read that Placer Dome has 12% of its reserves hedged
this might enable them to rid themselves of most contracts
as you know my opinion, forward sales are like hydrochloric acid to the company's balance sheets

I saw no mention in the story by Placer on unwinding hedges

a really smart newsletter editor likes Placer here
I think dozens of smallcaps are much better prospects

but I sure love the story that smallcaps are being bid up
it should help the little guys enormously
the biggys will need to secure more reserves
the industry reports a shortfall of 1000 tons per year
