<<What are the fundamentals behind SA mining stocks being hurt the most? >> Two reasons, IMO: 1) Very high costs producers. Of course, they have hedging programs in place..but I have read that they have not been as agressive as some NA seniors. 2) Some SA Golds have huge reserves ..however I am told that production capacities cannot be increased like they are in NA simply because reserves are concentrated in a few deep seated mines. This makes them highly dependent on higher prices.That would be the reason why Harmony and Durban are selling so cheap vs Barrick. I don't know as I did not verify this.
