'Silver has always been my first love,' says billionaire Thomas Kaplan in Kitco Exclusive

from Kitco NEWS Interviews · host Thomas Kaplan, Neils Christensen

For the first time in 20 years, Thomas Kaplan, CEO of Electrum Group, has launched a new public silver producer. In an exclusive interview with Kitco News, Kaplan talks about his silver and gold projects and his outlook for the precious metals. In November, The Electrum Group went public with Gatos Silver (NYSE: GATO, TSX: GATO), which raised $170 million in its IPO. It was also one of the first precious metals companies listed directly on the New York Stock Exchange. Looking at commodity prices, Kaplan said that gold and silver are just at the start of a significant bull market. "Once silver stabilizes and gold is going up as some monetary metals, silver then starts to follow gold and then it gets octane and it surpasses gold," he said. "That's what happened during the financial crisis and we are starting to see that again."
