- So what happened to Barrick at $320, $325, $350, $450, $500, $525, $700+?

It cost them $814M in the 1st quarter. But they were able to manage it seems. Don't ask me about this off-balance-sheet accounting, I don't understand it.

Barrick covered much of their hedge position at 500 plus, at year end, which served as a catalyst for the run up in gold.

They are idiots, as had a very wide window for several years to do this when gold was 260-325. If I was a miner I'd be hedging some now.
