BUYER
PROFILE

"What We Purchase"
We purchase GLD-compliant
gold only, without inspection
or assay, sold under full
banking responsibility of the
Seller's Bank. Closings are
conducted, bank-to-bank, via
bank screens - or, possibly,
via an "in-bank" closing in
the Seller's Bank - as the
Seller's Bullion Officer & the
Buyer's Bullion Officer deem
appropriate.

We are a leading Gold Purchasing Group PROFESSIONAL,

RELIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE - and one of the largest buyers of
GLD-compliant metal in the world. We work closely with a
prominent International Investment Consortium and have very
considerable financial resources at our disposal.

We will purchase all the Sellers GLD inventory on offer. Any bullion
amounts large or small. Stored anywhere in the world. Whatever
quantities Sellers can provide. Maximum tranche size 200 Metric
Tons Au per week until the Sellers stock is exhausted.

We purchase gold bullion privately for our own investment portfolio

only. We are not gold traders, dealers, sellers or re-sellers. The
Seller's product will not be sold forward.

We regularly delegate our position as Buyer to various top 25

world-ranked Banks. This means that Sellers close with a major
Purchasing Bank as "Buyer of Record". For a Seller seeking a
reliable & financially capable Buyer this is a tremendous benefit.

The Au metal must be held, FOB-ready, in Seller's bank-controlled

storage or market-accepted GLD security facility and sold under
Full Banking Responsibility of the Seller's Bank. Bullion Officerto-Bullion Officer. We do not lift the stock; transfer of title only.

The closing procedures are left to the Seller's Bullion Officer and
the Buyer's Bullion Officer to determine: normally, a "bank-to-bank"
closing (or a "desk-to-desk" closing, as the case may be), via bank
screens - as the Bullion Officers deem appropriate.

"Bank-to-Bank" Responsibility

CLOSING
PROCEDURES
Bullion Officer
to
Bullion Officer

Transactions are conducted under full banking responsibility

and scrutiny, promptly and efficiently, utilizing Bank Bullion
Officers and "bank-screen" closings - and major, world Banks.
The Buyer will "proof-up" first, via a "bank-to-bank" call, prior to the
formal contract-signing.

"Bank-to-Bank"
Responsibility

Full Corporate Offer: The Seller submits a Full Corporate Offer

confirming the Sellers offer of gold for sale under full banking
responsibility of the Seller's Bank.

UP-FRONT "POF" BANK CALL

PRIOR TO CONTRACT-SIGNING

Pre-Contract POF Bank Call: The Buyer issues a written invitation

to the Seller authorizing the Seller's Bank Officer to contact the
Buyer's Bank Officer for verification of the Buyer's financial capacity.
SPA/IMFPA: The Buyer and Seller approve the language of the
Sale & Purchase Agreement. An IMFPA is appended to the SPA
and forms an integral part of the Agreement.
===
STEP 1: The Seller's Bank Officer, by pre-arrangement, contacts the
Buyer's Coordinating Bank Officer and confirms that the Buyer has
sufficient funds to purchase the Seller's Au metal.

"Cooperation of Sellers"
Keep in mind that we are one
of the very few Purchasing
Groups financially qualified
to purchase "large-volume"
quantities of gold bullion:
200 MT Au a week, until the
Seller's stock is exhausted.
To purchase GLD assets on
this scale, though, requires
the cooperation of Sellers
who are willing to comply
fully with our procedures.

STEP 2: The Buyer and Seller sign the SPA electronically and lodge
the fully executed contract with their respective Banks.
STEP 3: The Seller, as soon as practicable, provides the Buyer with
a Bank Letter from the Seller's Bank. The Bank Letter is addressed to
the Seller and invites the Buyer's Bullion Officer to contact the Seller's
Bullion Officer to conduct the POF/POP exchange and conclude the
transaction under full banking responsibility.
STEP 4: The Buyer assigns its position in the SPA to their Purchasing
Bank, a "top 25" world-ranked Bank. The contracted parties to the
SPA/IMFPA are now the Seller and the Purchasing Bank. A copy of
the Assignment Contract is provided to the Seller/Seller's Bank.
STEP 5: The Purchasing Bank's Bullion Officer contacts the Seller's
Bullion Officer to conclude the transaction. The Bullion Officers
conduct the POF/POP exchange and close the transaction in such
manner as they deem appropriate: normally on a "bank-to-bank" basis
(or a "desk-to-desk", basis, as the case may be), via bank screens.
The transaction is concluded on the following "bank-to-bank" basis:

