Old rumour, from the lips of . . . Dale himself, "10MM ozs!"

IMHO, still 2 to 5 years away.

Short term, the rise of gold and Jr producing equities (Particularly, near term, cos who have already established positive CF with reasonable resource estimates.) is set to the "explode mode"!

WHy? Because the $$$ value of funds and derivatives circumnavigating the globe is estimated at 100 trillion and growing all of which have managers whose job is to beat the indexes. (Falure to do so usually finds these managers ((decision makers)) unemployed!) In order to fullfill this corporate demand gold and related equities will become the "go to" investment!

Remember Nortel!! Every Fund manager and his dog rushed into the stock driving it to diseying heights!! At its peak Nortel was valued at many times more than the entire gold industry!

The "rush" into gold and its related equities has begun, with just a bare minimum of air in the "bubble!"

IMHO, nothing can stop it!!

Its becoming a case of the first one in, not the first one out!
