Majestic Gold Corp. (MJGCF.PK)

Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use and is typically hardened by alloying with silver, copper, or other metals. In various countries, gold, and its many alloys, are most often used in jewelry, coinage and as a standard for monetary exchange. When sold in the form of jewelry, gold is measured in carats (k), with pure gold being designated as 24k. It is, however, more commonly sold in lower measurements of 22k, 18k, 14k and 10k. A lower "k" indicates that a higher percent of copper or silver in the alloy, with copper being the more commonly used metal. Fourteen carat gold-copper alloy is nearly identical in color to certain bronze alloys, and both may be used to produce police and other badges. Eighteen carat gold, with a high copper content, is found in some antique jewelry and has a distinct, though not dominant, copper cast, creating an attractively warm color. A similar carat weight, when alloyed with silvery metals, appears less warm in color. Some low carat white metal alloys are sold as "white gold" and are silver in appearance, but have a slightly more yellow cast. They are far more resistant to corrosion than are either pure silver or sterling silver.
