I can't believe they made such a huge issue over a person buying a few thousand dollars worth of gold. The same person could buy a $300,000.00 Ferrari and nobody would bat an eyelid, and they only would have had to show their licence to make that purchase too!
The spec is the spec. If you want to sell to a customer and they give you their spec then you need to follow it. I suspect they did it so that Perth could not dilute the gold which is exactly what they did. Perth was able to save $600,000 which the purchaser could have pocketed if it were not diluted with silver. 99.996 to 99.992%
According to the gold spot price (now) online, it is $88,386.39 per kilo or in this case is $1,060,425.36 for 12 kilo. If you substituted gold for another metal for 0.004% of this weight (on the 12 kilo bar in question) the difference would be AUD $4,241.70 assuming the substituted metal had no value at all. As there are 100,000 kilo in 100 tonne (the size of this order by China), the total shipment is worth approx AUD $8.366 billion. Let’s get real.
Problem is that there is VERY little room for error when working with such low quantities of debasement. Say if you got the gold from the bottom of the crucible, it could perhaps be 9995 (or lower) instead...sure the whole "batch" might be 99992, but there will be higher and lower depending on the concentration at any certain location...
It only involves wholesale refinery business of the Perth Mint. Their coin products have very high QC standards. I have a relative who is working there, their coin products go through many stages of QC inspection before being sent out.
You raise possibly the most important point towards the end there. Why list all of the reasons that 🤔 it would be a great idea to own 'real' money, then suggest they are reasons why it's a bad idea.? Reverse psychology. There is clearly a push back against the increase of those waking up to being robbed blind through inflation. But how do they stem the flow.? By smearing a mint that produces the product. Gold/Silver/Platinum have intrinsic value, cash has none. Its only value is in the belief that it has value. If enough people woke up to the fact it is worthless; that would be the day it realises its true fate and die. They do not want that. "Untraceable" translation: loss of control. The very reason the awake own it.
Purity of what? Gold? There was the correct level of gold that was required in that bar. The problem wasn’t the level of gold whatsoever, it was the remaining purity and what that was made up of.
If they ordered 99.995% or better than they have a valid complaint. As far as we know the order was for 99.99% or better, they got 99.99% and better. Not that it matters, but a Chinese company complaining about gold purity is ... an interesting stance.
@@ryack6355 hmmm I think your wrong, instead of the correct 99.996 per cent pure gold per bar there was 99.992, meaning there was .004 per cent less gold, I read somewhere that sge doesn’t mind what the last remaining purity is it could be silver/copper/lead just as long as the actual gold content is over 99.995 per cent, correct me if I’m wrong but that’s how I understand it.
I like how irritated Jason Waters looks. He's probably been fielding calls all day, from people that literally have the intellectual depth of small children, but somehow are let loose on society to shape public opinion.

they are trying to sway us against swapping their dying fiat paper crap into valuable metals, this is just the beginning. get as much as u can before either the CBDC's get here or the fiat dies.
Australian inflation is out of control, the QE-funded fixed rate mortgage cliff is approaching starting in April and China and Russia are launching the new BRICS trade currency backed by gold which is directly linked to the Shanghai Gold Exchange. That's the issue. BRICS and Belt and Road Initiative central banks are buying gold faster than at any time since World War II and the start of the Bretton Woods system. Certainly faster than since Nixon defaulted on Bretton Woods by ending the ability of countries to convert dollars into gold in 1971. Gold is going to back a lot of global trade in the BRICS currency which means 100+ foreign countries selling down no-longer needed reserves - hence a potential bond market crash and consequently interest rates exploding higher ... and the only real response - western central banks flooding the system with printed money. Virtually nobody has any idea how serious this stuff is and the fact that precious metals are one of the very few ways people can be protected from financial armageddon; it has no counterparty risk.
I think the point everyone is missing is it doesn't matter if a 1oz piece of gold is 999 or 9999 or 99999 as they all contain a minimum of 1oz of gold. The extra weight is additional to the gold content. Thats why a 1oz piece always measure slightly more than 1 troy oz.
The most annoying thing about this whole matter, is that Perth Mint staff are probably so busy dealing with the fake controversy nonsense, that they haven't been able to get around confirming the order I placed on Tuesday. If there only hadn't been a public holiday on Monday in Perth, I could have had my order confirmed instantly as per usual, because it would have been made on the Monday before all this kicked off. (don't worry, I get things from BN too, looking forward to rectangular dragons and other goodies in the coming months).

