Continued growth is sought through partnership and joint ventures with well established and proven mining companies to be a leader in low cost gold production. 

Great Rock Development Corp is a mineral exploration company with unique understanding of energy. Their mission is to develop high quality projects in politically safe locales with high potential for acquisition. 

 

 


Strategic growth plan: 

- Develop proven NI 43-101 compliant ore inventories from high quality properties with potential for providing topside ore of good quality, have access to cost-effective energy sources, and easy access to qualified labor; 

- Develop and/or secure tenure on novel cost-effective and environmentally friendly methodologies for the extraction and purification of precious metals; and, 

From Q1-2013 to Q4-2014 the company will pursue expansion in the form of acquisitions that are pertinent to its strategic vision for aggressive growth. Specific deliverables include and are not limited to: 

1. The creation of a business plan for the exploitation of gold from its 4,200 acres of gold claims in the Cobequid Fault Area of Nova Scotia, Canada. Reports of the occurrence of gold in the area have been made by the Nova Scotia Ministry of Natural Resources; 

2. The transfer of its past consulting experience and current projects in energy conservation to the mining sector for energy savings and the demonstration of cost-effective approaches for the mining sector.

“There’s been reports of gold around there and there are also reports of rare earths in the region, the notion for us is to evaluate whether there is potential for establishing mines"... Dr. Luc C Duchesne 


Report on the Investigations into a Newly Discovered Gold Occurrence at Warwick Mountain in the Cobequid Highlands, Nova Scotia 

The region is under increased scrutiny following the January release of a report by T.J. MacHattie of the Natural Resources Department that outlined a “newly discovered gold occurrence” near Warwick Mountain. 


Introduction 

During the summer of 2011 a field program investigating the mineral potential of the Cobequid Highlands was undertaken. As part of this study a small sample of disaggregated bedrock collected at station 11TM0104 (Fig. 1) was sieved and panned to determine if the sample contained visible gold. A visual inspection under the microscope revealed gold grains. Several <500 micron gold grains were recovered from this narrow zone of disaggregated portions of the silicified and sulphidized rock. No existing claims were in effect at this new gold occurrence and therefore, based on similar geology, all claims within tracts 11E/11B- (101-106) and 11E/11C-(7-10) were closed to staking pending further scientific investigation. This was done to ensure that all persons interested in the mineral rights in this area will have an equitable chance to stake claims. 


Occurrence 

Location 11TM0104 
NAD 83 UTM zone 20N (x = 470 595, y = 5 051 398) (see Fig. 1) 

The new gold occurrence is hosted by basaltic lava flows of the Early Carboniferous Diamond Brook Formation in the northeastern Cobequid Highlands. These strata dip steeply and trend northwest-southeast. The highly altered zone is approximately 40 cm wide, bedding parallel, and strikes 110° with a dip of 90°. The alteration is also associated with anomalous concentrations of arsenic (400-500 ppm) and antimony (30- 50 ppm). 


Assay Results 

All samples were processed by Activation Laboratories Ltd., located in Ancaster, Ontario. Samples were crushed, split and ~100 g of material pulverized in mild steel (preparation code RX2). Gold fire assays were conducted on 30 g of pulverized material (preparation code 1A2). 

Assay results for gold have been completed for four samples collected from the zone of silicified and sulphidized basalt at station 11TM0104 (Fig. 2). A dry ~750 g hand sample of the silicified and sulphidized rock showed a concentration of 17 ppb gold, and three dry ~625-700 g samples, consisting of centimetre- to millimetre-sized rock and mineral fragments showed concentrations of 10, 35 and 659 ppb gold, respectively.

ACTIVITIES IN 2012 

Quote:

The company has deployed three business branches for the purpose of securing maximum market inroads in the short possible time period in order to generate cash flow, increase share value and mitigate market risks: 

1. Acquisition of gold mineral rights 
The board of directors approved the acquisition of the gold mineral rights of Byers Brook and Shattter Lake Claims of Colchester County in Nova Scotia for a total of 4200 acres in exchange for 75,000,000 shares of Great Rock Development Corporation. Said transaction has yet to be closed with the emission of shares. 

2. Energy conservation through demand side conservation from commercial, municipal and residential buildings 
The company has secured a purchase order for energy retrofits (HVAC) for 162 housing units in a cooperative housing program in Mississauga, Ontario. The work was then assigned to a mechanical subcontractor and was completed in Q1 2012. 
The company has secured a purchase order for the installation of tank-less hot water systems in a new housing development in Ottawa. The work was assigned to a contractor. Invoicing has yet to be completed. Partial payment was received. 

The company has secured the rights to distribute Thermonomics products in Canada in a Dealers Agreement. Furthermore the company is negotiating a second agreement, through a joint venture, to deploy Thermonomics in Jamaica and the Caribbean islands. 
For all of these activities, the company plans to make use of the business relationships developed by 932678 Ontario Inc (Encompass) and Forest BioProducts Inc to increase its revenues through the sales of products that increase energy efficiency. 

The company has secured distribution rights from Scientific Conservation, a US company with proprietary software for energy conservation monitoring. 

3. Sales and marketing of services or products that meet conservation/green energy profile 
In July 2011, the company has secured an exclusive sales and marketing agency contract with Interlock Structural Panels Inc for the sales and marketing of 4,500,000 ft of structural steel panels to be used in housing, commercial and industrial developments. Starting in July 2011, the company received a monthly retainer from Interlock Structural Panels Inc. Contingency payment of $0.20 ft of panel will be claimed as a result of sales managed by the Company. During the reporting period there were no sales made from which contingency payments are expected in the short term. On January 23, 2012 Interlock Structural Panels Inc terminated this agreement for as the technology provider ran into cash flow issues. 

In September 2011, the Company secured a Dealers Agreement with Innovative Hydrogen Solutions Inc to sell hydrogen generators to add as energy saving devices in diesel trucks. In September 2012, the Company terminated this agreement. In February 2012, the Company investigated various HVAC line lubricants for the purpose of assessing the potential for securing distribution rights of various potential lubricants to the residential and commercial markets. Comparative analyses were made. 

In February 2012, the Company provided a Letter of Interest to the Receiver of Two Feather Forest Management, a company with access to interconnection rights for 10 mWe from biomass. After diligence work the Company elected not to proceed with the project. 
The Company has developed plans to purchases blocks of power at a discount and partitioning these at a discount to small industrial power users who are paying prime rates for their power. 

No significant progress was made in Q1 2012.The Company generated revenues by providing consulting services in the renewable energy 
sector to clients of Forest BioProducts Inc. 

4. Solar EPC 
We continued business development eforts in this field. In general the photovoltaic industry in Ontario has been slow moving mostly because of the lack of support of the Ontario Government 
in granting permits for the construction of FIT contracts. Therefore, while this business line offers great potential, management is concerned about the fact that business activities are 
subjected to government policies and their implementation. One 10kW project spearheaded by the Company saw its completion in March 2012. 

The Company has secured a purchase order from a municipality for a 10kW rooftop with potential for addition of a 25mW project. This project was completed in Q1 2012.
