Clearly not the case here. ABX sold short paper gold (future production) at $300 and hasn't supplied it yet.

"- As of September 30, 2005, Barrick had pre-sold 13.6 million ounces of gold at prices well below the current price of gold
- Barrick’s gold sales contracts are at an average price of approximately $300 per ounce, but gold is currently trading over $490 per ounce"
