Silk Road Energy Inc. announced that it is expanding its footprint in the Kirkland Lake mining camp through an option agreement to acquire a property known as the Grenfell-Four Nations gold property. The agreement enables Silk Road to earn a 100% interest in five claim blocks comprising 5.2 square kilometres in the Grenfell Township located approximately 8.5 kilometres due west from the Macassa Mine near Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The claims, known as the Four Nations-Grenfell property, host multiple gold occurrences according to historical work files submitted to the Ontario Government.

There has also been drilling conducted on the property that intersected gold mineralization. This transaction is considered arms-length in which Silk Road Energy will pay a private exploration company $50,000 in cash over three years and issue a total of two million shares.
