As a very very longtime holder of Beacon's I'm trying to understand how a gold producing company like Beacons with a market cap of $114 mill, producing and selling gold is trading at 4 cents where as an exploration company namely St George Mining (SGQ) is drilling for Nickel/Copper with a market cap of $40 mill is trading at 10 cents on the back of 4 great strike announcements without producing anything other than drill results/speculation and have been back to raise monies on at least 4 occasions in the past 2-3 years
I'm not the most educated person when it comes to shares but would like to somehow understand how this works ?
thanks in advance for your comments, cheers Rev

Ive tried to edit and update my heading but it won't allow me too

Can someone help to explain how ??
