To wit, the Golden Valley Mines share price has climbed 89% in five years, easily topping the market return of 1.7% (ignoring dividends).

We don't think Golden Valley Mines's revenue of CA$426,427 is enough to establish significant demand. As a result, we think it's unlikely shareholders are paying much attention to current revenue, but rather speculating on growth in the years to come. For example, investors may be hoping that Golden Valley Mines finds some valuable resources, before it runs out of money.
Companies that lack both meaningful revenue and profits are usually considered high risk. There is almost always a chance they will need to raise more capital, and their progress - and share price - will dictate how dilutive that is to current holders. While some such companies do very well over the long term, others become hyped up by promoters before eventually falling back down to earth, and going bankrupt (or being recapitalized). Of course, if you time it right, high risk investments like this can really pay off, as Golden Valley Mines investors might know.
Golden Valley Mines had liabilities exceeding cash by CA$2,015,264 when it last reported in March 2019, according to our data. That puts it in the highest risk category, according to our analysis. So we're surprised to see the stock up 14% per year, over 5 years, but we're happy for holders. Investors must really like its potential.

Of course, the truth is that it is hard to value companies without much revenue or profit. One thing you can do is check if company insiders are buying shares. It's often positive if so, assuming the buying is sustained and meaningful. Luckily we are in a position to provide you with this free chart of insider buying (and selling).
A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Golden Valley Mines shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 17% over one year. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 14%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. Investors who like to make money usually check up on insider purchases, such as the price paid, and total amount bought.
