It is neither a liquidity issue or a solvency issue

It is valuation issue.
Until that gold is actually mined there will be doubt it is there and/or it can be profitably mined. What happens if mining costs rise by 1000%

The problem with the banks/brokers is that there is ample evidence what the 'real value' of the securities are, they and the Fed just refuse to mark the book there.

The securities have finite life especially when defaults rise so the end is near. At some point the real value will come out.

At 30x leverage and 50% of Wall Street revenues gone forever (while 75% of the expenses are still there), I'm not too optimistic.

I would disagree with Mish slightly, I think your gold mine could be undervalued, but not at full NPV due to the reasons he gave.
