    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:

    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

    CL-00895
    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:

    2) A compendium of much of the documentation GATA has collected:

    3) The full documentation section of GATA's Internet site:
    http ://www.gata.o rg/taxo no my/term/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.org/node/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."
