Kai Hoffman, CEO of Soar Financial Group, joins us to share his thoughts on the muted interest and recent pullback in the precious metals sector, and overviews for listeners the highlights of the upcoming mining conference in Germany. We start off with a look at the financial health of the industry as tracked by the Oreninc Index that Kai and his team facilitate. With the financing window closing for companies, over the course of 2022 and specifically over the last 2 months, companies that are cashed up for the work programs are in better shape than those that will need to raise capital in the near future. The discussion also gets into the tough positions company executives are in trying to strike the balance between moving the company forward, putting out news to investors, but also conserving capital at a time where most news is being shrugged off out of disinterest or simply becomes a liquidity event.
Next we ask Kai about the themes and presenters at the upcoming 4th German Gold Fair mining conference later this month on May 27th -28th in Frankfurt, Germany. He has a hunch the talking points will have shifted from concerns about inflation, prevalent at last year’s show, to now looking forward at the market conditions to a potential recession on the horizon.
