Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd. (“the Company” or “Spire”) is pleased to report that the Field Program has begun on the North West Dome at the PV Gold Property. The Northwest Dome Zone is characterized by a large circular shaped low magnetic anomaly, with an approximate diameter of 800m. This magnetic low appears to be related to strong hydrothermal alteration similar to that observed in the Discovery Zones. Initial geological mapping during 2007 found this area to consist of a much denser quartz veinlet stockwork zone, with more iron oxides in veins and fractures, than that observed in the Discovery Zones. Its round magnetic shape may be indicative of a possible feeder zone. The Company is very encouraged with the 2009 exploration program underway in the NW Dome.

The access to the center portion of the Prospect Valley Property, via the new road, is being cleared of snow in preparation. The exploration program will include both the Northwest Dome Zone and the Discovery Zones. The planned first phase of exploration – concurrent with completing the trench sampling started in 2007 – would see a multi-drill-hole program for the NW Dome; other areas are the Ridgeline Target and the Crown Target. The exploration programs would include mechanical trenching, short-hole RC drilling and diamond drilling.

The Prospect Valley Gold Property hosts a low sulphidation epithermal gold system with quartz vein stockwork type mineralization, located near Merritt, BC, Canada. To date, over 13 target areas have been identified in the claim block. The majority of the targets are located in the centre of the claim block along a prominent north-northeast trending linear zone that includes the Bonanza Zone, the Discovery South Zone, the Discovery North Zone, the NW Dome and NE Extension Zone.

Rock samples will be prepped and analyzed by an ISO 9001 certified and accredited facility. All work is being conducted following the procedures and standards outlined under NI 43-101. All sample batches sent to the lab will include standards, blanks and duplicate samples. A quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program is in place. The Qualified Person for this news release is Mr. Victor Jaramillo, P.Geo. and Consulting Geologist for Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd.

The 107.9 sq km, 100%-owned Prospect Valley Property is located approximately 3 hours driving time from Vancouver and is within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt. It is a potential low grade, bulk mineable type gold target. The property is road-accessible and in close proximity to good infrastructure from Merritt, BC.

Dear Consolidated Spire,

In our continuing efforts to provide you with broader investor communications, we are pleased to present to you the latest installment of "Beyond the Press Release" with the President & CEO of Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd., Mr. Brian Buchanan

In this installment, Mr. Buchanan discusses the significance of the Company’s April 30, 2009 press release:

Positive Gold Recovery Results From Cyanide Leach Analysis at Prospect Valley

Click here to listen to the interview

Regards,
AGORACOM

Vancouver, B.C., April 30, 2009 - Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd. <TSX-V: CZS)(“the Company” or “Spire”) is pleased to report that trial cyanide leach assay results from 30 gold-mineralized samples from core reject material have been completed. The purpose of this work was to determine the recoverability of gold from sulphide and mixed sulphide-oxide mineralization using cyanide leach, as compared to gold results obtained from standard fire assay AA finish results. This analysis is not to be confused with standard heap leach metallurgical tests. Kinross Gold Corp participated in the sample collection process as per the March 12, 2009 Spire news release.

The results show that of the 30 mineralized samples, the majority of which contain variable amounts of pyrite, 17 samples returned gold recoveries above 72%. Of these, 9 samples gave gold recoveries above 90%, 5 samples between 80% to 90% recovery, and 3 samples returned 72% to 80% gold recovery. The remaining 13 samples gave gold recoveries below 72%. See attached recovery graph.

The samples were submitted to Florin Analytical Services, LLC of Reno, Nevada. This is a certified and accredited lab facility, which is part of the Kappes, Cassiday and Associates group of metallurgical services companies.

The positive gold recoveries from this analytical work are significant as it shows that most gold recoveries are within industry requirements for this type of mineralization. These trial test results make the PV Property more attractive as a potential large-tonnage, low-grade target. The next step will be to take a representative bulk sample to complete column cyanide metallurgical tests.

