<<Unfortunately, when the gold is sold forward it becomes immediately available on the spot market with bullion supplied by the cb, thereby driving prices either lower or stopping a rally>>

Ken if you're going to hold a view on hedging you have to understand the basics!!

The above statement is absolutely wrong - the cb supplies the bullion to the producer as collateral for a forward sale contract - not, repeat not, for sale into the spot market. The producer sells into the spot market as he produces the gold - see my posting to Hutch.
