“I HATE to say this…. But the banking crash Jim Rickards, Jim Rogers, Ray Dallio and I have been warning you about has started. Even if you have very little money you may still be able to profit from this crash. All you need is a few extra dollars…. Because you can still afford to buy a few real silver coins… before silver double[s] and triple[s],” Kiyosaki wrote.

“Those who are caught short physical metal are looking around and seeing a window closing here,” he said. They’re “desperately seeking physical metal before the price could jump overnight.”

A Malian court has adjourned to Thursday a hearing on whether to put Barrick Mining’s Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex under provisional administration, the court’s registry office and one of the lawyers involved told Reuters on Monday.
Granting the request would represent a major escalation of a dispute between the West African country and the Canadian miner after operations at the complex were suspended in January in a dispute over taxes and ownership.
Barrick has said it can only resume operations when the Malian government removes restrictions on gold exports.
The government has renegotiated agreements with other multinational miners under the new mining law. Four Barrick employees have been detained since November 2024 and an arrest warrant was issued for Chief Executive Mark Bristow in December 2024.