The Company is encouraged by these trial cyanide leach analytical results and from previous years of diamond drilling and trenching results, geological mapping, and prospecting carried out on the Prospect Valley Property. With the completion of the access road to the Discovery Zones in late 2008, the Company anticipates an exploration program beginning in May 2009. The first phase of the planned exploration program will focus on the NW Dome Zone, concurrent with completion of trench sampling started in 2008. The NW Dome will then see a multi-drill-hole program. The second phase of planned exploration is a 22-hole program of approximately 3,700m of infill diamond drilling in the Discovery Zones in order to define NI43-101 compliant mineral resources. This planned exploration is subject to financing and market conditions.

The Prospect Valley Gold Property hosts a low-sulphidation, epithermal gold system with quartz stockwork-type mineralization located near Merritt, BC, Canada. To date, over 13 target areas have been identified in the claim block. The majority of the targets are located in the centre of the claim block along a prominent north-northeast striking fault zone that includes the Bonanza Zone, the Discovery South Zone and the Discovery North Zone.

A quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program is in place. The Qualified Person for this news release is Mr. Victor Jaramillo, P.Geo. and Geological Consultant for Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd.

The 107.9 sq km, 100%-owned Prospect Valley Property is located approximately 3 hours driving time from Vancouver and is within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt. It is a low-grade, bulk mineable type gold target. The property is road-accessible and in close proximity to good infrastructure from Merritt, BC.

Vancouver, B.C., March 12, 2009 - Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd. (“the Company” or “Spire” CZS-TSX.V) is pleased to report that exploration crews have been mobilized to immediately begin geological fieldwork at the Prospect Valley Gold Property. October 2008 saw completion of road construction to the North and South Discovery Zones. This newly completed 5.5km road will be used to gain quick access, at significantly lower costs, to this year’s exploration targets for geological work including geological mapping, trenching and diamond drilling on the Discovery Zones.

The Company is encouraged by the previous years of diamond drilling results, trenching results, geological mapping and prospecting carried out on the Prospect Valley Property. With the completion of the access road to the Discovery Zones in late 2008, the Company anticipates an exploration program beginning in the early spring of 2009 depending on weather, financings and market conditions. The exploration program would cover the Discovery Zones, extensions of the North Discovery Zone – Northwest Dome Zone, Northeast Extension, and Northeast Trend Target Zone. Other areas are the Ridgeline Target and the Crown Target. The exploration program would include diamond drilling on these areas with specific priority given to a definition drilling program to outline a possible NI 43-101 compliant inferred gold/silver resource on the Discovery Zones. The other targets have good possibilities of increasing the overall gold/silver mineralization potential on the Prospect Valley Property.

The Company anticipates the following:

• Metallurgy and sample heap leach tests;
• Two phase diamond drill program;
• First phase - 4-hole diamond drilling – approx 1,200m – to target open areas in Discovery North and South Zones;
• Second phase - 30-hole diamond drilling – approx 10,000m – to target the Discovery North and South Zones at depth, the NE Extension, NE Trend and NW Dome;
• Detailed geological mapping, trenching & sampling on most prospective targets;
• Outlining a possible resource definition drill program.

One of the main objectives of the 2009 field program will be to complete infill diamond drilling in the Discovery Zones in order to define resources as per CIM definitions. Shortly after, the Company expects to prepare a NI 43-101 compliant report that will provide a resource estimate.

Presently the Merritt Exploration crews will obtain representative mineralized samples from drill core and reject material to conduct heap leach metallurgical tests to determine the recoverability of gold. Kinross Gold Corp will be participating in the sample collection process.

The Prospect Valley Gold Property hosts a low sulphidation epithermal gold system with quartz vein stockwork type mineralization, located near Merritt, BC, Canada. To date, over 13 target areas have been identified in the claim block. The majority of the targets are located in the centre of the claim block along a prominent north-northeast trending linear zone that includes the Bonanza Zone, the Discovery South Zone and the Discovery North Zone.

A major development in 2007 was the identification of a structure called the Early Fault Zone (EFZ) that appears to be the main conduit control for the gold mineralization at the Discovery South and North Zones. This structure is 1m to 12m thick (true thickness), dips moderately to the southwest at 30º to 45º, and may be traced consistently in drill holes from the Discovery South to the Discovery North Zones for over 1.7km in strike length.

