imaginary gold: resources and reserves, page-4

Rowingboat, Australia has  an extraordinary quantity of gold in the ground, does that affect the dollar?The issue that cuts the mustard when cash is king is the sale of the mineral- be it gold, iron ore, fertiliser or uranium. To sell it you have to mine it.The KNOWLEDGE that it is in the ground has a value to aknown producer, but it has little value in a market where finance is difficult and many miners are seeking the same POTENTIAL market.CTO will improve in value when it mines and sells- until then hypotheses and postulations will be irrelevant.
