For fun as well...
Mining companies that blew up during the late 70's gold rush!! People are comparing our gold market now to then.
Some examples were: Lion Mines - 1975 price $0.07 / 1980 price $380! -- YES that's right, it's not a misprint you could of bought 10,000 shares of lion mines in 1975 for around $700 dollars - and if you held on for the whole 5 years until January 1980 you could have netted a total profit of around $3,799,300. Not bad hey!!!!! A few others were Bankeno - 1975 price $1.25 / 1980 price $430. Wharf Resources - 1975 price $0.40 / 1980 price $560. Steep Rock - 1975 price $.93 / 1980 price $440, Mineral Resources - 1975 price $.60 / 1980 price $415 . Azure Resources - 1975 price $0.05 / 1980 price $109
