  • Krastsvetmet
    GOLD BARS Supplement 6/2009 OJSC THE GULIDOV KRASNOYARSK NON-FERROUS METALS PLANT KRASTSVETMET KRASNOYARSK, SIBERIA RUSSIAN FEDERATION LOCATION The Gulidov Krasnoyarsk Non-Ferrous Metals Plant, the largest gold (and platinum group metals) refiner and bar manufacturer in the Russian Federation, has its headquarters and gold refinery in the city of Krasnoyarsk in Siberia. Krasnoyarsk (which means “beautiful bank of a river”) is Siberia’s second largest city. It is situated across the banks of the Yenisey river, about 3,500 km east of Moscow. Krastsvetmet was founded during the The company, whose abbreviated name is Krastsvetmet, manufactures Great Patriotic War in 1943. London Good Delivery 400 oz bars and a standard range of 4 small cast bars and 6 minted bars: Cast: 400 oz, 1000 g, 500 g, 250 g, 100 g Minted: 100 g, 50 g, 20 g, 10 g, 5 g, 1 g ACCREDITATION 1999 London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) 2007 Dubai Multi Commodities Centre * Although the Krasnoyarsk Plant was accredited to the LBMA under its own name in 1999, it had previously manufactured London Good Delivery 400 oz bars as a USSR/ Russian State Refinery. BACKGROUND The company was established in 1943 during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) to focus on the refining of platinum group metals. The company is the largest gold refiner in the Russian Federation. Although a gold refinery was opened in 1959, its annual gold output over the next 35 years was relatively low, normally less than 10 tonnes. Since the mid-1990s, however, when Russian refiners were permitted to act independently and compete for business, the company has expanded rapidly, not least to become the largest refiner of newly-mined gold in the Russian Federation.

Sovereign-Neutral Monetary Unit © Tether Operations Limited, 2021 February 12, 2021 Introduction Once synonymous with the term “money”, gold is a substance of immense intrigue and historical significance. Known to the Incas as “tears of the sun”, gold was described by Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey as “the glory of the immortals and a sign of wealth among ordinary men”. Having featured in both the Old and New Testaments, the timeless and universal cultural relevance of this shiny metal cannot be denied. Today, however, gold is not synonymous with “money”. There exists instead a vast array of monies, each associated with a sovereign political authority and used predominantly only within national boundaries. These national systems of money were originally based upon redeemability to fixed amounts of gold, either directly or via a peg to the U.S.

Over centuries, gold has been prized for its rarity and beauty. One of the earliest records of gold used as money dates from 560 BC, when King Croesus of Lydia, today’s western Turkey, created a coin emblazoned with his own image. Before coinage, many commodities were used as a medi- um of exchange — cattle, cocoa beans, shells and hides, to name but a few. As the idea of the guaranteed gold coin gained gradual acceptance, gold became the formalized basis of economic life. Like ancient cultures, our modern society still recognizes the value and beauty of gold. Gold jewelry continues to adorn us; gold is used as an industrial metal in electronics, dentistry and other applications asother well applications as as well as an investment vehiclean in investment the form ofvehicle coins andin the bars.

  • Gold As an Investment: Will Precious Metals Continue to Shine?
    A S O U N D M I N D I N V E S T I N G S P E C I A L R E P O R T Gold as an Investment: Will Precious Metals Continue to Shine? B Y A U S T I N P R Y O R GOLD AS AN INVESTMENT: WILL PRECIOUS METALS CONTINUE TO SHINE? Introduction At the tender age of 25, as I was becoming interested in the topic of investing, one of the books that captured my attention was a 1970 best-seller by an investment adviser named Harry Browne. It had the rather alarming title How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation. Browne took the unconventional view that America’s tax and monetary policies would lead to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar—and soon! He recommended that investors diversify into gold, silver, and foreign currencies like the Swiss franc. Given that the United States had the world’s strongest economy, and was the world’s lead- ing creditor nation as well, Browne’s concern about devalution seemed, well, prepos- terous. So I ignored his diversification advice, and continued on my merry way in- vesting in U.S. common stocks. Then, a year later in 1971, President Richard Nixon stunned the world financial com- munity by “closing the gold window.” You may have no idea what that means, so let me offer some background that will help you understand its significance. As World War II drew to a close, economists from the leading industrial nations met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to hammer out a new international monetary system on which to base post-war recovery and growth.

    Frequently Asked Questions 1. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN GOLD? Investors buy gold for both tactical and strategic reasons. Positive industry demand and supply dynamics mean that investors have recently bought gold for price appreciation purposes. However, many investors buy gold for strategic reasons. Chief among these is the role that gold can play in portfolio diversification. Because the price of gold does not correlate with the price of mainstream financial assets, it is an effective tool for diversifying one's portfolio. Gold also has a history as an effective hedge against inflation and dollar weakness. Gold has also proved to be a safe-haven in times of geopolitical or financial duress. 2. HOW VOLATILE IS THE GOLD PRICE? The gold price is typically slightly less volatile than major stock market indices, such as the S&P500, and is much less volatile than other commodities. For example, at the end of H1 2008, the 1-year volatilities of lead, copper, and brent crude oil were 48%, 30% and 29% respectively. The corresponding volatility of the gold price was only 20%. Differences of this magnitude are typical. There are good reasons why gold is less volatile than other commodities. First, the gold market is deep and liquid, and is supported by the availability of large above-ground stocks. Because gold is virtually indestructible, nearly all of the gold that has ever been mined still exists and, unlike base metals or even other precious metals such as silver, much of it is in near-market form. As a result, in the event of a sudden supply-side shock or rapid increase in demand, recycled gold can, and frequently does, come back on to the market, hence dampening any brewing price spike.
