China will keep importing Gold even as the country’s output of the metal rises, according to Commerzbank…analysts cite a recent report from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology which projected the country’s Gold supply and Gold demand up to the year 2020. “According to its figures, Gold production is set to increase from 450 tonnes last year to 520 tonnes in 2020,” Commerzbank noted. “Gold demand is expected to grow during the same period from 986 tonnes to 1,200 tonnes, which points to high Chinese Gold imports in the long-term. After all, there is obviously a big gap between supply and demand in China, with demand growth set to outpace supply growth in the projection period.”
Russia and Kazakhstan continued to boost their Gold reserves in September, data from the International Monetary Fund showed yesterday:
- Russia raised Gold holdings by 16.5 tonnes to 1,542.7 tonnes
- Kazakhstan raised Gold holdings by 4.1 tonnes to 248.2 tonnes

CLE – any ideas as to how CLE’s samples ranging from 54 to a high of 344ppm Li2o compare to the grade of 1.57% at NMX and a cutoff of 0.43%. Depths at NMX range from 28-300+M per recent infill drilling.
