The mining market is still subdued despite "violent moves" higher by gold, said Kai Hoffmann, the CEO of Soar Financial. On Monday Hoffmann spoke to Kitco Mining. Hoffmann is hosting Deutsche Goldmesse in Frankfurt, a two-day event kicking off May 3 that will showcase 30 resource companies. Some of the keynote speakers will be Brien Lundin, Lobo Tiggre and Jeff Clarke. Hoffmann tracks resource financings through Oreninc. Hoffmann is surprised that mining equities are still subdued after copper has run up 20%, and gold has hit several all-time highs.
