carwoman- Hi, most of what I remember is vague and don't ask specific companies because most don't exist anymore mainly due to mergers and buyouts. Most junior exploration companies either go under or get bought out by one of the majors. All things being equal, in a gold buying frenzy some and certainly not all junior explorers shoot up exponentially to the POG. The trick is finding the ones that do shoot up. In searching for them look at the management team as close as the assay results, they are equally important. In answer to your question, it would not be unusual to see a 25¢ stock hit $20, or a $3 stock go way over $50. If you want to look close enough to what happenned during that time period, you will find many more than one or two examples of share price increases similar. Once again the key is finding the ones that will fly, and that is never an east task.
