russett,

There is nothing wrong with hedging, however, if gold is in a bull market, then the cos with the hedges will not enjoy the cash flow they could have.

Also, your math is wrong: NGX can buy all the gold it wants today at $326, but is obliged to deliver 400,000 oz at $301. The cost to NGX is $25 / oz x 400,000 oz = $10m.

They can easily close out the entire position with the $US55m they raise.

As I have already said, I would value this co based on reserves & resources.

John.
