Heritage Foundation holds Conference on a Stable Dollar
5p ET Monday, September 26, 2011
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Looks like there will be lots of good speakers at the Heritage Foundation's Conference on a Stable Dollar, to be held Wednesday and Thursday, October 5 and 6, in Washington, as cited to you in a dispatch earlier today arising from the New York Sun's latest editorial (http://www.gata.org/node/10488).
In addition to gold standard advocate Lewis E. Lehrman, speakers probably well known to GATA supporters will include Forbes Media CEO and sometime presidential candidate Steve Forbes; James Grant, editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer; the former assistant to President George W. Bush, Lawrence Lindsey (who probably knows all about gold price suppression); former Navy Secretary and Ambassador J. William Middendorf, a leader of the Committee for Monetary Research and Education; and the economist Judy Shelton, whose gold-sympathetic essays in The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere often have been called to your attention.
Admission to the conference appears to be free. You just have to register for it. You can learn all about it and register for it at the Heritage Foundation's Internet site here:

Sona Drills 85.4g Gold/Ton Over 4 Metres at Elizabeth Gold Deposit,
Extending the Mineralization of the Southwest Vein on the Property
Company Press Release, October 27, 2010
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Sona Resources Corp. reports on five drillling holes in the third round of assay results from the recently completed drill program at its 100 percent-owned Elizabeth Gold Deposit Property in the Lillooet Mining District of southern British Columbia. Highlights from the diamond drilling include:
-- Hole E10-66 intersected 17.4g gold/ton over 1.54 metres.
-- Hole E10-67 intersected 96.4g gold/ton over 2.5 metres, including one assay interval of 383g of gold/ton over 0.5 metres.
-- Hole E10-69 intersected 85.4g gold/ton over 4.03 metres, including one assay interval of 230g gold/ton over 1 metre.
Four drill holes, E10-66 to E10-69, targeted the southwestern end of the Southwest Vein, and three of the holes have expanded the mineralized zone in that direction. The Southwest Vein gold mineralization has now been intersected over a strike length of 325 metres, with the deepest hole drilled less than 200 metres from surface.
"The assay results from the Southwest Zone quartz vein continue to be extremely positive," says John P. Thompson, Sona's president and CEO. "We are expanding the Southwest Vein, and this high-grade gold mineralization remains wide open down dip and along strike to the southwest."
