Gold or silver? Which mining CEO took home the top prize? Brent Cook announces winner

Brent Cook of Exploration Insights announces Kitco's mining CEO of the Year award recipients and reviews what he sees as a positive year for mining and the metals.

Cook told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference the silver bugs are even more supportive of the space than their gold peers.

“Silver attracts a very rabid crowd as opposed to gold, and silver bugs are much more passionate. We’ve seen silver start to move. Everything I see says that gold is set to do well,” he said. “This is going to be a good year.”
