| Ticker | Name | Research | View | What she said | At |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPTA | Perpetua Resources | QT · SA · STK · FA | Positive | The January pick. Developing Idaho's Stibnite Gold Project — one of the highest-grade open-pit US gold deposits (4.8M oz, ~450k oz/yr) plus the only identified antimony reserve in America (148M lb, ~35% of US demand). Permitted, construction started Oct 2025; DoD has put in $80M+ (DPA money), EXIM letter of interest up to $2B; ~$4.2B market cap still trades at a discount to project economics at current prices. Action: buy at US$40 or below. | read |
| AEM | Agnico Eagle Mines | QT · SA · STK · FA | Neutral | Cited as smart-money validation — one of the world's premier gold producers participated in Perpetua's October 2025 financing, part of the >$800M of equity PPTA has raised since June 2025. | read |
| Antimony | Antimony (defense metal) | — | Positive | The "Pentagon bonus." A defense-critical metalloid (~90% of supply in China/Russia/Tajikistan; US imports 85%). China's Dec-2024 export ban pushed it to ~$60k/ton; military-user exports stay banned, the National Defense Stockpile is near-depleted, and the DoD is funding a domestic "ground-to-round" supply chain — the strategic premium underpinning PPTA. | read |
| Gold | Gold | — | Positive | Around $5,400 amid tariff threats; central-bank holdings now exceed Treasury holdings (~$4T) and 95% of central banks plan to add more. Prinsights's 2026 target is $6,000 — the primary value driver for PPTA (~90% of Stibnite revenue). | read |
| Silver | Silver | — | Positive | Prinsights's top focus commodity for 2026 (~$115). Cumulative structural deficit since 2021 has reached 800M oz, vault inventories falling, industrial demand rising, and China imposed new export controls in January — Stibnite carries silver as a byproduct. | read |

A jargon-free summary of why each name is in the piece. (Plain-language companion to the table above; renders on each ticker's consolidated page.)
Perpetua is building a big, very high-grade gold mine in Idaho (the Stibnite project). On its own the gold math is excellent — costs were under $450 to produce an ounce in the old study, and gold now sells for over $5,400. But the kicker is that the same site holds the only known US deposit of antimony, a metal the military needs for ammunition and night-vision gear that the US currently has to import (mostly from China, which just cut off supply). So the Pentagon is writing checks: $80M+ in defense money plus an EXIM offer of up to $2B in loans. The mine is permitted and already under construction. Prins's call: buy at $40 or below, because the next big milestone (the final go-ahead decision this spring) should close the gap between the stock price and what the project is actually worth.
Agnico Eagle is one of the biggest, most respected gold miners in the world. Prins points out that it chose to put money into Perpetua's October 2025 fundraising. When a heavyweight like that backs a small developer, it's a vote of confidence — a "smart money" signal that the Stibnite project is the real deal. Agnico itself isn't the recommendation here; it's named as supporting evidence.
Antimony is an obscure metal that turns out to be essential for weapons, night vision, semiconductors, and grid batteries. Almost all of it comes from China, Russia, and Tajikistan, and the US imports most of what it uses. After China banned exports in late 2024, the price jumped about fivefold. The US military stockpile is nearly empty and the Pentagon is racing to build a home-grown supply — which is exactly why a US antimony source carries a strategic premium and why it makes Perpetua more than just a gold story.
