The financial war between Russia with China's tacit backing on one side, and America and her NATO allies on the other has escalated rapidly. It appears that President Putin was thinking several steps ahead when he launched Russia's attack on Ukraine.

We have seen sanctions fail. We have seen Russia achieve record export surpluses. We have seen the rouble become the strongest currency on the foreign exchanges.

I-80 Gold Discovers High-Grade
Silver-Rich Mineralization At Ruby Hill in Nevada

Company Announcement
Tuesday, August 30, 2022

RENO, Nevada -- I-80 Gold Corp.  (TSX:IAU, NYSE:IAUX) announces that high-grade, silver-rich, polymetallic CRD mineralization has been discovered in drilling the Hilltop target at the company’s 100%-owned Ruby Hill Property in Eureka County, Nevada.

Highlight results from initial drilling at the Hilltop target:

iRH22-25 (lower horizon) – four intercepts:

-- 671.0 g/t Ag, 7.7 % Zn, and 26.4 % Pb over 0.9 m (19.6 oz/ton silver -- 3.0 ft).

-- 238.8 g/t Ag, 11.0 % Zn, and 9.0 % Pb over 9.4 m (7.0 oz/ton Ag -- 31.0 ft).

-- 469.5 g/t Ag, 11.8 % Zn, and 18.2 % Pb over 2.1 m (13.7 oz/ton Ag -- 7.0 ft).

-- 1,006.0 g/t Ag, 10.9 % Zn, 27.7 % Pb, and 1.6 % Cu over 0.9 m (29.4 oz/ton Ag -- 3.0 ft).

iRH22-43 (upper horizon):

-- 515.3 g/t Ag, 28.9 % Pb, 10.5 % Zn, and 0.9 g/t Au over 28.3 m (15.0 oz/ton Ag – 92.5 ft).

Additionally, two historic holes in the Hilltop target area contain significant intercepts:

HC1427 (lower horizon):

-- 769.2 g/t Ag, 12.4 % Zn, 13.9 % Pb, and 1.0 % Cu over 5.8 m (22.4 oz/ton Ag – 19.0 ft).

BRH-22 (upper horizon):

-- 929.7 g/t Ag and  21.6 % Pb over 4.6 m (27.1 oz/ton Ag – 15.0 ft).

The Hilltop target is one of five conceptual exploration targets drilled in the 2022 program at Ruby Hill and was identified for its potential to host polymetallic (silver-lead-zinc) mineralization. The new zone of mineralization is located approximately 400 meters southwest of the poly-metallic Blackjack Zone and immediately south of the Archimedes pit and the planned portal that the company is advancing for construction. ...

“At current metal prices, the rock value of the initial drill intercepts in the Hilltop Zone represent some of the highest-grade mineralization identified, on a per-tonne basis, to date at Ruby Hill," said Ewan Downie, CEO of I-80. "Given its proximity to the underground infrastructure planned in 2023, this zone is expected to fit in to our future development and mine plans such that we ultimately expect to produce gold, silver, and base metals." ...

We are seeing the West enter a new round of European monetary inflation to pay everyone's energy bills. The euro, yen, and sterling are already collapsing -- the dollar will be next. From Putin's point of view, so far, so good.

Russia has progressed her power over Asian nations, including populous India and Iran. She has persuaded Middle Eastern oil and gas producers that their future lies with Asian markets, not Europe. She is subsidising Asia's industrial revolution with discounted energy. Thanks to the West's sanctions, Russia is on its way to confirming Halford Mackinder's predictions made over a century ago that Russia is the true geopolitical centre of the world.

There is one piece in Putin's jigsaw yet to be put in place: a new currency system to protect Russia and her allies from an approaching Western monetary crisis. This article argues that under cover of the West's geopolitical ineptitude, Putin is now assembling a new gold-backed multi-currency system by combining plans for a new Asian trade currency with his new Moscow World Standard for gold. ...
