It’s a big mining week and who better to have on Kitco News then famed geologist Brent Cook. He knows the industry inside-out and breaks down the ‘shining’ stars in mining this quarter on this edition of “Kitco News.” Cook says that he doesn’t expect to see much change in the mining sector over the next year or two. He also comments on Newmont and Centerra’s earning results and how he sees the majors set up for the coming quarter.
