Itulah kata-kata untuk menyimpulkan pengalaman selama 5 hari 4 malam di Perth dalam program Public Gold Leadership Seminar 2011. Percutian yang manis bermula sejak kami berkumpul di KLIA dan terus bersambung dengan mengunjungi tempat-tempat menarik seperti Perth Mint, The Pinnacles, menelusuri Sungai Swan, Lobster Shack, Kanggaro Farm, bermain sand ski di padang pasir, membeli belah patung-patung kanggaro, koala, coklat dan boomerang serta banyak lagi tempattempat dan aktiviti menarik tidak dapat digambarkan melalui penulisan. Suasana dan udara nyaman di bandar Perth amat dirasai sepanjang berada di sana lebih-lebih lagi di tepian Sungai Swan. Disamping itu saya berasa amat beruntung dan teruja dapat bersama-sama pengedar-pengedar jutawan dan kilowan emas Public Gold yang hebat lagi berpengalaman. Kami berkongsi pengalaman berniaga emas dan idea pemasaran serta ilmu-ilmu tentang emas dan perak sepanjang pertemuan di Perth, sambil minum kopi, makan ais krim dan kebab halal. Semua peserta bergembira selama 5 hari kami bersama. Terima kasih Public Gold kerana menaja seminar ini dan kita pasti bersama lagi dalam leadership akan datang. Jom bersama kami! Dr Nujaimin Udin, TBB Aurum Ent. Ahmad Azman Bin Baruti Percutian ke Perth? Fuh! Memang tak cukup nak diceritakan dan diluahkan disini. Kerana percutian tersebut, saya dikelilingi oleh orang yang hebat, seperti dealer Public Gold yang hebat, staff Public Gold yang hebat dan juga syarikat Public Gold yang hebat. Perjalanan pergi dan balik ke Perth, walaupun mengambil masa yang lama, tetapi dirasakan amat sekejap, disebabkan saya boleh mengeratkan tali silaturahim bersama keluarga Public Gold yang mengikuti percutian tersebut. Semasa di Perth, saya memperolehi satu pengalaman baru, bila dapat menyaksikan sendiri bagaimana proses pembentukan emas dari bentuk cecair ke bentuk pepejal di bangunan bersejarah ‘Perth Mint’. Kesimpulannya, anda boleh menyertai dan mengalami sendiri seperti apa yang saya dapat, bukan sahaja dapat melancong ke negara lain, anda juga boleh dapat berkenalan dengan ramai kenalan baru yang sangat membantu dan saling bantu membantu antara satu sama lain. Jadi, mari sertai kami di Public Gold ya! Sabri Bin Ahmad Tidak pernah terlintas di fikiran saya ingin menjejak kaki di Perth, Australia. Pada 31 Mac - 4 April 2012 semuanya menjadi kenyataan apabila berpeluang menjejakkan kaki di Perth bagi mengikuti program Leadership Seminar Public Gold dan menjadi sebuah memori yang cukup indah dalam hidup saya. Jutaan terima kasih kepada Public Gold kerana merealisasikan impian yang tidak pernah saya mimpikan. Tanpa Public Gold , mustahil bagi saya menjejakkan kaki di negara orang “putih”. Sebuah bandar peraginan yang cukup indah dan tenang. Banyak kenangan yang tidak mungkin saya lupakan. Antara kenangan yang tidak mungkin saya lupakan adalah ‘layanan istimewa’ yang diberi oleh pihak Public Gold. Melihat sendiri kilang memproses emas yang tersohor di dunia iaitu Perth Minth. Semasa di kilang tersebut saya dikelilingi bertan-tan emas disamping melihat proses melebur emas. Melihat, menyentuh dan memberi makan haiwan kebanggan negara Australia iaitu Kanggaro. Tidak terlintas dihati ini untuk bergelar seorang usahawan emas berjaya tetapi semuanya berlaku tanpa disedari. Bermula sebagai seorang penyimpan emas berakhir dengan seorang usahawan emas berjaya dengan menggunakan platform yang disediakan oleh Public Gold. Terima kasih kepada Public Gold, dealer rangkaian EmasKini.com, sahabat seperjuangan dan semua yang menyokong saya selama ini. Akhir sekali, anda boleh capai lebih dari saya jika fokus bersama Public Gold. 6 bridging you to a brighter furture Tetapkan matlamat dan berusaha menggapainya untuk berjaya. Itulah yang saya lakukan dan usaha ini dibalas oleh Public Gold apabila saya dipilih untuk melancong secara percuma ke Perth, Australia. Bukan setakat melancong secara percuma tapi juga diberi peluang keemasan untuk melawat lombong emas aktif tertua dunia di sana. Saya dan ahli rombongan dibawa melawat kilang Royal Mint, menyaksikan sendiri demo bagaimana jongkong emas dibuat. Pelbagai