Tropicana looks golden

The most significant Australian gold discovery, Tropican Gold project is on target for first production in 2013. At this week’s Diggers and Dealers forum Graham Ehm, AngloGold Ashanti executive vice president has highlighted the importance of jewellery to the gold market. “I don’t need to tell you gold is going through a remarkable period – last month the gold price hit an all-time high of $1600 fuelled by persistent concerns about European sovereign debt and a stalemate in US deficit plan negotiations,” he said.
