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.

    BYD sales figures plummet! Power Metallic Mines as the raw materials king and Volkswagen on a transformation course

    The electromobility boom is facing its toughest reality: the battle for lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, and rare earths. While demand continues to rise, access to these critical raw materials will determine the winners and losers of the new era. This supply-side bottleneck confronts three very different players with fundamentally different challenges: the Chinese EV giant BYD in its tense domestic market, the up-and-coming supplier Power Metallic Mines, with its vast source of raw materials, and the long-established automaker Volkswagen, which is deep into a costly transformation. We take a closer look at where each stands today.

    SILVER CRASH - From USD 122 to USD 72! Time to sharpen your knives with TKMS, CSG, Silver Viper, and thyssenkrupp

    The explosive rise in the price of silver, which rose almost in a straight line from around USD 35 to USD 122 by the end of last week, is now taking its speculative toll. The precious metal has soared by more than 300% within 14 months, accompanied by widespread rumors of huge short positions and extreme problems for the futures exchanges in terms of material supply. The fact remains that silver has been used for several years across various high-tech industries, from wind power and e-mobility to state-of-the-art defense technology. Manufacturers are also said to have been spotted on the market making large cover purchases due to impending physical shortages. Industry sources report a possible deficit of over 1 billion ounces in the March settlement – equivalent to around 125% of total annual production. In addition to the exciting silver explorer Silver Viper, we also analyze thyssenkrupp, its subsidiary TKMS, and the newcomer to the stock market, CSG. It is worth reading on.

    The gold correction is irrelevant here: Why Desert Gold is the missing piece of the puzzle for B2Gold and Allied Gold

    The gold market is in a phase that analysts now refer to as a supercycle. With prices breaking historical records, smart capital is turning its attention to the world's most productive regions – even after the recent correction in precious metals. West Africa, and specifically the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), is considered the geological heartland. This is where some of the largest and richest mines on the planet are located. But the business follows an inexorable logic: even the largest mines are emptying, and the processing plants need to be kept busy. This is true in the south of the zone for Canadian giant B2Gold with its world-class Fekola mine and in the north for Allied Gold, which is revitalizing the historic Sadiola asset. Desert Gold is considered a potential supporter of both companies. The company controls the largest non-producing land parcel in the entire region, located precisely between the two giants. This makes Desert Gold extremely interesting for investors.