produk/jongkong emas dari seluruh dunia turut dipamerkan. Sangat menarik! Sempat juga saya membeli keychain jongkong emas dan sedikit cenderamata di sana sebagai tanda ingatan. Dah namanya melancong, kami turut dibawa melawat pelbagai tempat termasuklah makan angin di Pinnacle, mencuci mata sambil membeli cenderamata di Fremantle Market, mengenali pelbagai haiwan liar Australia di Caversham Wildlife Park, juga ke terusan buatan manusia terpanjang dan terbesar, Satu pengalaman yang tidak dapat dilupakan. Terima kasih Public Gold kerana memberi saya peluang ini. Bersama-sama kita tetapkan matlamat & tingkatkan jualan untuk diri dan kumpulan dan juga untuk merebut peluang/ganjaran sebegini di masa-masa akan datang. Nik Mohamad Bin Nik Ngah Alhamdulillah..setelah hampir 2 tahun bersama Public Gold membuka ruang perniagaan utk saya dan keluarga. Dalam masa 3 bulan sahaja, saya berjaya mencapai target untuk menjadi Master Dealer Public Gold.. Bersama Public Gold menerima pelbagai insentif termasuklah Leadership Seminar to Perth Austaralia pada April 2012 kepada semua Master Dealer Public Gold. Selain dapat berjumpa dan mengeratkan silatulrahim, banyak pengalaman dan ilmu yang dapat dikongsi bersama tentang ilmu pelaburan dan perniagaan emas sehingga berjaya dalam pelaburan dan perniagaan ini.Tahniah saya ucapkan kepada Public Gold kerana telah menunjukan perkembangan yang baik walaupun beberapa tahun beroperasi, telah mendapat pelbagai anugerah yang berprestij. Pihak syarikat juga menyediakan pelbagai insentif dan peluang yang begitu luas kepada yang berminat untuk terlibat dengan urus niaga emas. Jumpa lagi di Cape Town ...Terima kasih Public Gold. Tajul Asmawee Bin Abdullah Bismillahirahmanirahim.... Alhamdulillah saya amat bersyukur dan berterima kasih kepada Public Gold kerana saya tidak menyangka dalam ramai2 MASTER DEALER,saya telah terpilih untuk Batch Pertama ke Perth Australia pada 31 Mac 2012 dengan menaiki pesawat Malaysia Airlines seawal 7.30 pagi. Semua Master Dealer dan Pengurusan Public Gold telah berkumpul di KLIA dengan Jaket Public Gold dan sempat bergambar.Pengalaman makan angin santai habis bersama Public Gold di Perth tidak mungkin dapat saya lupakan setelah setahun berusaha keras memastikan Sasaran Personal Sales tercapai. Lebih 5 jam berada di dalam pesawat,akhirnya sampai di Perth Airport dan semua MD sibuk beli Kad Sim Hotlink Australia nak elak kena caj roaming yang tinggi sebelum menuju ke Seasons Hotel. Saya sebilik dengan MD Hasfarizam (Geng916). Makan malam di Perth memang awal pukul 6 ptg di Restoran Malaysia masakan Malaysia..memang sedap sebab dah lapar.. Aktiviti bebas sebelah malam. Perjalanan bermula selepas sarapan, menuju Kilang “MONDO Nougat, bermulalah kebocoran wang dengan berbekalkan AUD500. Selepas tu ke Kilang Coklat dan destinasi seterusnya ke “Caversham Wildlife Park” dapat melihat secara dekat seperti Kangaroos , Koalas , Wombats.. Kemudian belayar menaiki ferri dengan melihat ikan lumba-lumba yang mengekori ferri. Kemudian, kami menuju ke Lobster Shack untuk melihat bagaimana cara pemprosesan Lobster dan kami dihidangkan separuh Lobster dengan 5 ekor udang dengan harga AUD55. Pengalaman seterusnya menaiki Bus Truck sejauh 300km (5 jam) ke Pinnacles di mana kawasan Gurun Kering berbatu besar di mana beribu tahun dulu adalah kawasan laut. Inilah kali pertama berada di kawasan Gurun tanah kering dengan cuaca yang panas terik. Di sinilah semua MD bergambil sebagai kenangan dan ada juga yang membuat sessi rakaman video bertujuan untuk BAKOR dealer-dealer bila balik ke Malaysia nanti.. MD PG memang kuat bakor sejak ke Perth masing-masing dah pandai BAKOR. Selepas solat di kawasan rumput lapang, kami ke Padang Pasir Putih yang cerun di mana Bus Truck kami membuat aksi menuruni bukit yang curam lebih 120 darjah, memang seronok masa ini sebab dapat melihat wajah ceria dan ada yang menjerit-jerit. Lepas tu meluncur menuruni pasir menggunakan Papan Luncur. Pengalaman seterusnya berada di Perth Mint dengan melihat secara langsung bagaimana Emas dilebur sehingga menjadi ketulan emas. Di sini dapat bawa balik kenangan yang amat bermakna iaitu 1oz Silver Coin Perth Mint dengan ukiran text sendiri “Memories of the Perth Mint Australia Public Gold - www.asmawee2u.com” 4 hari berada di Perth masa memang cepat berlalu dan rasa tak puas dan harap ada peluang lagi untuk pergi kali ke 2..tapi kami ada sasaran seterusnya iaitu ke Cape Town Africa pada Nov 2012 nanti...

