Gold Prices Stagnate While Production Continues to Skyrocket
The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on Yamana Gold & AuRico Gold
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/20/12 -- Gold prices have been relatively muted this month due to strengthening investor optimism on the United States' economic outlook along with a sharp rise in treasury yields. The fall in gold prices has led one or more central banks to buy as much as four tonnes of bullion in recent weeks, according to a recent Financial Times report. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in the Gold industry and provides equity research on Yamana Gold Inc. (NYSE: AUY) (TSX: YRI) and AuRico Gold Inc. (NYSE: AUQ) (TSX: AUQ).

According to the 'Mineral Commodity Summaries 2012' recently released by the U.S. Geological Survey the world's gold-producing countries bolstered their output in 2011, producing a total of 2,700 tons of gold, a 5.5 percent increase on 2010. According to the China Gold Association, China's gold output reached a record high of 360.96 tons in 2011, cementing its top global ranking for the fifth consecutive year. Statistics from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also show that the country's gold mining sector continued to expand in January with a rise of about 3.69% from the same month a year ago.
China's increasing gold output remains nowhere near the country's huge appetite for consuming gold, however, which rose to roughly 800 tons in 2011.

While gold prices are finally falling off 52 week highs, gold mining stocks continue to lag near 52 week lows. Patrick Chidley, mining analyst for HSBC, argues that gold miners are "expanding their margins rapidly and as their earnings increase, these companies are paying very strong dividends."
The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) -- which seeks to replicate an index that provides exposure to publicly traded companies worldwide involved primarily in the mining for gold, representing a diversified blend of small, mid and large-capitalization stocks -- is down more than seven percent over the last month.
