none of ABX's hedging is this simple - but I think they have 20% of 80MM oz hedged and if so - that's 16MM oz and they can defer out a max of 15 yrs that they have to pay out that gold at 310 an oz. So as long as gold is 350 +,
then ABX is always gonna be $640MM on the wrong side. Sure they have other gold though that ain't margined so they will get 400 gold spot for some and 310 for others and suck in terms of net profit vs someone like G.
Nice to see that G had more net profit with less oz last 1/4 vs ABX. That must feel good over at G.
