Robert Moore: Selling gold that grows on trees
9:51 ET Friday, September 24, 2010
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Trader and market analyst Rick Ackerman today turns over his daily column at GoldSeek to his friend Robert Moore, whose essay, "Selling Gold that Grows on Trees," aptly describes the fraud of the precious metals futures markets. Moore examines the vast inflation of the imaginary metal supply by the bullion banks and then acknowledges, "I'm drifting dangerously close to the 'tin foil hat' event horizon." Actually, as Moore and Ackerman are discerning, there's less danger over here with the "tin foil hat" crowd than with the respectable people in the markets. Moore's commentary can be found in Ackerman's place at GoldSeek here:

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."
