for starters I would suggest looking at KGC....

merging with TVX and ECO in third qtr which will turn them from a "junior" to a "senior" in short order!

their cost of getting gold out of the ground will be below $200 an oz

Management will remain totally KGC...

2 million oz a year production, minimum, with the highest leverage in the industry

deal should be done by September

Fidelity 2nd LARGEST shareholder of KGC

>>Fidelity Funds Boost Kinross Gold Stake To 10.21%
BOSTON (Dow Jones)--Certain fund accounts for which Fidelity Management & Research Co. serves as investment adviser have purchased 3,180,400 shares of Kinross Gold Corp. (KGC).

In a news release, Fidelity said that, as a result of the purchase, it holds 36,576,300 shares of Kinross, or a 10.21% stake.DOW JONES NEWS 06-11-02>>

IF you like gold, and you think the move is real, this is a terrific starter with pretty decent upside IMO.....

Augie, Here is a list composed by harry schultz, who has been following gold for decades.

It's based on % of yearly production hedged

agnico eagle 0
ashanti 873%
aurion gold 862%
anglo gold 184%
barrick 298%
cambior 309%
cameco 400%
durban deep(drooy) 67%
echo bay 27%

glamis, goldcorp,goldfields 0

hecla 102%
newmont 124%
normandy 400%
placer dome 1202% no typo
sons of gwalia 1157%
tvx gold 220%

The interesting thing is that only 19% of all gold hedging or short positions is by the producers. That means that the other 81% is done for speculation or other reasons for keeping the price of gold supressed.
Also interesting to note that the total nominal value of derivatives on the books of the commercial banks of the reporting nations of the imf survey that was done is as folows:

900,000,000 ounces or $278000,000,000,000 @320 gold(price as I write)
All the central banks in the world have about 890,579,485 ounces. You can see why the $330 mark was defended so heavily in gold, as that seems to be the line in the sand where their derivatives will start melting