I thought it was due to the fact the sales contract stated they wanted 99.9996 and receives 99.9992. That is a breach of contract the same.

Sure it may only be 0.0001mm out, but I breached the contract we agreed to. But we all know The autherised resellers of the government owned company selling gold to its people for a profit will not agree as if their wholeseller looses trust, their investment and business product also looses its demand. Cant have losses so tell your customers there is nothing to worry about. Meanwhile., I wait over a week for a click and collect order. Cclick and collect.

Did I understood correctly! The purity dropped from .9996 to .9992 If I'm right the PM in the big mess but do I stop by PM product? The answer is BIG NO
Regardless of this news, I would still continue buying and collecting perth mint products. 99992 level of purity delivered by Perth mint to Shang Hai is considered a still high and corresponds to 24k gold standard purity.

What is stunning is thé benefits of Perth Mint from this opération : only 600 000 autralians dollars savings...just for manipulation beyond 9999...ridiculous
I don't thinking you are getting it. The customer requested a specific standard, and the mint not only didn't meet the standard but knowing covered it up. Once trust is lost it is done. Defending them doesn't make you look good at all.
When this first broke, I thought, "Oh, no! I have Perth Mint products!" Then I found out what a tempest in a teapot it really is! It's still more than four-nines-fine! 99.99 percent is 99.99 percent! This will blow over quickly, and I still have complete faith in all my Perth products. I have gold Kangaroos and a quantity of silver ones, as well as Kookaburras. As you all would say, I have "no worries"! Gold Krugerrands contain a full oz of pure gold, and they are only 91.7% gold, with the remainder being copper. I like them for their hardness and color.

If I be personally perth mint would not sell it to China and would ask them to buy from somewhere else. Not being rude or racist just putting bad name on Australian gold around the world and still buying from us.
@Mark Bainbridge could be who knows. I just don't understand with our politicians or ceo of any mineral resources in Australia is so dumb or unfair to fellow Australians, we as Australians are very rich country other countries should be begging us to sell them goods instead of being under pressure. As I said if I have stuff, I will be selling to other countries in my terms and conditions.
Percent n one bike eeeee is the smokescreen, the real story is the , Mint and our nation's gambling industry has been found to be laundering money for crime ,so it matters every time someone s shit gets stolen or people get hurt for drug money , casino getting 1oo million dollars in fines ,but keeping their licences ,is an insult to every Australian victim of crime , think about the taxes on all of it ,not shutting that down are they just taking their cut
Of course it's political. Episode released on the day before an RBA interest rate decision just when inflation is still far, far too hot. The Federal government is stuffed. They spent way too much money on stimulus and the RBA is technically if not practically insolvent. They need to keep the supply of credit growing but the property bubble is in HUGE trouble as QE-funded 3 year 2% fixed rate mortgages are reverting to variable as of April. The last thing they want is people dumping property causing a crash and running into gold, right when massive stimulus will be needed in the case of a crash. Add to that the problem of the new BRICS gold and commodities backed trade currency which will be literally backed by that very Shanghai Gold Exchange gold. It undermines the entire western US dollar global currency reserve system. It's extreme danger for western countries if the BRICS decide to dump their US Treasury bonds which seems obvious now that central bank gold buying is at a 70 year record high ... higher than at any time since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971.
The perth mint accepted the spec from china and said that the product would match the spec. If they did not want to match the spec they should have told china that we only accept that it will be 99.99% gold and not specify the other 0.01% Perth mint saved $600,00 in gold by diluting it with silver. Another way to put it is that china lost $600,000 in gold. You would also bring it up as an issue.
Should I get my Perth mint gold 1 ounce bars checked? I also bought a bunch of 1 ounce silver rounds from the Perth mint. I guess I should stick with the USA and Canadian mints from now on.
After this, I'm probably gonna buy more from the perth mint. I boycott chinese products when I can. I bet if they were to examine some of the chinese gold, they'd come across worse purity 😈
Exactly, Chinese gold products have a history of scams and dilution. The funny thing is the Chinese aren’t even that upset about this development as it’s still gold of an extraordinary high purity. It’s the media that have made this fuss

