1. Assuring debt repayment

2. Financing

There is a huge difference. Of course. On one hand there is paying the money back and on the other hand there is getting the money that you have to pay back.

We can see that they are worlds apart. Sorry for the egregious error. How silly of me not to see this. Forget the term "gold loan". That was in the dark ages.

So from Tinker to Evers to Chance, if the Bullion bank failed to get its money from its parties, and the CB's are forced by the governments NOT to accept shares as we see Germany and England's CB's doing, what happens?

Do you think the government/CB will accept the Bullion Bank's shares when the gold is not forthcoming? Are Northgate's shares not attachable?

Are you saying that Northgate got its money completely unsecured? The Bullion Bank would do this? You saw the terms of the deal in toto?

Postscript

>>failure to complete the deal on the terms arranged will occur only if it is to NGX's disadvantage.

What this means is that NGX's risk is in the downside of gold. If the price of gold goes up, NGX will close their hedges at the prearranged price that includes the contango.

It is in the unlikely event of bullion bank failure to complete the deal when gold prices are very much lower, that NGX could be at risk, having lost the advantage of the hedge.
