Welcome to episode 64 of The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, where Stockhouse columnists Jonathon Brown and me, Trevor Abes, each deliver a 2.5-minute profile on a stock related to recent investment news. This week, with tungsten prices surging by more than 500 per cent since market leader China instituted export controls in February 2025, and the metal serving essential cross-industry roles spanning construction equipment, ammunition, rockets, spacecraft and semiconductors, Western nations are searching far and wide for miners with the potential to boost long-term domestic supply. Jon brings us the first in a pair of Canadian miners stepping up to the plate.