FAST-TRACK
PROCEDURES

The purchase of Au metal is closed between the Seller's Bank and the
Purchasing Bank on a "payment-against-delivery" ("transfer of title") basis.

The Au metal will be transferred into the Purchasing Banks full title upon a
direct bank-to-bank cash payment to the Seller for the exact quantity of Au
metal purchased within each Lift.

The payment of the initial Lift and all subsequent Lifts (including via rolls &
extensions, if any) will be made by the Purchasing Bank against delivery in
cleared funds via SWIFT (or "ledger-to-ledger", as the case may be) to the
Seller's nominated bank account.

Consultancy fees in the IMFPA will be paid simultaneously by the Purchasing

Bank upon closure of each and every Lift, including rolls & extensions if any.

To expedite the closing, the Parties can dispense with the preliminary
paperwork and proceed directly to contract. Keep in mind that the
objective is to put the Buyer's Bullion Officer in contact with the
Seller's Bullion Officer. Once the Bank Bullion Officers are
communicating together - THE DEAL IS DONE.

CLOSING PROCESS
"AT-A-GLANCE"
FIVE (5)
SIMPLE STEPS

We are organized and disciplined Buyers. W e can purchase a Seller's

inventory very speedily, regardless of size - in a matter of a few short
days from initial contract-signing thru to final closing:
1. The Seller's Bank Officer, by pre-arrangement, contacts the
Buyer's Coordinating Bank Officer and confirms the Buyer's
financial capability to purchase the Seller's product.
2. The Buyer and Seller sign the SPA (which includes the IMFPA).
3. The Seller, as soon as practicable, provides a Bank Letter inviting
the Buyer's Bullion Officer to contact the Seller's Bullion Officer to
conclude the transaction under full banking responsibility.
4. The Buyer assigns the SPA to their Purchasing Bank, a "top 25"
world-ranked Bank. The contracted parties to the SPA are now the
Seller and the Purchasing Bank.
5. The Purchasing Bank's Bullion Officer and the Seller's Bullion
Officer communicate and conduct the POF/POP exchange and
close the transaction on a "payment-against-delivery" basis.
Note: We purchase exclusively GLD-compliant gold, without inspection or
testing, sold under full banking responsibility of the Seller's Bank. That is,
gold bullion registered in the banking system or "non-system" gold whose
owners, in order to assist the sale of their GLD assets, are willing to arrange
for their Bank to confirm the Au metal with "bank-to-bank" responsibility.

FEES TO
CONSULTANTS

A. The total consultancy fees is the difference between the gross and
net discounts offered by the Seller. This amount - which is payable
exclusively by the Buyer - is divided into two equal shares:

(i) 50% is reserved to the sell side

(ii) 50% is reserved to the buy side
"Getting Paid on Gold Deals"
We are solely responsible for
the payment of fees to all
Consultants involved in the
transaction, whether on the
"sell" side or the "buy" side.
It's a responsibility we take
very seriously, in line with
our commitment to transact
reliably and professionally.
To ensure that Consultants
receive the fees rightfully due
them, we have put in place a
number of key procedural
measures and safeguards.
Further information available
upon request.

The IMFPA is available to

Consultants upon request.
Consultants are encouraged
to protect their confidential
sources at all times.

B. The buy side is closed. We are, however, willing to negotiate a

special fee arrangement with those Consultants unable to secure
fees on the sell side. Of course, because we have the financial
capability to purchase a Seller's entire stock regardless of
quantities - fees to Consultants will normally be much higher than
with other gold transactions.

