Graphite One: Building North America's premier graphite supply chain
In the first two articles of this series, we explored the essential nature of graphite—its role in powering electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and high-tech manufacturing—and examined its strategic importance to national security and military readiness. Now, we turn our attention to a company at the forefront of addressing North America's graphite dependency: Graphite One Inc. (TSXV:GPH). A strategic asset in Alaska: The Graphite Creek Project
Graphite One's flagship initiative, the Graphite Creek Project, is located on the Seward Peninsula in Alaska, approximately 60 kilometers north of Nome. Recognized by the U.S. Geological Survey as the largest known flake graphite deposit in the United States, Graphite Creek is now considered among the largest in the world.
Recent updates from the company reveal a dramatic expansion in the project's scope. The 2025 feasibility study, completed 15 months ahead of schedule with support from the U.S. Department of Defense under the Defense Production Act Title III, shows a 317 per cent increase in proven and probable reserves and a 322 per cent increase in measured and indicated resources compared to the 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study. Vertical integration: From mine to battery-grade material
Graphite One's vision extends far beyond mining. The company is executing a fully integrated supply chain strategy—from raw graphite extraction at Graphite Creek to the production of anode active material at a planned secondary treatment plant in Ohio.
This vertical integration is critical. The U.S. currently imports 100 per cent of its natural graphite, a vulnerability in the face of rising demand for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles. By producing battery-grade graphite domestically, Graphite One aims to eliminate a key supply chain bottleneck and support the U.S. transition to clean energy and advanced manufacturing. Milestones and momentum
Graphite One has achieved several key milestones in 2025: Feasibility study completion : Validated a 20-year mine life with a projected annual output of 175,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate.
: Validated a 20-year mine life with a projected annual output of 175,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate. Federal support : Received funding and strategic backing from the Department of Defense.
: Received funding and strategic backing from the Department of Defense. Permitting phase : Entered permitting with strong momentum, supported by a recent Executive Order prioritizing domestic mineral production.
: Entered permitting with strong momentum, supported by a recent Executive Order prioritizing domestic mineral production. Economic viability: The feasibility study projects a pre-tax NPV of $6.4 billion and a 30 per cent internal rate of return, with commercial anode active material production expected by 2028. Economic and ESG impact
Graphite One's project is in a position to deliver significant economic and environmental benefits: Job creation : The project will generate high-quality jobs in Alaska and Ohio, supporting local economies and Indigenous communities.
: The project will generate high-quality jobs in Alaska and Ohio, supporting local economies and Indigenous communities. Environmental stewardship : The company is committed to responsible development, with environmental planning integrated into every phase.
: The company is committed to responsible development, with environmental planning integrated into every phase. Community engagement: Graphite One is working closely with local stakeholders to ensure long-term, shared value. A pillar of U.S. mineral independence
In a world increasingly defined by geopolitical competition and technological transformation, Graphite One's project is more than a business venture—it's a strategic imperative. As the U.S. seeks to reduce reliance on foreign critical minerals, particularly from China, Graphite One offers a homegrown solution that aligns with national priorities in energy security, defense, and green technology leadership. Investor's corner
As we've explored in this series, graphite is not just a material—it's a cornerstone of the 21st-century economy. From its indispensable role in batteries and electronics to its strategic value in defense, the case for domestic graphite production is clear.
Graphite One Inc. stands at the nexus of this opportunity. With a world-class deposit, a vertically integrated strategy, strong government support, and a compelling economic profile, the company is uniquely positioned to lead North America's graphite renaissance.
For investors seeking exposure to the future of energy, technology, and national resilience, Graphite One deserves a closer look. We encourage you to deepen your due diligence, revisit the earlier articles in this series, and consider how this emerging leader fits into your long-term investment strategy.

Palantir Stock (PLTR) Could Emerge as a Big Winner in the Israel-Iran Conflict
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has long positioned itself as a critical player in the defense and intelligence sectors. As tensions escalate between Israel and Iran, investors are revisiting defense-tech stocks that could benefit from increased global demand for advanced AI-powered security systems. Consequently, Palantir is gaining investor interest due to its advanced data tools, supporting military and intelligence efforts. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Earlier in June, Middle East tensions escalated when Israel launched targeted attacks on Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure, sparking fears of a wider regional conflict. As a result, oil prices and defense-related stocks surged amid rising geopolitical uncertainty. Palantir's Investment Opportunity Palantir could benefit from the Israel-Iran conflict because its technology helps governments with defense, intelligence, and battlefield decisions. Since it already works closely with Israel's defense ministry and the U.S. government, rising tensions may increase demand for its services, making the stock more attractive to some investors. Meanwhile, Palantir's strong ties with the U.S. government appear solid, especially with the Department of Defense. In fact, most of the company's revenue last year came from government contracts, highlighting its steady role as a key defense tech provider. Notably, Palantir delivered strong Q1 2025 results, with revenue growing 39% year-over-year, well above expectations. U.S. performance stood out, jumping 55%, while its commercial business in the U.S. hit a $1 billion annual run rate for the first time. On the downside, Palantir's lofty valuation may dim its appeal. The