So the outcome of this will be, POLYmetal is not directly sanctioned and as the board have said arent likely to be, its my undertsanding we dont sell refined gold to the open market anyway and have set contracts with purchasers already in place. So POLY Kazakhstan sells their GOLD to the UK and Switzland buys the Russian stock, if not it all heads East to China...
Below is a link on how the spot price on GOLD Bullion futures is calculated.

"How do general market conditions affect the price of gold per gram?
Economic uncertainty or even recession can have a major impact on the gold price. This is due to the fact that gold is seen as a ‘safe haven’, which means that the world’s central banks will increase their exposure to gold when uncertainty or economic turmoil looms.
What effect do currency value fluctuations have on the price of gold per gram?
Monetary policies, such as quantitative easing, or inflation, for example, can lead to currencies depreciating and investors will often respond by increasing their gold exposure. Due to the finite nature of gold, it often retains its value, whereas currencies are easily affected by wider economic factors.
The price of gold increases when a greater number of people are investing in it. As a result, when currency values fall, the price of gold per gram often increases.
What effect does supply and demand have on the gold price in the UK today?
The rules of supply and demand are simple and well-known. If there is a shortage of a particular commodity, but demand continues, the price of that commodity will often increase. This is true of everything from gold, to food and property.
If gold supplies reduce and demand increases, the gold price per gram will usually rise. During times when the demand for gold falls off, but supplies are plentiful, the price will fall. You must remember, though, that gold supplies are finite. No more can be produced, just mined."
IMO GOLD price will rise now, and who ever it was predicting $2500 an announce may be bang on in the oncoming recession, imo POLYmetals stock just got more attractive, not less, with GOLD price rising.... also our NET worth will increase massively..... lets see what happens
