With price inflation rising out of control and interest rates rising strongly, the trading environment for commercial banks has fundamentally changed. With bad debts looming and bond prices in entrenched downtrends, procrastination is now the enemy of bankers.

We are at the beginning of The Great Unwind, and this article elaborates on my first article for Goldmoney on the subject, published here:

The imperative for bankers to respond to these conditions overrides all other matters if their businesses are to survive these changed conditions.

Reyna Gold Identifies Major Geophysical Anomalies
and More High-Grade Gold, Silver, and Copper

Company Announcement
November 1, 2022

Reyna Gold Corp. (TSXV: REYG, OTCQB: REYGF) announces more results from the ongoing district-scale exploration at its 24,215 hectare La Gloria Property in Sonora, Mexico.

Results are returning high-grade gold, silver and copper samples from multiple mineralized zones that align with geophysical anomalies, silica alterations, and structural controls on the property.

Details appear at the link below.

"We are using a geoscientific exploration approach that is continually working on the property," Reyna Gold CEO Michael Wood said. "We have identified a number of very large geophysical anomalies that tie in with large silica alternations that our initial drilling and geochemical sampling work show are coinciding with high-grade gold, silver, and copper mineralization.

"These anomalies are mainly covered and as a consequence have never been explored, presenting us with very large unexplored targets that we know are hosting mineralization from multiple orogenic and intrusive related events across an 80-square-kilometer area. It is very exciting to see our exploration approach continuing to uncover more and more mineralization on the property.” ...

After outlining the scale of the problems faced by each global systemically important bank, this article looks at the future for the $600 trillion derivatives mountain. It was born out of the long-term decline in interest rates from the mid-1980a, which ended last year. It is almost entirely distributed through banks and shadow banks.

The questions to address are: What is the future for the derivatives mountain now that the long-term trend for falling interest rates is over? And what are the economic consequences? ...
