I tried to find out a little more regarding the 9m. shares transferred last Thursday but didn't get very far.

I received an email to my earlier enquiry as to the code that showed against the 2m. shares transferred the day previously (S3XT being "a trade had been executed through two brokers that found a bid and ask amongst each other"). I then sent a further email to Westpac Broking to enquire of the code L5XT, the code beside the 9M. trade.

I received no reply from this further email enquiry, so I phoned. But the chap who answered my call said he would need to refer to one of the traders. When he got back on the phone his explanation was "two brokers matching off orders after close of trading" Didn't seem to be much different an explanation to the 2m. trade.

So fingers crossed that the price of gold continues its upward momentum and improves the share price for us patient holders.
