ive had a bit of a look and i can see imediate potential almost all of the gold produced 2010 was hedged at $650 and gold is now sitting at over $1300 and almost all the sliver for this year and next at current production has been hedged at $11.50 with prices @ $23 dollars now you only need to look at what the chinese did with pem when the brought in to see exactly what their plan is straight after the purchased 52% of pem the helped obtain low intrest funding through chinese banks to buy out pems bad silver hedge which turned the company instantly into a very profitable low cost producer this has even managed to keep them making a good profit over the recent downturn in metal prices not to mention coppers recent high having the chinese behind us gives us near unlimited low cost funding in a time when it is still hard for companies to borrow enabling us to pick what they consider the cream of the crop. i fail to see how this is a bad deal for them to get into if someone has a vaild reason please let us know i took the following extract from the asx notice
