I have no comment on this particular merger. But I will say that that gold mining industry needs to consolidate in a big way. The fact that so many miners are financially weak makes it easy for the bullion banks to force them to hedge to obtain financing.

A gold mining industry dominated by a few big players would find it much easier to cut production sharply until prices improve instead of hedging reserves at firesale prices.
