Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
You might be interested in this press release today
from Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd., which stresses that the
company's hedging is entirely a matter of obtaining
downside protection by buying puts while leaving the
company fully exposed to any rise in the price of gold.
No gold price-depressing forward sales here.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
We owe another debt of gratitude to our good friend
Arthur Hailey, the novelist and longtime advocate of
gold's traditional monetary function, who remarks
favorably about GATA in a big feature story about him
in the current issue of BusinessAge magazine. The
story follows. Please post it as seems useful.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
While today's article about gold in the Financial Times
calls GATA a quot;fringe group,quot; it pretty much accepts our
premises and predicts success for our campaign against
excessive hedging by gold mining companies. So we'll
take this as a big score for our side.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's something unusual: Mainstream press commentary
in favor of gold. It's from Thom Calandra over last weekend
at www.CBSMarketWatch.com. It seems largely
responsible for the jump in price of shares of Golden Star
Resources (GSR) on Monday and Tuesday.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's an article about gold and hedging from today's
New York Times. It probably won't tell you much you
don't know, but it's interesting that the hedging issue
has made the mainstream press here, and there are
some plugs for a few companies.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