Note: All fee arrangements with Consultants will be finalized and

confirmed promptly, up-front, via a signed IMFPA prior to the
release by Consultants of their confidential sources.
C. The IMFPA is incorporated in the SPA and is executed by the
Buyer and Seller as part of the formal contract-signing. Once the
SPA is signed by the Parties, the IMFPA becomes an integral part
of the SPA for enforcement purposes.
D. The IMFPA is deemed an irrevocable commitment and Pay Order
and is lodged in the Purchasing Bank; the IMFPA remains in force
for a period of five (5) years, including any rolls and extensions or
new contracts between the Parties. The Bank will pay fees to
Consultants, in the percentage amounts specified in the IMFPA, at
the time of settlement of each and every tranche of the transaction.
E. A maximum of two (2) Consultants/Group Paymasters only may be
listed in the IMFPA; this at the request of our Purchasing Bank who
are required, prior to closing, to conduct a full due diligence
examination of all parties named in the SPA and need to limit,
within reason, the time and effort it takes to complete this task.

"Bank-to-Bank" Responsibility

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. OPPORTUNITY FOR SELLERS. We are "large-volume" purchasers of GLD-compliant
gold. We solve a major problem confounding Sellers today: how to avoid the "dreamers
and schemers" and find a performing Buyer. What we offer Sellers is a unique opportunity
to close with a top 25 world-ranked Bank that is willing to purchase the Sellers entire
inventory - maximum 200 Metric Tons Au per week until the Sellers stock is exhausted.
Its truly an outstanding opportunity for Sellers, many of whom who have been continually
thwarted in their efforts to sell their product due to repeated encounters with nonperforming Buyers. What Sellers want, of course, above all else, is to contract with a
reliable and financially capable Buyer. And Buyers dont come any more reliable and
financially capable than a leading, world-class Purchasing Bank!
OUR PROMISE TO YOU: If you are a genuine Seller with GLD assets held in bankcontrolled storage or a market-accepted GLD security facility and offered for sale under
full banking responsibility - we will purchase your entire inventory without a moments
hesitation. And we will do it quickly, efficiently and responsibly.
2. SELLER'S TITLE TO GOLD. The Seller must be the legal owner/title holder of the gold on
offer. No back-to-back contracts. No "bogus" Sellers. No sleight-of-hand moves. Sellers
cannot offer for sale what they dont own; such activities constitute fraud and an illegal
arbitrage and will subject wrongdoers to the full weight of sanctions under the law.
3. AUTHORIZED MANDATES. Gold owners/title holders may transact via a legal mandate.
However, in order to ensure the integrity of the sale process, the mandate must provide a
verifiable Authorization Letter, with the legal owner's Transaction Code, confirming the
mandates authority to sign the SPA on the legal owners behalf. The Authorization Letter
must be signed by the legal owner under notary acknowledgment or by the legal owners
Bank or Law Firm in the event that the legal owner wishes to remain undisclosed.
4. DUE DILIGENCE/SECURITY CHECKS. Sellers are subjected to careful vetting in order to
confirm the provenance of the gold and the Seller's "bone fides". Once a formal offer has
been received, we engage with our major U.S. law firm who conduct extensive due
diligence on our behalf. In addition, our Transacting Bank, as part of the closing
procedure, runs thorough background checks on the Seller as well as on all Consultants
and Paymasters named in the contract.
5. BUYER INFORMATION PACKAGE. We provide Sellers and Consultants with
comprehensive written information, including a full set of transaction documents. We do
this because we want to lay down a marker for everyone to see: (i) We are a leading Gold
Purchasing Group Professional, Reliable And Responsible - with very considerable
financial resources at our disposal; (ii) We offer Sellers an exceptional opportunity to close
with a "top 25" world-ranked Purchasing Bank that is willing to purchase the Seller's entire
GLD inventory - maximum 200 Metric Tons Au per week; (iii) We are organized and
disciplined Buyers, with orderly closing procedures and careful, precisely-crafted
documentation; and (iv) We strive for performance excellence and adhere to the highest
standards of integrity and trust.
