		<description><![CDATA[Think gold is another asset bubble waiting to pop? The strength of the mining stocks is telling a different story based on a mix of near-term and secular trends. The big picture story we know: in an era of fiat currencies being printed to fulfill quantitative easing policies, the barbarous relic has renewed its status as a monetary vehicle, a way for investment managers to diversify their exposure to dollars, euros, yen, or pounds. Holders of paper currency, printed to sustain numerous, ominous bubbles of debt, have an appetite for exchanging it for &#8220;hard&#8221; currency. And this hunger is only likely to continue. The near-term story is that we are in the midst of a seasonally strong period for gold where it&#8217;s very likely the yellow metal makes a run ]]></description>

I am. While gold and silver are up 30 percent this year, the mining stocks continue to lag. Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX) and Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), the two largest gold producers in North America, are break-even for the year. Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL), the country’s largest silver producer, is down 35 percent even though earnings have doubled. The major South African gold stocks, like Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI) and AngloGold (NYSE: AU), are down for the year. The Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) has been extremely volatile and is break-even for the year. There are exceptions, but the overall trend ]]></description>

In order to focus more on the high-growth and high-margin business, the CEO now wants to spin off or sell H-P’s lower-margin PC business, wash its hands of the webOS business (still looking for a take-off) and buy out business software maker Autonomy Corp. The focus shift would help H-P evolve as a software and services company, without any reliance on the hardware businesses.

		<description><![CDATA[Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX) and its Chilean-based partner Antofagasta are likely to succeed mining rights for a $3.3 billion copper and gold project in Pakistan. Tethyan Copper Co. (TCC), a joint venture between Barrick Gold and Antofagasta, one of the world&#8217;s largest copper miners, has been granted an exploration license for the Reko Diq site. Tethyan, formerly a subsidiary of Australia&#8217;s Mincor Resources, has a 75% interest, and the remaining 25% are with the Balochistan government. The first stage of the project, which is expected to start production in 2015, would produce 200,000 tonnes of copper and up to 300,000 ounces of gold a year. Earlier in 2009, Barrick and Antofagasta had announced plans to invest up to $3 billion in a copper and gold mine at Reko Diq in ]]></description>

The officials are probing whether Newmont should retain a controlling stake in Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT). PTNNT is Newmont’s most profitable Indonesian business. Newmont is required to reduce its stake in the subsidiary, which operates the vast Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in eastern Indonesia, to a minority holding, according to rules aimed at protecting assets considered as national interest. The Indonesian government would sell 7% stake that it will buy in the Indonesian unit of Newmont to local governments with an aim to diffuse opposition from some lawmakers against central government’s plan to buy  stake in PTNNT.

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the excellent first-quarter 2011 results provided by Newmont Mining Corporation (NEM), we are downgrading our recommendation from Outperform to Neutral based on a number of challenges that the company faces at the Boddington mine.

The project is located in the southern Argentinean province of Santa Cruz at an elevation of approximately 600 meters above sea level. In this regard, Goldcorp expects the average annual gold production during the first 5 years to be approximately 550,000 ounces at average cash costs of less than $200 per ounce of gold, resulting in the doubling of the plant throughput to 4,000 tonnes per day.

There’s just too much evidence that gold is in the early stages of consolidation. Let me explain why… Gold Prices Heading Down the Dot Com Path? What supports my assertion that gold prices are headed lower in the near-term?

Today, we’ve got a similar situation in the gold market. ]]></description>

In July of this year, Barrick Gold had announced the start of the construction of Pascua Lama, on the border of Chile and Argentina, before September. The project was approved by the Chilean environmental impact evaluation system through a resolution issued in 2006. However, the resolution also determined that the initiative needed to meet a number of environmental conditions and requirements before construction could start. Environmentalists have criticized Pascua Lama, claiming that operations at the mine will affect the water resources in the vicinity.
