VOLATUS AEROSPACE: Targeting the Billion-Dollar Market for Autonomous Systems
Unmanned aviation is no longer just a vision! In recent years, there has been a significant acceleration; currently, the market is shifting from a supporting technology toward a standalone military-industrial infrastructure. Today, data, autonomy, and speed are what matter; they have become more crucial than raw hardware performance. Modern operational scenarios show that drones are no longer isolated aircraft but are embedded as networked systems within AI architectures that integrate target detection, route planning, and battlefield analysis in real time. Current conflicts make it clear that military superiority increasingly stems from the ability to process information flows faster than the enemy can react. In parallel, a new paradigm of anti-drone warfare is emerging, in which detection, jamming, and neutralization are becoming just as important as the mission itself. Amid this dynamic, the market is shifting toward integrated platforms that combine hardware, software, training, and mission management. Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSX-V: FLT | WKN: A2JEQU | ISIN: CA92865M1023) has recognized the signs of the times and is positioning itself at this intersection of operational drone use and scalable autonomy and data architecture. For the capital market, this creates a profile in which geopolitical demand, software monetization, and industrial scaling are increasingly intertwined. Things could not be going better! Volatus is increasingly being perceived as a platform provider in a new generation of autonomous air and security infrastructure. Following successful financing, the stock is surging again!

STRATEGIC RESOURCES - At the Heart of Critical Metal Supply
The hunt for critical raw materials has long since reached a new dimension. While Europe and North America seek to reduce their dependence on Chinese supply chains, new resource hubs of strategic importance for industry, defence, and the energy transition are emerging. The Canadian province of Québec plays a key role in this context. Thanks to political stability, affordable hydropower, modern infrastructure, and government support, the region is developing into a central component of the North American supply system for critical metals. On the ground, the resource explorer Strategic Resources (CAD 0.27 | TSX-V: SR | WKN: A2AP0B | ISIN: CA86277X3004) has already ticked off a long list of requirements to establish a firm foothold in this era of scarcity.
With the BlackRock project, the company possesses an unusual combination of iron, vanadium, and titanium—three raw materials needed for both the decarbonization of the steel industry and for battery and defence applications. Particularly exciting is the planned production of high-quality DR-grade iron ore pellets. These are considered an indispensable raw material for modern electric arc furnaces and hydrogen-capable direct reduction plants, which are intended to reduce the steel industry's CO₂ emissions worldwide. Added to this is the strategic integration into the North American value chain. With government support, a planned annual processing capacity of 4 million tonnes, and a partnership to develop vanadium-based battery materials, the company has already moved beyond its infancy. Strategic Resources is thus far more than a traditional commodity stock—it is a bet on the restructuring of Western supply chains for critical metals and the industrial transformation of North America. With a market capitalization of just CAD 16 million, the story is really picking up steam!

LAHONTAN GOLD - Moving Forward at a Rapid Pace
Gold is back in vogue! Central banks purchased more than 850 tons of the yellow metal in 2025, with only a few selling off their reserves. But where is all this gold coming from? The US state of Nevada accounts for around 70% of total US gold production, making it one of the most significant mining regions worldwide. The state alone is home to billions in investments from international mining companies and a multitude of active mining projects concentrated in a small area. Rising inflation and geopolitical uncertainties are once again directing capital flows toward precious metals, with a clear focus on politically stable mining regions. In addition to Barrick Mining and Newmont, there are a number of projects at various stages of development. Lahontan Gold Corp. (ISIN: CA50732M1014 | TSX-V: LG | FRA: Y2F | WKN: A3DKKY) is very far along; the first ounces are expected to enter circulation as early as 2027. The Santa Fe project is at the center of this. Recent drilling programs are providing key data for environmental and permitting issues, particularly regarding groundwater and future tailings disposal. At the same time, an updated resource estimate is nearing completion, which will serve as the basis for a new economic assessment. With secured financing through 2027 and extensive follow-up drilling at multiple target zones, the company is systematically building value. A new gold rush in Nevada has begun!

ALMONTY INDUSTRIES - The Largest Western Tungsten Supplier
The days of smooth commodity flows are over. Tariff barriers, export bans, and targeted supply restrictions on critical metals are shifting from the exception to the structural norm. For investors, these are no longer marginal issues but key drivers of valuations and risk premiums. This dynamic is exacerbated by increasing geopolitical fragmentation, not least due to the Iran conflict, which acts as an additional stress factor on energy and logistics routes and ruthlessly exposes the vulnerability of global supply chains. Western industries are thus coming under massive pressure to act. In key strategic sectors such as semiconductor technology, aerospace, and defence, order volumes are skyrocketing. Within the NATO framework, defence spending as a share of GDP has been steadily rising, and orders since 2024 have multiplied rapidly. This trend is unlikely to lose momentum amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. At the same time, rising demand for security-related materials is forcing companies to reorganize their procurement strategies. Tungsten is a critical metal which has driven up its procurement price by a factor of 10. The beneficiary in this environment is the tungsten and molybdenum specialist Almonty Industries (WKN: A414Q8 | ISIN: CA0203987072 | Ticker Symbol (FRA/USA): ALI/ALM). A comprehensive revaluation is already underway, but analysts believe there is still plenty of room for further upside.

