Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
GATA doesn't advocate a gold standard for currencies, figuring that free markets in the precious metals would achieve the objectives offered for a gold standard even better than a gold standard itself would -- objectives like limited government, personal liberty, property rights, prosperity, peace, and the end of imperialism. After all, isn't defeating those objectives exactly why central banks struggle so mightily against free markets in the precious metals?
But as they increasingly recognize the irredeemability of the debt that is choking the world financial system, some people are beginning to see that gold's ancient virtues as money may have to be summoned to rescue the system in one way or another, gold being, as the economist Antal Fekete constantly reminds us, the only practical extinguisher of debt, money without counterparty risk. So discussion of a gold standard is gaining respectability, and you may want to start following the Gold Standard Institute, a new organization based suitably enough in Vienna, home of the Austrian economic school of thought.

Sona Drills 85.4g Gold/Ton Over 4 Metres at Elizabeth Gold Deposit, Extending the Mineralization of the Southwest Vein on the Property
Company Press Release, October 27, 2010
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Sona Resources Corp. reports on five drillling holes in the third round of assay results from the recently completed drill program at its 100 percent-owned Elizabeth Gold Deposit Property in the Lillooet Mining District of southern British Columbia. Highlights from the diamond drilling include:
-- Hole E10-66 intersected 17.4g gold/ton over 1.54 metres.
-- Hole E10-67 intersected 96.4g gold/ton over 2.5 metres, including one assay interval of 383g of gold/ton over 0.5 metres.
-- Hole E10-69 intersected 85.4g gold/ton over 4.03 metres, including one assay interval of 230g gold/ton over 1 metre.
Four drill holes, E10-66 to E10-69, targeted the southwestern end of the Southwest Vein, and three of the holes have expanded the mineralized zone in that direction. The Southwest Vein gold mineralization has now been intersected over a strike length of 325 metres, with the deepest hole drilled less than 200 metres from surface.
"The assay results from the Southwest Zone quartz vein continue to be extremely positive," says John P. Thompson, Sona's president and CEO. "We are expanding the Southwest Vein, and this high-grade gold mineralization remains wide open down dip and along strike to the southwest."
