Question
In cleaning out my 102 year old grandmothers house we found
2 separate stock certificates..on from the "Bateman Bay Mining
Company" issued in October of 1976 and one in "Patino Mining
Corp." issued in Sept. of 1964....are they worth anything?
Thanks you

Answer
Terry, from the information I have available:

Bateman Bay has no current value. The Company was suspended, cease-traded and delisted in the early 1990's. Those cease-trade orders remain in effect.

For the Patino, I suggest you consult with a broker. The Company may have been acquired by a Dutch firm in the early 1980's. I don't know if shareholders received any value, or if the Dutch firm is still around, so a more detailed search is required.
