VOLATUS AEROSPACE - Drone supercycle meets undervaluation
Unmanned aviation has quietly developed into a key technology of the 21st century. Systems that were once ridiculed are now strategic tools for business, government, and the military. Modern drones no longer operate in isolation, but as part of networked AI architectures that generate situational awareness, predict risks, and coordinate missions autonomously. In conflict regions such as Ukraine or, more recently, between the US, Iran, and Israel, the critical importance of airborne real-time intelligence is evident daily. Where pilots, helicopters, and large deployment units were once necessary, flexible, software-driven platforms now perform precise tasks. Their advantages lie in high speed combined with low radar detectability. Added to this is economic scalability, meaning significantly lower costs while providing higher information density. These developments extend far beyond the military and are driving applications in energy, infrastructure, border security, and disaster management. Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSX-V: FLT | WKN: A2JEQU | ISIN: CA92865M1023) is one of the companies that anticipated this paradigm shift early on and implemented it industrially. For investors, this marks the beginning of a phase in which strategic relevance and growth are visibly converging for the first time. After a requested uplisting to the Canadian TSX, investors are now looking toward the NASDAQ. Time is of the essence…

DESERT GOLD - A new gold producer in Africa takes off
Zijin Mining's billion-dollar takeover deal for Allied Gold, worth CAD 5.5 billion, is accelerating the wave of consolidation in the African gold sector. Driven by record prices for precious metals, high margins for mining operations, and the strategic desire for long-lasting African assets in viable jurisdictions, investors' eyes are turning to lucrative properties. Wars, inflation, and exploding national debts make precious metals the ultimate protection. Gold has gained 30% since the beginning of the year, while its little brother, silver, is riding a wave of stockpiling. Most analysts argue that short-term speculation is now giving way to medium-term value stability. Giants such as Barrick Mining with Loulo-Gounkoto, B2Gold with Fekola, and now Zijin via Allied's Sadiola mine are strategically positioning themselves in the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), yet Mali's gold production fell by 23% in 2025. Canadian company Desert Gold Ventures controls the "reserve bank" between these Tier 1 mines with a 440 km² land package in the immediate vicinity, supplemented by scalable resources of currently over 1 million ounces. Today, it is clear that producers are no longer chasing visions, but rather expandable positions along proven zones. This is where Desert Gold's strength lies, either as a seamless add-on or as a small mine with an NPV of over USD 100 million at current gold prices. What Allied, Barrick, and B2Gold are demonstrating, Desert Gold can quickly replicate on a smaller scale. And if in doubt, the successful explorer will become the logical next takeover candidate in this elite league. The excitement is mounting, and so is the valuation!

NEO BATTERY MATERIALS – The Western response to China's battery monopoly
Electrification is no longer a promise for the future, but an infrastructural reality. Autonomous systems, drone fleets, industrial robotics, AI data centers, and electromobility are growing in parallel – and they all share a common bottleneck: powerful energy storage devices. While software, sensor technology, and computing power are scaling exponentially, batteries as physical components are increasingly reaching their limits. This is precisely where it is decided which technologies will become marketable and which will ultimately fail. The global battery market is currently still dominated by Chinese suppliers who have built up production capacities and economies of scale over decades. However, geopolitical risks, export controls, and security-related applications are forcing Western industries to rethink their approach. The next generation of batteries offers the first opportunity to break this structural dependency. At the heart of this development are specialized technology companies such as NEO Battery Materials (ISIN: CA62908A1003 | TSX-V: NBM | WKN: A2QQBV), which enable higher energy densities, shorter charging times, and significant cost advantages with silicon-reinforced anodes. The transition from the classic lithium-ion cell to performance-optimized silicon architecture marks not an evolutionary step, but the beginning of an industrial realignment of the energy storage market.

