GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — NOVEMBER 21, 2007

On Wednesday, November 21, 2007, the gold spot price was C$787.39 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥82,124.78 JPY per ounce or ¥2,640.37 JPY per gram. Gold rose +1.50% from the previous trading session.

Currency fluctuations between CAD and JPY significantly impact the effective cost of gold for international investors. Japan is the world's third-largest economy and a significant gold consumer, particularly for jewelry and industrial applications. The Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy has historically supported higher gold prices in Yen terms, making Japan an active gold market for both institutional and retail investors.
