Gold $268.30 up 30 cents
Silver $4.34 up 1 cent

Here's a bombshell from Bob Chapman that fits in perfectly
with the information you have been getting from Midas for
the past four weeks or so. Bob, who is a big GATA supporter
and editor of the International Forecaster, sent us the

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Here's a big article published last week in the
Sueddeutsche Zeitung in Germany -- the South German
News, a major German newspaper. Many thanks to the
friend who forwarded it and the friends arranged its
translation.

I think you'll get from this article and others the
sense that GATA is slowly breaking onto the world
stage, beginning to establish its point, but still a

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Our friends have leapt to our defense at www.theminingweb.com
in response to the site's disparaging story about the Durban
conference -- so much so that the site has grouped some of
the responses in another story.

Thanks to all who got involved -- and to TheMiningWeb itself
for the equal time provided.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA Chairman Bill Murphy reports that, contrary to a strangely
negative story distributed today by www.TheMiningWeb.com,the
GATA African Gold Summit in Durban, South Africa, was quot;a huge
successquot; and could not have gone better.

South Africa has been deluged with publicity about the
conference for two days, particularly on television and radio.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

We're almost hoping that the disbelief and mockery exhibited
in the following story from Canada's Financial Post this week

minute and examine the FACTS and the RECORD is hard,but we're
working on it. It's going to happen.

Huge success for GATA African Gold Summit

explaining to you how the Gold Anti-Trust Action
Committee came into existence and what we are all
about.

I was writing gold market commentary for my financial
