Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Bre-X was a group of companies in Canada. A major part of the group, Bre-X Minerals Ltd. based on Calgary, was involved in a major gold mining scandal when it was reported to be sitting on an enormous gold deposit at Busang, Indonesia. Bre-X bought the Busang site in March 1993 and in October 1995 announced significant amounts of gold had been discovered, sending its stock price soaring. Originally a penny stock, its stock price reached a peak at CAD $286.50 on the Toronto Stock Exchange, with a total capitalization of over CAD $6 billion. Bre-X Minerals collapsed in 1997 after the gold samples were found to be a fraud.
