WHATS GOING ON AT THE FOUNDRY?

Sources at the foundry report that recent surveys of rare metals in the local quarries and mines are not as pure as they used to be.  This unexpected phenomenon has also bled over to the rivers and streams.  What does this mean for you, the citizens of Los Santos? Well, according to our metallurgist, you're just not going to be getting the same use out of those Gold and Silver ingots. 

Now, we couldn't stop reporting there, we had to go deeper into the issue.  We contacted world renowned Geologist, Harvy Stone of LS University and what he had to say was indeed alarming. "We can expect to see further decline in the quality of our gold and silver ore in the coming months or even sooner."  He even went further saying that no one has found a reason yet, but the leading theory is over mining in the area has made it harder to find pure Gold and Silver.

This reporter couldn't wait to find out more so off to the foundry we go.  Turns out, each Gold and Silver ingots can only make 2 pieces of jewelry vice the previous 3.
