On a pound of gold?
Gold prices are rising. For whales financial market, gold is the one safe haven, where they wait out the storm crisis.
But what is gold for those who produced it? In the late 1920s, it was discovered huge reserves of gold in the river basin of the Aldan in Yakutia. Naturally, develop the land and build settlements and mine gold had concluded. During World War II, only one gang Ynykchanskaya gave over 5 tons of gold a year. Now dozens of villages along the river Aldan abandoned. Some, such as Ynykchan, Brindakit and Asterisk progressively closed and demolished. The ground on which settlements were to wash up in search of gold on the spot settlements remain gray mountains of soil and stones. The village is home to 800 residents of Sunny. Most of them are somehow connected with the extraction of gold.
