Bob McEwen, den ich für einen der klügsten Köpfen der Minenszene zähle, in einem höchst lesenswerten Interview.
Dieses ist heute im USX Thread diskutiert worden:
U S Gold / U X G (T S X)

And as we talked about at the beginning, the cost of producing an ounce of gold is going up, and it’s going up rapidly while annual production is going down. It’s harder to find gold; it’s more expensive to produce gold; and it takes longer to build new mines, yet more people want to buy it...."
