Troilus Gold brings potential funding from ECAs to $1.3 billion
The company has signed an additional LOI with Export Development Canada worth $300 million.
Arizona’s governor vetoed Thursday the legislation to make gold and silver legal tender in the state, reports Reuters.
Jan Brewer said approving the measure could cause the state to lose tax revenue. Additionally, businesses that buy and sell collectible coins and currency would have an unfair tax advantage.
The state legislature voted in the regulation during April which would have made gold and silver coins, as well as bullion, legal as currency in mid-2014.
Brewer said it was unclear what the resulting burdens would be for taxpayers and the state revenue department. It was also vague whether the law would require the state to exempt transactions involving collectible coins authorized by Congress and used as legal tender.
