GSS has been performing well so far during this correction relative to peers, which suggest to me that some investors had their eyes on this one for just such a dip. The 1-year chart sure doesn't look like the chart of a company producing unhedged gold, which has gone up 34% over that year, while GSS is down 24% over the same period! Meanwhile, they are forecasting a 63% increase in production in 2008. Get the picture? This one has gone from cheap to ridiculously cheap... and there are plenty of other producing juniors out there in the same boat."Golden Star is a mid-tier gold mining company whose principal properties are located in Ghana, West Africa. The Company produced a record 246,278 ounces of unhedged gold in 2007 from its Bogoso/Prestea and Wassa open pit mines. In 2008, we expect a significant increase in production of approximately 370,000 to 425,000 ounces at an average cash cost of $490 to $540 per ounce."

June 26, 08Today they announced that the cost of power may rise from 10 cents to 20-24cents per kwh, adding $60 to $85 per ounce to cost. In as much as gold has been in the $800 range for some time and the company is operating at a loss, this does not add up to a positive for the stock price. As a holder of the shares, this concerns me, as well as the fact that it seems the more business they do, they poorer the stock does. It just doesn't add up. Perhaps you and/or others could share any insights you might have.

Yikes well it crashed through 2.30 today, glad I didn't double down. Here's hoping it finds a floor soon. I'd like to buy more, but catching falling knives ain't my thing.
