evidence the gold boom has started..., page-14

will be interesting to see if gold gets bid up on open as the fighting over the Gaza Strip has escalated over the weekend.

with production falling and investment demand rising to the point it is hard to get hold of the physical gold product, it seems everything is lining up for a spectacular golden age.

in these times look for producers that are increasing productions and keeping costs under control.

Given the credit crisis it is extremely hard for smaller explorers to bridge the gap from exploration to production.

I would have to say my favourite at the moment is SBM given the start up of their Leonora operations in Western Australia pushing yearly production up to the 285-300k oz level.
