Ann: Updated Acquisition of Wudinna Gold Project, page-9

the situation in the US is something amazing - ATH in indices and leading stocks.

Yes but as we both know, peer under the car bonnet and all is not as it seems. For one thing the fabulous seven is now two.

Stock buybacks, cost cutting by layoffs, those are under the bonnet and giving false signals to the punters.
I'm wary of salesmen in used car lots.

There's a decent chance they are setting this up for monumental crash because the big money has been offloading riskier assets onto the used car lot which is why the highs. And deploying catchy slogans like TACO.

I can't see them being able to prop up Trump much longer, and also the situation with Long term US bonds is dire. They're patching it up.
Musk is carrying on like a jilted lover, and he's playing a dangerous game it's amusing to see it play out as he has the Epstein files I'd say almost certainly as he had full data access via DOGE to all agencies including the FBI. I think they could be lining Vance up to take over and Bessent seems to be hell bent on making some nasty choices on the USD future. Bessent is the real player here for the big money Vance has NFI he's a yes-man.

I do not see how Australia is going to do well if we are exposed to the USD and our bank liquidity to international sources as we currently are except that we are a serious producer of gold. Because the Americans seem to be lining this up to have a massive devaluation event to wipe the debt. It's a game of chicken because the US is the world's biggest market no question. And Bessent is locking in trade deals as a protection racket against tariffs. It's an extremely complex situation and so many moves going on in the shadows it's hard to keep up. Bessent correctly figures China is in a worse position than they're letting on which is why they signed up on RE deals and more. Xi seems to be largely out of the picture he's taking orders from a special committee but kept in place for continuity and face saving. Ditto Trump who shows clear signs of dementia.

OK the US can shore up but only to a point. The colossal debt and just gets massively higher with the BB Bill. I choke on the deceptive title but worthy of a lemon in a used car lot.

On a more concrete level debt is to be avoided and Scanlon sees this well. Gold and now silver is going to be huge IMO much more so than previously thought. When we are selling more I wonder which currency we will use and how prices will be set?
I'm assuming Scanlon and team will minimise future sales for good reason. These guys are good. Wish I had more BGD.

Edit; of course when you are a gold producer as the environment deteriorates it becomes easier to raise capital. Axiomatic.
