The percentage gain in profit margin is indeed more significant for higher-cost producers, an effect that is amplified by their lower valuation multiples. Consider an extreme example: a company with all-in sustaining costs of $3,500 per ounce would be nearly worthless at current gold prices. However, if gold were to rally sharply to, say, $5,000 per ounce, that same company's share price would appreciate dramatically, potentially outperforming lower-cost producers due to its leveraged margins. Conversely, if the price of gold were to decline substantially, the opposite would be true and these high-cost producers would face severe distress—though an astute investor would likely have exited the position well before that point. SRB is in good position. I think everyone should recycle greater profits into SRB and we either continue on this trend while others come down to us, or we break out.
