Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Three stars of the gold world will attend the GATA
reception at the New Orleans Investment Conference
on Saturday evening, November 1:

-- Frank Veneroso of Allianz Dresdner, a GATA
consultant whose research has disclosed that
central bank gold lending is two to three times
larger than officially acknowledged. In an interview
with CBSMarketWatch Editor Thom Calandra two
weeks ago, Veneroso declared that the central
banks have been trying to suppress the price of
gold as another form of currency intervention.

-- John Embry, president of Sprott Asset
Management in Toronto, who in several public
appearances in Canada has endorsed GATA's
research and conclusions about the gold market
and whose precious metals mutual fund was the
best-performing major fund in the world in 2002.

-- Mark Wellesley-Wood, CEO of Durban
Roodeport Deep, the South African gold-mining
company that is considered the most leveraged
to the gold price and that has a huge investor
base in the United States. Of course Durban
and Wellesley-Wood are long-time supporters
of GATA.

The GATA reception will be held just prior to the
conference's dinner/dance and will be open
only to GATA supporters (which, by definition,
includes subscribers at GATA Chairman Bill
Murphy's Internet site, LeMetropoleCafe.com).
Reservations for the reception will be required,
so if you haven't already made a reservation,
please do so by e-mailing your secretary/treasurer
at GATAComm@aol.com. I'll reply with details
about the exact time and place of the reception.
(A notice to people who already have made
reservations will be sent shortly too.)

Of course GATA's delegation to the conference
will attend the reception as well -- Murphy,
GoldMoney founder and Freemarket Gold and
Money Report Editor James Turk, litigator
Reginald H. Howe, statistician Michael Bolser,
researchers Andrew Hepburn and Robert K.
Landis, and your secretary/treasurer. We're all
looking forward to meeting new and old friends.

In addition to GATA's Murphy, Turk, and
Veneroso, the conference's speakers include
Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, Richard Russell of Dow
Theory Letters, renowned global investor Jim
Rogers, and CBSMarketWatch's Calandra.

The conference emphasizes natural resource
investments and always has been a favorite with
investors interested in gold, silver, and energy.

While the conference hotel, the New Orleans
Sheraton, is now fully booked during the
conference, there's still time to register for the
conference and lodging is available at another
excellent Sheraton hotel just a few blocks away
within easy walking distance.

You can register for the conference and find out
all about it and New Orleans here:

The conference has generously offered to make
a contribution to GATA for every GATA supporter
who attends. So when you register online, watch
closely for the section of the registration form that
asks how you heard about the conference. Open the
answer box and click on quot;GATA.quot;

With the gold and silver markets boiling and
currencies showing great strain, the New Orleans
Investment Conference will present more
profitable investment opportunities than ever, as
well as just being plain old interesting. Of course
uprooting yourself for four or five days isn't easy
and cheap, but at least check out the conference's
Internet site. We can make good progress for the
cause here and hope to see you.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
