PAAS
PAAS is flagged as a potential beneficiary of the USGS 2025 List of Critical Minerals, which added silver and other commodities. Policy and supply-chain focus on newly listed minerals can be a medium-term positive for producers and developers tied to those materials.
Recent proof-backed thesis calls
One active recommendation: a buy stance driven by the USGS/Interior publication of the final 2025 List of Critical Minerals, which added silver among 10 new minerals. The research view treats this as a medium-term sentiment and policy tailwind for producers of newly listed commodities.
USGS/Interior published the final 2025 List of Critical Minerals (60 minerals) and added 10 new minerals (boron, copper, lead, metallurgical coal, phosphate, potash, rhenium, silicon, silver, uranium) citing supply-chain disruption risk, import dependence, and importance to U.S. economy/national security. This is a policy/supply-chain signal that can support longer-horizon demand/security narratives for U.S.-aligned producers and developers in the newly added commodities.
Current stance
Current recommendation: buy. Rationale: the USGS expansion of the Critical Minerals List is a medium-term sentiment/policy tailwind for newly added commodity producers, including silver.
- Beneficiary via USGS expansion of the Critical Minerals List is a medium-term sentiment/policy tailwind for newly added commodity producers (copper, uranium, fertilizers, met coal, silver). from https://www.usgs.gov (confidence 0.43)
