$1,800 Gold in 2011 vs. $1,800 Gold in 2023, Why Copper is Interesting + Margin is King with Brent Cook, Founder of Exploration Insights

For today’s show, I invited on Brent Cook, Founder of Exploration Insights. The first conferences I went to in my career was going to junior mining conferences back in 2011 - I think I went to 3 or 4. Sentiment was extremely high, gold crossed the $1,800/oz threshold and every newsletter writer and gold bug espoused that $5,000/oz was not out of the question by the end of 2012. Sounds eerily familiar, eh? In any case, resources markets have had a rocky 10+ years - some ups and downs mostly driven by hype, i.e., materials needed for EV markets, ESG issues in mining, etc... And, here we are in 2023, and the price of gold has stayed above $1,800/oz to start the year. Brent is a frequent guest that I turn to when I have questions about the mining industry, especially right now, where there seems to be some real tailwinds lifting the industry right now (which we discuss in our chat). Brent will also be sharing his thoughts live on a panel at our conference, the Planet MicroCap Showcase on April 25-27, 2023, so if you like what you hear today, be sure to join in Vegas to meet him in person.