Gold was first discovered as shining, yellow nuggets. “Gold is where you find it,” so the saying goes, and gold was first discovered in its natural state, in streams all over the world. No doubt it was the first metal known to early hominids. Gold became a part of every human culture. Its brilliance, natural beauty, and luster, and its great malleability and resistance to tarnish made it enjoyable to work and play with. Because gold is dispersed widely throughout the geologic world, its discovery occurred to many different groups in many different locales. And nearly everyone who found it was impressed with it, and so was the developing culture in which they lived. Gold was the first metal widely known to our species. When thinking about the historical progress of technology, we consider the development of iron and copper-working as the greatest contributions to our species’ economic and cultural progress - but gold came first. Gold is the easiest of the metals to work. It occurs in a virtually pure and workable state, whereas most other metals tend to be found in ore-bodies that pose some difficulty in smelting. Gold’s early uses were no doubt ornamental, and its brilliance and permanence (it neither corrodes nor tarnishes) linked it to deities and royalty in early civilizations. Gold has always been powerful stuff. The earliest history of human interaction with gold is long lost to us, but its association with the gods, with immortality, and with wealth itself are common to many cultures throughout the world. Early civilizations equated gold with gods and rulers, and gold was sought in their name and dedicated to their glorification. Humans almost intuitively place a high value on gold, equating it with power, beauty, and the cultural elite. And since gold is widely distributed all over the globe, we find this same thinking about gold throughout ancient and modern civilizations everywhere. Gold, beauty, and power have always gone together. Gold in ancient times was made into shrines and idols (“the Golden Calf”), plates, cups, vases and vessels of all kinds, and of course, jewelry for personal adornment. GOLD AS MONEY Gold, measured out, became money. Gold’s beauty, scarcity, unique density (no other metal outside the platinum group is as heavy), and the ease by which it could be melted, formed, and measured made it a natural trading medium. Gold gave rise to the concept of money itself: portable, private, and permanent. Gold (and silver) in standardized coins came to replace barter arrangements, and made trade in the Classic period much easier. Gold was money in ancient Greece. The Greeks mined for gold throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East regions by 550 B.C., and both Plato and Aristotle wrote about gold and had theories about its origins. Gold was associated with water (logical, since most of it was found in streams), and it was supposed that gold was a particularly dense combination of water and sunlight. Their science may have been primitive, but the Greeks learned much about the practicalities of gold mining. By the time of the death of Alexander of Macedon (323 B.C.), the Greeks had mined gold from the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) all the way eastward to Asia Minor and Egypt, and we find traces of their placer mines today. Some of the mines were owned by the state, some were worked privately with a royalty paid to the state. Also, nomads such as the Scythians and Cimmerians worked placer mines all over the region. The surviving Greek gold coinage and Scythian jewelry both show superb artistry. The Roman Empire furthered the quest for gold. The Romans mined gold extensively throughout their empire, and advanced the science of gold-mining considerably. They diverted streams of water to mine hydraulically, and built sluices and the first ‘long toms.’ They mined underground, also, and introduced water-wheels and the ‘roasting’ of gold-bearing ores to separate the gold from rock. They were able to more efficiently exploit old mine-sites, and of course their chief laborers were prisoners of war, slaves, and convicts. A monetary standard made the world economy possible. The concept of money, (i.e., gold and silver in standard weight and fineness coins) allowed the World’s economies to expand and prosper. During the Classic period of Greek and Roman rule in the western world, gold and silver both flowed to India for spices, and to China for silk. At the height of the Empire (A.D. 98-160), Roman gold and silver coins reigned from Britain to North Africa and Egypt. Money had been invented. Its name was gold. (Adapted from Only Gold: The Definitive Site For Gold at www.onlygold.com) The “Gold of Troy” treasure hoard, excavated in Turkey and dating to the era 2450 -2600 B.C., show the range of gold-work from delicate jewelry to a gold gravy boat weighing a full troy pound. This was a time when gold was highly valued, but had not yet become money itself. Rather, it was owned by the powerful and well-connected, or made into objects of worship, or used to decorate sacred locations. Gold has always had value to humans, even before it was money. This is demonstrated by the extraordinary efforts made to obtain it. Prospecting for gold was a worldwide effort going back thousands of years, even before the first money in the form of gold coins appeared about 700 B.C. In the quest for gold by the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Indians, Hittites, Chinese, and others, prisoners of war were sent to work the mines, as were slaves and criminals. And this happened during a time when gold had no value as ‘money,’ but was just considered a desirable commodity in and of itself. The ‘value’ of gold was accepted all over the world. Today, as in ancient times, the intrinsic appeal of gold itself has that universal appeal to humans. But how did gold come to be a commodity, a measurable unit of value? 14 bridging you to a brighter furture bridging you to a brighter furture 15 Assaying &Testing Method Valuation Technique of Gold Article by Abdul Shukor Anuar, Assayer FIRE ASSAY Assaying is the term applied to the art of the determining the quantity of metal contained in an ore, in alloys, or in metallurgical products by the dry or “fire” method. The art of determining is referred to the method of testing applicable for specific metal alloy. CUPELLATION METHOD Fire Assay for determination of gold content (fineness) in pure gold and gold alloy is known as Cupellation Method. The method was employed since 15th century in the western countries and standardized by ISO and ASTM in 1980’s. While in Malaysia the standard was established in 1994 and republished again as MS ISO 11426:2006. The determination of gold in gold jewelry alloys is known as CUPPELLATION METHOD. The method specifies the determination of standard on fineness for gold and articles of gold alloy, which include bullions gold beads and coins. The unit is measured in part per thousand (‰). Therefore, Cupellation Method provides better accuracy, certainty and traceability. But in order to perform the determination with high certainty for the tested gold article, a laboratory should complied with the appropriate Method of Sampling established by Malaysia Standard SIRIM as coded MS 1366:1994 Methods of Sampling for precious metals. The method specifies the procedure for obtaining samples for the determination of standard on fineness in precious metal. Whereby a representative sample should be taken accordingly in order to have better accuracy, certainty as well as represent result for the articles(s) as a total. According to the sampling procedure, it is advisable to use a “simple” and “affordable” technique to “estimate” the gold content that would be able to group them in karat jewelry such as 24K(99.9%), 23K(95.0%), 22K(91.6%), 21K(87.5%), 20K(83.5%), 18K(75.0%), 14K(58.5%) and 9K(37.5%). The valuation of the gold content shall provide information for an appropriate quantity of silver and lead use for each of the test sample in the Cupellation Method. What are the techniques recommended? ACID TEST In Malaysia, the jewelry industry has the special technique called “Acid Test”. In Europe country called Touch Stone Method. 