Keyera Announces Sanctioning of KAPS Zone 4 and Provides Other Commercial Updates
CALGARY, AB, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Keyera Corp. (TSX: KEY) ("Keyera") announced today the formal sanctioning of KAPS Zone 4, a strategic extension of its integrated system. This expansion strengthens Keyera's connectivity to the growing liquids-rich Montney regions of northeast British Columbia and northwest Alberta, some of the most active and resource-rich areas in North America.
"The sanctioning of KAPS Zone 4 marks another important milestone in the execution of our strategy to grow and extend our value chain," said Dean Setoguchi, President and CEO. "This project reflects strong customer demand for our fully integrated service offerings and our ability to connect to valuable end-markets. By enhancing connectivity and optionality, Zone 4 strengthens our competitive position and delivers greater value to our customers."
KAPS Zone 4 is an 85-kilometre extension of the existing KAPS pipeline, connecting Pipestone to Gordondale, Alberta. It will connect to NorthRiver Midstream's Northeast BC Connector project. Together, these systems offer Montney producers a fully integrated and cost-effective route from northeast British Columbia to Fort Saskatchewan area fractionation and Keyera's industry-leading condensate hub. The capital cost of KAPS Zone 4 is expected to be $220 million (net to Keyera), which includes investments in additional pumping capacity on KAPS Zones 1 to 3. The project is targeted to enter service in mid-2027.
The project is backed by long-term transportation agreements with several investment-grade Montney producers, averaging 11 years in duration and 75% take-or-pay commitments. The agreements include downstream services such as fractionation, storage, transportation, and marketing, further demonstrating the value of Keyera's integrated offering.
Keyera has secured over 75,000 barrels per day of new contracted volumes across KAPS Zones 1 through 4 in recent months, with substantially all volumes also committed to incremental downstream services.
Keyera's current and future fractionation capacity, which includes the Fort Saskatchewan Fractionation Unit II debottleneck and the Fort Saskatchewan Fractionation Unit III expansion project, is now substantially fully contracted, supporting strong utilization and returns across the system.
Investments in Zone 4 and fractionation expansions directly contribute to the growth of Keyera's long-term, fee-for-service cash flows, supporting continued sustainable dividend growth.
In response to growing volumes across Keyera's integrated system, Keyera has entered into an agreement with AltaGas to export an additional 12,500 barrels per day of natural gas liquids via AltaGas' west coast export facilities starting in 2028. This builds on the 12,500 barrels per day announced earlier this year. The agreement will further strengthen Keyera's ability to offer its customers more diversified market access for LPGs, including premium Asian markets, while providing AltaGas with long-term ratable export volumes and cash flows.

Almonty Industries: The new Pillar of Western Raw Material Security
The Western world is facing a raw material crisis with explosive geopolitical implications. In recent months, China has drastically tightened its export controls on critical minerals, affecting primarily strategically important metals such as gallium, germanium, antimony, and, most recently, tungsten. These raw materials are indispensable for the defense industry, semiconductor production, and high-tech manufacturing. Amid this tense situation, one company that is positioning itself as an important part of the solution is stepping into the spotlight: Almonty Industries (TSX: AII). The tungsten specialist operates strategically located tungsten projects in South Korea, Portugal, and Spain and will soon play a key role in supplying Western industries, as global tungsten supplies are expected to run critically low in the near future. Almonty as a countermodel to Chinese dependency Since mid-2023, China has gradually tightened its control over the export of critical raw materials. Gallium and germanium, essential for the semiconductor and solar industries, have been subject to strict export restrictions since August 2023. Antimony, a metal used in ammunition, batteries, and military equipment, followed in 2024. Particularly controversial is the increasingly restrictive handling of exports of so-called dual-use materials – substances with both civilian and military applications. Tungsten, an extremely hard and dense metal used in missile tips, armor plating, microchips, and cutting tools, also falls under these regulations. The consequences are already becoming apparent: According to Martin Hotwagner of Steel & Metals Market Research in Austria, every vehicle contains an average of around 300 grams of tungsten – most of which is lost during recycling. The result: declining reserves, rising prices, and increasing pressure to act in the US, Europe, and Japan. As supplies dwindle, he expects Western companies will run out of tungsten by the end of the summer. Western governments are urgently looking for alternatives – and in doing so, they are turning their attention to