Ethiopia opens first gold refinery

Peter Spina, CEO at GoldSeek.com, reports that Ethiopia has launched its first gold refinery through a $50 million joint venture aimed at turning the country into a regional hub for precious metals processing.

Gold exports are a crucial source of foreign exchange for Ethiopia, earning the nation $5.6 billion last year.

Spina has tracked trends in precious metals markets in recent updates. He recently reported that gold retained strength while silver dropped below $60 as rates and oil rose. Earlier, he highlighted that the short position in SLV increased by 8.35 percent, reaching over 30 million shares.
