A small Canadian silver miner is finding itself on the bright side of Reddit-induced market chaos just as it seeks to sell stock.

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. rose as much as 129% as trading volumes soared Monday in New York after the 53-year-old company was caught up in the whirlwind of the so-called Reddit Revolution. The surge came after the dual-listed miner, which has a silver operation in Mexico, disclosed Bloomberg Terminallast week plans to sell up to $25 million of newly issued shares into the U.S. market.
