IMF plots world money issuance without accountability, Rickards tells King
10:30p ET Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
James G. Rickards, senior managing director for Virginia-based research firm Omnis Inc., was interviewed for 19 minutes today by Eric King of King World News and remarked that world government is under construction, and it's not the hallucination of the paranoid fringe. Rather, Rickards said, it's being arranged at the International Monetary Fund, whose Special Drawing Rights are being prepared to replace the U.S. dollar as the international reserve currency. While this might terminate the unfair advantages given to the country that issues the reserve currency, Rickards said, it creates other problems: The IMF has no direct accountability to anyone and indeed letting it issue SDRs as a reserve currency would be money creation without any accountability at all.
Rickards expects gold to rise to $2,000 in the near term and $5,000 in the long term.

Preliminary Feasibility Study Completed for Seabridge Gold's KSM Project
Study Reports Reserves of 30.2 Million Oz. Gold, 7 Billion Lbs. Copper,
133 Million Oz Silver, 210 Million Lbs. Molybdenum
Base Case Life of Mine Cash Operating Costs Estimated at $144/oz. Gold Produced
(Net of Base Metal Credits)
Toronto -- Seabridge Gold Inc. has announced results from a National Instrument 43-101 compliant preliminary feasibility study of its 100-percent owned KSM project in northern British Columbia, Canada. The study was prepared by Wardrop, a Tetra Tech company, a major international engineering and consulting firm.
Seabridge President and CEO Rudi Fronk says, "The study confirms that the KSM project now hosts the largest gold reserve in Canada and one of the largest in the world. KSM is projected to provide an extraordinary mine life of more than 35 years with estimated cash operating costs well below the current average of the major gold producers. Estimated capital costs are in line with those of comparable, large-scale, undeveloped gold-copper projects and KSM has the advantage of being located in a low-risk jurisdiction."
