Alasdair Macleod: Gold re-entering monetary system
2p ICT Monday, July 2, 2012
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Writing at GoldMoney, the economist Alasdair Macleod joins those noting official proposals to recognize gold holdings by banks as equivalent -- and, implicitly, superior -- to government-issued cash.
Macleod writes: "What is sauce for the commercial goose is also sauce for the central-bank gander: It makes no sense for the central banks to continue to marginalise gold on their own balance sheets. Instead, central banks should abandon the myth of valuing gold on their books at $42.22 and treat it as a proper monetary asset. ... What this proposal amounts to is no less than the official remonetisation of gold."
Macleod's commentary is headlined "Gold Re-entering Monetary System" and it's posted at GoldMoney here:

Multi-Million-Ounce Gold and Silver Deposits in Canada
Northaven Resources Corp. (TSX-V:NTV) is advancing five gold and silver projects in highly prospective and politically stable British Columbia, Canada.
Check out the exploration program on our Allco gold/silver project :
-- A large (13,000 hectare) property, covering more than 15 square kilometers of a regional mineralized trend just 3km from a recently announced 1.2-million-ounce gold and 15-million-ounce silver deposit.
-- The property hosts historic high-grade silver workings and many mineral showings as well as former mines at the property's northern and southern boundaries.
-- A deep-penetrating airborne geophysics survey has just been completed on the entire property and neighboring deposits and its results are eagerly awaited.
