For some popular precious metal stocks, close to half the trades have been “phantom” sales by short sellers who did not actually own the stock.

At least one-quarter of Sudan could be rich territory for gold mining, making it a hot-spot for foreign companies exploring there.

In recent years, individual mining has reached unprecedented proportions and figures indicate that at least 50,000 people are believed to be working in Sudan’s northern desert.

The Sudanese government has tried to discourage gold mining in the past because of the deadly risks involved.

However, it has proved a lifeline for thousands of people as the price of gold has soared.

Paul Grignon, the creator of the popular “Money as Debt” documentaries, joins Economics 101 to discuss his solution for an alternative currency. Digital Coin operates as a system of unique digital objects that function as self-issued credit. The value of this is measured relative to a “Perpetual Coin” unit of measure and fluctuates based on demand for that individual’s goods and services. For much more information on this fascinating idea, please visit the Digital Coin website: http://www.digitalcoin.info

Assassination of anti-mining resistance leader, Marcelo Rivera, sparks campaign of terror against activists.

A 37-year-old teacher, community center founder, and anti-mining activist is found tortured and assassinated in Northern El Salvador. Authorities, despite all evidence to the contrary, attribute the death to common gang violence. In the following weeks, other critics of mining are victims of death threats, attempted kidnappings and shootings. Communities plunged into fear not seen since the Civil War of the 1980s place the blame on the presence of Pacific Rim, a Canadian gold mining company.
