Anthony Milewski has watched commodity markets twist under the weight of wars, trade battles, and supply shocks that most investors never saw coming. The metals driving the modern economy, rare earths, uranium, and copper, were hiding in plain sight, misunderstood and underreported. The Oregon Group is his answer to that problem: a platform that cuts through the noise, tells the full story, and hands it to readers at no cost.
Where Intelligence Meets the Market
Most people never think about cobalt until their phone battery dies, or about uranium until energy prices make headlines. That gap between commodity reality and public awareness is exactly the space Milewski has moved into. Through The Oregon Group, he publishes deep analysis on critical minerals, energy markets, and the geopolitical currents that move them, without charging readers a cent.
The platform has grown to over 40,000 subscribers, drawing readers from around the globe, including North America, Europe, and Australia. That growth did not come from advertising gimmicks or viral stunts. It came from substance, the kind of writing that walks an investor through why tungsten prices are climbing, what a regulatory ruling on deep-sea mining means for supply chains, or how a single sanctions announcement out of Washington can redraw the global nickel market in an afternoon.
“We are providing in-depth coverage on commodities and geopolitical developments that are relevant to nearly every person,” Milewski has said of the platform’s mission. Free access sets The Oregon Group apart from incumbents like Bloomberg, which sit behind paywalls that individual investors and independent analysts often cannot afford.
The platform’s editorial scope covers rare earth metals, uranium, copper, nickel, helium, and more. Each piece treats geopolitics not as background noise but as a primary force, one that reshapes supply chains faster than most mining companies can respond.
Geopolitics as a Commodity Story
The war in Ukraine exposed how fragile the European energy supply had become. Chinese tariffs rattled rare earth markets. US sanctions reshaped the nickel trade seemingly overnight. The Oregon Group was tracking these movements before the broader financial press caught up, publishing analysis that gave readers a head start on what was coming.
Milewski’s particular strength is connecting macro events to mineral realities in ways that feel immediate rather than academic. A recent piece traced how Canada’s uranium production surge is turning what was once a North American story into a global one. Another examined the US government’s push to invest $8.6 billion in critical mineral deals since early 2025, a figure that would have seemed improbable just a few years ago, when rare earths barely registered in mainstream policy conversations.
The Oregon Group operates on the conviction that commodity intelligence should not be the preserve of those who can afford institutional subscriptions.
Coverage of rare earth and minor metals has been a particular hallmark of the publication. When the broader market was still treating these materials as niche concerns best left to specialists, The Oregon Group was already running detailed analysis on supply dynamics, Chinese export controls, and the downstream consequences for technology manufacturers who depend on steady access to these inputs.
Building a Platform That Compounds Over Time
The Oregon Group is more than a newsletter. It publishes long-form industry reports on topics ranging from uranium bull markets and copper supply gaps to nickel shortages and the role of artificial intelligence in driving the next critical mineral supercycle. These reports give readers something durable: a framework for understanding what is already happening and what logic suggests will come next.
The platform runs Boom, Bust, and BS, a podcast co-hosted by Milewski and journalist Christian Purefoy. Recent episodes have tackled the mining industry’s response to geopolitical shocks, the promise of deep-sea mining as a potential answer to looming supply crunches, and the startling thesis that the next generation of major technology companies may end up looking far more like commodity traders than software developers. That blend of written analysis, industry reports, and audio content gives The Oregon Group a reach few independent commodity publications can claim.
The launch of The Green Room, as well as a podcast, Greed, Guts, and Glory, marks a new chapter for the business. It connects subscribers with exclusive interviews, ideas, and deals, moving The Oregon Group from pure analysis into active deal flow. For Milewski, the step follows naturally from a platform that has always been about giving readers an edge before the mainstream catches on.
What Milewski has built reflects something larger shifting across financial media. Individual investors are increasingly unwilling to rely on mainstream outlets for commodity coverage. They want analysis that is specific, timely, and honest about complexity, coverage that does not flatten the story into uselessness. Rare earth supply chains are not simple. Uranium markets carry decades of political baggage. The geopolitics of helium, tungsten, and deep-sea nodules requires a guide willing to go deep.
The Oregon Group’s more than 40,000 subscribers suggest that Milewski has found that audience, and that they had been searching for exactly this. The commodity battles of the coming decades will not be fought only in mines and refineries. They will be fought in the space between information and ignorance, and the investors who close that gap earliest will carry the advantage. Milewski understood that before most. The Oregon Group exists because he did something about it, and the world, it turns out, was ready to listen.
