The following historical analysis and points of interest are paraphrased from a geological report on the property by John Londry P. Eng. ("Report on the John Sirola Property, Grenfell Township, 1985"). Please note that assay values are not NI 43-101 compliant:
The majority of work on Grenfell took place in the 1930's to early 1940's when bulk sampling of some high-grade gold veins occurred in conjunction with diamond drilling, shaft sinking and substantial lateral development on two underground levels. With renewed interest in the property a series of surface exploration programs were conducted from the early 1980's to about 2013.
More recent exploration work and re-evaluation of historical work has resulted in new zones of gold mineralization and recommendations for further exploration on known historical zones from the 1930-1940 era.
The property hosts five distinct gold-bearing zones. These zones in order of importance are the No.1 Vein, Sirola Vein, No. 6 Vein, Shea Vein and Shaft Vein.
Significant work was conducted on the No.1 Vein and Sirola Vein. The Sirola Vein is interpreted to be a possible splay vein from the No.1 Vein. Two separate bulk samples from the Sirola Vein (surface pit) and No.1 Vein (60-foot level or 18.3 metres) returned 21.36 tonnes at 0.456 oz/ton gold (15.6 grams/tonne gold) and 174 tonnes at 0.70 oz/ton (24 grams/tonne gold) respectively.
The No.1 Vein was channel sampled along the drift on the 250-foot (76.3 metres) level which assayed 0.2 oz/ton (6.9 grams/tonne gold) across a 3-foot (.92 metres) width for 180 feet (54.9 metres) of strike. The Londry report also stated that this drift should have continued in an easterly direction on the 250-foot (76.3 metres) level as values and vein structure suggested the vein continued.
Londry's report states a third gold bearing zone, the No.6 Vein has a northwesterly trending strike orientation or a transverse strike relative to the No.1 Vein (southwest strike). The No.6 vein was drill tested with only three drill holes, these holes which returned 0.13 oz/ton gold (4.5 grams/tonne gold) over 10 feet (3.05 metres), 2.22 oz/ton gold (76.1 grams/tonne gold) over 3 feet (.92 metres). and 0.25 oz/ton gold (8.6 grams/tonne gold) over 5 feet (1.5 metres).
The Shea Vein also reported to be northwesterly striking structure is located approximately 700 feet (213.5 metres) southwest of the shaft collar. The 250-level (76.3 metres) drift was extended westward for 700 feet (213.5 metres) to evaluate the Shea Vein mineralization. Very limited data exists on this work but Londry's report states a single historical drill hole on the Shea Vein returned 0.41 oz/ton gold (19.5 grams/tonne gold) over 3 feet (.92 metres).
The Shaft Vein was intersected during the course of shaft sinking; the vein entered the shaft at the 90-foot (27.5 metres) level and exited the shaft at the 150-level (45.8 metres). When diluted to a width of one foot (.305 metres), the Shaft Vein returned 0.24 oz/ton (8.2 grams/tonne gold) over the 60-foot (18.3 metres) interval it remained in the shaft.
Completion of the transaction is subject to a number conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange approval, disinterested shareholder approval. There can no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

A strong bearish trend defined the markets in the first half of the year; since then, the key point has been volatility. Stocks hit a bottom back in June, when the S&P 500 dropped into the 3,600s. That has proven to be a support level in the last two months, and at least one strategist believes that the market won’t be testing those lows again this year. JPMorgan's Jason Hunter believes that inflation may have peaked, and that the upcoming CPI report will provide additional evidence of that. “We
