James Turk: Myths and reality of gold confiscation
9:48a ET Thursday, November 24, 2011
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
With a little math, GoldMoney founder and Free Gold Money Report editor James Turk calculates that President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the confiscation of gold from U.S. citizens in 1933 not to restore confidence in the value of the dollar but rather to increase the government's power of expropriation of individuals. Turk, a consultant to GATA, titles his commentary "Myths and Reality of Gold Confiscation" and you can find it at the FGMR Internet site here:

GATA's lengthy correspondence with the U.S. Treasury Department from 2005 detailing the power the department claims to seize or freeze precious metals-related property -- and indeed all property -- from U.S. citizens remains posted at GATA's Internet site here:

Golden Phoenix Completes Operating Agreement
for Santa Rosa Gold Mine in Panama
Golden Phoenix Minerals Inc. (GPXM) has entered a joint venture operating agreement with Silver Global S.A., a Panamanian corporation, governing the operational and management aspects of their new joint venture company, Golden Phoenix Panama S.A., a Panamanian corporation formed to hold and operate the Santa Rosa gold mine in Canazas, Panama, and explore the mine's adjacent property.
Golden Phoenix will be manager of the joint venture company. Silver Global will handle all social programs, political and community relations, and human resource matters for the joint venture company in Panama. Golden Phoenix and Silver Global also have agreed to work together on all future acquisitions within Panama and to bring such new opportunities to the joint venture company.
Golden Phoenix will be earning in to a 60 percent interest (and potentially an 80 percent interest) in the Santa Rosa mine. Upon signing the joint venture agreement and completing the corresponding acquisition payment, Golden Phoenix will earn an initial 15 percent interest in the joint venture company.
Tom Klein, CEO of Golden Phoenix, says the agreement "creates a solid foundation for the development and planned re-opening of Mina Santa Rosa."
