Previous Junior Gold mining junior beneficiaries

[mithril56]

The following are bits of data I researched to understand the previous Junior Gold mining cycle beneficiaries.

Are PAST Investment returns (ROI) indicative of FUTURE Investment returns?

-1980 Gold Super Cycle: 2,313.7% average R.O.I. (based on 18 gold juniors)
-1996 Gold Super Cycle: 3,873.0% average R.O.I. (based on 11 gold juniors)
-2010/2011 Gold Super Cycle: 2,677.0% average R.O.I. (based on 52 gold juniors)
-2010/2011 Gold Super Cycle: generated 118 significant junior investment transactions by seniors (as Strategic Investments, Joint Venture Agreements, and outright Acquistitions).

ps. The aforementioned Return-On-Investment (ROI) are averages only.  Some of the ROI were unbelievable.

For example, in the 1996 super cycle: Cartaway Gold was trading at $0.10 and was acquired 26 months later at a share price of $26.14 a 26,040% ROI.

Also in the same period, Arequipa Resources was trading at $0.60 was acquired some 19 months later for a share price of $34.75 a 5,691.7% ROI.

In the 1980 super cycle: Copper Lake was trading at $0.08 and was acquired 30 months later fo $10.50 per share, a 13,025% ROI.

In the 2010, 2011 super cycle: what stood out in my research was that some 118 Juniors were involved in a major transaction with a senior Gold producer during this period (as Strategic Investments, Joint Venture Agreements, and outright Acquisitions).

We are entering similar times.  

Interesting times for LAURION!

I wouldn't say we are entering similar times. We are in it NOW.  Gold just hit RECORD prices in:  - British Pounds - Euro -Australian Dollar -Chinese Yuan -Japanese Yen - Korean Won   Next up is the US Dollar

mithril56, I googled the companies you listed but was unable to find much information. Could you please post a link?

Hi Neil68 - Finding historical stock data can be tricky, here is the article I found that had a good summary. https://munknee.com/interested-gold-stocks-article-must-read/ www.24hgold.com/english/news-gold-silver-what-10-baggers-and-100-baggers-look-like.aspx?article=5288603220H11690&redirect=false&contributor=Jeff+Clark&anchor=com

Thanks mithril, that is helpful. It is a shame so much historical data, share price charts etc. seem to disappear once a company is taken over.

Ahhh sorry but devil's advocate here a bit. These great return would have more meaning if we could see the companies PR during these time. Like a jr company could trade at 10 cents then puts out a drilling result PR saying found massive amount of gold... sure stock explodes. When LME put out there 3/4 years ago it di go form 1 cent to 20 then to 40. This is a 3000%  area increase

...and what was the overall float before the BO for these companies?
