Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Sanders Research Associates, an economic analysis company
based in Ireland, has just published in its widely read Quarterly
Commentary an interview with GATA Chairman Bill Murphy about
the suppression of the price of gold. It's well-done and worth sharing
with the financial press and anyone interested in the markets. You

The $3.7 billion merger of Franco-Nevada and Gold
Fields is expected to send a shock wave across Canada's
mining sector with a wide mix of players feeling the

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Below is the press release announcing the merger of
Gold Fields and Franco-Nevada. The people at these
companies believe in gold's historic purposes and

You'll see from GATA Chairman Bill Murphy's
comments below that GATA now is raising
serious questions about what is going on
with gold being shipped out of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York and how it is being
accounted for. We just might have a few
government agencies going at it before long.