FIRST HYDROGEN - Positioned for the Future
The world keeps turning! A noticeable shift in strategy is underway in Brussels. While the expansion of renewable energy remains at the heart of the European "Green Deal," the EU is increasingly recognizing that a stable baseload supply and hydrogen production are hardly realistically scalable without additional nuclear capacity. This is precisely why nuclear energy, and modern SMR technologies in particular, have already been classified as climate-friendly transitional solutions in parts of the European taxonomy, while programs like "REPowerEU" are driving billions in investments in hydrogen infrastructure and energy security. At the same time, the global market for autonomous systems, security robotics, and drone services is growing at an enormous pace. First Hydrogen (0.33 EUR | WKN: A3C40W | ISIN: CA32057N1042) is no longer positioning itself solely in the hydrogen segment, but now at the intersection of energy, defence technology, robotics, and AI infrastructure. As a new multi-player in the energy and security segment, the Canadians are already well-positioned. The market is buzzing!

LAHONTAN GOLD - Focus on Millions of Ounces of Gold
With inflation data currently exceeding 3%, the price of gold is once again making headlines and drawing investor interest toward promising precious metal projects. Hardly any region in the U.S. combines mineral wealth, infrastructure, and regulatory stability as consistently as Nevada. The state is considered the backbone of American gold production and, due to its low political risks, has attracted billions in investments from international mining companies for decades. Major producers such as Barrick Gold and Newmont Corporation control multi-billion-dollar mining complexes there, making Nevada synonymous with political stability, infrastructure, and mining-friendly regulation. In particular, the approximately 800-kilometer-long Walker Lane is regarded by geologists as one of North America’s most exciting gold and silver corridors—featuring numerous historic mines, new discoveries, and enormous exploration potential. It is precisely there that Lahontan Gold Corp. (ISIN: CA50732M1014 | TSX-V: LG | FRA: Y2F | WKN: A3DKKY) is driving its transformation from explorer to future producer and working to bring a historically producing gold mine back into operation. Particularly exciting: With every new drilling program, not only does the resource grow, but so does the prospect of a significantly larger underground gold system. At the same time, with potential production as early as 2027, a classic revaluation cycle is drawing nearer. Time is of the essence!

DESERT GOLD - The First Ounces Come to Light
In times of rising government debt, geopolitical uncertainty, and persistent inflation concerns, gold remains the preferred store of value for many investors. The hunt for high-quality gold projects in West Africa is reaching a new level of intensity as gold prices near USD 5,000. International mining companies are increasingly securing strategic positions along Africa's key gold corridors while generating record cash flows at current spot prices. The Senegal-Mali Shear Zone, in particular, is emerging as a focal point of institutional attention, as it combines world-class geology, existing infrastructure, and multi-million-ounce deposits. It is precisely there that the Canadian explorer and developer Desert Gold Ventures controls a 440 km² land package situated between the Tier-1 mines of Barrick Mining, B2Gold, and Allied Gold. To date, 1.2 million ounces of gold resources have been identified, but exploration efforts have recently been intensified. The difference from many other explorers: Desert Gold is now visibly moving toward production. The modular gravity plant for Barani East is already en route to Mali, with commissioning targeted for July 2026, and the ongoing drilling programs could further expand the resource. According to the PEA sensitivity analysis and the assumption of stable gold prices, the project value is rapidly rising to levels well above USD 100 million at current prices. Consequently, in their latest research update, analysts at GBC AG now estimate the fair value of the stock at CAD 0.93 and openly speak of significant revaluation potential.

LAHONTAN GOLD - Nevada's Next Gold Mine Is Taking Shape
For decades, the US state of Nevada has been one of the world's most significant gold-producing regions. With over 225 million ounces mined, it has built an impressive mining history that continues to attract international investors to this day. Major producers such as Barrick Mining and Newmont Corporation have established multi-billion-dollar mines here, laying the foundation for Nevada's reputation as a stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction. In particular, the approximately 800-km-long Walker Lane is considered one of North America's most exciting gold and silver corridors, where new deposits are continually being discovered and developed. It is precisely in this established mining district that Lahontan Gold Corp. (ISIN: CA50732M1014 | TSX-V: LG | FRA: Y2F | WKN: A3DKKY) is working to bring a historically producing mine back into production and systematically expand the existing resources. This positions the company in an environment that has already produced numerous success stories—and, with further progress, it could itself rise to become one of the next development projects in the gold-rich state of Nevada. The stock has already increased more than tenfold since 2025, yet the story is only just beginning!
