| Gold's Plunge Ultimately Healthy for the Sector: Michael Gray |
| The Gold Report: On April 15, gold dropped to a two-year low as panic selling set in across many mine commodities. Was this the larger players showing the retail market who is in control or was it inevitable?
Michael Gray: Several firms have been predicting a mid-cycle correction for gold; it just happened faster and with more volatility than expected. It also seems to be a very well-timed short-selling trade, especially on the back of the positive gold price correlation with quantitative easinTuesday, April 30, 2013 |

| 20 Million—Why Is this Number Critical for Copper? |
| The Metals Report: Joachim, is the smart money finding its way into mining equities?Joachim Berlenbach: At the moment, no. When we talk with investors, we hear a lot about risk relative to commodities and commodity equities. But I hope investment grows because the commodity cycle is far from over. There are two important benchmark numbers to consider. In 2012, for the first time, the world used more than 20 million tons (20 Mt) copper. Second, the world now needs more than 90 million barrels (90Friday, March 22, 2013 |

GOLD BEARS BEWARE  |
| Gold bears have been a gleeful group of late, pointing to the recent decline in gold exchange-traded fund holdings as evidence of investor disinterest in the yellow metal. Gold bears also see the market’s rather lackluster performance over the past year and a half - and the failure of prices to move higher - as further evidence the decade-long bull market has run its course.
Yes, gold has retreated some 20 percent from its September 2011 all-time high (near $1,924 an ounce) to its subsequent loWednesday, March 20, 2013 |

"Bloomberg" Gold Report on central bank gold Misses the Mark  |
| We read political and economic news reports like any investors does, but we also look for source data ourselves on important subjects. It's fine to let reporters gather information for us, but what we do with that information, and what happens if we trust it blindly, is our own responsibility. There are risks.A case in point is the recent Bloomberg report that Russia has become the world's biggest gold buyer. That may be true according to current official numbers, but official numberTuesday, February 19, 2013 |

| Currency "War" or "Revolution" And Gold? |
| Talk of a Currency War is becoming much more frequent these days. What?s meant by this is that the competitive devaluations of currencies, which has gone on for such a long time ?many years in fact?is going to become destructive to real currency values! This brings into question the entire system of exchange rates. Now we have the assurance that the euro will not be ?managed? down to gain a competitive advantage. Let?s watch the rate to see if this is true? Actions speak louder than words, especFriday, February 15, 2013 |

| Chen Lin Places His Bets on Self-Financing Producers |
| The Gold Report: We are already into February and the gold market doesn't seem to want to do what most people have been predicting. Why has it been acting so poorly over the past few months?
Chen Lin: That's a good question. Nothing goes up in a straight line and 2013 could be a difficult year for gold. Recently Goldman Sachs predicted that gold will peak this year and then go down to $1,200/ounce (oz) in a few years. That could shake a lot of weak hands, so I won't be surprised to see some selTuesday, February 05, 2013 |
