VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - October 25, 2007) - Grenville Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: GVG) (PINKSHEETS: GVLGF) (FRANKFURT: F9I) (WKN: A0KELU) ("Grenville" or "the Company") is currently collecting information related to a public release by High Ridge (TSX VENTURE: HRR) dated October 15, 2007 which indicated that Grenville and two of its Officers and Directors, Paul Gill and Len De Melt, and other employees were facing 'criminal proceedings' in Peru. Grenville has requested and received photocopies on files from government offices in Peru related to the matter and will be reviewing them this week.
Grenville's initial review indicates that a 'Citacion Policial' was initiated by High Ridge and the document indicates an investigation is underway regarding a dispute and requests our appearance. As Grenville had not received the 'Citacion Policial' until this week, it was impossible for the Company to comply with the request.
One of the confusing aspects of this situation which may not be apparent to the all parties and the investing public, is that there are two gates in this area, one controlled by the Community of Viso and another, closer to Lake Pacococha, which is controlled as of July 17, 2007 by Grenville's subsidiary. It is unclear which gate High Ridge is referring to in their complaint to the Peruvian authorities. Grenville will request High Ridge to contact the Community of Viso for clarification on this issue.
Grenville management assures investors that it will not shirk its duty to investors to protect their interests. Management will continue to investigate and report accordingly.
