Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Even if you weren't able to reserve a spot at GATA's
Gold Rush 21 conference in Dawson City, Yukon,
Canada, from August 7-9, you can bid now for a
valuable souvenir of what we plan to make a historic
event.

Agnico-Eagles Mines Ltd., a sponsor of GR21, is
donating to us 10 Johnson-Matthew numbered
1-ounce gold wafers and we'll be auctioning them
in Dawson to raise money.

Samex Mining Corp., host as well as a sponsor
of the conference, has prepared certificates to be
issued with each wafer to testify to their connection
to GR21.

Samex also has started the auction for the gold
wafers, entering bids for all of them at US$750 each.

You can see the gold wafers and a sample
certificate at the GATA Internet site here:

http://www.gata.org/Agnico.html

To enter a bid, just e-mail it to me at
GATAComm@aol.com. Please include your
name, postal address, and telephone number
as well as your bid. As long as your bid tops
Samex's opening bid of US$750, it will be
registered in the auction for each coin in
Dawson.

Thanks so much to Agnico-Eagle and Samex
for giving us this fund-raising opportunity.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
