Forbes reported that gold miners are seeing the upside of higher gold prices and enjoying bigger margins in third quarter.
As quoted in the market news:
There are a couple of compelling reasons why profit margins are likely on the rise. Gold prices averaged US$1,706 an ounce in the third quarter, up 13% compared with US$1,509/oz in the second. The currencies of gold-producing countries, such as Canada and Australia, all depreciated against the U.S. dollar in the quarter, which should have a positive impact on costs.
