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.

    Is It Time to Sell Gerresheimer? Aerospace and Gold Contenders Step Into the Spotlight: OHB and Lahontan Gold in Focus

    A major coup for OHB. Germany's space industry hopeful has secured a contract worth billions. Could this also give the share price another boost? Even its inclusion in the SDAX failed to halt the sharp correction. The gold price is currently performing strongly once again. As such, the timing for Lahontan Gold shares could hardly be better. The exploration company is currently taking the final steps toward becoming a producer. The mine is set to be built in the US state of Nevada next year. The resource estimate was recently raised to 2.4 million ounces, and management sees plenty more potential. Is the rally at Gerresheimer, up over 50%, now coming to an end? The group, battered by profit warnings, costly takeovers and accounting issues, is working on a comeback. Yet analysts are advising "Sell".

    Billions from Washington and Brussels: Almonty Industries, Aurubis and MP Materials Are Benefiting from the Boom

    Supply chains and raw materials security are increasingly becoming priorities for Western governments. While Washington is providing billions in funding for domestic mining projects, Brussels has ushered in a regulatory shift with the Critical Raw Materials Act. Government subsidy programs for critical raw materials are putting resource companies firmly in the spotlight. The effort to secure Western supply chains is particularly evident in the case of three companies whose news flow in August 2026 caught investors' attention: Almonty Industries, Aurubis and MP Materials.
