West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd., a little-known Canadian miner, surged as much as 1,000 percent after it said it sold a magnesium deposit to a U.S. buyer for $750 million -- or 46 times the company’s market value.
West High Yield, which has no revenue, jumped five-fold in Toronto trading to close at C$2 after it released a statement saying it sold its main assets to Swanton, Maryland-based Gryphon Enterprises LLC. The shares, which trade under the ticker WHY, had closed Wednesday at 36 cents for a market value of just C$20.6 million ($16.4 million).
