I have put together these nos. from many of the links posted here and on other threads. I have referenced by number (1-8) where I got the figures. Also, I used 32,400 troy oz./ tonne as a conversion factor. All nos. for gold are in millions of troy
ounces.

Also, somewhere I read that the total available
of the CB 903.6M supply for lease, due to respective country constitution/laws, was about
45% of the 903.6M or approx. 450M. I was unable to relocate that reference. If someone remembers where it is could they let me know. |
