Capital Casebook Equity March 12, 2004 (AXcess News) Reno NV - With gold trading at decent levels, most precious metals mining companies that concentrate in gold production are having a banner year. Should gold prices remain high investors assume the underlying shares of these companies will too. Guess again, there's a gap in gold production looming.Over the last several years gold mining companies were turning up production levels which in turn helped improve their earnings. Reno-based Meridian Gold (NYSE: MDG, TSX: MNG) reported record operating cash flows of $24 million for the quarter. Due in large part to record throughput at the El Penon mine, averaging 2,050 dry tons per operating day, which is an increase of 17% year-over-year.
