Japan's Finest Hour |
If Japan opened her Mint to gold, she would in fact become the provider of and international currency, the gold yen, at zero seigniorage. Anyone could take gold to the Mint and, free of charge, have it converted into gold yen coinage. The world would be a different place after Japan has resurrected free coinage. Zero seigniorage would guarantee the success of the operation. The trading nations of the world would now have a real choice: they could finance their trade with others either through an international currency available at 100% seigniorage, or throughSunday, August 30, 2020 |

How Is Gold Produced |
PRECIOUS METAL SERIES - 7 The days when miners could dig or pan for nuggets of gold are largely gone. Today, gold is generally extracted from the Earth's crust as microscopic particles. Estimates put the amount of gold in the Earth's crust at just 11 parts per billion!To recover a single ounce of gold, many tonnes of material must therefore be blasted and processed. Gold mines sell unrefined gold in the form of doré bars. Australian doré bars are usually composed of between 70-80% gold and 10-1Friday, July 3, 2020 |

The high was 145 in February 2014, which compares to the high of 238 in September 2003.

Silver as a Strategic Metal and Why Prices Will Soar |
The arguments in favor of silver as an investment asset are growing rapidly. In the opinion of the Jackass, silver is the most under-valued hard asset in existence, with the highest potential for price appreciation on the globe. To begin with, central banks own no silver, but do own huge tracts of gold. Industry has huge demand for silver, but a trifling amount for gold demand. The investment demand is another key factor in favor of silver, but also for gold. Ever since the tech telecom bust in Sunday, January 21, 2018 |

Antarctic Volcano Warning: Ash Could ‘Encircle The Globe’ Causing Worldwide Health Problems |
Scientists are sounding the alarm about a volcano eruption in Antartica that could cause global health problems. The ash from this eruption could encircle the globe, affecting millions of people.
Deception Island, off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, is a hotbed of volcanic activity with at least 50 craters spread across the region. A recent study done in the area by scientists has found evidence that an eruption on the island could disrupt air traffic on continents in the Southern HemispheMonday, December 4, 2017 |

The True Meaning of Bitcoin's 'Success' |
In the year 301 AD, the Roman unit of barter was the denarius, which had originally been 95% pure silver when introduced by Augustus at the end of the first century BC but by the time of Diocletian's rule, it had moved to 50,000 denarii to a pound of gold. Ten year later, it took 120,000 denarii to buy a pound of gold and by 337, that figure was 20,000,000. What had occurred in a mere 400 years was that a slow and agonizing erosion in the purchasing power of the Roman currency accelerated to fulFriday, December 1, 2017 |

Gold Miners’ Q3’17 Preview |
With
the third quarter’s earnings season now underway, the gold miners
will soon join in and report their latest results. No data is more
highly anticipated by investors, for good reason. Quarterly reports
dispel the dense fogs of herd sentiment that usually obscure gold
stocks, revealing their operations’ underlying fundamental
realities. Q3’17’s upcoming results are likely to prove quite
bullish for this neglected sector.

TOTAL WORLD GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION: Fact vs Conspiracy |
By Steve St. AngeloUnfortunately for precious metals investors, there continues to be a great deal of misinformation about how much gold there is in the world. The biggest culprit that confuses precious metals investors is what I call, LOUSY CONSPIRACIES. Those who promote these unsound conspiracies aren’t able to differentiate between FACTS and FICTION.This will be a short post, but it is important as it will lay some ground work for articles to come out over the next several weeks in compariTuesday, August 22, 2017 |

The world is edging closer to the final moments after which everything will be forever changed. Grand delusions, perpetuated over decades, will finally hit the limits of reality and collapse in on themselves.

Physical Precious Metal Portfolio Swaps-Everyone Has Their Own Reasons |
Two weeks ago, I made the rare, bold step of proclaiming this the “most Precious Metal bullish I have ever been.” The reason being, that never before had so many “PiMBEEB,” or Precious Metal bullish, everything-else-bearish, factors been present and/or imminent – politically, economically, and monetarily.

How much gold is in the London vaults |
Buyers and sellers of precious metals welcome greater transparency.
The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the London Precious Metals Clearing Limited (LPMCL) have just begun releasing data on gold and silver inventories in London vaults.
Until last week no one knew exactly how much precious metal was stored in the British capital’s vaults.
The vaulting statistics, which are released on a three month lagged basis, will be enhanced by more detailed trade reporting at an as yet unspMonday, August 7, 2017 |

The Death of Abenomics; the Rise of Interest Rates |
Job approval numbers for Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are in freefall. Abe's support has now fallen below 30%, and his Liberal Democratic Party recently suffered heavy losses stemming from a slew of scandals revolving around illegal subsidies received by a close associate of his wife. But as we have seen back on this side of the hemisphere, the public’s interest in these political scandals can be easily overlooked if the underlying economic conditions are favorable.

This Feels Like the Action in 2008 Right Before the Collapse - Dave Kranzler |

The
