World's Largest Gold Deposit Found, Worth Over Us$80 Billion

World's Largest Gold Deposit Found, Worth Over Us$80 Billion

Mike McRae  Thu, November 28, 2024

A deposit of high-quality gold ore containing around 1,000 metric tons (1,100 US tons) of the precious metal has been discovered in central China, according to Chinese state media.

Valued at approximately 600 billion yuan or US$83 billion, the discovery could be considered the largest and most lucrative reservoir of gold ever uncovered, surpassing the 900 metric tons estimated to lie within the mother of all gold reserves, South Deep mine in South Africa.

The Geological Bureau of Hunan Province announced the detection of 40 gold veins within a depth of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in the northeast Hunan county of Pingjiang.

These alone were thought to contain 300 metric tons of gold, with 3D modeling suggesting additional reserves may be found to a depth of 3 kilometers.

"Many drilled rock cores showed visible gold," says bureau prospector Chen Rulin.

Core samples suggest every metric ton of ore could contain as much as 138 grams (nearly 5 ounces) of gold – an extraordinary level of quality considering ore excavated from underground mines is considered high grade if it contains more than 8 grams.

China already dominates the world's gold market with reserves considered to be in excess of 2,000 tons earlier in 2024, its mining industry contributing around 10 percent of the global output.

The Global Economic Security and Reformation Act (GESARA) is dismantling the power structures that have enslaved humanity for centuries. With the full deployment of military operations and the quantum infrastructure of the Quantum Financial System (QFS), the Cabal’s grip on wealth and power is crumbling daily.

Possible Timing: Wed. 7 Nov. 2024: GESARA: The Largest Wealth Transfer in History – Secret Military Operations, Strikes, and Redemption Centers That Have Already Changed the World – Gazetteller

As of November 27, 2024, the world finds itself amid the greatest shift in modern history. The Global Economic Security and Reformation Act (GESARA) is no longer a whisper among the informed; it is a seismic wave dismantling the power structures that have enslaved humanity for centuries.

With the full deployment of military operations and the quantum infrastructure of the Quantum Financial System (QFS), the Cabal’s grip on wealth and power is crumbling daily.

GESARA’s Historic Wealth Transfer: November Updates November 15–20, 2024: The Foundation is Laid

Asset Seizures Intensify: Global military coalitions launched synchronized raids  in Switzerland, Singapore, and the Caribbean, seizing over $12 trillion in hidden accounts. These funds, tied to human trafficking rings and illigal arms trades, are being funneled into GESARA projects, including debt forgiveness, infrastructure rebuilding, and clean energy programs.

Silent Wealth Disbursements Begin: In Brazil, India, and parts of Africa, locals began reporting sudden cancellations of long-standing debts without explanation. By November 20, an estimated 2.7 million individuals in these regions had their financial burdens lifted, a direct result of GESARA’s redistribution process.

Mnt Goat  ...The news from Iraq is all still very good. There is so much progress. The BIG event of course, will be the ending of the current currency auction process and use of the new system already to implement. The CBI has told us that nearly 95% of the current payments needed for imports is covered by the four (4) correspondent banks for this purpose... remember that the clock is ticking and other outside banking relationships must take place but will most probably never take place unless the IQD is valuable again and most importantly on these terms it must also be reinstated back on FOREX for investors to “legally” use this currency in their portfolios of investments for their clients. This is the key. Yes, this is really just where we are right now...

Militia Man  They're talking about "financial risks".  They weren't talking in that way when they were moving forward into an international world with the 1310.  They're talking about preparedness for a change...They're focusing in on their banking sector.  Article quote "These days there's growing interest in the banking sector in general both government and private sectors..."  The banking sector is looking to be in good shape for this new stage.  That's what they're presenting...

Tishwash:  How does the United Nations view the steps of the Sudanese government in the economic file?

The United Nations praised the exceptional steps achieved by the government of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani in the areas of diversifying sources of income and the economy, and achieving food security, pledging to continue its support (the Iraqi government) in its efforts to achieve development and economic sustainability for Iraq.

The confirmations of the highest international organization in the world came from the Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations and Regional Director for Arab States, Abdullah Al-Dardari, who said in an interview with the official newspaper, “The Iraqi government has begun to take rapid steps to diversify sources of income, especially since the government realizes that reliance on oil can not only end within a certain period, but that advanced technology is what must create valuable job opportunities for Iraqi youth who yearn for initiative, creativity and invention. Therefore, the Iraqi government has allocated funding resources in this direction, such as the Central Bank’s funding plan of (700) million dollars for activities related to environmental efficiency, renewable energy and energy efficiency.”

