Consolidated Spire Ventures currently has several active projects in Canada and Mexico.

The 100% Consolidated Spire owned Prospect Valley Gold Property is a low sulphidation gold epithermal system, with quartz vein stockwork type mineralization, located near Merritt, BC, Canada. A diamond drill program is currently under way along the main mineralized zone. Previous drilling at Prospect Valley intersected mainly the western edge of this mineralized system. Recent trenching and drill results have confirmed wide anomalous gold zones typically found near surface and along a northeast trend for over 3 kilometers. The Company feels that the current exploration program, and the planned drilling on the Prospect Valley Gold Property are extremely important toward outlining this large mineralized trend with excellent potential to become an open pit - low cost target.

The recently acquired Yago Gold/Silver Property is located in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, on the Pacific coast, approximately 50kms north of the city of Tepic. Currently, this property is the subject of an option agreement with Almaden Minerals Ltd. (TSX:AMM), whereby Consolidated Spire can earn a 60% interest. The property comprises 16 claims that total 2,731 hectares and lies within the coastal lowlands of the West Coast of Mexico.

Other Mexico projects

Consolidated Spire has recently staked four new properties of over 76,800 hectares of prime exploration ground on a recently recognized epithermal gold/silver district. The staked ground comprises four properties that are located in the north and northwest of the El Oro-Tlalpujahua Gold/Silver Belt in the states of Guanajuato and Michoacan, Mexico. Consolidated Spire intends to initially explore these properties and farm out the properties to joint venture partners to offset further exploration costs.

In the State of Oaxaca Mexico, 25kms east of the city of Oaxaca, the Campanario Gold/Silver Property, subject of an option agreement with Almaden Minerals Ltd. (TSX:AMM) ("Almaden"), is currently on hold.
