Thanks for those links. It indeed looks like ABX is rebranding its wholesale exchange and trying to make it more global in steps. What interested me most in the original concept is the opportunity to have producers of PM sell straight into that system, which would allow them to bypass the bullion banks. I have no idea how far they have come in that area.

We'll have to see if this system of exchanges can play any (substantial) role in linking up to the plans Shanghai has in yuan denominated gold trading. I saw in one of your links that AMX Global does have an office in Shanghai. So Shanghai must be important for them. Whether the SGE assigns an important role to ABX Global is yet to be seen.
