🇨🇳 China Strikes Gold: 300-Ton Deposit Found
China has discovered a significant gold deposit valued at $83 billion in its central Hunan province. According to state media Xinhua, geologists identified over 40 gold veins containing 330 tons of gold within the Wangu gold field, reaching depths of 6,500 feet.
The discovery could substantially increase China's gold production, which currently represents 10% of global output. The Hunan Academy of Geology suggests even greater potential, estimating reserves could exceed 1,100 tons at depths beyond 10,000 feet.

📈 Economy's Strength Prompts Fed to Rethink Rate Cut Plans
Strong economic indicators and anticipated policy shifts have led some Federal Reserve officials to recalibrate its interest rate strategy. Officials now signal fewer potential rate cuts in 2025, citing robust economic performance and resilience.
This adjusted stance could impact borrowing costs across mortgages, auto loans, and business financing, as the Fed prioritizes economic stability over aggressive rate reductions.
📉 UK Economic Struggles Send Pound to Six-Month Low
The British pound has fallen to its lowest dollar value since May, driven by deteriorating economic conditions. Business activity contracted in November — the first decline in over a year — while October retail sales disappointed expectations.
This economic weakness may force the Bank of England to consider more aggressive monetary easing than initially planned, marking a stark contrast with the U.S. economic outlook.
At GoldSilver, we make buying metals simple and secure:
In a new forecast, Goldman Sachs strategist Samantha Dart projects gold prices to surge to $3,000 per ounce by late 2025. Dart’s analysis cites unprecedented central bank purchasing as the key catalyst, with institutional buying reshaping the precious metals landscape.
This forecast aligns with recent trends. Since 2022, central banks around the world drastically increased their gold reserves, with the highest level of net purchases in decades.
For investors watching this potential upside, today's prices may offer an attractive entry point to build or expand your precious metals position.
Congratulations to last week’s trivia winner. The mineral that used to trade ounce for ounce with gold was salt.
In ancient civilizations, salt was not just a seasoning but a vital preservative for food, enabling people to store meat and other perishables in an era without refrigeration. The word "salary" even derives from the Latin "salarium," meaning "salt money," as Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt rations. Trade routes like the famous "Salt Road" in Africa were established specifically for salt commerce, and it was so rare and valuable that it was literally worth its weight in gold.
Now, back to this week’s question... Approximately how many people came to California during the Gold Rush?
