From Pescod today:

NEWMONT MINING CORP. (US:NEM) $44.68 -3.01 Newmont Mining used to be considered one of the bestrun and most significant gold miners in the world, but over the last few years its image has been tarnished just a bit. Today they’ve got big news out and that news probably isn’t all that “new” to gold bugs who have been following the gold scene for years, but it certainly had an effect on the market today. It was a very brief, three paragraph announcement that said Newmont’s costs have risen from about $375 an ounce to $400 an ounce. No big surprise there as in the mining business, costs for anything from steel to labor to you-name-it is going up. Also, the second part to the little announcement wasn’t a surprise either in that “the gold company said it may have trouble finding new reserves to make up for levels it is mining since its mines are getting older with the bests quality ores already tapped.” Which again, is no surprise and just tells you what’s going on in the mining scene. The easy gold has been found and mined, and now the game is simply getting tougher and more expensive. Newmont Mining Ouch! www.newmont.com
