Gold Index

May, 2002
(Editor's note:
A reader from 'down under' asked me to post this at 321gold.
Please help the Australians get their Gold Index back)
==============================================
XGO PROTEST CAMPAIGN
- Give us OUR Gold Index!
==============================================
By way of
background, Standard and Poor's are contracted to calculate indices
for the Australian markets. The Australian Stock Exchange has
agreed to use the "GICS" or Global Industry Classification
Standard.
GICS
does NOT have a gold index. Rather, Gold is "blended"
into a Materials Index.
Gold is
one of Australia's 4 major export industries. It sits behind
coal, but almost on a par with crude oil exports and iron ore
exports in 2001/2002.
We want
our Gold Index back, so please help...
Send an email
to one-two-three ( or ALL ) of the companies listed below and
let them know what we want...

Index. AGC need our strong support, so absolutely ensure you

There have been many complaints to the ASX on this already, given
the gold sector's importance to Australian exports, and given
the weight of the remaining gold stocks in the ASX.
We may not be successful in overturning this ( rather poor )
decision, but we won't know unless we try!
Give it a Go!
