Movie posters for the film say its “based on a too good to be true story.” While some may believe it’s based on the Bre-X Minerals scandal of the 1990s, the film’s writer and producer John Zinman told the Financial Post that it was “inspired” by the events surrounding the company. MarketWatch hasn’t seen the movie.
The true story behind Calgary-based Bre-X Minerals Ltd. marked a watershed in the mining industry and helped inspire Canadian stock market regulations designed to prevent a recurrence of the incident.
Jeb Handwerger, editor of goldstocktrades.com, which focuses on mining exploration companies, said he hopes the movie “increases the awareness of the junior gold mining sector and the ability to generate massive amounts of wealth.” Junior gold miners are exploration companies in search of new gold deposits.
But he warned that investing in the mining sector “is not for the faint of heart.”
