<Gosh we have fun, don't we Bob? Glad you are back. I don't want to wear you out too soon though. By my math and I like your Goldsheet format for this, 2nd quarter, 2002 (14,538 tons) is less than 4th quarter, 2001 (15,106 tons). We are in the twilight zone of a rollover.>
Well, you are off by a year, I do not have number for Q2-02 posted a year in advance !!
Also, I said Q2-01 was higher than the first three quarters of 2000, not Q4-00 (the peak).
Q2-01 14.538 (higher than every quarter below EXCEPT Q4-00)
Q1-01 14.250
Q4-00 15.106
Q3-00 13.913
Q2-00 13.654
Q1-00 13.423
Remember these totals over cover firms that report, actually quarter gold production is really more like 20 million ounces when you add Russia, China, former Soviet Republics, etc.... |
