Moto Gold Mines (ASX:MTO) believes it is now on the radar of every major gold producer in the world following further exceptional results in the Democratic Republic of Congo.The extensive exploration programme in the north east of the central African country has produced results with the potential to add another two to three million ounces to its existing resource base."These results are different because it is in a new area of the overall ore body which has never been drilled before and it proves to everyone around the planet what a world class resource we have," said Klaus Eckhof, Moto Goldmines Limited Managing Director.Down-plunge drilling on the Karagba Prospect has intercepted significant gold mineralisation at depth, including 5.19 grams at 118 metres and 5.85 grams per tonne gold at 20 metres."The drilling to date highlights the size of this ore body and even surpasses our own expectations, with a strike length of more than 200 metres, a thickness greater than 100 metres and a potential down plunge length of more than 450 metres," Mr Eckhof said. The deposit is unique, accessible and valuable because it is an easy to mine flat-lying ore body with minimum overburden. "The economics are looking really good and every time we drill a new area we are getting great numbers and this is just adding value to the company," he said.Moto is also drilling at Kombokolo, where a first pass reconnaissance programme has returned significant intercepts from all 11 shallow holes drilled, including 6.19 grams per tonne of gold at 10 metres. "These new drilling results will help to upgrade our resource base which will be announced in the next ten days to in excess of 8 million ounces by August / September 2005," Mr Eckhof said.For Further information: Klaus Eckhof 041-1148 209, Thomas Murrell, 8M Media & Communications 0417 - 984 996.
Gold Digger And Proud Of It
I am a gold digger in the best sense of the word.
I actually go out and dig for gold.
Real gold, with a shovel.
In fact, I mined the gold for my own wedding ring.
Here's how it happened.
Right after I had graduated from college I took a week off to go camping at the American River in Northern California with my now wife.
We had been doing gold mining as a hobby for about four years at this point.
I took my gold pans and other equipment and headed off.
The weather was pleasant and it's always beautiful to camp right on a river.
Enjoying the camp fire at night, the sound of the water lulling you to sleep.
Camping is always a treat.
The gold mining itself happened a short distance away.
I would start the day off getting up when I pleased, cook breakfast, and be on the water ready for mining by about 10AM.
I'm not an early riser.
For the mining...
White Gold vs. Platinum Wedding Bands
Part of the beauty of an engagement is choosing a wedding band. With today's choices, a couple has far more options than ever before. Yellow gold will always be a timeless classic, but wedding bands, just like the times, are changing. Today's most popular options are white gold or platinum. There is an assumption that because of the same, shiny, whitish color, both metals are equivalent.
However, that could not be further from the truth.
A white gold ring is an alloy of regular gold combined with other metals such as silver and palladium or nickel. Part of what makes white gold look almost identical to platinum is a finishing process that occurs when the ring is being made. The white gold ring is finished with a coating of Rhodium, a metal that shares many of Platinum's properties. While white gold is naturally a light shade of gray or has a slight yellow tint because of the natural color of gold, the Rhodium coating gives the completed ring a sparkly white color....

Gold Prices
The gold price fluctuates according to the growth in demand for jewelry. Nowadays, people the world over are investing more money in gold jewelry than before, as investing in gold is termed a solid asset.
This increase leads to an increase in gold prices.
One factor that has an impact on the gold price is the weakening of the U.S. dollar. The fear that the U.S.
dollar will continue to weaken has led to individuals investing in gold, and this in turn has led to the increase of the gold price. With the rise of oil prices, there has been a rise in inflationary pressures globally. As inflation is erosion on the value of money, people tend to move their money into stable, real assets like gold, giving a hike in gold prices. Even the threat of terrorist attacks change the gold price as investors diversify into assets of good store value like gold. This is because though an attack on the U.S.
may cripple the economy lowering stock and property prices, it...

Earthquakes in the ?Ring of Fire? Validate Prophecies
The latest Pacific earthquake was located in Indonesia, a country of 17,000 islands that make up the so-called Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean basin where plate boundaries intersect and volcanoes regularly erupt. Although scientists cannot predict exactly when seismic events will occur, seismologists had predicted Monday's quake. In the March 17 issue of the journal Nature, researchers at the University of Ulster-Coleraine in Northern Ireland reported that stress was building in the Sumatran subduction zone as well as in the adjacent Sunda Trench. They warned that the stress was likely to be released in another seismic event. The faults are part of the Pacific "ring of fire," where continental plates grind against each other and spark periodic seismic shocks.
The Ring of Fire has been quoted in many prophesies as being the first indicator of the end times when the geologic upheaval begin to increase in frequency. Over the last century, we have seen many severe earthquakes,...