Percent n one bike eeeee is the smokescreen, the real story is the , Mint and our nation's gambling industry has been found to be laundering money for crime ,so it matters every time someone s shit gets stolen or people get hurt for drug money , casino getting 1oo million dollars in fines ,but keeping their licences ,is an insult to every Australian victim of crime , think about the taxes on all of it ,not shutting that down are they just taking their cut
Some good deals coming out of PM soon?😂🤣🤦♂️
Michael, you are .001 % heavier with the beard :)
Perth Mint was trying to get China back for the light weight pandas 😂
It's worth it on 12kgs bars when selling 50tns per year. were not drug dealers
Girlfriend, please!! it's not good anyway!!
Give me your 99.992 of gold if you dont want it 😆
I suspect its political
Of course it's political. Episode released on the day before an RBA interest rate decision just when inflation is still far, far too hot. The Federal government is stuffed. They spent way too much money on stimulus and the RBA is technically if not practically insolvent. They need to keep the supply of credit growing but the property bubble is in HUGE trouble as QE-funded 3 year 2% fixed rate mortgages are reverting to variable as of April. The last thing they want is people dumping property causing a crash and running into gold, right when massive stimulus will be needed in the case of a crash.
Add to that the problem of the new BRICS gold and commodities backed trade currency which will be literally backed by that very Shanghai Gold Exchange gold. It undermines the entire western US dollar global currency reserve system. It's extreme danger for western countries if the BRICS decide to dump their US Treasury bonds which seems obvious now that central bank gold buying is at a 70 year record high ... higher than at any time since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971.
China is at Fault not Perth Mint 99.992 or 99.996 doesn't makes a difference it's over 99.99 that's fair enough...
The perth mint accepted the spec from china and said that the product would match the spec. If they did not want to match the spec they should have told china that we only accept that it will be 99.99% gold and not specify the other 0.01% Perth mint saved $600,00 in gold by diluting it with silver. Another way to put it is that china lost $600,000 in gold. You would also bring it up as an issue.
This whole thing is pathetic and an overreaction enough
Should I get my Perth mint gold 1 ounce bars checked? I also bought a bunch of 1 ounce silver rounds from the Perth mint. I guess I should stick with the USA and Canadian mints from now on.
No, did you watch the video.

@1000silver maybe that's why we didn't understand your question.

@@spankeyham USA and Canada mints are honest. 4-9’s fine means exactly that. I like my gold buffalos and maples. You can keep your kangaroos.
The abc have gone stupid I don’t watch them anymore sky news for me now ❤😊
First
You have along way to go to beat my 137 firsts in a 12 month period , cause I’m the king whooooooo baby yeah 🎉
@@kaynef6637 they just need to put out that many videos 👍😂
1 first
I'll never buy anything from Australia.
🤣
After this, I'm probably gonna buy more from the perth mint. I boycott chinese products when I can.
I bet if they were to examine some of the chinese gold, they'd come across worse purity 😈
Exactly, Chinese gold products have a history of scams and dilution. The funny thing is the Chinese aren’t even that upset about this development as it’s still gold of an extraordinary high purity. It’s the media that have made this fuss
"I am going to get scammed by Perth Mint to own the Chinese". 🤣
why you standing up for these people, they did wronge, simple, save it!!!!
Because the entire show was nothing but innuendo and baseless bullshit.
