Did you miss the first day of this year’s Vancouver Resource Investment Conference? Here are some highlights.
The first day of the 2017 Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) was a busy one. There was no shortage of industry experts and company CEOs to talk to, and of course there were plenty of presentations and panels to take in as well.
Here’s an overview of some of the day’s highlights. Be sure to follow @INN_Resource for on-the-go updates.
One of the first presentations of the day was by Frank Holmes, who talked about gold dynamics. Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors, said that, historically, the gold price has been driven by low interest rates:
