The narrative around critical minerals is no longer just a story of energy transition. It has become a complex intersection of economics, security, diplomacy, and market psychology. At first, it was about rare earths and lithium. Now the ripples have spread across copper, gold, iron ore, antimony, and more.

When it comes to development-ready assets, timing is everything. Larvotto Resources has just released a highly compelling Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its Hillgrove Antimony-Gold Project in New South Wales—and it’s arrived at the right time. Gold prices are flying. Antimony prices are surging. Even tungsten is starting to catch a bid. Hillgrove is set to become a key player in a world hungry for critical minerals and strategic metals.

In my opinion, Tungsten should be one of the most critical metals on any investor's watchlist. The scarcity of the metal as an economical deposit, in my opinion, makes this metal high on the list. There are a few market factors that make Tungsten a very volatile commodity, and the China influence makes this metal difficult to predict in terms of its market value.
