(con't) - the producers, as true hedgers, presumably run a loan account with central banks or intermediaries, and these loans are settled on an ongoing basis - possibly with gold from production - via the mint or whatever ultimate refinery they use. I don't know it there is any data re: the percentage of gold sold short by producers vs speculators - it is the latter breed where the cans of worms may reside. e

In the US when a lessee sells a leased item without the permission of the lessor, that act is innocuously termed "conversion". Lessors prefer this euphemism, as they hesitate to call it theft.
