Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

Today silver market analyst Ted Butler gives what may be his best weekly interview yet to Eric King of King World News. Butler says:

-- Last week's precious metals selloff was another Comex manipulation that may not last much longer.

-- There has been a sharp decline in the metal claimed to back the silver exchange-traded fund SLV and this may signify that the metal is needed somewhere else by the price managers amid a worsening shortage of metal.

-- Market analyst Jim Rickards' interview last week with King World News (called to your attention by GATA on Wednesday, http://www.gata.org/node/8546) was important for citing the lack of transparency of the London Bullion Market Association. "You can't depend on anything the LBMA says," Butler complains, adding that the LBMA discloses "nothing verifiable" and "I wouldn't trust anything from the LBMA."

-- Having sued Goldman Sachs for fraud on Friday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may give courage to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to act against Goldman and other investment banks in their manipulation of the commodities markets.

-- Silver is set up to take off imminently.

Let's hope that the Great Market Manipulator is listening -- and that's not Bernanke.

Each flow-through unit consists of one common share in the capital of the corporation (a "flow-through share") and half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (a "warrant").

The proceeds raised from the offering will be used for general exploration and to drill the 100-percent-owned River Jordan Property. This historic property hosts the King Fissure [aka River Jordan] lead, zinc, and silver deposit.

Following a comprehensive field program in 1991, a structural re-interpretation of the complex folds hosting the King fissure deposit resulted in a major increase in potential mineralization to 20 million tonnes of 7.5 percent lead, 7.5 percent zinc, and 100 g/t silver [Laird and Clark, 1991]. The estimated tonnage of the light rare earth and niobium-bearing extrusive carbonatite unit is on the order of 33,750,000 tonnes, with no ore grade currently established.