stock is currently trading at a forward P/E ratio of 240, far above the sector median of 22.71. This raises concerns about whether its growth justifies the premium. While the company delivered strong Q1 results and impressive U.S. revenue growth, some analysts argue that these positives were already priced in. Analysts Weigh In on PLTR Stock Analyst opinions on Palantir remain divided. On the bullish side, Loop Capital's top analyst, Mark Schappel, recently raised his price target from $130 to $155, reiterating a Buy rating. He praised Palantir as an 'early software leader' in enterprise AI, citing its AIP platform and strong positioning in the booming AI space. In contrast, Citi remains cautious with a $115 price target, implying over 17% downside. Although the firm acknowledged Palantir's solid fundamentals, it raised concerns about the stock's stretched valuation and uncertainty around large-scale contracts like Golden Dome. Is Palantir Stock a Good Buy? Overall, Wall Street has a Hold consensus rating on PLTR stock, based on three Buys, 10 Holds, and four Sells assigned in the last three months. The average Palantir share price target is $104.27, which implies a potential downside of 25.5% from current levels. See more PLTR analyst ratings Disclaimer & Disclosure Report an Issue

Two rebounding stocks for the long run
While many investors are fond of bowing down to market fluctuations as gospel, the mostly unspoken truth is that rebounding stocks, as well as those in precipitous downfalls, require supporting facts for these fluctuations to qualify as rational. In other words, a stock's spike up or down speaks to its underlying company's valuation only if there's evidence for it. In its absence, the market's bipolar tendencies might be offering you a discount to build a position, or overvaluation to make a profitable exit. In its presence, you're the beneficiary of a data-driven investment thesis and can begin to hash out expectations in terms of time horizon and expected return. In the newest edition of Stockhouse's Weekly Market Movers, I'll analyze a pair of rebounding mining stocks supported by operations that seem to have what it takes to ramp up momentum moving forward. Atlas Salt Our first rebounding stock, Atlas Salt, market capitalization C$47.67 million, is developing the Great Atlantic salt project in Newfoundland, which is positioned to be Canada's next salt mine. The feasibility-stage project holds an estimated post-tax net present value of C$553 million, offering the potential for a 34-year operating life extracting about 84.5 million tons of salt in probable reserves, in addition to resources of 368 million tons indicated and 827 million tons inferred. According to Atlas Salt's investor presentation for June 2025, the price of U.S. rock salt imports has more than doubled since 2000 to over US$65 per ton, with North America importing about a quarter of its salt annually, granting the company plenty of room to capitalize on the ongoing trend of onshoring critical material supply chains. At total capital costs of C$1.1 billion, with a payback period of only 5 years, Great Atlantic is rapidly advancing towards production through permitting and an updated feasibility study to further validate project economics for investors and offtake partners. An initial non-binding memorandum of understanding with Scotwood Industries targets distribution of 1.25 to 1.50 million tons of salt products per year. Atlas Salt stock (TSXV:SALT), in turn, has bounced back by 36.11 per cent from its year-to-date low, largely driven by the upcoming feasibility study and the hiring of a new CEO and CFO that bring ample experience with major miners and financial institutions. I think a handful of priorities in 2025 are likely to keep pushing the stock up and to the right, including advancing regulatory compliance, geotechnical and hydrological site evaluation, potential production expansion, as well as the conversion of a pipeline of strategic partnerships into initial revenue. Nolan Peterson, Atlas Salt's CEO, spoke with Stockhouse's Lyndsay Malchuk about the new feasibility study, which is expected in Q3 2025. Watch the interview here. Kootenay Silver Our second rebounding stock, Kootenay Silver, market capitalization C$74.89 million, is a mineral explorer that controls one of the largest junior silver portfolios in Mexico, which Visual Capitalist ranks as the world's top silver-producing country. The company's portfolio is highlighted by: Its flagship Columba project, housing a maiden resource estimated at 54.1 million ounces in silver resources inferred. The Promontorio-La Negra and La Cigarra properties, representing a collective 214.2 million ounces of silver equivalent measured and indicated and 54.9 million ounces of silver equivalent inferred. At prices as of June 20, these properties are sitting on more than US$11.6 billion in silver in the ground combined, a sum on a completely different plane of existence versus the company's micro market capitalization. And with Kootenay stock up by only 2.56 per cent year-over-year, heavily trailing silver's 20 per cent gain, you wouldn't exactly intuit the company's multi-billion-dollar potential, or the fact that its operations are well-equipped to close this valuation-resource gap in a significant way. Key drivers behind this thesis include: A leadership team with success developing early-stage mining projects into acquisition-worthy targets. A C$17.4 million bought-deal offering with Research Capital expected to close on June 25 to further advance Columba, with funds going towards an ongoing 50,000-metre drilling program that has yielded numerous intercepts in the thousands of grams of silver per ton (g/t) with numerous high-grade targets still to be explored. An abundance of targets on its secondary properties waiting in the wings to add fuel to a bid for a stock price re-rating. An approximately 5 per cent investment from Canadian Mining Hall of Fame member Eric Sprott doesn't hurt either, in terms of differentiating the company from competitors when it comes to future capital raises. Over the past month-and-a-half, the market has been showing early signs of recognizing the value proposition we're laying out, with Kootenay stock (TSXV:KTN) adding more than 30 per cent over the period propelled by Columba's maiden resource, as well as a highlight intercept of 7,360 g/t silver and 30.57 per cent lead-zinc announced in early May. With exploration capital nearly in hand, look for positive news flow over the summer to continue fostering this upward trend and building awareness of Kootenay's major status among junior silver miners. James McDonald, Kootenay Silver's president and CEO, joined Coreena Robertson to comment on Columba's maiden resource estimate. Watch the interview here. Thanks for reading!
