Benjamin provides a review of the optimistic tone from this year’s Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, covering the buzz experienced at the Oreninc booth, as well as the high level of activity on the floor. Retail investors, company executives, and service providers were abundant, but the number of bankers was lacking. Benjamin cautions that, although many were enthusiastic, there was not a lot of real money at the show and that the real bellwether for the recovery will be the PDAC conference in Toronto this coming March.
