<<The gold producers have less of a standard to live up to then the FRB. >>

I suggest you understand my comments again: {with reference to gold producers}
So what makes you think that they haven't been playing with reserve asset valuations for years?

It's amuses me at how often, and without further drilling, IP etc that a gold producers such as NEM can find addition over looked reserves of gold. All in an attempt to increase book value. Yet all they do is move semi non-economical gold deposits across the statement sheets into economical gold deposits when the price of OIL or gold moves a few dollars. When you are talking financial statements you are talking the biggest parlour game of all times. To assume that GAAP is of a higher standard then FRB audit is.. well foolish. You wish to draw a line and defend gold producers, then do so for ALL producers and hedgers. Cause in your opinion they all meet the same standards. GAAP.

Hole must be drilled, but not necessarily reported. Production must be made, but earning need not be positive. Most producers are trading based on reserves assets... now figure out the rest.
