The Great Rotation: Why Capital is Chasing Hard Assets

Issued on behalf of Americore Resources Corp.

VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary — Global capital is aggressively pivoting to physical commodities, with 47 different assets hitting multi-year highs, in a move analysts are calling a structural reset rather than just a temporary spike[1]. This puts the spotlight squarely on silver, which is entering its fifth straight year of deficit[2]. With industrial demand draining stockpiles faster than mines can replenish them, a rare window is opening for companies holding strategic inventory. This "scarcity premium" positions Americore Resources Corp. (TSXV: AMCO) (OTCQB: AMCOF), Lithium Chile (TSXV: LITH) (OTCPK: LTMCF), MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX) (OTCID: MAXXF), Air Products (NYSE: APD), and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A, BRK-B) at the center of an accelerating hard asset cycle.

Energy, materials, and industrial gas producers are capturing the bulk of 2026 capital flows[3] as big portfolios hunt for tangible value to hedge against sticky inflation. It’s no longer just about potential; new federal mandates to lock down critical supply chains[4] mean the market is paying up for proven reserves and processing capacity right now. In this environment, holding the physical goods beats promising to find them later.

Americore Resources Corp. (TSXV: AMCO) (OTCQB: AMCOF) is advancing a strategic initiative at its Trinity Silver Project in Nevada that could unlock near-term cash flow in today's ~$100 silver market. The company announced it is evaluating options to monetize historic surface stockpiles that potentially contain approximately 400,000 ounces of silver in oxide material and 365,000 ounces in sulphide material, material that is already mined and sitting at surface without the typical delays associated with starting new mining operations.

The timing matters because silver prices have surged past $100 per ounce, making previously marginal stockpiles economically interesting. Americore is reviewing two processing pathways: off-site toll processing that could enable rapid monetization with limited capital requirements, or construction of an on-site pilot plant offering greater control over recoveries and long-term scalability. The company plans reverse circulation drilling, backhoe trenching, and metallurgical testing to confirm grades and optimize processing methods, with results expected to guide processing decisions and economic evaluations.

"Evaluating the monetization of historic stockpiles is a highly strategic move," stated Jeff Poloni, CEO of Americore. "It provides potential near-term value, delivers critical metallurgical insights, and helps accelerate Trinity toward a PEA."

The Trinity Project sits in Pershing County, Nevada, just 23 miles from Lovelock, in an area with established infrastructure and proven silver production history. Between 1987 and 1988, U.S. Borax mined over one million tons from the historic Trinity pit and produced approximately five million ounces of silver through heap-leach operations, proving the district can generate real metal.

Americore has been aggressively expanding its land position over the past several months, which matters because controlling more prospective ground means more potential ounces. The company now controls approximately 22,700 acres through direct staking and a strategic option agreement with Primus Resources for claims that returned grab samples as high as 1,690 grams per tonne silver. This expansion means the company now controls all ground covered by a 2012 historic resource estimate that tripled the resource base to 36 million ounces of silver equivalent.

The company recently completed a drone magnetometer survey covering 312 line kilometers to map structural trends, with results expected to support upcoming drill targeting. Near-term exploration plans include drilling 5 to 10 core holes twinning historic drillholes to verify data and provide fresh material for metallurgical testing, followed by step-out drilling toward a new mineral resource estimate targeted for Q2 2026.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

Lithium Chile (TSXV: LITH) (OTCPK: LTMCF) has provided a transaction update on the sale of its Arizaro project to China Union Holdings for US$175 million, confirming receipt of the US$5 million deposit in escrow within the stipulated timeframe. The company has scheduled an Annual General and Special Shareholder Meeting for May 15, 2026, to seek approval for the transaction alongside an independent fairness opinion.

Lithium Chile is evaluating a potential Substantial Issuer Bid to distribute a portion of net proceeds to shareholders through share redemption at a specified price, which would meaningfully reduce outstanding common shares while retaining sufficient capital to advance its Chilean mineral portfolio. The project team continues maintaining the Arizaro asset throughout the transaction process in accordance with applicable regulations, while Lithium Chile and China Union Holdings remain aligned on expediting closing as regulatory approval processes advance. Management and the Board believe Lithium Chile's shares have recently traded at levels representing a discount to net asset value.

MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX) (OTCID: MAXXF) has identified a second natural hydrogen drilling target called Bracken on its Grasslands Project along the Saskatchewan-Montana border, with licensing underway for February drilling. The Bracken well is located 325 kilometers southwest of Canada's first natural hydrogen drilling discovery at Lawson and will test a different play concept with unique trap and seal mechanisms.

"We continue to move at a rapid pace with respect to Natural Hydrogen exploration and development in Saskatchewan where we have the advantage of a mature and favorable policy framework," said Ran Narayanasamy, CEO of MAX Power Mining. "This also highlights the stark timeline difference between exploration and potential commercialization of Natural Hydrogen vs. traditional mineral and metal projects. This is months to molecules, not years."

Bracken represents an important step in demonstrating basin-scale continuity as MAX Power Mining advances Lawson toward potential commerciality. The company holds Canada's largest permitted land package for natural hydrogen with approximately 1.3 million acres across Saskatchewan, positioning it to rapidly advance multiple targets using its proprietary MAXX LEMI artificial intelligence platform.

Air Products (NYSE: APD) has been awarded supply contracts from NASA totaling more than $140 million to provide liquid hydrogen for several facilities including the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The company will supply about 36.5 million pounds of liquid hydrogen to support operations at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Marshall Space Flight Center, and Stennis Space Center.

"From the inception of the United States space program, Air Products has supported NASA's mission by supplying the critical industrial gases needed from the initial Apollo 11 moon landing to the upcoming Artemis II moon mission," said Francesco Maione, President, Americas of Air Products. "For decades, Air Products has consistently demonstrated our ability to supply world-scale levels of liquid hydrogen and other industrial gases safely and reliably through our robust supply chain."

The company's relationship with NASA began in 1957 and has included supporting the Apollo program, Space Shuttle missions, and current Orion spacecraft development. Air Products recently completed the first fill of the world's largest hydrogen sphere at the Kennedy Space Center, delivering over 730,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen.

Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A, BRK-B) has completed the acquisition of OxyChem from Occidental for $9.7 billion, subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments. OxyChem is a leading producer of essential chemistry with operations in the U.S., Canada and Latin America, and is a top three U.S. manufacturer of polyvinyl chloride, chlor-alkali and chlorinated organic chemicals, and calcium chloride.

OxyChem's products play an essential role in everyday life, supporting critical applications in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, personal hygiene, and residential and commercial construction. OxyChem will continue to be managed by Wade Alleman, OxyChem president and CEO, and remains headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
