    Gold & Silver Buyer’s Guide Inc. SINCE 1973 Precious Metals Buyer’s Guide Gold and silver are two of the most conservative investments you can make. However, if you buy the wrong form, you could lose 30% to 50% immediately. There are various forms of gold and silver, but the first thing to know is that YOU WANT BULLION, not numismatic/collectible coins that are hyped on radio and TV. With bullion, you pay the smallest mark-up over the current value of the gold/silver content. In short, you get more metal for your money. The commonly-promoted numismatic/collectible coins on radio/TV easily carry premiums of 30% to 50% and sometimes two to three times the value of the gold/silver content. Gold bullion comes in two forms: bullion coins and bullion bars. GOLD 1-oz. American Gold Eagle bullion coins Gold bullion coins are produced by various government mints, including the U.S. Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, Australia’s Perth Mint and the Austrian Mint. 1-oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf 1-oz. American Gold Eagles are the world’s most popular gold bullion coins; they also come in ½-oz., ¼-oz. and 1/10-oz. coins. Because Gold Eagles are alloyed coins, 91.67% pure (22-karat), they weigh slightly more than their stamped weights. Be assured that a 1-oz. Gold Eagle contains one ounce of gold, and a ½-oz. Gold Eagle contains one-half ounce of gold, etc. 1-oz. Australian Gold Kangaroo 1-oz. Austrian Gold Philharmonic cmigs.com | 800.528.1380 Also widely traded are South African Gold Krugerrands, which launched the gold bullion industry in the early 1970s.

  • 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.

  • Breaking Tradition
    ANNUAL REPORT 2012 BREAKING TRADITION As our business evolves, so must our brand—to ensure our corporate identity is an authentic expression of our character, offer and value. We renewed our brand to convey the dynamism of the Mint, our commitment to our stakeholders, and the spirit of engagement that drives our interactions with customers. As part of the exercise, we adopted a fresh, modernized logo. This new mark retains the maple leaf as a Canadian icon and coins as a symbol of our core business. It affirms our two core pillars of pride and trust and emphasizes in a new way our third: innovation. 2 | ROYAL CANADIAN MINT ANNUAL REPORT 2012 5 Financial and Operating Highlights 32 Performance Against Objectives 8 At a Glance: Breaking Tradition 34 Management Discussion and Analysis 18 Message from the President and CEO 55 Management Report 19 Message from the Chair 56 Audit Committee Report 20 Corporate Social Responsibility 57 Independent Auditor’s Report 22 Corporate Governance 58 Financial Statements 29 Directors and Officers 62 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 Business Lines 100 Statistics HEAD OFFICE AND WINNIPEG PLANT BOUTIQUE LOCATIONS OTTAWA PLANT Royal Canadian Mint Royal Canadian Mint Ottawa Visit our online store 320 Sussex Drive 520 Lagimodière Boulevard 320 Sussex Drive for a full selection of products Ottawa, Ontario Winnipeg, Manitoba Ottawa, Ontario at www.mint.ca Canada K1A 0G8 Canada R2J 3E7 Canada K1A 0G8 613-993-3500 204-983-6400 613-933-8990 Vancouver 752 Granville Street Vancouver, British Columbia
