Out of school??? What do you mean?

Well, you act like a 12yr old, I'd assumed you were on holiday from school.

nah! .... half term's over judging by the traffic here this morning

Must be playing truant :-)

price going up a fair bit today........anyone listening to hyleo will be seriously damaging their wealth

If they continue to fall they may go sub 100p..

Good movement yesterday is that a double bottom if so I will watch this next week with a view to buy.. any views..?

I'm in double bottom I like.

Latest price $823 in NY this could be the break-out runours that COMEX has not got the physical gold for Dec contract my view we are about to start the next bull run to $1500 .. POG back to 15 would be great.

Up 30% Monday and up 20% so far today this is one great stock.

.

for once missed out on what was a fave stock of mine for a long time .... hey ho!

In these markets though Cynic, todays missed oppertunity can be tomorrows big mistake....

The price will no doubt come back to retest the lows (or at least somewhere near) to confirm this really is a bottom/new uptrend.

In my opinion.

Strawbs.

There you go cynic its back to 300p now is your chance to buy.

Makes for interesting reading.

Flying yet again but took some profits at 340p remembered cyners warning yesterday.

Think theres still a lot more to come in the near future

i don't think anyone has posted the interview comments bedlow, but they make interesting reading and go quite a long way, i suspect, to explain the sudden surge .....

Russian gold producer Peter Hambro Mining Plc is confident healthy margins will generate enough cash flow to allow it to build new mines despite weak gold prices.

Executive Chairman Peter Hambro told Reuters the debt-laden firm was keeping an eye on its $180 million convertible bond with an initial redemption date next October, but the current trading of the complex instrument was favourable to the firm.

The company has an ambitious plan to boost output from new mines, but a sharp fall in the gold price is not expected to be an obstacle, he said in an interview late on Friday.

Margins are more important than the absolute level of the gold price, which has shed around a quarter since touching a record over $1,000 per ounce in March.

"The headline gold price is exciting to the media, but what we care about is what we are left with at the end from the ounces we have produced and currently the margins are still looking pretty good," Hambro said.

Hambro, one of the world's lowest-cost gold producers, is seeing margins of around $350 to $400 per ounce, he said.

Even though the spot gold price has come off its record highs, trading around $790 per ounce on Monday morning, the firm has benefited from lower costs.

"We had a big spike in (Russian) PPI in the first half of the year and that's (since) come down, the oil price has come down, the exchange rate has changed and wage pressure is down," Hambro said.


HIGHER OUTPUT

Good margins together with higher output are expected to generate enough cash to cover the costs of expanding its new Pioneer mine and building the new Malomir mine.

The firm's capital expenditure is estimated at $72 million for the second half of 2008 and $142 million for next year.

The firm has reiterated that it expects to meet its target to produce 350,000 to 400,000 ounces this year, an increase of between 18 and 35 percent from 2007.

The first stage of the new Pioneer mine launched production earlier this year and a second stage is due to come on stream in the middle of 2009. The firm has not released a production forecast for next year, but an analyst said it may be around 500,000 ounces.

The firm's cash flow is key since the company is highly geared, with around $320 million in debt, higher than its market capitalisation of around $260 million.

Its shares, which have shed 82 percent this year amid a collapse in mining shares, surged 17 percent to 215.20 pence on Friday, outperforming a 5.3 percent increase in the UK mining index < .FTNMX1770>.

The earliest debt redemption the company would face would be in October next year, the first date that investors can redeem a $180 million convertible bond issued a year ago.

The structure of the bond, however, works in the company's favour since it is linked to a gold price of $1,000 per ounce.

If gold is trading below $1,000 next October, investors in theory could redeem the bond at a lower gold price and take a loss, but are likely to wait for the bond to run closer to its end date of October 2012 to profit from a possible run-up in the gold price.

"The bond's currently trading at a premium to its exchangeability," Hambro said, noting that this reflected the potential for profits for bond holders if gold rises $1,000. "We're keeping an eye on it, but it's not something overly concerning."

If gold was trading above $1,000 at redemption, the firm's margins and cash flow would be that much stronger, so meeting the obligations would not be onerous, he added.
