an example of how mines are leveraged to the price of gold is say DROOY has a production cost of $200 an oz, at pog of 250 they earn $50 an oz. now say gold goes to $300 an oz DROOY earns $100 an oz on production a 100% increase verses golds 17% increase.. thats just a rough example, useing hypothetical numbers. some mines are better leveraged than others...the 4.5 leverage factor is based on the industry average...i don't recall where that came from, but it's been a rule of thumb for years.
