Think this would work with gold mining?

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Bubba,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love
Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I Buried the BODIES.

Love
Bubba

At 4 A.M. the next morning, F.B.I. agents and local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love
Bubba

I was around then too - not sure you're correct however and would like to see evidence. What you are saying is that the stocks trailed the POG. Maybe Bob has a chart. Certainly the stocks really ran. What could make it likely is that investors need to know the rise in the POG has legs before they buy the stock. At this time it seems there is a hesitancy to buy the stocks in case the rally in gold falters.

At the moment I only own a junior as there is leverage in discovery.
