I was examining the 2012 quarterly accounts-summary without details-they were mining more gold at lower prices and higher costs and though gross revenue was up,debt was up sharply while cash down likewise.It appears their cash burn was high,of course they were getting in more plant and maybe more labour then ? More up to date figures would prove that yes/no.Of course most gold mines are getting higher costs due to oil and wages.While gold itself is cheaper.I still feel OMI is basically a good company,of course execs. leaving is not good.Yes agree the worrying thing was mining more gold but getting less profits from it.This might still be a bargain SP long term once these shenanigans are sorted out ? Commodity prices have been forced down as QE bites,which hits resource companies hard..
