GOLD ndash THE ORES
WHERE DOES THE GOLD COME FROM
1) 75 of the gold annual output comes from the top twenty gold producing countries
2) South Africa Australia Canada South American countries
3) At 14 though China is now the worldrsquos largest producer as well as the worldrsquos largest consumer
4) But if China supplies 371 tonnes (14 only) of the output from mines then this total world output is adequate for the JE market only
5) So where does the rest come from
6) SEE LATER hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip
Dore bars are semi-finished semi-pure ingots of gold and silver usually created at the site of the mine These are then supplied to a refiner such as Metalor for purification The proportions of gold amp silver can vary widely Bars can weigh up to 25kg

The semi-pure bars are treated with Borax or Soda ash to remove the less precious and non-precious metals
They can then be cast into the ldquogoodrdquo delivery bars
PRECIOUS METALS
LMBA ndash GOOD DELIVERY BAR STATUS
1) To get LBMA status Must be established for three years
2) To get LBMA status Be able to refine a minimum of 10 tonnes gold and 50 tonnes of silver per annum
3) There are stringent criteria of assaying standards
4) Assaying abilities and standards are checked constantlyperiodically by the LBMA
5) A GDB (good delivery bar for gold will be a minimum 995 and weigh 11-13kg normally
6) Therefore a GDB is a refined dore bar that would be further refined to 999 9999 (four nines ndash fine gold) will be a HIGHLY refined bar
CAST SIZE OPTIONS
1kg to 100g
Different options can be offered regarding9999 (ldquofour ninesrdquo) otherwise know as fine gold and in jewellery terms 24 carat gold
Bigger is cheaperhellip hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip scale
WAFERS AND STAMPED INGOTS
The initial stage is rolling an ingot into a form that can be stamped
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GOLD
1) Chemical symbol Au from the Latin Aurum meaning ldquoshining dawnrdquo
2) Density 193gcc Most malleable metal I gram can be beaten into a sheet 1 sq metre
3) Gold leaf can be so thin to be transparent
4) Dissolves into mercury at room temperature to produce amalgam
5) Good conductor of heat and electricity Reflects infrared radiation
6) Unaffected by air moisture and most corrosive reagent
7) For these reasons above gold has many applications in such markets as Jewellery Industrial Chemical amp Electronics
8) As do others Precious Metals such as Silver Platinum amp Palladium
9) ALL can also be ldquoInvestment MaterialsProducts
CONSUMPTIONThe consumption of gold produced in the world is approximately 50 in jewellery 40 in investments and 10 in industry
India is the worlds largest single consumer of gold as Indians buy about 25 of the worlds gold purchasing approximately 800 tonnes of gold every year mostly for jewellery India is also the largest importer of gold

Of all the precious metals gold is the most popular as an investment
Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or harbour against economic political or social fiat currency crises (including investment market declines burgeoning national debt currency failure inflation war and social unrest)
The gold market is subject to speculation as are other markets especially through the use of future contracts futures and derivatives Gold price has shown a long term correlation with the price of crude oil
This suggests a reason why gold is sold off during economic weakness
GOLD PRICING
GOLD ACCOUNTS
Many types of gold accounts are available Different accounts impose varying types of intermediation between the client and their gold One of the most important differences between accounts is whether the gold is held on an allocated (fully reserved) or unallocated (pooled) basis
Unallocated gold accounts are a form of fractional reserve banking and do not guarantee an equal exchange for metal in the event of a run on the issuers gold on deposit Another major difference is the strength of the account holders claim on the gold in the event that the account administrator faces gold-denominated liabilities such as bankruptcy
COMPLIANCE
RJC - Responsible Jewellery Council

The Responsible Jewellery Council the World Gold Council and the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition are developing known origin compliance systems which take account of the specific complexities of the gold supply chain

WHERE DOES THE GOLD COME FROM
1) 75 of the gold annual output comes from the top twenty gold producing countries
2) South Africa Australia Canada South American countries
3) At 14 though China is now the worldrsquos largest producer as well as the worldrsquos largest consumer
4) But if China supplies 371 tonnes (14 only) of the output from mines then this total world output is adequate for the JE market only
5) So where does the rest come from

PRECIOUS METALS
LMBA ndash GOOD DELIVERY BAR STATUS
1) To get LBMA status Must be established for three years
2) To get LBMA status Be able to refine a minimum of 10 tonnes gold and 50 tonnes of silver per annum
3) There are stringent criteria of assaying standards
4) Assaying abilities and standards are checked constantlyperiodically by the LBMA
5) A GDB (good delivery bar for gold will be a minimum 995 and weigh 11-13kg normally
6) Therefore a GDB is a refined dore bar that would be further refined to 999 9999 (four nines ndash fine gold) will be a HIGHLY refined bar

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GOLD
1) Chemical symbol Au from the Latin Aurum meaning ldquoshining dawnrdquo
2) Density 193gcc Most malleable metal I gram can be beaten into a sheet 1 sq metre
3) Gold leaf can be so thin to be transparent
4) Dissolves into mercury at room temperature to produce amalgam
5) Good conductor of heat and electricity Reflects infrared radiation
6) Unaffected by air moisture and most corrosive reagent
7) For these reasons above gold has many applications in such markets as Jewellery Industrial Chemical amp Electronics
8) As do others Precious Metals such as Silver Platinum amp Palladium
9) ALL can also be ldquoInvestment MaterialsProducts

Dore bars are semi-finished semi-pure ingots of gold and silver usually created at the site of the mine These are then supplied to a refiner such as Metalor for purification The proportions of gold amp silver can vary widely Bars can weigh up to 25kg

Marin (CH)REFINERY
The semi-pure bars are treated with Borax or Soda ash to remove the less precious and non-precious metals
They can then be cast into the ldquogoodrdquo delivery bars
PRECIOUS METALS
LMBA ndash GOOD DELIVERY BAR STATUS
1) To get LBMA status Must be established for three years
2) To get LBMA status Be able to refine a minimum of 10 tonnes gold and 50 tonnes of silver per annum
3) There are stringent criteria of assaying standards
4) Assaying abilities and standards are checked constantlyperiodically by the LBMA
5) A GDB (good delivery bar for gold will be a minimum 995 and weigh 11-13kg normally
6) Therefore a GDB is a refined dore bar that would be further refined to 999 9999 (four nines ndash fine gold) will be a HIGHLY refined bar

Of all the precious metals gold is the most popular as an investment
Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or harbour against economic political or social fiat currency crises (including investment market declines burgeoning national debt currency failure inflation war and social unrest)
The gold market is subject to speculation as are other markets especially through the use of future contracts futures and derivatives Gold price has shown a long term correlation with the price of crude oil
This suggests a reason why gold is sold off during economic weakness

GOLD ACCOUNTS
Many types of gold accounts are available Different accounts impose varying types of intermediation between the client and their gold One of the most important differences between accounts is whether the gold is held on an allocated (fully reserved) or unallocated (pooled) basis
Unallocated gold accounts are a form of fractional reserve banking and do not guarantee an equal exchange for metal in the event of a run on the issuers gold on deposit Another major difference is the strength of the account holders claim on the gold in the event that the account administrator faces gold-denominated liabilities such as bankruptcy
