I'll guess and say Tobacco.

Fool's gold (pyrite) is a lot more common.  Being rare makes things more expensive. Plus there's not much you can do with pyrite, although it does grow naturally in cool shapes like squares and octahedrons.

I am a sales rep in the Midwest.  I cover both types of plants and sell equipment to each.  There is zero activity in gas turbine plants right now due to the high gas prices.  Utilities in our area are building new coal burning capacity and trying desperately not to fire their gas turbines.  This could change at any time, but I see clean coal technologies and renewables   taking the lead.

I think it's all in the Gold and Diamond Exchange in Dubai. USGS reports they import 500+ metric tons of gold per year, but does not report any mining. I would be careful because I think UAE holds all minerals as property of the Emirates. \n\nIf I were going to look I would go to the Hajar Mountains, which are a complex of igneous and sedimentary rocks, and some of the worlds most extensive exposures of ophiolites. There are reports of intrusive igneous rocks in these ophiolites in the form of sheets and dikes of plagiogranite. Hyrothermal fluids moving through those areas might have left some gold behind. \n\nI know there are gold deposits in Saudi, but don't know the locale.

This is a good website for mining information.\n\nhttp://www.infomine.com/commodities/

There's been some silver found along Brush Creek outside Peebles in Adams County and in Clifton Gorge on the east fork of the Yellow Springs Creek in Greene County.\n In Hancock County there are pay to dig areas where you can find Celestite, Dolomite-Pyrite and fossils and the same in Putman County.\n Ohio also has some glacial gold and a few diamonds have been found but as far as I know, no Aquamarine. You have lots of stuff you can look for just not what you're wanting to look for. Best of luck to you.

For some top forecasts on gold’s direction, visit the site below:\n\nI like the real GOLD nuggets. \n\nAs most gold is mined as very fine dust and tiny nuggets, the larger (over 1oz) nuggets are very rare! Actually they are as rare as large diamonds!\n\nI would suggest you look into large nuggets!\n\nTo see the 'live' spot NY gold price and some museum size gold nuggets I suggest you visit a great site I found a few months ago. I purchase a few nuggets from them just about a month ago, and not only are they beautiful to look at but in just the last few weeks they have really moved up in value!\n\nI'm actually saving to purchase others!\n\nThe site is:\n http://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us\n\nhttp://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us/australia-gold-nuggets.htm\n\nhttp://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us/crystalline-gold-miner.htm\nhttp://california-gold-nuggets-miner.blogspot.com\nhttp://www.brokerforyou.com/brokerforyou\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us\nhttp://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/san-diego-medical-research-study.htm\nhttp://www.lasik-surgery-san-diego.info/lasik-eye-surgery-san-diego.htm\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/adsense.htm

There are 4 sources of gold.  mine production,  hords, reclamation from recycling and government stocks.\n\nmine production is pretty much constant until new mines come on stream.  There is a very long lead time to bring a mine up.  Hords tend to not increase supply at all because as the price increases, people tend to add to their hords.  Recycling is a pretty much constant supply.  That leaves government stocks.  Governments have been know to release their stocks as prices increase so that is the only short term possible addition to inceases to supply.  As for decreases, the same pretty much hold true except for hords.  After a large run up in prices, at a sharp drop in prices hord holdings tend to be released to the market further driving prices down.

Murphy is in the N.C. western gold belt and on the far northeast corner of the Dahlonega gold belt which runs southeast to Alabama. Georgetown creek in Jackson County has a  good history of production as well as Valley river in Cherokee county. Travel into Georgia around Dahlonega and there are quite a few gold bearing creeks and river tributaries. \nIf you are truly interested in recreational gold prospecting visit www.goldprospectors.org. This is the official site of the GPAA (Gold Prospectors Association of America). You will find much valuable information and may even consider a membership in the club since the fees are very low and as you live in a relatively good area for prospecting, you would gain free access to many club-leased claims where gold is being found every day and plenty of help from seasoned "diggers".\nMucho Au 2 U !!

Fred,\nCheck out this website. I live in rural Nevada where over half the United States gold is mined so I use this site quite a bit.  Here's the link\nhttp://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/mapdata/

This past summer the wife and I took a trip to NC. Spruce Pine to be precise. We went "Rock Hounding" or "Gem Mining" at place called  Gem Mountain.\n\nhttp://www.gemmountain.com/aquamarine.htm\n\nWhile at Gem Mountain we purchased one bucket of minerals and mined at their Aquamarine mine near by.\n\nWe found some nice specimens, but one in particular stuck a nerve, The image of this Aquamarine is posted at my site, Take a look:\n\nhttp://my.opera.com/TheMineralExchange/albums/showpic.dml?album=157930&picture=2347315\n\nOk.. so after viewing the image, Aquamarine's stats are as follows:\nA) : Green-blue\nB) : White\nC) : 2.63-2.91\nD) : 7 1/2-8\nE) : Hexagonal\nF) : Imperfect\nG) : Conchoidal, Uneven, Brittle.\n\nHey Teacher?. did I pass?

China is one of the world's major mineral-producing countries. Coal is the most abundant mineral (China ranks first in coal production); high-quality, easily mined coal is found throughout the country, but especially in the north and northeast. There are also extensive iron-ore deposits; the largest mines are at Anshan and Benxi, in Liaoning province. Oil fields discovered in the 1960s and after made China a net exporter, and by the early 1990s, China was the world's fifth-ranked oil producer. Growing domestic demand beginning in the mid-1990s, however, has forced the nation to import increasing quantities of petroleum. Offshore exploration has become important to meeting domestic needs; massive deposits off the coasts are believed to exceed all the world's known oil reserves.\n\nChina's leading export minerals are tungsten, antimony, tin, magnesium, molybdenum, mercury, manganese, barite, and salt. China is among the world's four top producers of antimony, magnesium, tin, tungsten, and zinc, and ranks second (after the United States) in the production of salt, sixth in gold, and eighth in lead ore. There are large deposits of uranium in the northwest, especially in Xinjiang; there are also mines in Jiangxi and Guangdong provs. Alumina is found in many parts of the country; China is one of world's largest producers of aluminum. There are also deposits of vanadium, magnetite, copper, fluorite, nickel, asbestos, phosphate rock, pyrite, and sulfur.\n\nExports:$583.1 billion f.o.b. (2004 est.)\nExports - commodities:machinery and equipment, plastics, optical and medical equipment, iron and steel\nExports - partners:US 22.8%, Hong Kong 16.2%, Japan 12.4%, South Korea 4.4%, Germany 4% (2004)\nImports:$552.4 billion f.o.b.

The latest technology is bio extraction using plants and microbes to extract gold from the source rocks.\n\nI suggest that you go in for cyanide method. Not free cyanides but in the complexed form.

Try searching the names of companies. I know that Internation Paper Co. has a mill in Mobile,Miss. but I'm not sure if there is a Georgia Pacific in that area.

Gazprom I believe...but it may be Lukoil as said by "Starme", their website says that it was state owned and doesn't mention Viktor Gordesky though -- which is why I suggest it might be Gazprom.
