Alacer Gold Corp. (ASR) fell another 19 cents to $1.98 on 2.98 million shares while Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM) fell $2.91 to $50.40 on 1.68 million shares.

Scott Perry and Stephen Lang's Centerra Gold Inc. (CG) lost 28 cents to $6.99 on 2.18 million shares on word the company did not declare a third quarter dividend and is indefinitely suspending future dividend payments.

Unofficially, it is because of the steadily deteriorating relationship between Canterra and the Kyrgyz government, and one that was frequently fractious to begin with.
