Then in August 1971, US President Richard Nixon suspended dollar convertibility into gold as a short term measure to protect the run on gold reserves. One of the first companies to see a golden opportunity opening up was Minad, a small Queensland based exploration company. Mindad chose Meekatharra in Western Australia as their exploration centre. From 1972-1976 the company tapped into the practical knowledge of a remarkable gold prospector to eventually control ground from which close to $2 billion in gold would be extracted, although none of it would be extracted by Minad. Gold dust turned to bull dust, for Minad was beaten by the economics of the day and their prior commitment to the giant Hail Creek coal deposit. "Meekatharra - a journey from Gold Dust to Bull Dust" is an autobiographical account of this period by veteran geologist Robert Pyper." Weight (before packaging): 335g. Seller Inventory # 2328
