Wow, there's activity in this thread again after all this long while? Its nice to know that Pat is on BNM's radar though.
Anyway, I checked out the Royal Gold site and its so obvious that its Genneva rebooted.

Nowadays, everyone is looking for a simple way of buying gold. Especially those who are not familiar with the buying and selling of physical gold bullion. Royal Gold offers a good trading model. The novelty of Royal Gold's trading model is that it provides its Customers with not only the physical gold bullion and ownership certificate for every purchase transaction, but also includes an element of profit sharing in the form of HIBAH (an Islamic term that is similar to grant property, including gifts and alms).
Heebah yet again. Not very original are they?

And there's this little gem from BNM's FB page.

Edit: There's some serious titles in the Management Team though. I think BNM will have a hard time acting against them.