He pointed out that “the United Nations is ready to provide technical support to ensure the best for this credit line,” noting that “the United Nations helped prepare a local strategy for Iraqi medium and small companies and financing mechanisms for these companies and their right to access all available sources of financing, and to develop banking work so that it becomes focused on financing productive projects, and there is a great effort that we are making with the Iraqi government in this direction.”

The UN official confirmed that “Iraq has achieved a major accomplishment in the non-oil sector, after achieving an abundant wheat crop exceeding (6) million tons. This accomplishment was achieved under difficult climatic conditions and with a large government investment of about (500) million dollars through the use of drip irrigation mechanisms, providing support to farmers, purchasing at a price higher than the market price, and granting soft loans,” indicating that “this is evidence that government policies and government funding can encourage the private sector to produce, increase food security in Iraq, and reduce dependence on imports, which saves about (4) billion dollars from wheat imports annually, which is a very large amount,” considering “this a major accomplishment for the Iraqi government.”

He added, "The United Nations is ready to cooperate with Iraq to develop food security and agricultural production systems."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Tawki: Agreement on the region’s dues paves the way for broader understandings on the oil and gas law

Member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Kazem Al-Tawki, revealed an agreement that paves the way for broader understandings regarding the oil and gas law.

Al-Tawki told {Euphrates News} that: “The recent agreement with the Kurdistan region is considered a good initiative because the point of contention in the law was the issue of dues and the costs of extracting the region’s oil.”

He added, “It set a high ceiling for financial costs estimated at $22 to extract one barrel, although the costs of extracting oil in the south and the central government contracts do not exceed $12 as the highest cost.”

Al-Tawki expected that this agreement would lead to broader understandings regarding the oil and gas law.  link

Mnt Goat   In the study of the recent Iraqi census taking...you can clearly see the recent census was a national census taken with the help of the United Nations (UN). The UN every so many decades takes a global census to determine the world’s population and demographics.  Iraq is also going to use this census as part of the Article 140 distribution of the Kurdistan monthly payments of oil revenues to the region from the GOI.  It will also help resolve part of the Oil and Gas law...Note, I did not say excess oil revenues or oil wealth distribution...This census taking has VERY LITTLE to do with the HCL individual Oil revenue sharing/distribution...   [Post 1 of 2]

Mnt Goat  So, now since the census is taken, the GOI can legally compensate and prove why they are compensating the amounts to the Kurds. This is really WOW! news for us today...you can see how this census results would also be useful in rebuilding the Iraqi economy besides Article 140 and HCl disputes. It was way overdue. This is yet another sign to us investors that Iraq is now serious about moving ahead.[Post 2 of 2]

Regarding Iraq's relations with Spain, he explained: "We are facing a distinguished stage in relations with Spain and there is a mutual desire to develop and advance them in all fields," adding: "Spain is part of the international coalition that helped us eliminate the terrorist ISIS, and based on our request, the mission of the international coalition will end within two years due to the lack of justification for its existence."

He said: "There are Spanish companies in Iraq, especially in the railway and transportation sector, and we are keen to have more companies for their efficiency and experience in implementing projects. We will sign several memoranda of understanding with Spain and there is a financial ceiling of 200 million euros to one billion euros to cover projects implemented by the Iraqi and Spanish private sectors."

Oil Falls After US Gasoline Stocks Rise

Energy   Economy News – Baghdad  Oil prices fell slightly in Asian trading on Thursday after a surprise jump in U.S. gasoline stocks ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday raised concerns about demand in the world's biggest fuel consumer.

Brent crude futures were down 4 cents, or 0.1 percent, at $72.79 a barrel by 02:20 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 1 cent at $68.71 a barrel.

Oil analysts had expected U.S. gasoline stocks to fall by 46,000 barrels last week, according to a Reuters poll ahead of the EIA report.

OPEC+ members are discussing a further delay to a planned oil output increase that was due to start in January, two sources from the producer group told Reuters on Tuesday.

Sudanese Advisor: The Government Has Taken Decisions That Grant Privileges To Investors

Political | 03:51 - 11/28/2024  Mawazine News - Baghdad -  The Prime Minister's Advisor for Industry and Private Sector Development, Hamoudi Al-Lami, announced that the government has taken decisions to grant privileges to investors, while indicating that the facilities include granting tax exemptions.

Al-Lami said in a speech at the Greek-Arab Economic Forum in Athens, that "Iraq, after the formation of the current government two years ago headed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, had one of its priorities to support the industrial sector, and the government has begun to implement this promise it made," noting that "the government has taken decisions, including activating Investment Law No. 13 of 2006, and additional amendments were made to it to grant more privileges to investors."

