Thanks for the article. It would seem that once gold comes back and gold-mining is on the up again, more miners would be at risk from AIDS and there would be more AIDS victims. Seems to me there is potential capital in the article for the anti-gold guys to take a stand to do away with gold-mining in South Africa. Which may be good for gold in case the POG goes back up??? Because mine closures would result in a shortage of gold??? I think the South African management should provide its single miners with artificial "pussies"* and/or life-size models of sexy women* (such are available from Sex Shops etc) in an attempt to reduce the number of AIDS victims <ggg>. Surely the horrendous savings resulting from such a plan would justify the initial costs??? <ggg> **P.S. Of course it will not be as good as the real thang. But, for the desperate, it may be OK enough.

> How much longer can S. Africa production remain at current levels? You must really want gold to go up. When Gold Fields had several miners killed, your main concern was mine closure reducing production. With the recent earthquake in Peru killing more people, you focused again on gold production. Now the plight of those with AIDS/HIV is a concern because it might affect gold production. Are you also hoping for a small nucleur war in a part of the world that will not affect you but will increase the gold price ? Maybe you could join an environmental group to get mining stopped, or a terrorist group like ELF to set explosions in mines to reduce gold production ?
