Russ,

Production cutbacks are also starting to show in the slver market as well

businesswire.com

Base metals miners will do same big time as well if we get into a recession as many expect. there will be more Cominco who prefer to sell their electricity insted of using it to run their smelter.

I don't know when... but the opportunity of a life time in metals is coming. A deep recession in 2002 followed by a recovery would see metals prices go trhough the roof in the following 5 years.

While waiting for this grand bull, we should have one very nice rally in the fall.

> Aussie production dwindles

Here we go again for the second quarter <grin>

You point out the drops;
Newcrest 255 202 -43
Delta 130 119 -11
Sons Gwalia 117 98 -19
---------------------------
502 419 -73 -18%

I point out the gains:
Cameco 56 61 + 5
Freeport 359 752 +393
Goldcorp 19 161 +142
Miramar 30 37 + 7
---------------------------
471 1004 +533 +113%

NET RESULT 973 1423 +460 +46%

Too early in the reports to get a good feel for the numbers,
but flat seems more likely than any significant decrease.
