Bob,

Here is an example of what I as warning folks about earlier this year. With improved gold prices miners are putting more resources into the reserve category.
biz.yahoo.com

S Africa Harmony: Gold Ore Reserves Up 49% On Year

"Harmony said it had resources in excess of 295 million troy ounces, with 49 million oz being in the reserve category. That is up from around 224 million oz in 2001, of which 33 million oz were in ore reserves category, the company said."


Exactly what do 'reserves' mean physically and financially to a gold miner?

What is the implication about which you were warning?

TIA, Don

Then not long ago you were sure the bear market was over. Can't have it both ways.

I think Goldcorp is making up a significant gold reserve as well according to their last statement. Barrick didn't increase production too, opposite. Everything would be in favour of higher POG, except I'm afraid US, Europe is going into vicious manufacturing costs and prices deflation a la Japan. Services like health care and other like gov't fees, insurance, will take the premiums but the picture for equities including gold stocks is more than cloudy. You were right on hoarding by miners.

Yes, Bob, you have been consistent in your warning. And I, too, have done verbal jousting with geo in denver and Enigma and others over this run gold into reserves when it is convenient and take them out of reserves when THAT is more advantageous. This capricious and "pErforma" <----pun alert shinanigan is old and abused and needs as much overhaul in my opinion as does the current "corporate climate" in the other industries. No wonder people avoid this sector as an investment consideration.

Just keep banging them on the head with numbers, Bob, and I'll keep hitting 'em with "in the trenches experiental truth" and maybe someone will save a bundle by looking for this phenom so they don't get blindsided in their due dilly.