He added that "any production of the phosphate industry is accompanied by uranium production, and the investor can use the uranium to produce energy or sell it to power plants," noting that "the National Investment Law started with simple and specific investments in the construction sector and has now shifted to investing in the industrial sectors (chemical and petrochemical)."

Al-Lami stated that "the investor obtains full tax exemptions for importing production line equipment and raw materials."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=256998

Over Half Of US States Are Bleeding Cash And Going Broke

Over Half Of US States Are Bleeding Cash And Going Broke, Researchers Say — Here's Why And What It Means For You

Christy Bieber  Thu, November 28, 2024  Moneywise

Across the country, states aren't doing very well with their budgets. In fact, 27 U.S. states didn't have the money to pay their bills as of the end of fiscal year 2023, according to nonpartisan think tank Truth in Accounting. Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois and Massachusetts faced the biggest shortfalls per taxpayer.

"There are certainly tremendous challenges going forward," Oliver Giesecke, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, told CNBC in a report published Nov. 4.

There are several reasons why states might be struggling, but what it means for citizens is there's a very real risk of tax hikes and cuts to public services and benefits programs.

Here's what you need to know about the financial trouble states are finding themselves in — along with how this could impact you.

Federal Aid

Some states suffer from budgeting problems that were previously masked by federal assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts.

During the pandemic, the federal government significantly stepped up the money it was giving to states, totaling $800-plus billion, per the organization. This made it affordable for states to cut taxes and increase spending for a time.

"What we're seeing is largely a return to Earth from those pandemic surpluses," Justin Theal, a senior officer with The Pew Charitable Trusts, told CNBC. "A huge looming question out there is around the long-term affordability of the tax cuts and spending increases that were enacted."

The federal funds will dry up in 2026, according to the broadcaster, as much of the country is being hit by a cost-of-living crisis. Some state leaders are considering tax relief for this reason, which means some government programs could face big cuts.

State Pensions

The largest contributor to state debt at the end of fiscal year 2023 was unfunded retirement liabilities, Truth in Accounting reports. Around 86% of state and local government workers had access to a pension plan as of March 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Success Of The Economy Saves The Drowning Of Politics

Mahmoud Dagher:   At a time when some governments of the rentier system insist on expanding analyzes and political approaches and various elements of ideology, there is a decline in interest in the economics and management of depleted oil resources towards diversification in other governments, to the point where the interests of the economy and the well-being of the population take precedence over others, and the criterion for success becomes clamor.

Industry, agriculture, technology, and the accompanying development of human resources, versus whispers of politics and ideology.

 Such a conclusion is prompted by what Moody’s credit rating agency published regarding the new credit rating of the Saudi economy, which reached Aa3 with a stable outlook after eight years ago for this agency, it was A1 with a positive outlook for the future.

 It means an improvement in the state’s credit capacity, including its entry into the bond markets and the acceptance of its proposals. Financing and with lower interest.

 Rather, more importantly, Saudi banks and other financial institutions enjoy the advantage of the new classification after they could not market their financing except with the old classification because financial institutions cannot exceed the classification. State.

 Iraq, for example, is classified as B-, and therefore the highest at which its banks can be classified is the same classification or lower.

 It was noted a few months ago that the classification of the largest Iraqi bank, TBI, was downgraded.

 The macroeconomic credit rating and its changes depend on numerous economic and financial criteria reflected in the levels of financial and economic performance, including the

      level of public debt,

     growth rates, and

     improved private sector performance, as well as

     non-oil revenues and the

     performance of non-oil output.

The sum of these criteria leads to an improvement in the level of economic diversification of the rentier state under the classification.

 Which is the most important conclusion from the new classification of Saudi Arabia compared to other economies.

 The growth rates of non-oil production sectors have increased, expectedly, to 4-5%, in addition to the non-oil revenues reaching about 40% in total public revenues. In fact, Saudi Arabia’s non-oil exports grew by 22% for the month of September 2024, and such results lead to an increase in the share of The output of the private sector in Saudi GDP, which is expected for the latter to grow up to 4.7%.

The high rating of the Saudi economy is attributed to a long-term economic path of diversification transformation that is considered the mainstay of long-term growth, as well as the tangible approach to independence from the oil crises.

Providing economic interests towards higher prosperity is what leads to the easing of political and ideological tension, despite its presence in our region that floats on oil and the problems associated with it. 

 Yes, improving the performance of the economy is a way to save yourself from the drowning of politics.
