The transaction was approved by shareholders and has been registered with the Superintendencia Nacional de los registros Publicos (SUNARP). "The Silveria Project's attraction is that it has no Net Smelter Royalty payments", stated A. Paul Gill, President & CEO, "Also, the continued consolidation of ownership of the surrounding property bodes well for the attractiveness of the Silveria Project in the future." Grenville has advanced $ 2,731,944 US to the Silveria Project through loans from Grenville to Minera Grenville S.A.C. Grenville's 100% owned Canadian subsidiary Grenville Silveria Ltd. has been issued 8,180,340 shares of Minera Grenville S.A.C, or the equivalent of $ 0.33 US per share to extinguish the debt.

Grenville continues to make progress on its listing with the Peruvian Stock Exchange Bolsa de Valores (BVL). Recent developments such as the China-Peru Free Trade Agreement, announced during the recent 20th annual APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) forum held in Lima, Peru, have reinvigorated interest in the mineral assets of the region.
