Question
My parents have stock certificates from Guichon Mines, Ltd. It was supposedly for gold, copper etc. They may have been bought by Trojan. Do these certificates have any value. They were bought in the 1940's.

Answer
Unfortunately, from the information I have available, the shares have no current value. The Company had its charter cancelled in 1976, which is what happens when a company fails to file its required regulatory documents (and pay its taxes and fees) for an extended period of time, usually because they are already out of business.
