exactly what about the word "SUSPENDING" don't you understand?
your exact quote -
<I see you're unwilling, or unable, to provide any concrete examples that describe how the gold mining industry as a whole have ceased undercutting the market for the metal through derivatives and hedging.>
Note the words mid 1999
"INTERVIEW-AngloGold continues to wind down hedging
By Belinda Goldsmith
CANBERRA, March 16 (Reuters) - The world's biggest gold miner, South Africa's AngloGold Ltd , said on Thursday it would continue to unravel its gold hedge book in a bid to further unshackle world bullion prices.
Chief Executive Bobby Godsell said AngloGold had changed its hedging programme as an instruments of risk management in mid-1999 on a bet that at $250 an ounce gold was oversold and ready to rocket."
and from later on
"Canada's Placer Dome Inc (Toronto:PDG.TO - news), the world's fifth largest gold miner, announced it was suspending its hedging programme in February. This triggered a rise in the spot gold to $319."

BTW AG said that statement was taken out of context, & did not dictate anything which would occur, only what might happen. Haven't you heard about the NY accord?
