Alan: I found these bits very interesting (and reassuring):

"Harmony CEO Bernard Swanepoel says the latest gold price jump is also linked to a shortage of the metal, as indicated by rising gold lease rates, which have increased the risk of selling gold forward. "There's a liquidity squeeze in the gold market. The sales programme by the world's central banks has been fully discounted by the market and the banks are not making more gold available for lending as they are sticking to the terms of the Washington Accord."

"Durban Deep chairman Mark Wellesley-Wood .... says what's happening now is not just a technical rally but a "seminal shift" in the gold market. Edwards says the gold price spike is part of a rising trend for gold in the medium term."
