    “This was an audacious raid which had been carefully planned and executed,” prosecutor Shan Saunders said. “But those responsible were not careful enough, leaving a trail of evidence in the form of forensics, CCTV footage and phone data.”

    The purloined potty was stolen just days after its installation. It has never been recovered but is believed to have been cut up and sold.

    Jones, 39, was convicted of burglary in Oxford Crown Court.

    The theft was planned by James Sheen, 40, who previously pleaded guilty to burglary, conspiracy and transferring criminal property.

    Doe, 36, also known as Frederick Sines, was convicted of conspiracy to transfer criminal property.

    A fourth man charged in the conspiracy, Bora Guccuk, 41, was acquitted by jurors.

    Central bank gold buying and global trade tensions are likely to push bullion prices to near $5,000 an ounce by 2028, billionaire investor John Paulson said in an interview during which he reinforced his commitment to U.S. mining projects

    Already the largest shareholder in Idaho gold and antimony developer Perpetua Resources, Paulson last week bought a 40% stake in NovaGold’s Donlin gold project in Alaska from Barrick.

    “It’s a well-informed prediction. I think that’s a reasonable number,” he said.

    “As central banks and people look to put their money in a more stable source… I think gold will increase its position in the world,” he added

    Prices of platinum, a white precious metal, have rallied over 30% this year to date, with spot prices currently around $1,200 per ounce. Spot gold prices are around 27% higher over the same period.

    “Rising gold prices are incentivising jewellers to diversify, in what represents a change to historical patterns.”

    The BofA analysts wrote that even a 1% switch in gold to platinum jewelry could help double the white metal’s supply deficit to 1.6 million ounces.

    News is from 1/14/2025
    This is a follow up on Barrick Gold and it’s current mining situation.

    Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) today confirmed that the company remains restricted from shipping gold from the Loulo-Gounkoto mining complex in Mali. Additionally, the interim attachment order on the gold has now been executed by the Malian government by moving the existing gold stock from the site to a custodial bank, further preventing the shipment and sale of the gold.

    As a result, Barrick has regrettably initiated the temporary suspension of operations while it continues to work towards a resolution.

    Barrick remains committed to constructive engagement with the Malian government and all stakeholders to find an amicable solution that ensures the long-term sustainability of the Loulo-Gounkoto mining complex and its vital contribution to Mali’s economy and communities.

    Vicuña Corp, a joint venture of Australia’s BHP and Canada’s Lundin Mining (LUN.TO), opens new tab, on Thursday said it was extending the useful life of its Josemaria copper, gold and silver project in Argentina by six years.

    It attributed the longer useful life of the mine, now 25 years instead of 19 years previously, to higher levels of exploitable resources.

    Vicuña also predicted an ore processing rate at the site, located in Argentina’s north-western San Juan province, near the Chilean border, at 175,000 metric tons per day.
