GATA

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

GATA’s Gold Rush 21 conference in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, in August 2005 marked an upward turn in the gold market, showing the world that Western central banks were suppressing the price of the monetary metal through largely surreptitious and even fraudulent means — but also that they would lose.

Now GATA plans to accelerate that realization by reprising Gold Rush 21 with a conference from Thursday-Saturday, August 4-6, in London, home of the London Bullion Market Association and the gold-dumping Bank of England, which now are fairly warned. The conference will review where gold has gone on GATA’s watch and examine where it might go as it returns to its rightful place at the center of the world financial system.

The Gold Rush 2011 conference in London will be held at the famous Savoy Hotel on the Thames River —

http://www.fairmont.com/savoy/

– and will feature many of the speakers from the Gold Rush 21 conference in Dawson City, plus some who have become sensations in the gold and silver world over the last few years:

– James G. Rickards, senior managing director for market 4-8-trans-intelligence at consulting firm Omnis Inc. in McLean, Virginia.

– London silver trader and whistleblower Andrew Maguire, whose complaint about silver market manipulation, presented by GATA to the public hearing of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in Washington a year ago March, sent the price of silver soaring.

– Ben Davies, CEO of Hinde Capital, who has been making the case for gold and silver on financial news television programs throughout the world.

– Market Force Analysis editor and GATA Board of Directors member Adrian Douglas, whose research studies have documented gold and silver market manipulation.

– And Cheviot Asset Management Investment Director Ned Naylor-Leyland.

Speakers returning from Gold Rush 21 will include:

– GATA Chairman Bill Murphy.

– South African gold mining industry expert Peter George.

– Sprott Asset Management Chairman Eric Sprott.

– Sprott Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist John Embry.

– GoldMoney founder James Turk.

– Hugo Salinas Price, president of the Mexican Civic Association for Silver.

– Gold price suppression litigator Reginald H. Howe.

– Kirkland Lake Gold CEO Brian A. Hinchcliffe.

– Gold market analyst John Brimelow.

– Samex Mining Corp. President Jeff Dahl.

– And your secretary/treasurer.

Admission to the conference will be $800, which also will cover an opening night reception and some meals and refreshments during the conference. Starting in about a week, the Savoy Hotel will offer conference participants a special discounted daily room rate of £225 ($360 or so at the moment). We hope to offer some family outings in London as well.

Gold Rush 21 conference organizer Janet Lee has returned to organize the London conference.

The invitation to GATA’s London conference has been posted here:

We’ll let you know next week when room reservations at the conference rate are being offered at the Savoy.

We hope to see many of our old friends and to make many new ones in London.
