Posted on: Wednesday, 17 October 2007, 09:00 CDT

Grenville Gold Corporation (TSX-V: GVG) (PINKSHEETS: GVLGF) (FRANKFURT: F9I) (WKN: A0KELU) ("Grenville" or "the Company") announces the Company is accepting development proposals for the Espanola Property. An initial NI 43-101 compliant report has been completed and available on the Grenville Gold Corp. website at: http://www.grenvillegoldcorp.com/Properties/Espanola/tabid/68/Default.aspx

A total of 45 grab samples of rock were collected from various underground workings with assays ranging from 70 parts per million to 11.37 per cent copper and 0.007 to 0.794 grams of gold/tonne. Mineralization on surface is hosted by steeply dipping malachite-stained quartz veins averaging between 0.5 to 3 meters wide. In the underground workings sulphide mineralogy consists of bornite and chalcopyrite. Results are consistent with the former producing Raul/Condestable Mines, located 15 kilometers west of Espanola. These mines are reported to have produced over 20 million tons of ore grading 1.5% copper and 0.5 grams of gold per tonne. The average of the samples was 0.19 ppm Gold and 2.51% Copper. The table below lists results.