16 bridging you to a brighter furture The technique will compare the chemical reaction by the nitric acid and hydrochloric acid or hydrochloric acid alone and the “unknown” and “gold key – known karat” of gold scratch on the blackstone. The known Karat value are 24K(99.9%), 23K(95.0%), 22K(91.6%), 21K(87.5%), 20K(83.5%), 18K(75.0%), 14K(58.5%) and 9K(37.5%). The technique required special understanding and experienced personnel to conclude the outcome of the chemical reaction in several minutes. Sometimes the judgment will fade as the personal senses deteriorate. The “Acid Test” technique becomes unfavorable because it is very hard to develop such skills. Therefore the technique is NOT a standardized method of testing as to compare to the Cupellation Method. Then in 2004 or earlier if I recall it, exist one and only mechanical technique known as “a wonders” by some, which will and has been replacing the “Acid Test” technique. BRAVOOO..... Gone with the black-stone (some said “batu asah”) and the “stinky” acid but NOT the gold key. Precious Facts “estimate” the quality of gold article. It is a state of art with the combination of a weighing scale, a beaker of water and super programme. The instrument is better than the “Acid Test” technique. No acid required! The limitation is almost similar to Acid Test. The technique is a NOT standardized method of testing as compared to the Cupellation Method. DENSITY METER TESTING There are numberous feedbacks from the user about the evaluation using these techniques. There are some pure gold (999.9) bullions or jewelry marked 999 evaluate as 23K or 95% of gold content. Firstly, we must ensure that the instrument is well maintained, calibrated and tested with known gold quality. Through my experience as a user, there is no problem of the said articles evaluated using the Density Test. My worry is, does the user use the density meter and perform as suggested by the manufacturer? But sometimes the above mentioned situation might occur for the “cold casting” bullion because of the additional volume (size). An additional volume would decrease the density as well as the karat value. Also, a different ratio composition of gold, silver and copper would affect the density as well as grouping in between the gold group karat. CONCLUSION The “Acid Test” and “Density Meter Test” is NOT a standard method of testing to determine the actual gold content in gold articles. Even though is not, but it is still justifiable to determine the group of gold articles for those whom do not have the facilities to operate The Cupellation method. These two techniques are suitable for users like goldsmith shop, pawnshop and trader or even a refiner of gold scrape. As for laboratory, we need to use all instruments and techniques to complement the finding and our judgments as total representative to the subject tested. To conclude these articles, one must justify the purpose of evaluation needed. DENSITY METER TESTING They named it “DENSITY METER”. The instrument measures the density of the gold alloy (object or jewelry) from the weight measured, and then divided by the volume of the size using water as a medium. The unit is gram in 1cm cubic (gm/cm3). The density then simulates the range of various unit as Karat, Percentage of gold as well as Density. The density meter technique also has limitations which the manufacturer will disclose in the manual to avoid misleading the outcome. Density Meter Testing In general gold alloy consists of three metals – gold, silver and copper with respective density of 19.3, 10.5 and 8.9. Any ratio involving those three elements will indicate range of density from 11 .5 to 19.3 in density unit.
