Ghana army says 7 illegal miners killed in firefight at AngloGold Ashanti mine
About 60 illegal miners carrying locally manufactured rifles and other weapons breached the Obuasi mine's security fence.
An organisation operating out of Dillon in Nevada has been formed as “Jewelers for Japan” to raise funds for the thousands of victims in Japan and it is asking jewelers and consumers to donate scrap gold and silver jewellery in lieu of cash.
The refiner Rio Grande in Albuquerque, New Mexico will refine the gold and silver scrap without a fee with all proceeds going directly to the American Red Cross.
