OUNCES (000s) LAST 12 PREV 12 CHANGE PERCENT --------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Barrick Gold 3748 3128 620 19.8% Rio Tinto plc 3204 2284 920 40.3% Freeport C&G 2844 2065 779 37.7% --------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- 9796 7477 2319 31.0% I did not comment on the data that I put together, but I just noticed that three firms have added over 2 million ounces of supply to primary mine production. Now we all know that Barrick was heading toward the 4 million ounce per year level, but did anyone know that two copper firms are heading toward 3 million ounces of gold production ? Lots of smaller miners are going to have to cut production to make up for the above.

> I agree. Trouble is I can't find the pages he gave us, with the > production graphs etc, from his home page. So now I'm gathering up > all the references in bookmarks I need to get all those pieces organized. The problem is that I started with production, then before I finished someone asked about supply, then I started working on a central bank reserve list, and now I'm back to quarterly gold production. I don't get paid enough to work this hard ;)
