Auto, hard to say. One thing about PRU, though, is we see what the actual/net/all up (or "all-in") costs per ounce are for the company. I doubt we see that for many of the others.

The new PRU MD, Mr Quartermaine says cash costs have been focussed on in the gold sector, as opposed to "all in/all up" costs, so the market assumes more profit is being made than it is. In the PRU presentation:
http://hotcopper.com.au/announcements.asp?id=530511
Forecast cash production costs (excluding royalties, capital):
? US$755/oz for second half of FY2013
? US$645/oz for Full FY2013
• “All up” Full FY2013 forecast site cash cost of approximately US$1,100/oz including production, capital costs and royalties)

In other words, even in Africa, where people think wages are cheap, therefore, gold is all done for a song, are wrong. $1100 is not too bad, because with POG at current levels of $1560, PRU is still making a net profit of $460/oz.
The strong will survive here, in this climate of POG (I still don't think $1560/oz is devastating). PRU, if they meet their low target of 208,700/oz this year, will make a profit of $96m this full year. PRU has to be one of the strongest goldies out there. Having said that, another 10% or $70m knocked off the market cap today. This one has integrity of reporting, though, and that accounts for a LOT in this market.
