These TSX-listed mining stocks currently offer a potential for capital gains, as well as a steady stream of income through dividend payouts
SmallCapPower | May 11, 2016: In large part, the commodities market is said to have troughed this year. We have already seen gold prices surge nearly 20% YTD, with additional gains forecasted by analysts as the USD continues to fall. Investors, then, who are planning for a steady stream of income may want to incorporate some dividend-paying resource stocks into their portfolios. Even if the recovery takes longer than anticipated, investors can get paid to wait – never a bad thing. Today we have identified three resource-related stocks that currently have superior dividend yields.
