High Grade Gold Performers: CAN vs VGQan interesting chart comparing CAN to a high grade gold discovery from the past, the 2004 Eleonore discovery of Virginia Mines (VGQ) in northern Quebec
Early stages of the price appreciation in VGQ quite similar to current CAN chart. The Eleonore deposit in northern Quebec eventually was taken over by Goldcorp in a shares + royalty deal.

Recent resource estimate is around 9 million oz for Eleonore. The drop in VGQ price corresponds to March 2006 finalization of the deal that took out the deposit and led to a spin-out for VGQ + NSR in which the company retained all of the remaining assests in its large exploration portfolio.
