In the Money, Released on 8/12/25

Ross Beaty has been building mining companies for 50 years. From Pan American Silver to Equinox Gold, his name is synonymous with the Canadian resource sector. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar the legendary mining entrepreneur explains why gold’s surge past $3,300 may have plenty of room left. He breaks down how central banks, geopolitical chaos, and a growing distrust of the U.S. dollar are driving demand—and why tight supply could keep prices elevated. Amber and Ross discuss the underperformance of gold stocks vs bullion as well as the internal missteps and operational challenges that stalled Equinox Gold’s momentum. Beaty owns those missteps and lays out how the company is positioning for a rebound. Beaty weighs in on Trump-era tariffs, M&A in the mining sector, and misguided critical mineral policy in Canada. Plus, he shares how Chinese mining firms are scooping up assets while Western investors remain gun-shy. Beaty also explains why he believes Bitcoin isn’t a real threat to gold’s dominance. To end the interview, Ross shares the best and worst deals of his career, the Canadian mining leaders he admires, and why gold, silver, and copper still top his list. A must-watch for anyone investing in commodities, macro trends, or Canadian markets.
