Large quantities of gold, silver and palladium unaccounted for at Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa
External auditors are investigating a discrepancy between the Royal Canadian Mint's 2008 financial accounting of its precious metals holdings and the physical stockpile held at the mint's plant on Sussex Drive, Ottawa. The official line is that an unprecedented demand in gold in 2008 led to an unreconciled difference between the mint's financial statements and its physical count of precious metals. The Royal Canadian Mint is owned and controlled by The Crown Temple in London.
