Antimony instead of dependence – Antimony Resources stands to benefit from the China risk
Geopolitical tensions are increasing, and with them, the West's dependence on China for critical raw materials is becoming increasingly apparent. Metals such as antimony are indispensable for industry, technology, and security, yet are barely produced in Western countries. Trade conflicts and political risks are turning this concentration into a strategic vulnerability. While the US and Europe are urgently searching for alternative supply chains, specialized resource companies in stable jurisdictions are gaining in importance. Antimony Resources could be one of the beneficiaries of this shift. With its high-grade Bald Hill project in Canada, the Company is positioning itself as a potential building block for an independent Western antimony supply.

Electric mobility is booming, lithium prices are rising again – An assessment of BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Volkswagen
The era of the combustion engine is coming to an end. A new ecosystem of technology, raw materials, and manufacturing power is emerging, presenting extraordinary opportunities for early investors. The race toward electrification is in full swing, driven by exploding registration numbers and a rapidly expanding charging infrastructure. But the real leverage lies deeper. Access to critical metals, which are the lifeblood of every battery, is indispensable. As supply chains reorganize, three very different companies are positioning themselves: the emerging giant BYD, the raw materials explorer Power Metallic Mines, and the traditional heavyweight Volkswagen.

Pasinex, thyssenkrupp, Umicore: How industry and smart mining are benefiting from zinc's comeback
Zinc leads a shadowy existence in many investors' portfolios – unjustifiably so. While lithium, rare earths, and copper are often hailed as the only raw materials of the future, a quiet but significant shift is taking place in the zinc market. Zinc is essential for modern infrastructure, indispensable for the energy transition and the refinement of steel. We shed light on why zinc should now be back on the watch list and how three completely different players, thyssenkrupp, Umicore and Pasinex Resources, are accompanying this dynamic.

Is the next super mine emerging here? Power Metallic Mines, Vale, Rio Tinto
History has shown what happens when resource properties turn into super mines. Many projects developed or acquired by companies such as Vale or Rio Tinto, for example, have been in production for many years and generate enormous returns. The Canadian company Power Metallic Mines, active in the province of Québec, has also been able to continuously expand its NISK project in recent years. Now, the team led by CEO Terry Lynch sees even more potential there. Here, we discuss what gigantic raw material discoveries can mean and why Power Metallic Mines' polymetallic deposit is considered particularly interesting.

How European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen are overcoming the supply chain crisis and creating potential in their portfolios
The global tech and defense industries are under pressure. Dependence on critical raw materials from limited sources is becoming a strategic nightmare. Recent trade restrictions are driving up prices, jeopardizing supply chains, and forcing Europe to rethink its strategy quickly. At the same time, studies warn of an impending lithium shortage that could bring the electric vehicle boom to an abrupt end. The race for secure supply and technological sovereignty is in full swing – and at the same time offers historic opportunities. We therefore take a look at three companies that are directly active in these turbulent markets: European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen.

Critical stocks on sale? Standard Lithium, European Lithium, D-Wave, BASF!
Are critical raw materials suddenly in abundance? Looking at the price performance of many stocks in the sector, this thought may come to mind. Many stocks have lost 50% or more since mid-October. The truth is that they had often more than doubled in value in the weeks prior to that. China's export ban led to excesses that now need to be corrected. Nevertheless, the fundamental driver of the sector remains intact: the West must not be vulnerable to blackmail when it comes to critical raw materials. This means that stocks such as European Lithium and Standard Lithium remain attractive to investors. And what is BASF doing? The Company exemplifies the problems facing the German chemical industry. Can D-Wave Quantum help?

BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex: How to benefit from industry leaders in the energy transition
A new industrial era is dawning. Driven by the global energy transition, there is an unprecedented demand for clean technology, powerful batteries, and the metals that power them. But this multi-billion-dollar arms race reveals a critical vulnerability: the scarcity of strategic raw materials and fragile supply chains. The key to success no longer lies solely in innovation, but in mastering the entire value chain, from the mine to the finished plant. We take a closer look at three companies at the forefront of the energy transition: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex.

Raw materials war sends industry into panic – New buyers enter the resource sector: SAP, Barrick Mining, Globex Mining
Industry and the commodities sector are in turmoil. China's latest trade restrictions on critical raw materials are causing widespread uncertainty. Last week, China announced its intention to severely restrict exports of rare earths. In addition, raw materials that can serve military purposes will no longer be allowed to leave the country. Also on the list: Chinese expertise related to the extraction and processing of these raw materials. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has already quoted a China expert who sees a new dimension of extraterritoriality in these measures. Here is what investors should keep in mind now.
