Markets now just a function of the dollar, Art Cashin tells King World News

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Zero Hedge's Tyler Durden again today takes an interview at King World News -- this time with CNBC commentator and UBS executive Art Cashin -- as the text for his own market commentary. Zero Hedge puts it this way: "Through its endless meddling, intervention, and manipulation over the past two years, the Fed has essentially broken the market."

That sounds pretty close to what participants at GATA's Washington conference 2 1/2 years ago heard: "There are no markets anymore, just interventions":

Sona Resources Expects Positive Cash Flow from Blackdome,
Plans Aggressive Exploration of Elizabeth Gold Property

On May 18, 2010, Sona Resources Corp. (TSXV: SYS, Frankfurt: QS7) announced the release of a preliminary economic assessment for gold production at its flagship Blackdome and Elizabeth properties in British Columbia.

Sona Executive Chairman Nick Ferris says: "We view this as a baseline scenario for gold production. The project is highly sensitive to the price of gold. A conservative valuation of gold at $1,093 per ounce would result in a pre-tax cash flow of $54 million. The assessment indicates that underground mining at the two sites would recover 183,600 ounces of gold and 62,500 ounces of silver. Permitting and infrastructure are already in place for processing ore at the Blackdome mill, with a 200-tonne per day throughput over an eight-year mine life. Our near-term goal is to continue aggressive exploration at Elizabeth and develop a million-plus-ounce gold resource, commencing production in 2013."
