From Reuters, 9/27/99.

In July, Newmont said it had sold forward 483,000 ounces of gold at $300 an ounce in order to reduce term financing. The contract allowed Newmont to reap the benefit of a high gold price up to $380, the company said at the time.

They did or they didn't; only their accountant doesn't know for sure.

In any event if this is typical for the industry gold must rise to at least $380. The reason is that the market knows that there is demand above so it is a free ride until the necessary demand is satisfied. I believe it is representative because smart hedgers all do the same thing and by the autocorrelation bring the roof down on their heads just like LTCM. I hope the more astute of you can appreciate the insidious nature of clever and how profitable it can be.
