FGX is also my largest holding. I have bought over the last two years between $6.00 and $4.30, and I have not sold. Below $5, it was the best investment that I have seen in five years of studying the junior exploration companies.

Let the fun begin: South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers has voted "overwhelmingly" in favour of a strike, and has given notice that it will begin a full-scale walk-out on Thursday, July 26, according to News24. The NUM and the Chamber of Mines will meet Tuesday morning in a bid to reach an agreement to avert the strike by more than 150,000 gold miners and more than 20,000 coal miners. The dispute revolves around wages and benefits, with the miners asking for a R2,000 (US$245) per month minimum wage, an 8.5% wage increase, and 30 days annual leave. The strike would affect operations owned by AngloGold, Harmony, Gold Fields and Placer Dome, among others. South Africa is the world's largest gold producer. (July 23, 2001)
