The Counter party to short sellers were ultimately consumers of the metal, mainly the jewelry trade followed by investors(although one could argue that a large portion of the jewelry trade is used as a store of wealth in many countries) and industrial users. Most of that gold is still around and ready to be melted down for the right price and circumstances.
