California Gold Rush
California Gold Rush
The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California.
All in all, the news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad.
The gold-seekers, called “forty-niners” (as a reference to 1849), often faced substantial hardships on the trip. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the Gold Rush attracted tens of thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and China. At first, the prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning.

Gold price
Today’s precious metals market was somewhat mixed with gold up $18 per ounce to a record of $1900 per ounce. But at the same time, silver and palladium were both down.
So, even with the government intervention in the commodities future markets in the last few weeks, all that was accomplished was a minor pullback in precious metals that actually created a great buying opportunity.it was just about a week ago, actually it was onAugust 30, 2011 where I wrote that gold (gold price) had just gone over $1800 per ounce.
Well, it may not happen immediately, but the strong momentum behind the upward gold move would seem to indicate the likelihood that by year’s end the spot gold price will be over $2000 per ounce!

The Perth gold mint’s foundation stone was laid in 1896. It is now owned by Gold Corporation which is wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia.
Up to 2000, the Mint’s refined gold output totaled 4,500 tonnes, representing 3.25% of the total weight of gold produced by humankind. This is about the current holdings of gold bullion in the United States Mint’s Fort Knox Bullion Depository.
Today, the Mint continues to provide refining and other services to the gold industry and manufactures many coin related numismatic items for investors and coin collectors. It is responsible for manufacturing and marketing most of Australia’s legal tender precious metal coins, including proof quality Australian Nugget gold coins.
