Kitco News is thrilled to announce that Jeremy Szafron has joined our team as an anchor and producer, broadcasting from our Vancouver bureau. Jeremy brings a wealth of experience in journalism, having covered a range of topics from entertainment to finance and current affairs.
Jeremy launched his career in 2006 at CTV, Canada’s leading broadcasting network. He initially captivated audiences as an entertainment reporter before transitioning to business journalism, where he honed in on mining and small-cap companies. His insightful analyses of macro-financial trends and market developments made him a sought-after expert, frequently appearing on CTV Morning Live and the CTV News Network.
A significant highlight of Jeremy’s career was his coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, where he showcased the Olympic spirit while hosting segments from various Country Houses.

In 2012, Jeremy embarked on a personal digital media venture, launching The Green Scene Podcast.

Building on this success, he also initiated Investor Scene and Initiate Research, platforms dedicated to providing in-depth market insights and opportunities in the mining sector and Canadian small caps.
Jeremy’s expertise extends beyond journalism; he has served as a market strategist and investor relations consultant for numerous publicly traded companies across sectors such as mining, energy, consumer packaged goods, and technology.
