GATA - Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee
Manchester, Conn.

The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee was organized in January 1999 to advocate and undertake litigation against illegal collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial securities. The committee arose from essays by Bill Murphy, a financial commentator, and by Chris Powell, a newspaper editor in Connecticut, published at Murphy’s Internet site, www.lemetropolecafe.com.

GATA - Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee is not verified as a 501(c)3 organization.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is introducing the Gold Reserve Transparency Act to institute the first audit of the United States government’s gold holdings in over half a century.

The bill would open Fort Knox to an audit of everything held by the Federal Reserve, making the results public to the American people -- a proposal made by Trump in February.

Bullion Star Opens in the U.S., Selling and Vaulting Gold and Silver

Bullion Star is now open in the United States, offering gold and silver bullion at extremely competitive prices with free delivery. Bullion Star also offers customers a year of free vault storage along with free delivery as well as storage in its secure precious metals vault in Dallas, Texas.

Storing precious metals is challenging. Homeowner's insurance seldom covers precious metals, and safe deposit boxes offered by banks are neither insured nor covered by the government deposit insurance. Bullion Star's vault is an independently run, Class III UL-rated vault with uncompromising surveillance and round-the-clock security.

With Bullion Star you can transact and store your metals securely and confidentially. Your bullion is fully insured against all risks at full replacement value. Bullion Star uses five audit methods to verify the existence and correctness of your stored bullion.

"We're actually going to Fort Knox to see if the gold is there, because maybe somebody stole the gold," Trump said. "Tons of gold."

Lee's bill delivers on Trump's promise by instituting a long-needed audit.

"For over half a century, there has not been a comprehensive audit of America's gold reserves," Lee said. "Americans should know whether their literal national treasure is safe and accurately accounted for. That means passing the Gold Reserve Transparency Act, opening Fort Knox, U.S. Mint Facilities, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to an audit, and then making the results public."

Auditing the Fed became a popular battle cry for former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul, who was "delighted" to see Lee's bill introduced. ...

On a seemingly ordinary Monday in November, Japan's 10-year government bond yield touched 1.71%. For most observers, this was a technical footnote buried in the daily market data. For those who understand the intricate plumbing of global finance, it was the sound of the Jenga tower's critical block sliding free.

Buy metals at GoldMoney and enjoy international storage

GoldMoney was established in 2001 by James and Geoff Turk and is safeguarding more than $1.7 billion in metals and currencies.

That 1.71% figure represents the highest yield on Japanese government bonds since June 2008, when Lehman Brothers still existed and the global financial system stood weeks away from systemic collapse. But unlike 2008, when external crisis drove yields higher, this move originates from deliberate policy choices within Japan itself. The implications are far more profound than any single market dislocation.

What happened on November 10 was not merely a bond market adjustment. It was the beginning of the end of a three-decade arrangement that quietly underpinned the entire post-Cold War financial order. Japan, the world's largest net creditor nation with over $3 trillion in net foreign assets, has begun the long process of bringing that capital home. ...

The Bank of Italy sits on the world's third-largest national gold stockpile, behind only the United States and Germany. Its 2,452 metric tons of gold are equivalent to around 13% of national output.

Unlike Britain or Spain, Italy has refused to sell off gold during financial downturns, retaining its reserves even through the 2008 debt crisis. Central banks generally accumulate gold to hedge against adverse scenarios and preserve confidence in the financial system.

Around 1,100 tons of the Bank of Italy's gold are stored in a vault beneath its headquarters at Palazzo Koch in Rome. A similar portion is held in the United States, while smaller amounts are kept in Britain and Switzerland.

Politicians of all parties have called in the past 20 years to clarify ownership of the gold and then sell it to cut Italy's public debt, which totals more than 3 trillion euros ($3.48 trillion) and is predicted by the Italian Treasury to peak at 137.4% of GDP next year. ...

In that post, you were reminded that in late 1979 and early 1980, the silver price moved from $10 to $48 in four months and then fell back to $10 in two months. In 2010 and 2011, the price moved from $18 to $48 in eight months and then fell back to $26 a few months later. 

Is the current attempt to break through $48/ounce any different? 

On the chart below, note that price first reached $48 on October 3 and here we are, more than six weeks later, and price is still trading above $50/ounce. That's a big difference from 1980 and 2011. ...

Gold and silver don't just trade on supply and demand. They trade on control -- the kind powerful institutions use when rising precious metals threaten the stability of the financial system.

Here is a simple look at how that control works: a daily effort in the paper markets to keep precious metals from breaking out,
and what it means when the effort becomes constant.

Activist hedge fund Elliott Management has built a large stake in Barrick Mining, according to people familiar with the matter, after the world's second-largest gold producer struggled to capitalise on a blistering bullion rally.

Elliott's investment comes as the Toronto-based miner has pledged to refocus on its lucrative North American business after the sudden departure of its chief executive Mark Bristow in September, adding to speculation that the company could be planning a break-up or asset sales.

Guanajuato Silver Is Reactivating Silver and Gold Mines in Mexico

Guanajuato Silver is a precious metals producer reactivating past-producing silver and gold mines in central Mexico. The company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mines Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine. All three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has a 480-year mining history.

Additionally, the company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango state. 

With four operating mines and three processing facilities, Guanajuato Silver is one of the fastest growing silver producers in Mexico.

For more information, please visit:

http://www.gsilver.com/


Elliott's stake puts it among Barrick's 10 largest investors, the people said. That would mean the hedge fund's holding is worth at least $700 million (C$1 billion).

As bullion has soared to record highs in recent months, boosting gold miners' valuations, Barrick's share price performance has lagged rivals and the company has faced a series of setbacks, including losing control of a key mine in Mali.

However, the people said Elliott was encouraged by the idea that Barrick could split into two companies, separating its higher-growth North American operations from its mines in riskier regions across Asia and Africa. ...

First Majestic Mines Silver and Gold, 
Mints Its Own Silver Bars, Ingots, Coins, and Medallions,
and Sells Them Online at Low Premiums

First Majestic is a publicly traded mining company focused on silver and gold production in Mexico and the United States. The company owns and operates four producing underground mines in Mexico: the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine (the company holds a 70% interest in the Los Gatos Joint Venture that owns and operates the mine), the Santa Elena Silver and Gold Mine, the San Dimas Silver and Gold Mine, and the La Encantada Silver Mine, as well as a portfolio of development and exploration assets, including the Jerritt Canyon gold project in northeastern Nevada, U.S.A.

In 2025 these mines are projected to produce between 27.8 to 31.2 million silver-equivalent ounces, consisting of 13.6 to 15.3 million ounces of silver and 129,000 to 144,000 ounces of gold, with an all-in sustaining cost of $19.89 to $21.27 per payable silver-equivalent ounce.

For more information about the company, visit:

https://www.firstmajestic.com

In a practice unique to First Majestic, the company is proud to manufacture exceptional silver bullion products from its 100%-owned and operated minting facility, First Mint, offering a portion of its own silver production for sale to the public. Bars, ingots, coins, and medallions are available for purchase online at the company's bullion store at low premiums.

To review First Mint’s full product range, visit:
