Interesting that the shorts increased on 17th and 18th January by 255.7K and 266.1K when normal volume was just over 1 million shares on both days. I think that Zhaojin need to let us know how many shares they have bought firm before the latest offer extension date of 9th February. Hopefully the January production numbers with a gold price in the $2030-$2050 range might just see them retire .
