<Could this drop in production be perceived as causing a future shortage of gold, especially if other gold companies also decide to reduce output? >

The Newmont drop only appears to be a drop because of the one-time extra fourth quarter production. They will produce 5.4moz in 2001, which is still much higher than the 4.95moz produced back in 1999.

Other gold companies are increasing production. Homestake said they would produce 2.3moz in 2001 vs. 2.2 in 2000, and Anglogold plans 7.1 versus 6.9 I continue to track the production numbers and the cuts are few and not significant (yet)
