Submitted by admin on Wed, 2025-03-05 12:10 Section: Daily Dispatches12:08p ET Wednesday, March 5, 2025
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
In an interview conducted during the PDAC conference in Toronto this week, mining entrepreneur Eric Sprott pushed silver market manipulation onto the Kitco internet site, which long has been suppressing the price-suppression issue. Silver's price has been manipulated for 50 years, Sprott says, and gold and silver mining company shares are very undervalued. He thinks the silver price could exceed $50 soon.
The interview with Sprott is 18 minutes and can be viewed at Kitco here:

There aren't too many upsides to the widespread loss in confidence currently underway. It would be far better if major institutions were trustworthy, competent, and efficiently run. But fixing these institutions requires recognition of the problems.
The people who spent all of their time marginalizing gold bugs as nutjobs and conspiracy theorists are starting to find themselves out on the fringe.

The U.S. dollar may lose its traditional safe-haven status as global markets adjust to a new geopolitical order, according to Deutsche Bank AG.
"We do not write this lightly. But the speed and scale of global shifts are so rapid that this needs to be acknowledged as a possibility," said George Saravelos, the bank's global head of FX strategy, in a note to clients. "It is hard to overestimate the scale of change taking place in global economic and geopolitical relations in a matter of days."

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
We are so close to victory now. Gold is all over mainstream financial news organizations now even as they strive not to expose the real reasons for the monetary metal's spectacular rise: the collapse of the derivatives-based gold price suppression system.
Gold price suppression is almost a respectable topic now, even if GATA is still not respectable enough to get mentioned by mainstream financial news organizations even as we pummel them every day with evidence of their dishonesty.

Toronto's claim as the top mining hub is under threat as exploration companies leave Canada and listings dwindle on the nation's resource-heavy stock exchange.
Canada's once-thriving mining industry is facing challenges to its decades-old model, in which explorers and developers woo investors with promises of mining breakthroughs and established producers feed on their success, swallowing them in lucrative takeovers.
