    While I see that as a temporary response to the currency destruction being engineered by central bankers -- people only have their gold to sell to get cash, so it's depressing the price --�BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP  ) is also looking to strip away things it now considers unessential to its main operations, and it has idled a number of coal mines and is looking to shed oil and gas assets because they're deemed the easiest to get rid of. Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF  ) is idling iron pellet facilities because of weakness in the steel industry.

    Grasberg's horrendous happenings
    On May 14, a training area in a Grasberg tunnel, away from the company's main operating areas, caved in on 38 workers. While 10 of the victims were rescued, the rest perished. The following day, Freeport suspended its operations at the big facility, which, in addition to its copper output, contains the world's largest reserves of gold. Only BHP Billiton's (NYSE: BHP  ) Escondida facility in Chile can boast a size advantage over Grasberg.

    Yet with coal consumption and production waning in the U.S., a number of high-profile miners are exiting the industry. Both Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO  ) and BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP  ) are selling coal assets to focus more on core operations.�Because Walter has a global outlook, its fortunes will rise and fall with what happens in international markets, and there still look to be deep pockets of weakness. We might not have seen the end to its stock's fall.
