> I think people should start valuing gold companies by more conventional means

This is too simplistic, but:

Producers are currently trading at about 8-10 times cash flow, 20X is historically "more reasonable"

For a buyer: Gold in the ground (proven and probable) is worth $25-35 per ounce,
although $50 is reasonable for a good deposit. Historically, it was like $75/ounce.

If you are a producer, your ability to turn $25-35 gold in the ground into production at market prices (or above) is often reflected in you market cap. Barrick is currently valued at 100/oz of reserves, NEM@60, HM@50, BMG/PDG@35, etc... Some of my favorite Australians (Newcrest/Delta) are undervalued at $35. South Africans command as little as $10/oz of reserves
