to produce 267,537 metric tons this year alone. Costs are expected to be USD 266 per MTU. On the Rotterdam stock exchange, the current price is USD 2,800 per MTU.

Critical Raw Material for Ammunition: Antimony Resources Approaching a Key Milestone – and Then a US Government Entry?
Raw materials are increasingly becoming a critical factor in ammunition production. Alongside tungsten, antimony is one such material. This largely unknown mineral is critical for flame retardants, batteries, alloys, electronics, and, of course, ammunition. At the same time, the US is 100% reliant on imports. Antimony Resources is developing what is likely one of the most promising deposits in North America. A resource estimate is expected to be released by June. Then, the US government might even step in. This is speculation, but there have already been examples since last year of the Trump administration taking such decisive action to secure critical raw materials.

Sangdong Is More Than Just a Mine: How Almonty Industries Is Emerging as a Strategic Pillar for Western Supply Chains
For decades, tungsten was a blind spot in commodity markets - technically indispensable, yet strategically overlooked. That perception is now shifting rapidly. As Western economies reassess their dependence on Chinese supply chains for defense and high-tech applications, Almonty Industries is transitioning from developer to producer at its Sangdong project in South Korea. What follows is not merely the start of production, but a structurally important addition to Western supply security.

Volatus Aerospace: TSX Uplisting Signals a New Phase for the Drone and Defense Specialist
At the intersection of technology and national security, a Canadian company is gaining significant traction: Volatus Aerospace. In a short time, the company has evolved from a niche specialist into a recognized player in unmanned aviation and is now listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Drones are no longer mere gadgets - they have become essential tools in modern defense and industrial applications. Conflicts such as those in Ukraine and rising tensions around Iran underscore a clear shift: traditional weapons systems are often too costly, inflexible, and slow to deploy. This report examines how Volatus is capitalizing on this transition through targeted acquisitions, government support, and a clearly defined strategic roadmap.

Silver Shortage Drives the Market: Why Silver Viper Is Significantly More Dynamic Than Fresnillo and Pan American Silver
The silver market is currently reaching its capacity limits. A supply deficit that has persisted for six years, totaling 820 million ounces by the start of this year, is being met with record demand. Key drivers include photovoltaics, electric mobility, and the rapid expansion of data infrastructure. Solar energy alone consumed around 448 million ounces in the first half of 2025, as new cell types require more silver. This drove the price above USD 100 per troy ounce. Against this backdrop, market leaders such as Fresnillo and Pan American Silver must replace their dwindling reserves in established mining regions like Mexico with high-quality resources. This hunger for resources directly impacts companies at the beginning of the value chain. Agile explorers controlling projects in close proximity to existing infrastructure are coming into focus. One such example is Silver Viper Minerals, which is strategically positioned within the Mexican silver sector through its acquisition of the Coneto project and the involvement of Fresnillo as a key shareholder. We highlight the opportunities for investors.

Is US Ammunition Capacity at Its Limit? Antimony Resources Delivers What Washington Needs for "Unlimited" Firepower
As geopolitical tensions mount in the Middle East and Washington speaks of "unlimited" ammunition capacity, a critical bottleneck in the supply chain is becoming increasingly apparent: antimony. This unassuming semimetal, essential for modern weapon systems and high-tech industries, is scarcer than ever. China has turned off the export tap. A Canadian company is stepping into this very vacuum. With one of North America's most promising projects, Antimony Resources aims to secure the West's strategic independence.

Sharp Corrections for the DAX, NASDAQ, BTC, Gold, and Silver – But Almonty Industries Is Showing Its Strength!
17% of Qatar's LPG capacity was destroyed last week, with damage expected to last 2 to 3 years. What madness! Iran is targeting critical infrastructure of Western allies in response to Israeli-American aggression. This brings back the horror scenarios from the COVID-19 pandemic, as we are likely to witness the collapse of global supply chains - at least for a few months. For the capital markets, this means constant stress mode, with high volatility and a downward trend. Even safe havens like gold and silver are under massive selling pressure - presumably due to liquidity shortages. One commodity, however, is trending from one high to the next: tungsten. This critically important metal for the defense industry has reached prices of up to USD 2,800 per metric ton unit (MTU). One company particularly exposed to this trend is Almonty Industries, already up over 2,000% in the last 18 months. What is next here?
