I Found this story on the internet. Similarity is board has been in power for close to 6 months and no major movement. After 6 months it is forgotten...."

Joesph Hamilton at Aurelian has stock options at 75 cents. I guess he made out ok.

"3 years ago myslef and my girlfriend were living overseas in Peru. He
had a trip planned to go to Equador with her family. At the end of the
trip we met this couple on a bus that was taking us to the airport.
These 2 people were the parents of one of these geologists working
with AUR. They were quite positive in about 6 months they would have
enough gold really start making money. They had 1/2 a Million ounces
of gold found and needed 1 and 1/2 to get backing for the major
digging. So in the summer we are back in Canada watching this stock
sit at about 50 - 60 cents a share. We watched it for maybe 6 months
no major movement and forgot about it, for about another 6 months.
Well what do you know, one day im surfing the net, thought about
checking into this stock again and yep its up to 1.50 or something and
couldnt believe it was up. So we watched it for awhile thinking it was
gonna come back down. IT NEVER DID. It kept going up and up and it was
too late to get in. The last time i looked at it, it was around 40
dollars a share. Sure did miss the boat on that one. "
