| The 5 Largest Gold Nuggets that Still Exist |
| Throughout gold rush and gold mining history, the discovery of a large gold nugget is a phenomenon which always causes excitement throughout a mining community as well as capturing the wider public's imagination.

| Stock to Flow Ratio - A Primer |
| The importance of gold's stock to flow ratio is greatly
underestimated. I first came across the concept in 2009 at a lecture by
Professor Antal E. Fekete in Szombathely, Hungary. It fascinated me and
the more I looked at its implications, the more amazed that I became,
not least of which because my search engine couldn't locate a single
piece of writing on the subject anywhere.

 The ideal percentage allocation between gold silver  |
| There are three major types of Perth Mint Depository investor:
Those that only buy gold
Those that only buy silver
Those that buy 50% gold and 50% silver
There are others who include platinum, or have different percentages, but the above three types are a significant majority of our clients. I find it interesting that most investors who weren’t strong goldbugs or silverbugs and couldn’t decide between them went with a simple 50/50 strategy. This begs the question: is this a good strategy and wWednesday, August 19, 2020 |

| Conventional techniques for precious metal quality assessment
Historically, inspection of gold quality has mostly involved chemical analysis to determine purity, using techniques such as fireassay[1]. But as this is a wholly destructive technique, there are obvious disadvantages. More recently minimally or non-destructive techniques such as mass spectrometry [1] or X-ray fluorescence [2,3], and even low temperature photoluminescence [4] have been used.Monday, April 6, 2020 |
