Doug Silver, Canadian Hall of Fame Inductee (L), talks to TNM’s western editor Henry Lazenby.
The quality of disclosures in junior mining – a sector that in the past was rife with shady stock promoters – has improved over the past four decades, says Douglas Silver. However, Silver, a founder of the Denver Gold Forum and expert on mineral economics, warns that some companies still use deceptive tactics to exaggerate their project’s potential.
“Some of the most common errors are people using too many superlatives,” Silver said at the Rule Symposium in Boca Raton, Florida. “These aren’t just innocent errors; they can distort the truth and lead investors down the wrong path.”
