Almonty Industries, MP Materials, and other commodity stocks have already demonstrated the new reality: in today's geopolitical environment, commodities are becoming critical, and stock prices can multiply dramatically. Antimony Resources offers investors an opportunity to participate at a comparatively early stage. History shows that when mining companies transition from explorer to producer, valuations can move into the billions. Despite a strong rally, Antimony Resources is still valued at "only" around EUR 50 million. Due to pressure from the US government and a mining-friendly jurisdiction, Antimony Resources could advance toward production significantly faster than is typical in the sector. A direct involvement by the US government would not be surprising. After investments in MP Materials, Vulcan Elements, and Trilogy Metals, the Trump administration recently pumped billions into USA Rare Earth. Could Antimony Resources be next?

    From niche metal to strategic factor

    Antimony has gone from being a niche metal to a strategic factor. This is precisely what Antimony Resources is benefiting from. In a recent interview with Lyndsay Malchuk of the International Investment Forum, Antimony Resources CEO Jim Atkinson emphasizes that defense, supply chains, and energy security have made the metal "critical." At the same time, North America has only limited control over its supply. With Bald Hill in New Brunswick, Canada, the company is developing a project in a mining-friendly jurisdiction that, according to Atkinson, explicitly promotes production. This tailwind is increasingly crucial, especially for critical raw materials.

    High-grade results

    Atkinson also reports on the latest results from Phase 2 drilling. In 2025, the company drilled more than 8,000 meters, bringing the total volume of drilling on the property to over 13,800 meters. The published grades are among the highest reported grades in North America to date. The company also aims to be "at the forefront" internationally. For Atkinson, consistency is more important than a single hit. In the first program, 75% to 80% of the drilling already yielded high-grade antimony. The second round follows a similar pattern. The goal now is to transition from exploration potential to a reliable resource. This will be achieved through a denser drill hole sequence and support from a consulting firm. Antimony Resources is planning a 10,000-meter program with a focus on "definition drilling" in the main area, but also intends to pursue two additional mineralized zones, including a newly discovered zone on the west side.

    Efficient and fast production

    Compared to other projects, Atkinson believes Antimony Resources is better positioned, particularly in terms of capital requirements. His argument: high grade beats size. He points out that Bald Hill is significantly higher grade on average than known references in North America and could therefore start as a lean underground project. From this, he deduces potentially lower costs and faster feasibility. In addition, New Brunswick is working on a critical minerals strategy that is intended to shorten approval times. Environmental standards and the involvement of local communities would not be neglected in the process. According to Atkinson, Antimony Resources is preparing the approval process early and aims to submit the application at the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027, with the goal of rapidly developing the project toward production.

    Conclusion: A highly attractive metal and equity opportunity

    Antimony is a highly compelling critical metal, alongside rare earths and tungsten. Antimony Resources is currently valued at around EUR 50 million, suggesting substantial upside potential. A potential entry by the US government is far from unlikely and would almost certainly act as a catalyst for further share price appreciation.

    Commodity Stocks on the Verge of a Breakout? First Majestic Silver, Globex Mining and B2Gold in Focus

    Until recently, markets largely took it for granted that US interest rates would rise this year. But several factors now point in the opposite direction, not least Donald Trump's calls for lower rates. More importantly, the economic data is increasingly arguing against a rate hike, even though inflation remains elevated and above the Federal Reserve's target range. Most recently, it was the weak US jobs data that fueled the markets. Instead of creating new jobs, the US economy is currently seeing employment decline. For precious metals, this provided an additional boost following an already strong start to the week. Investors may therefore want to position themselves early, as the next rally in the sector could already be underway. Today, we take a closer look at First Majestic Silver, Globex Mining and B2Gold.

    The latest sharp rise in the price of gold has not only broken technical barriers but also shattered financial market dogma. Normally, gold prices would be expected to decline when US real yields reach new highs. This time, however, both are moving higher in tandem — a sign of waning confidence in monetary policy. Added to this is the fact that paper gold has reportedly been banned in China, potentially increasing demand for physical bullion. This could fuel the next rally in the long term. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at industry leader Newmont, emerging gold producer Lahontan Gold, and Agnico Eagle.

    Germany's major sportswear manufacturers are each fighting for market share, margins, and consumer and investor attention in an increasingly challenging consumer environment. While the company with the three stripes from Herzogenaurach is currently shining with impressive record sales, its direct neighbour, also based in Herzogenaurach and sporting the leaping big cat, is having to digest painful declines and try to reinvent itself. But beyond these two German sportswear giants lies another intriguing story: that of a still-small but highly ambitious gold explorer in West Africa. The company could be approaching important news regarding the start of production and may also be on the verge of a decisive technical breakout. Investors focusing solely on the battle between the two sportswear giants could therefore miss the potential breakout of this smaller explorer. Join us as we move from Franconian sportswear to the gold deposits of Mali to explore where the opportunities in the market may currently lie.
