Why Did the LBMA Quietly Alter Its Gold Refining Flow Statistics Lower by 2,200 Tonnes for 2013?

``The supposition is that the LBMA originally counted gold bars that were taken from existing sources, such as their own stores, ETFs, and the Bank of England and re-refined into kilobars for delivery into Asia.   They later restated the number lower by 2,200 tonnes.   We have not been given the exact reason for this, but one suggestion is that the gold did not come from new mining or traditional recycling.
