The first quarter of 2015 brought more of the same for the mining industry. Still, prices perked up slightly for a few metals, and there was some good news to be had over the first three months of the year. Here’s a look at some of our top articles and videos from the first quarter.
The first quarter of 2015 appears to have brought more of the same for the mining industry.
While the gold price has managed to perk up somewhat and copper has crept slightly higher in recent weeks, other commodities haven’t been so lucky. The iron ore price continues to hit new lows, and coal isn’t faring too well either.
Still, there was a bit of good news to be had over the first three months of the year. Here’s a look at some of our top articles and videos from that time period.

2. Ross Beaty: ‘This is the Kind of Time to be Buying Metal Stocks’
Also at VRIC, Resource Investing News had the chance to speak with mining legend Ross Beaty, chairman of Pan American Silver (TSX:PAA) and Alterra Power (TSX:AXY). Beaty spoke about a range of topics, including his interest in Odin Mining (TSXV:ODN) in Ecuador and his outlook on various commodities. Although he was still fairly bearish on most metals, he was more positive on what the current state of the market could mean for investors. “You want to be buying when no one else is buying,” he said, adding, “this is the kind of time to be buying metal stocks.” Click here to watch the full video interview.
