Hi Richard,that is a great collection of gold countries! Do you think their collective disposable holding is 10 tons?I could as well add my deposit boxes content,but then that is not on the market yet either.:-)

Until this uncertain short situation is out of the way, there will be a lot of private gold withheld, some of which might have reached the trade channels at the $300-320 level in normal times.Now everyone (me included)is waiting for this magic $600-800 level before the selling temptation sets in again.Multiply that by a million people!

> 1. Some in South / Central America - but not much left

Some decent amount still there. Venezuela has 10moz, Brazil has 5moz

> 2. Canada - but INHO very only limited amounts

Canada is well under 2 million ounces

> 3. Iceland, but only maybe

Kidding, right ?? They have 2mt, about 60,000 ounces ( about 8 hours worth of primary world gold mine production )

> 4. some smaller southern African countries

Don't think they hold much gold reserves.

> 5. RUSSIA - but most above ground gold may already be sold - long gone

Hard to figure what they have, first they sold almost all of it off, then started buying it back (like Poland). They probably have about 15moz.
