0003 GMT - UBS reminds Australian gold producers to be prepared for any prolonged pullbacks in gold prices, as mining costs drift higher. Gold companies have been increasingly "chasing incremental, lower-margin material and production growth albeit at higher unit costs" to take advantage of record-high metal prices, UBS says. "While many gold miners are protected in the short/medium term by puts struck at very strong prices, we continue to watch the recent volatility in gold," the bank says.
