Canadian mining companies revelled in the continued rise in gold prices Tuesday - as gold broke through the $300 US barrier - but they're wary of any big celebrations until they see where the price of bullion stabilizes.

Gold rose $21.60 to $301.50 an ounce on the London Metal Exchange and hit $308, up $26.20, on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

"It's over $300 which is also a very important psychological barrier," said Vincent Borg, vice-president of communications with Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:ABX - news), Canada's biggest producer.

"For technical trading it's just a psychological watershed," Borg said. "If you can get over $300, it could go higher, if it hangs below $300 then people can't see beyond that."

"Sentiment has changed fundamentally."

Movement beyond that mark attracts money to the gold sector and pushes the share prices of the gold companies higher.

"The fact it broke through ($300 US) is significant," Borg said.
