Kingold Jewelry, a Nasdaq-listed jeweller and producer of household ornaments, has been accused of large-scale fraud in the second major scandal in three months involving a Chinese company listed in the United States.

Thursday, July 2, 2020

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Asante Gold Corp. (CSE:ASE / Frankfurt:1A9 / U.S.OTC: ASGOF) has received the results of 3D magnetic modeling completed over its Kubi mining lease in the Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana.

The Ashanti shear zone hosts the largest single gold resource in Ghana, the 66-million-ounce Obuasi mine. This major shear zone cuts Kubi 15 kilometers southwest of Obuasi. ...

Kingold, one of China's largest gold jewellery manufacturers, allegedly used 83 tonnes of gold bars as loan collateral, which later turned out to be gilded copper. Caixin described it as one of the largest gold loan fraud cases China has ever seen. ...
