7 AURABA BAR CONCEPT An accredited wearable precious metal pendant bar product in standard size denominations for easy trade in or bartering. AuraBa product is a fancy 999 precious metal bullion investment pendant bar that can be easily carried, stored or worn and can carry personal empowerment statements. The concept is to sell Western style bar product that is an investment but can also be worn, similar to the Indian investment gold jewellery model, that can be sold at higher profit margins than conventional bullion bars as a gift, jewellery or tourist item. Target retail pricing for AuraBa gold pendant bars would be a 25 50% premium over spot for 20 g 2.5 g product. By comparison similarly sized gold coins and conventional bars retail between 4 18% over spot. Silver bars would be target priced at approximately three times this premium to reflect higher % fabrication costs. As they are 999 bars there is generally no sales tax payable on gold bullion bar product in many countries.

27 WHY INVEST IN GOLD Gold has been the central foundation of our banking and money systems since early records of human civilization Only recently and for a short period of time (approx 40 years) has gold been demonetarised and replaced by Fiat paper currencies, debt & electronic currency Gold has a tradition as a protector of wealth during times of financial banking crisis, stock market collapse, high inflationary and recessionary & depressionary times Asian cultures maintain a strong belief and investment level in precious metals. The quantity and value of paper currencies are controlled by governments and large financial organizations at their will and are subject to considerable political manipulation Paper currencies can depreciate in value rapidly (inflation) and loose relative value Gold & silver are the ultimate extinguishers of debt The quantity of available gold within the system is finite and determined by total available mined supply (approx 175,000 t) which is over 70 times current annual gold production (2500t). Official Central Banks holdings are some 12 times annual production Recent global financial system shocks and bank crisis highlight the vulnerability and instability of our current money and banking system. Future possible shocks or banking crisis could lead to currency crisis, devaluations, major inflationary pressures or a recessionary / depressionary global economic crisis which is likely to herald the return of gold and silver to back monetary instruments
