The B2B sites may eventually have some impact on mining.
Two relatively new ones:
aluminum.com
basemetalsexchange.com

If miners sell their products directly to their final consumers, what impact would it have on the futures exchanges ?
Especially reporting and disclosure - would we ever know the buyers, sellers, and amounts of these private transactions ?

And of course, the gold venture at: goldavenue.com

Notice how silver hasn't fallen? The market has quit listening to Gold Fields Mineral ServiceLtd. Is the market calling their analysis flawed because it is paid for by the shorts? Has their creditibility been ruined for all time?
Remember how Gold Fields Mineral Service had said gold would go to $200 just before the rally to $320?

Palm Springs, Calif.--Apr 17--Gold Fields Mineral Services Ltd. has "revised up" its estimates of silver stocks held by the Chinese government, although the figures will not be publicly available until the release of its silver market report in late May, said Philip Klapwijk, GFMS managing
director. He said that GFMS was shocked by the 'size of the flows' of silver coming out of China. (Story .24147)
