Question
I hold shares in Rhyolite Rouyn Mines Limited.  Can you tell me if there is any value to these shares?  I understand the mines are still very active.  

Answer
Scott, from the information I have available, the company left mining behind years ago. After a series of name changes and at least one reverse stock split (a 1 for 10) the Company is now Sino-Forest Corp., which trades for about $20.00 per share.

You need to contact the current transfer agent, Valiant Trust (www.valianttrust.com) who will be able to determine if your old shares are valid and, if so, can reorganize them into the new shares.
