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.

    Gold Rush 2.0: Why Barrick Mining, Agnico Eagle, and Kobo Resources Are Setting the Pace Now

    The global economy is in turmoil. Tangible assets are regaining massive importance. As the global AI revolution devours vast amounts of resources and trade restrictions cause shortages of strategic raw materials, gold is once again taking center stage as the ultimate safe haven. In this tense environment, investors are not only looking at established industry players like Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle, which could be poised to return to all-time highs. Dynamic explorers like Kobo Resources are also attracting attention with massive discoveries in West Africa. A look at the numbers and recent developments suggests we may be only at the beginning of a multi-year trend. This trend is likely to separate the wheat from the chaff and reward the bold. The current technical resistance levels may now become mere stepping stones on the way up. In any case, the hunger for raw materials seems far from satisfied.

    WOMEN POWER IN THE GOLD HOTSPOT: THE SUCCESS FORMULA OF NEWMONT, LAHONTAN GOLD, AND PARAMOUNT GOLD NEVADA

    It was a seismic shift that resonated far beyond Wall Street and deep into the shafts of the global mining industry: when Natascha Viljoen took the helm at Newmont, the world's largest gold mining company, earlier this year, it was far more than just a leadership change. It marked a definitive signal that the era of the "Old Boys Club" in mining is coming to an end. Away from the major headlines, this transformation is also unfolding elsewhere—particularly in the gold hotspot of Nevada. There, companies like Lahontan Gold and Paramount Gold Nevada are demonstrating that female leadership and expertise are increasingly setting the benchmark for the next generation of mining operations. Together, these three companies—from global heavyweight to specialized explorer—impressively demonstrate that in the 21st century, women's leadership has become a key economic factor in what was once a male-dominated field.

    A More Defensive Approach to Investing in Commodities: How Franco-Nevada, Globex Mining, and BHP Diversify Their Risk

    • royalties
    • Commodities

    Investors looking to avoid single-stock exposure in the commodities sector can turn to broadly diversified companies. These companies typically provide capital and, in return, receive license fees—so-called royalties. The advantage: they do not bear the operational risks of running a mine. In addition, royalties are generally calculated based on revenue rather than profit. When costs rise—such as in the current environment of higher energy prices—the impact falls primarily on the mine operator, not the royalty holder. With this business model, Franco-Nevada has grown into one of the largest royalty companies in the industry. However, smaller players like Globex Mining are also worth a closer look. Meanwhile, mining giant BHP represents an alternative approach through scale and diversification across multiple commodities.
