Question
I have stock in Commonwealth Richmond Properties Inc., Rockmere Lake Exploration LTD.,and Huron Star Resources LTD., thru Gordon-Daly Grenadier Securities. Also Monk Gold Mines LTD.  Could you tell me if these are worth anything now.  Thank you.

Answer
From the information I have available:

Commonwealth Richmond did a 1 for 16 reverse split and became Empire Alliance Properties. Empire was cease-traded in 2002, and that government order remains in effect. They have not filed any of their required regulatory filings since 2001, so I doubt they will return to trading.

Rockmere did 3 reverse splits and became United Pacific Capital. That company was also cease-traded, and has not filed anything since 2001, either.

Huron Star went through several name changes and at least 1 reverse split (a 1 for 4, but there may have been at least 1 other) and became Augustine Ventures. Augustine is still around, but is not trading anywhere. They are a barely alive shell company at the moment. The latest contact information I have for them is:

56 Temperance Street
10th Floor
Toronto, Ontario
M5H 3V5

I have no information on Monk Gold Mines Ltd.
