4q14 G&A per gold ounce of a selection of junior and senior producers

Here's a chart:

EDR did a good job of keeping its office costs down this quarter. The 'new normal' seems to be between $60/oz and $80/oz and there's no reason why any comapny should be spending more than that, I'd vouch. Meanwhile if you want to use gold taps in your office bathroom, go work for a silver mining company (though FVI and GPR are bound to tell you that layoffs and severance cheques are part of that gig, as in 3q14 both those were around $100/oz).

Here's the table that made that chart, for reference purposes:

Ticker	4q14 G&A ($m)	Oz Au or AuEq prod	$ G&A/oz
EDR	1.572	44286	35.50
RIO	2.835	57908	48.96
EDV	7.5	119729	62.64
ABX	102	1527000	66.80
FR	4.21	60679	69.38
KGC	51.2	672051	76.18
RIC	1.945	23854	81.54
BTO	9.957	118953	83.71
AR	3.733	44312	84.24

GPR	1.868	13015	143.53
FVI	5.209	32156	161.99
in case of silver mines, conversion to AuEq done at 70/1
