Last Friday, Gold Investing News published an article on Continental Gold , whose share price had sunk 28 percent over the course of the week for no apparent reason. At the time, GIN concluded that as the company had not released any bad news and was not being hampered by any jurisdictional issues - such as those currently plaguing gold companies in Burkina Faso - the fall was likely a reaction to the gold's big price drop on October 30 and 31. However, since then it's become clear that another factor was in play last week - and it could have contributed to Continental's share price plunge.
