		<description><![CDATA[The gold mining industry is watching its production costs surge amid rising energy prices, inflation and increasing labor costs. In 2012, Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX), the world’s largest primary gold producer, says its total cash operating cost could increase 13% to 22%. Meanwhile, Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), another key gold stock, expects to see a 6%-to-14% rise in costs applicable to gold sales. The industry is hoping that rising gold prices will buoy the hike in production costs. An annual survey of industry predictions by the London Bullion Market Association forecasts gold could top $2,000 an ounce this year. The outlook – made by 26 leading precious metals analysts from the world’s largest bullion-dealing banks and trading houses – underscores bullish speculation of gold prices in the broader market.

		<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.

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.

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.

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.

Total revenue was $2.5 billion, up 10% year over year, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.6 billion. Attributable gold and copper production was 1.3 million ounces and 57 million pounds, respectively, in the quarter at costs applicable to sales of $557 per ounce, and $1.11 per pound on a co-product basis.

Last year, it mined net profits of $3.3 billion, but it wants more… So it recently surprised the market with a $7.6-billion bid for Canadian-Australian copper mining company Equinox Minerals (OTC: EQXMF.PK).

The move might seem strange for a solid gold company. But Barrick wants to diversify, despite shareholder angst. African Copper Barrick isn’t the only company interested in Equinox; China’s Minmetals Resources tried to acquire it, as well.

		<description><![CDATA[Costs are becoming a growing concern for gold miners across the world. In this regard, Goldcorp Inc. (GG) has decided to set aside its acquisition strategies for the time being and concentrate only on developing its large pipeline of projects in America. In the previous year itself, Goldcorp had pursued about half-dozen deals. In September 2010, Goldcorp agreed to buy gold miner Andean Resources Ltd for C$3.6 billion ($3.2 billion), trumping a rival bid from Eldorado Gold Corporation. Before this, in January, 2010, Goldcorp signed agreement to acquire Xstrata&#8217;s 70% interest in the El Morro copper/gold project in Chile through an agreement with midtier miner New Gold, the company that owns the remaining 30%.

(GG) increased its monthly dividend for 2011 to $0.034 per share, an 11% increase over the prior dividend.  The dividend is payable on March 25, 2011 to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2011. Goldcorp has been paying a monthly dividend to its shareholders since 2003. The dividend increase was attributable to strong fourth-quarter 2010 earnings that the company announced in February. During the quarter, reported net earnings were $331.8 million compared with $66.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted net earnings were $417.1 million, or 57 cents per share compared with $182.7 million or 25 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2009. Results exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. The increase in results was driven by higher gold and silver ]]></description>

Weak US new home sales data took the markets to session lows during the day before rebuilding hopes pumped in modest momentum. However, the day saw very tight volumes, reflecting investors’ concern over global worries and bank-dividend disappointment. After trading in the negative zone during the early session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finally gained 0.6% and closed the day at 12,086.02. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 was up 0.3% and finished at 1,297.54. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,698.30 after surging 0.5%. Wednesday was one of the lightest days in terms of trading volumes on the New York Stock Exchange with composite volumes at a mere 3.9 billion shares. On ]]></description>

But the margin of the beating might surprise you… S&#38;P 500: The index kicked off the 21st century at 1,469 points. But it ended the decade at 1,115 points on December 31, 2009 – a drop of 24%.

Including one-time charges, the company earned $123.6 million or 16 cents per share during the quarter. The results of the company were positively impacted due to the acquisition of the West African company, Red Back Mining Inc., in the third quarter of 2010.  Due to this acquisition, Red Backs’ Chirano Gold Project in Ghana and the Tasiast Gold Mine in Mauritania were added to Kinross’ portfolio.

The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of the output. The largest segment of the global metals market is iron and steel, followed by aluminum. The iron and steel segment comprises more than half the industry in terms of volume. This industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products such as pipes, tubes, wire, spring, rolls and bars.

The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of production. Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region is witnessing higher production and consumption of metals, especially China and India. Their per capita consumption levels are graduating to U.S./European levels, which could &#8212; theoretically, at least &#8212; double metal demand in the longer term. Historically, the automotive and construction markets have been the largest drivers of metal consumption, accounting for more than 50% of the total demand. Other metal consuming industries include energy, electrical equipment, agricultural, domestic and commercial equipment and industrial machinery.

Barrick has offered about 101 million shares priced at $8.8 (575 pence), at the lower end of the expected price range of $8.6 to $10.1(550 pence to 650 pence).
