well low cost producers such as new gold and yamada are viable with low gold price....they both have cash..ngd for eg has 430 mill. if I recall right. Yri would have to be checked but they have 2 more projects coming on line...Those will be 2 I'm going to try and load on....already hold ngd, did't think it would falter as much, anyhow I suspect if everything crashes gold stocks since they lead the way could lead the way out of the ashes....
