In its 2010 annual report, the Bank of International Settlements said that "gold, which the bank held in connection with gold swap operations, under which the bank exchanges currencies for physical gold," stands at 8,160.1 million in special drawing rights, equivalent to 346 tonnes this year, up from nil in 2009.” Apparently this amount has now climbed to 382 tonnes since the report was issued. Swaps are financial instruments that allow for the exchange of one asset for another, in this case, gold for currency. They are not gold leasing, futures or options [which the 1999 and 2004 Central Bank Gold Agreement states would not be increased – The 2009 did not contain the statement]. Swaps could be undertaken by the signatories of the CBGA. as these were not included in any of the three Agreements. Gold swaps are usually undertaken between central banks: One central bank exchanges foreign exchange deposits (or other reserve assets) for gold with an agreement that the transaction be unwound at an agreed future date, at an agreed price. The monetary authority acquiring the foreign exchange will pay interest on the foreign exchange received, the rate of which is currently very low. Gold swaps are usually undertaken when the cash-taking central bank may want foreign exchange but does not wish to sell outright its gold holdings. The Wall Street Journal informs us that the B.I.S. did these swaps with commercial banks. We know of no commercial bank that has 382 tonnes of gold on their books. It is likely then that should these commercial banks have been in the deal, they would have been acting for a central bank [or several over time] who wished to remain anonymous. The B.I.S. received the gold into its safekeeping for the nation that required the foreign exchange for the swap period. Swaps of this nature are renewable once the time runs out, so it is impossible to say how long the swap will last for. The central bank that undertook the swap would have to be certain that it could return the currencies to get the gold back at some point in the future. If that country defaulted, then and only then could the B.I.S. go ahead and sell this gold. Any sale in the open market would be trumpeted loudly to all as well as reported in the Press or by the World Gold Council, B.I.S. or I.M.F. By Julian D. W. Phillips Julian D. W.

No Matter How High Gold Actually Soars Right now, this "little" undiscovered, new mining company already has ten mines up and running. Plus four more projects heading into development. It also has enormous land holdings with lots of undisclosed mineral potential. Plus, it just swallowed whole another holding with as much as 2 million more ounces of gold in the ground. Add that to measured and recorded reserves of 19 million ounces... plus another 16 million ounces that are either "inferred" or "proven and probable." Sounds rich? Don't forget, I haven't even said anything yet about the nearly 3.4 billion pounds of copper tucked under this company's territory. And copper is the key to this whole secret. Because it's the steady flow of cash from the copper— remember, this company has innovated a way to get both the copper and gold out of the ground at the same time — that's making the gold production, in relative terms, possible for less than one penny per ounce. Here's the best part... This little company's savvy management had the foresight to hedge the entire copper reserve by making deals that locked in its copper sales at record levels for essentially the next two years. So even though the global economy keeled over and copper prices fell, this company keeps on raking it in on its copper discoveries... which means it keeps on getting the gold out of the ground for next to nothing at the same time. Did I mention? This company has no debt. It's also sitting on a massive pile of cash. And that pile just keeps getting bigger. This is partly why the stock not only has huge upward potential, but it also pays a dividend. This is a powder keg waiting to pop. With gold prices creeping higher... and then accelerating... this isn't going to stay off mainstream radars for long. You'll need to make a move on this soon.

Four Times Your Money Even if Gold Prices Don't Budge Another Inch Anybody who can get gold out of the ground for a penny... And sell it for even $900 per ounce or $900 per ounce stands to make a handsome return. And so do their shareholders. What I'll show you here is gold hitting as high as $1,000... $1,400... or even $2,000 per ounce... over the next 12–24 months. Owning shares of this company could mean at least a 400% gain in that time period, even if only half of what we're calling for comes through. So here's how this works. For most miners, getting gold out of the ground is done in pretty much the same way across the industry. But not for this wily little company I've been telling you about. What it's done is invent a way to mine the gold — and rich veins of raw copper — at the same time. The copper mining is so lucrative the profits more than cover the cost of pulling the gold out of the same hole. And that means close to 100% upside potential on the gold, no matter the current spot price on the market. Any way you slice it, it's booking massive profits.

The mineral rich nation of Mongolia has remained for too long in the shadow of its neighbour Russia. For decades Mongolia has been under communist rule, sitting on an untapped wealth of natural reserves, such as copper, coal and gold. International investors have been deterred from investing in the country due to political instability. However, with the election to power last year of the Democratic Party, the country has been turned on its head. The floodgates have been opened for foreign investors to access Mongolia’s mineral reserves. The catalyst which set the ball rolling to transform this once poverty stricken nation was President Elbegdorj Tsaknia’s move to remove a 68% punitive tax. This made it financially viable for foreign investors to expand into Mongolia. This year has seen Canadian based Ivanhoe Mines develop a £3.3bn copper and gold mine.
