"it all depends on pog"
Common mistake that... It's the aisc that matters, hum is a marginal business.
Price of gold is a currency pair and thus inverted to the strength of the dollar. When gold goes up, the dollar goes down and vice versa. In a world of a rising pog, the cost to operate rises significantly.
For instance if pog fell back to 1750 and HUM's aisc fell back to a circa 2018 level of 750 then HUM would be making 250 dollars an ounce more than they are currently making today
Pog is irrelevant, margin is everything.
