Peter Krauth:

 

"No two bull markets are ever the same, and gold is no exception.

 

"During the last secular gold bull market in the 1970s, gold rose from $35 in 1968 all the way to $200 by late 1974.

 

"Then the unthinkable happened. Between late 1974 and mid-1976, gold prices were cut in half, dropping from about $200 to $100.

 

"At the time, many gold investors sold out in disgust, never to return.

 

"But then a funny thing occurred. Gold prices started to climb again, rising from $100 in mid-1976 all the way to $800 by January 1980.

 

"And anyone who was fortunate enough to own gold at $35 earned better than 20 times their investment in just 12 years.

International group Human Rights Watch said Tuesdaythe Eritrean government has been using forced labour to construct a gold mine, in a joint venture with Canadian Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX: NSU).

 

According to the report, the Vancouver-based miner failed to ensure that forced labour was not used in the construction of its African Bisha gold project.

 

The 29-page document, Hear No Evil: Forced Labour and Corporate Responsibility in Eritrea’s Mining Sector, describes how mining companies working in Eritrea risk involvement with the government’s widespread exploitation of forced labour. It also documents how Nevsun – the first company to develop an operational mine in Eritrea – initially failed to take those risks seriously, and then struggled to address allegations of abuse connected to its operations. ...
