On May 21, 2026, a federal bank board unanimously approved a nearly $3 billion loan to build a gold mine on American soil. Congress had 25 days notice and raised no objections.
The company's own filings cite substantial support and partnership from the Department of War. Alongside gold, the deposit holds a second metal China has banned from export to the U.S., the only domestic reserve of its kind.
The company is roughly one fiftieth the size of Newmont.  |

Gold is hitting record highs, but most investors are leaving income on the table. A $15 fund is quietly paying out up to $1,152 a month to regular investors - no mining stocks, no options, no physical metal required.
Chief Income Strategist Tim Plaehn calls it a breakthrough strategy that transforms gold's rally into reliable monthly payouts. The next distribution is just days away.  |