POWER METALLIC MINES – Lion becomes a high-grade concentrate monster
Power Metallic Mines Inc. (WKN: A40S32 | ISIN: CA73929R1055 | Ticker Symbol: PNPN) announces outstanding initial metallurgical test results for the Lion Zone at the NISK Project, exceeding all expectations and positioning the project as a high-profile polymetallic asset. After a prolonged consolidation phase, the polymetallic sector is showing a dynamic turnaround, driven by extraordinary circumstances that are slowly becoming the new normal.
+++ Québec, Canada, is one of the best countries in the world for sustainable mining
+++ World-class discoveries of copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, silver, and cobalt
+++ Adjacent to a nearby highway with direct access to green, CO2-neutral power
+++ 100,000-meter drilling program ensures abundant news flow in the coming months
+++ Demand boom for strategic metals continues unabated
+++ A locked cycle test (LCT) by SGS Canada achieved a sulfide concentrate of 25.8% copper
+++ Recoveries of 98.9% Cu, 93.9% Pd, 96.8% Pt, 85% Au, 88.9% Ag, and 77.1% Ni are unique
+++ Still undervalued with a market capitalization of just over CAD 370 million
+++ Analysts see up to 88% upside potential at a current price of CAD 1.60
Power Metallics' 313 km² land package in Québec, Canada, expanded through acquisitions in 2025, now controls the Nisk-Lion-Tiger corridor with 50 km of prospective basin margins. The Company is thus targeting Canada's next major polymetallic mine. The Western world is under pressure to act – the revaluation of Power Metallic shares is therefore only just beginning.

Silver Viper Minerals – Leveraging new silver discoveries in Mexico's core regions
What an exceptional situation on the silver market! Gold's "little sister metal" has made a striking price jump in recent days, reaching the USD 95 per ounce mark for the first time. This price level reveals the enormous discrepancy between limited physical supply and global demand. Unlike the legendary Hunt episode in the early 1980s, when a few large investors virtually sucked the market dry, the current rally is fueled by a broad-based structural supply deficit that has grown over many years. This scarcity is driven on the one hand by the sharp increase in industrial use in photovoltaics, electronics, and electromobility, and on the other hand by geopolitical tensions, escalating government debt, and a weakened US dollar, which is directing capital into real assets. At the same time, physical availability is declining: annual mine production is largely stagnating or increasing only minimally, while many deposits are barely able to keep up with dynamic demand. This is particularly evident in the major trading hubs, where reported inventories have been declining for years. Silver Viper (ISIN: CA8283344098 | TSX-V: VIPR | FRA: VIPRF | WKN: A40Z5M) is an emerging Canadian explorer focused on silver, gold, and copper deposits in Mexico. The story is just getting started!

ANTIMONY RESOURCES - From exploration project to strategic asset
The global order of commodity markets is in a state of upheaval. Geopolitical tensions, export restrictions, and a highly concentrated supply structure for strategic metals are forcing Western industrialized nations to rethink their approach. Commodities with security and technology policy relevance are increasingly becoming the focus of political and economic decision-making processes. In this environment, new winners are emerging, especially where stable jurisdictions meet geologically promising projects. Antimony Resources (ISIN: CA0369271014 | CSE: ATMY | FRA: K8JO | WKN: A414DM) is positioning itself specifically as a potential building block for an independent Western supply by strategically developing the Bald Hill project, taking into account both political and economic conditions. The US administration knows that time is running out! Investors should take note!

GLOBEX MINING - The 200% opportunity in the commodity supercycle
In an increasingly fragile geopolitical environment characterized by military conflicts, structural over-indebtedness, and the ongoing erosion of fiat purchasing power, gold is once again moving into the strategic focus of both institutional and private investors. The massive purchases by central banks, with over 1,045 tons in 2024 alone and an estimated 1,200 tons in 2025, are less tactical in nature and more an expression of a long-term loss of confidence in the existing monetary system. At the same time, there is a shortage of physical stocks on the futures exchanges, which is providing additional support for the price. While cryptocurrencies are discussed as "digital gold," they have so far lacked the stability required for conservative asset protection. Companies such as Globex Mining benefit twice in this environment: from rising metal prices and from a business model that does not rely on a permanent inflow of capital. Globex Mining is the focus of attention as a broadly diversified resource owner. Founded in 1949 and now led by CEO Jack Stoch, the Canadian company is consistently focused on the acquisition, development, and targeted leasing of resource-rich properties, primarily in Canada and the US. With currently 265 assets and a broad diversification across gold, silver, base metal, and specialty metal projects, Globex is benefiting not only from the current precious metals boom, but also from political developments such as resource scarcity and trade tariffs. In 2026, a revaluation could take place that has not yet been seen.
