Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's another report about South Africa's
expulsion of Durban Roodeport Deep CEO
Mark Wellesley-Wood, from www.News24.com.
With all the political polemicism here, I
suppose that one has to read between the
lines, but in any case this seems likely
to discourage foreign investment in South
Africa and to make things harder for that

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- The price of gold is trying
to keep its head above $300, with little success. Yet shares of
the riskiest gold mining companies, the so-called junior
exploration companies, are at their highest points since late 1999.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
MiningWeb.com has determined that the German central
bank official whose remark about selling more gold
spooked the gold market the other day went out of his
way to make his point.
This, MiningWeb.com, gives credence to the complaint
that central banks are in league to keep the gold price
down.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Canada's Financial Post, the business section
of the National Post, devoted most of a page
today to a long article about GATA. It appeared
with a big photograph of GATA Chairman Bill
Murphy and Alain Despert's painting symbolizing
our cause. The article was a result of GATA's
February 12 press conference in Washington,
which the Post's reporter attended.
