Ross Beaty: Ignore the noise — gold is being driven by much bigger forces

As gold holds near historic highs and silver remains elevated after a dramatic run, veteran mining entrepreneur Ross Beaty believes investors are focusing on the wrong drivers.

The Equinox Gold chair argues that weakening confidence in the US dollar and growing concerns over government debt are playing a bigger role in metals markets than geopolitical headlines.

In this interview with MINING.COM, Beaty discusses gold, silver, copper, the proposed Orla merger and why long-term investors should ignore market noise and focus on fundamentals.
