I like AEM here, they seem to be running on all cylinders now.

They also recieve good credits from Zinc and copper.

From their recent news release.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gold and byproduct metal production to be essentially unchanged in 2005

A summary of the estimated metal production and cash operating costs together with the material assumptions used in the company's estimates for 2005 follows.

Ore processed: 2,911,000 tons

Daily throughput rate: 7,975 tons

Grades

Gold: 0.11 ounce per ton

Silver: 2.28 ounces per ton

Zinc: 3.89 per cent

Copper: 0.44 per cent

Payable metal production

Gold: 280,000 ounces

Silver: 5.5 million ounces

Zinc: 1.6 million pounds

Copper: 18 million pounds

Mine site operating costs: $48 to $50 (Canadian) per ton

Total cash operating costs $135 to $145 per ounce

Assumptions

Gold: $375 per ounce

Silver: $6.00 per ounce

Zinc: 45 cents per pound

Copper: $1.15 per pound

Canadian/United States dollar exchange rate: 1.27

LaRonde's total cash operating cost guidance is based on byproduct metal price assumptions that are well below prices realized to date in 2004. If current metal prices and exchange rates were used, total cash operating costs would be in the range of $100 per ounce.
