Description:
In an era of overheated stocks, an extraordinary gold strike in the jungles of Indonesia unleashes a historic buying frenzy in the international mining community. Canada's tiny BRE-X mining company moves into the ranks of the big boys in the world mining markets. But it turns out that it's all a hoax, and just as fortunes are made early off BRE-X, they are also lost - and lost forever. It is a mining scam of unrivaled proportions, fueled by the excesses of the red-hot stock markets of the 1990s.
