Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE: AGI) may not be as popular as its big-cousin Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX), but the little gold stock earned investors nearly as much as Barrick last year by doubling in value. In fact, Alamos also hugely outperformed its similarly sized rival Eldorado Gold Corp (NYSE: EGO), which ended 2016 with just about 9% gains.
