'Norseman Gold Plc accounts for 9 per cent and 10 per cent of the top ten buys and sells respectively after announcing it has halted trading in its shares on the Australian Stock Exchange pending an update on its operations and corporate restructuring, although the company rose 14.5 per cent this morning in London to trade at 6.35 pence.

'Medusa Mining entered the top ten sells accounting for 8.9 per cent after telling investors today that it now forecast 75,000 ounces of gold production in 2012 due to disruptions caused by stormy weather in December. Despite the news, the miner’s share price increased slightly this morning.'
