J.S. Kim: Banks are rigging all commodity markets along with gold
5:19p ET Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
J.S. Kim, managing director of SmartKnowledgeU, a financial research and consulting firm, and editor of The Underground Investor Internet, site has written a wonderful essay concluding that all world commodity markets are manipulated by investment banks and governments and none of those markets is free. Kim writes of gold particularly:
"When I started discussing enormous fraud in the pricing behavior of gold markets six years ago, people regularly ridiculed me for my beliefs, especially whenever I publicly blogged about my beliefs. Back then my beliefs were grounded in my own research as well as the very substantial mountain of evidence provided by GATA that had not yet made its way into the general consciousness of the mainstream public. Today public beliefs about gold price suppression schemes have evolved 180 degrees. Now deniers of gold price suppression schemes, not I, are the ones viewed as naive. I believe the same realizations will eventually happen with all commodities, not just gold."
Kim is not alone in his conclusion. In his 2001 essay, "The Debasement of World Currency: It Is inflation, But Not as We Know It," the British economist Peter Warburton described the commodity market price suppression achieved by the explosion of derivative products:

Sona Resources Expects Positive Cash Flow from Blackdome,
Plans Aggressive Exploration of Elizabeth Gold Property
On May 18, 2010, Sona Resources Corp. (TSXV: SYS, Frankfurt: QS7) announced the release of a preliminary economic assessment for gold production at its flagship Blackdome and Elizabeth properties in British Columbia.
Sona Executive Chairman Nick Ferris says: "We view this as a baseline scenario for gold production. The project is highly sensitive to the price of gold. A conservative valuation of gold at $1,093 per ounce would result in a pre-tax cash flow of $54 million. The assessment indicates that underground mining at the two sites would recover 183,600 ounces of gold and 62,500 ounces of silver. Permitting and infrastructure are already in place for processing ore at the Blackdome mill, with a 200-tonne per day throughput over an eight-year mine life. Our near-term goal is to continue aggressive exploration at Elizabeth and develop a million-plus-ounce gold resource, commencing production in 2013."
