    TO NEWSPAPER REPORTERS AND EDITORS: [blind copied on this email]
    The mainstream media is finally starting to report on what is happening
    in the precious metals market. The CFTC Hearing held on March 25,2010
    exposed the flagrant manipulation of the prices of gold and silver that has
    been orchestrated by the large bullion banks for more than ten years. Note:
    1. New York Post on April 1 lth
    http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/metal

    2. Herald Sun in Australia on April 4th
    http ://www.gata.org/files/HeraldSun-Beveridge-04-04-2010.pdf
    It is time for your paper to start reporting on this breaking story. We have
    read all about this breaking story from Internet news sources, but not from
    the mainstream media such as yours. Much of the background for this
    story has been documented and reported by GATA as noted in the
    email below.
    Please make the public aware of what's happening in the precious metals
    market. We do not need another surprise in the financial markets.
    TO THE
    CFTC:
    The SEC let the Madoff scandal blow up in their face.
    Please set and enforce position limits for gold and silver
    [LONG and SHORT] on the COMEX before this scandal
    explodes in the financial markets.
    Thanks for listening.10-005

    Submitted by cpowell on 09:34AM ET Sunday, April 11, 2010. Section: Daily Dispatches
    12:41p ET Sunday, April 11, 2010
    Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
    As you may have seen from a dispatch this morning, the gold and silver price suppression scheme today broke into the
    mainstream U.S. news media thanks to the New York Post:
    http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/metal
    are in the pits 2arTIGNbMK7m...
    While GATA has been anticipating this story for some time and GATA board member Adrian Douglas was crucial in
    facilitating it, because of their sensitivity you never know whether such stories will actually be executed or whether they will
    be spiked at the last minute. Thanks and congratulations to the Post and its deputy business editor, Michael Gray, the
    story's author, for publishing it.
    We now are more hopeful than ever that other mainstream news organizations will publish or broadcast something about
    the story. Judging from their recent contacts with GATA, at least three of the very largest such organizations seem to be
    pursuing it seriously. Let's hope that the observation by the late U.S. Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy still holds true: that
    mainstream journalists are like birds on a wire -- when one flies off, they all do.
    Ordinarily we welcome suggestions from our supporters, but please don't write us with suggestions about soliciting
    particular prominent news organizations or journalists. We've probably already tried to get through to most of them, some
    of them several times. For example, television commentator Glenn Beck and Rolling Stone magazine muckracker Matt
    Taibbi, who seem popular with our supporters, have ignored repeated requests from us. Over the years we've spent weeks
    cold-calling journalists and we're not doing that anymore; it is a huge waste of our time.
    But if you think that any particular journalist or news organization
    should
    be interested in the gold and silver price
    suppression story, please do the contacting yourself. Send a copy of your solicitation to GATA in care of your
    secretary/tresurer at [email protected] and tell the news organization or journalist you're soliciting that GATA will be glad
    to provide more information. You can include some background information, as follows.10-005

    1) A summary of GATA's work:
    http ://www.gata.org/node/6519
    2) A compendium of much of the documentation GATA has collected:
    http ://www.gata.o rg/n od e/8052
    3) The full documentation section of GATA's Internet site:
    http ://www.gata.o rg/taxon omy/te rm/21
    4) Today's New York Post story, showing that mainstream news organizations are starting to take interest in GATA's work:
    http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/metal
    are in the pits 2arTIGNbMK7m...
    You just might prompt some interest and you'll spare GATA a lot of duplication of effort.
    Some of you lately have expressed concerns about the safety of GATA's officers and their families, especially in light of the
    hit-and-run driver attack on GATA's whistleblower at the recent hearing of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading
    Commission, Andrew Maguire. We're grateful for that concern but operate from the premise that the more noise we make,
    the safer we are. So please help us make noise. Thanks to the Post's story, the moment is ripe.
    Of course you can be of further assistance simply by donating to GATA. Our presentations to the CFTC and news and related
    organizations lately have involved substantial travel expense and there likely will be more such expense.
    The World Gold Council is reported to have an annual budget of more than $60 million but it exists largely to ensure that
    there never
    is
    a world gold council and that the gold and silver mining industry remains mute in the face of its deadly
    enemies. Most mining companies and executives themselves are understandably cowed, since mining is the industry most
    vulnerable to government because of government's control of mining and environmental permits, and since, as the most
    capital-intensive industry, mining is most vulnerable to big banks and investment houses for financing, banks and
    investment houses generally being part of the gold and silver price suppression scheme. Even many mining executives who
    know better can bring themselves to comment only timorously, for fear of the harm that might come to them from
    governments and banks. For example, if you haven't done so already, listen to this week's King World News interview with
    mining entrepreneur Rob McEwen:
    http ://www.gata.o rg/n od e/8528
    For gold and silver investors and for the gold and silver mining industry -- and, indeed, for the cause of free and transparent
    markets throughout the world --
    GATA alone delivers.

    Preliminary Feasibility Study Completed for Seabridge Gold's KSM Project
    Study Reports Reserves of 30.2 Million Oz. Gold, 7 Billion Lbs. Copper,
    133 Million Oz Silver, 210 Million Lbs. Molybdenum
    Base Case Life of Mine Cash Operating Costs Estimated at $144/oz. Gold Produced
    (Net of Base Metal Credits)
    Toronto -- Seabridge Gold Inc. has announced results from a National Instrument 43-101 compliant preliminary
    feasibility study of its 100-percent owned KSM project in northern British Columbia, Canada. The study was
    prepared by Wardrop, a Tetra Tech company, a major international engineering and consulting firm.
    Seabridge President and CEO Rudi Fronk says, "The study confirms that the KSM project now hosts the largest
    gold reserve in Canada and one of the largest in the world. KSM is projected to provide an extraordinary mine
    life of more than 35 years with estimated cash operating costs well below the current average of the major
    gold producers. Estimated capital costs are in line with those of comparable, large-scale, undeveloped gold-
    copper projects and KSM has the advantage of being located in a low-risk jurisdiction."
