  • How To Extract Gold From E-Waste

    How To Extract Gold From E-Waste

    Canada Global (Web News) Scientists have developed a very effective method of extracting gold from electronic waste.

    Researchers used protein sponges from waste during the cheese-making process to extract precious metals from e-waste. According to the researchers, this method is sustainable and commercially viable. In the study, scientists collected 450 mg of 22-carat gold from just 20 old computer motherboards. The energy cost of the process is 50 times less than the cost of mined gold. To extract the gold, scientists destroy all the natural properties of whey protein under acidic conditions at high temperatures to create a protein slurry that can be dried. A sponge was made by doing it.

    The researchers then separated metal parts from 20 motherboards and soaked them in acid, then placed a protein fiber in the solution to attract gold ions. Other metals are also attracted to these fibers, but gold does this more effectively. The scientists heated the sponge to convert the gold ions into galls, which then melted into gold flakes.

    India to invite fresh bids for import quotas for UAE gold

    Canada Global (Web News) The Indian government said on Thursday that it would solicit new bids for import quotas of gold from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at a reduced duty set down in a trade agreement between the two nations.

    The government stated in a statement that the quotas are for the import of 140 tonnes of gold from the UAE during the course of the fiscal year that began on April 1 with a duty that is one percentage point less than India’s usual 15% gold import duty.

    India is the second-largest consumer of gold in the world and imports the majority of its gold.

    It and the UAE signed a comprehensive trade and investment agreement last May with the intention of reducing tariffs and raising bilateral trade to $100 billion in five years.

    According to the deal, the maximum amount of gold that can be imported from the UAE duty-free over a five-year period will be 200 tonnes.

  • Gold and Silver price rises in Pakistan

    Gold and Silver price rises in Pakistan

    Canada Global (Web News) Monday, gold prices increased in Pakistan, following worldwide trends and possibly being boosted by a declining rupee, which makes the dollar-quoted safe-haven commodity more expensive and forces dealers to be more cautious on the eve of a monetary policy meeting.

    The price of gold (24 carats) increased by Rs 1,200 per tola and Rs 1,028 per 10 kilos to settle at Rs 209,500 and Rs 164,645 respectively, according to All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA).

    On Monday, the rupee lost 0.44% of its value against the dollar in the interbank market. The rupee ended up at 285.04 with a loss of Rs1.25, according to the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

    With the out-of-control inflation, it is anticipated that the State Bank of Pakistan will increase the policy rate by 100 to 200 basis points. Pakistan’s consumer price inflation increased by a record 35.37% in March compared to the same month last year.

    Since gold increases in value as the value of the dollar declines, it is typically touted as a powerful hedge against inflation.

    Pakistan’s monthly inflation blew past predictions in March and soared to a nearly all-time high level — 35.4% — from a year earlier. People are now suffering more as a result of some of the fastest rising consumer prices and tightening budgets as the cost of living continues to outpace average incomes.

    The policy rate was increased by the central bank by 300 basis points to 20% last month.

  • Pakistan’s gold price recovered after a steep drop, as inflation fears persist

    Pakistan’s gold price recovered after a steep drop, as inflation fears persist

    Canada Global (Web News) Gold rebounded after falling below the crucial Rs188,000 threshold the previous day and experiencing its sharpest decline in recent months as gloomy economic data increased worries about an impending economic downturn.

    Gold’s price fell as low as Rs5,200 per tola on Thursday, but on Friday it started to rise again.

    According to information made public by the All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA), the price of gold increased by 300 rupees per tola and 257 rupees per 10 kilos, respectively, to settle at Rs183,700 and Rs157,493.

    The group noted that the majority of buyers in the neighbourhood market are now gold investors. In the past, people kept their money in US dollars to protect them from the effects of the rupee’s devaluation during a period of high inflation.

    After the dollar’s shortage on the open market, they said, investors began shifting to the bullion market. Contrasting with the interbank market’s price of Rs227, illicit traders were charging Rs250–260 for the dollar on the black market.

    Analysts contend that the decrease from the previous day was a healthy correction that allowed more buyers to enter, which led to a rebound in prices.

    Goldsmiths predict that due to the rupee’s depreciation against the US dollar during the present cycle, the price of gold may increase to Rs200,000 per tola.

    They do, however, also think that a $6–$8 billion infusion from international and bilateral creditors will pop Pakistan’s price bubble.

    The safe haven asset increased in value by Rs57,900, or 45.95%, from its December 31, 2021 price of Rs126,000 per tola.

    According to the group, the price of gold in Pakistan has been “overcost” by Rs6,500 per tola when compared to pricing in Dubai. This indicates that the price of gold in Pakistan is currently higher than it is on the global market.

    The change from “under cost” to “above cost” also calls into doubt the long-term viability of Pakistan’s bullion price.

    The discrepancy between the official price of gold and the price it is being sold for is growing. The official price in the Sarafa market, as announced by the association, is Rs187,200 per tola. But the price at which it is being offered is higher.

    Due to the rupee’s depreciation against the US dollar during the present cycle, financial experts and goldsmiths predict that the price of gold may increase to Rs200,000 per tola.
