on rare occasions
Every now and then a meaningful discovery is made, and a junior explorer adds several dollars or $10-$25+ dollars per share of share price appreciation .. dramatic share price change comes almost instantly from a humble start of trading at pennies per share ... billions of dollars of base or precious metals, diamonds or other accumulations of nature are discovered in a new deposit / concentration .... everyone holding stock gets rich or has bragging rights for supporting the best capital market mechanism for financing such discoveries ... the promoter becomes a rock star ... and people understand - with great clairty - why they are in the game, and how nonsensical the wimping and crying on stockboards really is .... valuation then becomes a function of extractive engineering ... and all the chatboards chirp with excitement until a real ming company, with earnings and a meaningful balance sheet, comes along to buyout the shareholders who are the lucky owners of the discovery of natures bounty ... and to turn it into an economic windfall for the community and economy, as a producing mine .... Canada is the worlds best capital market for such financings ... this game is not for the lighthearted ..