Almonty Industries. The strategic rise of Almonty Industries In recent years, Almonty (TSX: AII) has systematically positioned itself as a non-Chinese supplier of tungsten and, in the future, molybdenum. With the Sangdong mine in South Korea set to start production soon, the Company is in a unique position: once operational, Sangdong will be one of the largest sources of tungsten outside China and will be able to cover up to 40% of non-Chinese global production. The mine has a life span of over 90 years, and the rock has an exceptionally high tungsten content. The geopolitical relevance has not gone unnoticed: the US, which classifies tungsten as critical to national security, has already recognized Almonty as a strategic partner. The Company has signed exclusive purchase agreements with US defense contractors, including price floors guaranteeing a long-term economic basis. At the same time, Almonty is planning a NASDAQ listing and relocating its headquarters to the US in order to be more closely connected both politically and in terms of regulation. In recent weeks, two US military representatives, General Gustave Perna and Alan Estevez, have joined Almonty's board of directors. Conclusion: From mine operator to guarantor of Western supply security At a time when China is deliberately using its economic power as a political lever, independent sources of raw materials are becoming increasingly important. Almonty Industries (TSX: AII) not only meets this requirement but also offers a stable foundation for Western industrial policy thanks to its geographical diversification, operational experience, and political connections. The beginning of the restructuring of global supply chains is no longer theory – it is reality. And right at the heart of it: a tungsten producer that is in the right place at precisely the right time. The planned NASDAQ listing will open access to the world's largest capital market and should significantly increase demand for Almonty shares. Peter Thilo Hasler, an analyst at Sphene Capital, has issued a 'Buy' recommendation for Almonty with a price target of CAD 5.40.

Print money now! Gold over 3400, silver already at 36 – Barrick, Globex Mining, First Majestic, D-Wave, and Hensoldt
Debt and inflation are causing yields to rise, and now gold and silver are also booming! In addition to defense and high-tech stocks, investors have finally taken a liking to precious metals. Commodity investors have had to wait a long time for this moment, but now prices are rising rapidly. Investors should add stocks like the long-overlooked Barrick Mining and First Majestic Silver to their portfolios, while Globex Mining (TSX:GMX) is an outright buy. The Company holds over 250 properties, which are currently increasing in value daily. On the other hand, the high-tech stock D-Wave and the defense stock Hensoldt have already advanced excessively. We can help with portfolio rebalancing. First Majestic and Barrick Gold – The only way is up! Barrick Gold recently changed its name to Barrick Mining. This change reflects the Company's increasing focus on copper, which currently accounts for 20% of production and is expected to rise to 30% by 2029. The Reko Diq copper-gold project in Pakistan will contribute significantly to this and is scheduled to go into production in 2028. In Q1 2025, Barrick achieved net income of USD 474 million, or USD 0.27 per share, a significant increase from USD 295 million in the previous year. Gold production fell to 758,000 ounces, and copper production declined to 44,000 tons. Despite these declines, the Company benefited from higher gold and copper prices, and margins improved significantly. Barrick reaffirmed its production targets for 2025 and is focusing on growth through its projects in Pakistan and Zambia. CEO Mark Bristow recently emphasized the need for sustainable solutions in mining and expressed optimism about the Company's future development. With an annual performance of only 11%, analysts on the LSEG platform see room for growth from the current level of around CAD 27 to CAD 37. Silver is increasingly becoming the focus of investors, alongside gold. Unlike the yellow metal, silver is also widely used in the high-tech, defense, medical, and industrial sectors. Global availability has been declining for years as producing mines are reaching the end of their life, and new projects still need some time to bring exploration material to market. Shares in silver producer First Majestic have seen a significant surge of over 15% since May. In the first quarter, with silver prices well above USD 30, the Company reported record operating cash flow of USD 110 million. This brought cash and cash equivalents to USD 462 million, the highest level in the Company's 21-year history. A total of 7.7 million ounces of silver equivalent were produced in Q1, which is approximately 26% of the Company's average production forecast for 2025. The Company achieved record mining revenue of USD 63.8 million, with EBITDA of USD 98.8 million. Consolidated cash costs amounted to USD 13.68 per ounce of silver equivalent, representing a 9% decrease compared to Q1 2024. They are also 6% below the Company's average cost forecast for 2025. The share buyback program will continue, which could further boost