There are people overtly scamming investors in the mining sector, and investors need to be educated in order to protect themselves, said Brent Cook of Exploration Insights.
"What you want to watch for is, whoever is telling the story, what's their entry point, how do they make money, be it a broker, newsletter writer, or the company president. Follow the money, if you will. But thereafter, you really need to understand the basic geology and potential of a project to actually work," Cook told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Silver & Gold Summit in San Francisco.
