I wasn't going to post on this thread, I kind of wanted to see where it was going to go.
Harold, as usual, you have put things into perspective in a way that leaves little room for the OP to maneuver. I don't believe they understand what it is they seem to be proposing.
To the OP, David:
I was very active in the international trade arena for over 10 years and have conducted international trade deals for over 20.
When you are attempting to broker a deal, you need to understand the market better than what you have displayed here in this thread. Because it's painfully obvious that you are just a broker, and probably in a long line of brokers all passing along the same exact deal, which is not real. Let me be clear on this point, the transaction you are offering is not real. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I have heard about this exact type of gold deal, and always being offered by a broker, not an actual mining company.
Your company in fact has nothing to do with any mining anywhere in the world, and I state that with confidence backed by my own international trade experience. You are a broker, nothing more, and not even a very good broker as far as brokers are concerned. You are attempting to present yourself as being a mining company, which is also not true. Your not even a trade company. Allow me to bring your attention to this post, on this website:

I would like to point out the name of the company offering this particular trade deal.
I can also tell you that you were never able to transact that particular deal, and I can tell you why, the procedures are incorrect, no bank would conduct the trade deal based on those procedures. Number 1 on your procedures list states that buyer does this, and seller does that. Those documents are NEVER, not EVER transferred from buyer to seller or seller to buyer, they are sent bank to bank only, and even at that, only between one of the top 10 world trade banks. I could continue but there really is no point. Best to just state the obvious, you are a broker operating as the business stated in your original post, and nothing more than that.
By the way, are you based out of Tennessee?
Anyway, before you go off half cocked and attempt to transact an international trade deal of any nature, you should understand the market, and how these types of deals are transacted. And if you want to continue on this particular forum, I would suggest that you go out of your way to be honest in your next post, and state exactly what it is you are attempting to do, and be honest about your business. If not, I have a sneaky suspicion that you will end up getting banned.
And tell the broker who is pretending to be the sellers mandate, or next to the seller, or next to the person next to the seller, that the deal is fake, that you know it's fake, and if they want to prove it's real to put you in direct contact with the company making the offer. Sign an NCNDA and a Brokers Agreement to get them out of the way, and the next broker, and every other broker in the long chain of brokers you don't seem to realize you are part of. And I can almost promise you that sooner or later you will end up right back in the lap of one of the brokers offering this same exact deal. Or if not, the end of the line will be some office in some West African country spitting out fake transactions like this so that they can get you to give them a copy of a LOC, so they can then use that information to scam someone else out of something.
If you were not so blatantly lying about who you are, or who your company is suppose to be, I might feel sorry for you. But the fact you are lying really bothers me.
