| |   |  Citi's bearish gold sector report out  today is Bullish for Pershing Gold. Think about it. Yes, projects with all-in  costs of $1,100 + per ounce are doomed unless gold prices rebound to $1,600 or  more. If that happens, all juniors will go up a lot and everyone will be happy.  
  However, if gold prices are stuck between $1,100 and $1,400 per ounce  for an extended period, then Pershing's low-cost, low-risk, project and blue sky  exploration potential for additional low-cost, low-risk projects should be  increasingly valuable. Not to mention the 100% owned, built and paid for  processing facilities. 
  Mid-tier, and eventually larger gold companies,  need to replace the substantial amount of current and planned production that's  out of the money...... 
  These companies can start staking ground in  Nevada to replace production in 10 years, or acquire companies like Pershing  Gold with first production next year. Instead of waiting for CDE to acquire  Pershing, why not consider all three, CDE, Pershing and Rye Patch being acquired  by a Major retrenching from Africa? |