the share price. The time is ripe! Globex Mining – In pole position with over 250 projects CEO Jack Stoch views the developments in the precious metals sector with calm confidence. He founded his first mining company back in the 1970s when the price of gold was still between USD 50 and USD 200. With gold trading at over USD 3,300 an ounce, the setup for his asset management holding company-like collection of properties looks excellent. According to experts, stock market valuations are likely to rise sharply in the near future, especially for projects that still have their resources in the ground, as producers are faced with significantly higher transaction costs when acquiring junior companies. Because too little exploration has been done in recent years, there is now considerable pressure to move promising projects forward. For Globex Mining (TSX:GMX), this is a stroke of luck: the Company owns over 250 mineral concessions in Canada, mainly focused on gold and metal projects in Quebec. The deposits are at various stages of development, and some are linked to partnerships through option and royalty models. This leads to a constant deal flow within the portfolio and ensures regular cash inflows. There is currently an update on partner Azimut Exploration. The explorer has released further positive test results from the Perseus nickel zone discovered in 2024, which is located southeast of Globex's Tyrone property in the Eeyou Istchee region of James Bay. There, 30 selected high-grade nickel samples contained more than 3.0% nickel, including the full suite of platinum group elements with grades of 1.16 g/t rhodium, 0.43 g/t iridium, 2.75 g/t ruthenium, and 0.45 g/t osmium, significantly enhancing the potential value of the Perseus zone. The gold and tellurium grades are also anomalous, with grades of up to 1.13 g/t gold and 32.1 g/t tellurium, respectively. The high-grade mineralization is associated with a magnetic anomaly that extends from Globex's Tyrone property into an area that has not yet been fully explored. Progress here will be exciting! Once again, Globex proves that its strategy is on the right track, and positive news is likely to become more frequent in the near future. GMX shares are currently trading at around CAD 1.42, with 56.294 million shares outstanding, giving the Company a market capitalization of CAD 79.3 million. The exciting part remains: around 30% of this valuation is backed by cash and shares from partner companies. Mergers and acquisitions could really get the party started! In May, CEO Jack Stoch presented at the International Investment Forum. Click here for the video recording with lots of updates on the properties. D-Wave Quantum and Hensoldt – Take profits! We will briefly discuss two companies that have performed excellently. First, there is quantum computer expert D-Wave, which has been causing a stir on the NASDAQ with a spectacular 1,000% increase since 2024. This is based on reports that the latest generation of quantum computers significantly outperforms current technologies both in terms of speed and power consumption. The Company only generated a few million in revenue in 2024 and is now reportedly experiencing a flood of orders. However, analysts are finding it difficult to formulate adequate price targets, as the sky is not yet the limit for this year. With a valuation of over USD 5 billion, the price-to-sales ratio is currently still above 200. The share price is, therefore, likely to remain very volatile. The market value of Hensoldt shares is now similarly ambitious. Here, too, investors are expecting a flood of orders from NATO countries. The revenue of EUR 2.24 billion reported in 2024 is expected to grow to over EUR 5 billion by 2029. The stock is already valued at a price-to-sales ratio of 6. And according to the LSEG platform, the 2026 P/E ratio is a whopping 44. JPMorgan published an update last week and set the 12-month price target at EUR 110. The already overbought share price promptly shot up by another 20% to EUR 108.80. It was not until Friday that the value fell back below the EUR 100 mark. Caution: profit-taking could still increase significantly! Selection has become key in the capital markets. While US President Trump continues to subject his country to one reputational blow after another, yields on US bonds are skyrocketing. Notably, China has announced plans to exchange long-term US bonds for gold. This is increasing buying pressure in the markets for precious metal producers like Barrick and First Majestic, as well as for the junior Globex Mining, which is still significantly undervalued due to its estimated millions of ounces still in the ground. Caution is advised with overvalued stocks like D-Wave Quantum and Hensoldt! Conflict of interest Pursuant to §85 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), we point out that Apaton Finance GmbH as well as partners, authors or employees of Apaton Finance GmbH (hereinafter referred to as 'Relevant Persons') currently hold or hold shares or other financial instruments of the aforementioned companies and speculate on their price developments. In this respect, they intend to sell or acquire shares or other financial instruments of the companies (hereinafter each referred to as a 'Transaction').
