After getting burnt pretty bad by ASL, I've been interested in ONLY unhedged gold stocks. So far, the only ones found are AEM, HGMCY, RGLD and TSE:FN.
HGMCY Harmony Gold Mining - from the Chairman's statement in the annual reports: harmony.co.za "The company?s cost of production is well below any reasonable prediction for a gold price low. Harmony?s unhedged position ensures that its shareholders will benefit from any increase in the gold price."
FN.TO Franco Nevada - from the Toronto Globe and Mail 10/7/99 "Franco-Nevada Mining Corp. Ltd. and Viceroy Resource Corp. have not hedged any gold production. Incorrect information was published yesterday. (Thursday, October 7, 1999, Page B2)"
AEM Agnico-Eagle from the President's message at agnico-eagle.com "Growing reserves and production with excellent exploration potential; Low-cost operations with sharply declining production costs; Strong financial position with good access to additional capital; Experienced, proven management and a committed work force; Excellent leverage to rising gold prices, as none of our future gold production has been sold forward. "
RGLD: wrote them at info@royalgold.com and the VP responded that they are unhedged.
Everyone, please share your research on unhedged stocks.
