The price of scam gold miner stocks do not follow gold prices - the share price is a product of PRs and promotions, and independent of gold prices. This company will never mine an ounce of gold but they sure have talked about it a lot......

Russia Buying Gold To Diversify Reserves

Posted 9 hours ago

Russian President Vladimir Putin is developing a taste for gold.

With all of its income from selling oil, Russia is diversifying its reserves by buying massive amounts of gold, said William Rhind, CEO of the World Gold Trust Services.

Of all the central banks that make their reserve actions public, Russia has been the “largest, most active” gold accumulator, he explained. Still, Rhind said, the “elephant in the room” is how much gold China is buying, as Beijing does not publish these figures.

A recent report from the World Gold Council showed that many central banks, including Russia’s, have beefed up their gold reserves. This investment, the report suggested, was “driven by a number of factors including a continued diversification away from the U.S. dollar and the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions.”
Still, Rhind explained that the move towards gold buying does not represent a new trend for global currencies.
