spread it
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:

2. Herald Sun in Australia on April 4th
http://www.gata.org/flles/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

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 your10-005

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.
1) A summary of GATA's work:

3) The full documentation section of GATA's Internet site:

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:

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."