To date, most of the diamond drill programs have returned consistent, strongly anomalous to locally economic widths and grades of gold +/- silver mineralization. Hole DDH 2006-21 contained 50.6m grading 1.36g/t gold and hole DDH 2007-02 contained 66.82m averaging 0.90g/t gold and 5.86g/t silver. These results are of considerable significance and demonstrate an excellent geological potential for a low-grade, bulk mineable target at the Discovery Zones.

Rock samples will be prepped and analyzed by an ISO 9001 certified and accredited facility. All work is being conducted following the procedures and standards outlined under NI 43-101. All sample batches sent to the lab will include standards, blanks and duplicate samples.

A quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program is in place. The Qualified Person for this news release is Mr. Victor Jaramillo, P.Geo. and Consulting Geologist for Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd.

The 107.9 sq km, 100%-owned Prospect Valley Property is located approximately 3 hours driving time from Vancouver and is within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt.

Hedge Fund Investors Turn To Gold In Bet Against Central Banks

By Henny Sender in New York and Javier Blas in London

Published: March 9 2009 02:00 | Last updated: March 9 2009 02:00

Hedge fund investors who made money last year by betting against investment banks are buying gold as a way of betting against central banks.

The gold bulls include David Einhorn, founder of hedge fund Greenlight Capital, who last year came under the spotlight for his short selling of shares in Lehman after arguing that the bank did not have enough capital to offset its exposure to falling property prices.

Other funds looking at gold include Eton Park and TPG-Axon, investors said.

Their belief in bullion is being expressed even as gold prices have retreated from last month's break above the $1,000 an ounce level. Spot gold in London closed on Friday at $939.10, after falling last week to $900.95 an ounce.

Investors such as Mr Einhorn are turning to gold because they are worried about the response of the US Federal Reserve and other central banks to the economic crisis. A bet on gold is a bet against paper currencies.

"The size of the Fed's balance sheet is exploding and the currency is being debased. Our guess is that if the chairman of the Fed is determined to debase the currency, he will succeed," Mr Einhorn wrote to investors.

"Our instinct is that gold will do well either way: deflation will lead to further steps to debase the currency, while inflation speaks for itself."

Mr Einhorn's comments - and the revelation that he is buying gold - are in line with the views held by other institutional investors in Europe, according to bankers in London.

The head of commodity sales at one bullion bank told the Financial Times that he had never been so busy dealing in gold for large investors.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and UBSforecast that the gold price would rise above $1,000 this year.

Peter Munk, chairman of Barrick Gold, the largest bullion miner, told investors last week that all countries had embarked on policies that would favour gold.

"The only option to governments is to print and print more money," he said. "That will end in tears."

Hedge funds had avoided gold because it does not produce yield and costs money to store and insure. But that has become less important as central banks have pushed interest rates to nearly zero, reducing the yields on currencies.

There are about 5 billion ounces of above ground gold supply worth about USD 5 trillion at current prices. Less than 5% trades annually. The above ground gold supply is growing at about 1.5% annually, the 300 year average.

New gold supply is price inelastic. If you double the gold price, production will fall as miners extend precious mine life by processing lower grades through fixed rate capacity. Building new capacity is the work of decades. Re-opening old mines is difficult and expensive and there are few worthwhile opportunities which have not been exploited. Meanwhile, discovery rates are declining, discovery costs are rising, mines are depleting and production is falling at about 5% per year. The world's best gold deposits have been found and mined.

Gold's highest and best use is in a vault as a store of value. It is not a commodity. Jewelry 'consumption' of gold is a traditional store of value. The industrial/medical uses of gold are diminimus. If gold had important other uses, there would be less of it and the price would be lower because it would be valued as a commodity subject to substitution effects. No other substance has the unique properties and a supply sufficient to act as an ultimate store of value which is why gold has had this role for at least 6000 years.

Gold is therefore a financial asset in physical form and sometimes a currency. It goes up in price when confidence in other financial assets [stocks, bonds] is falling and falls when confidence in these alternatives is rising.

Other financial assets have the advantages of convenience and income. Gold's advantage is that it is final settlement anywhere in the world. Gold backs itself whereas other currencies and financial assets merely represent, and depend upon, the countries and companies which issue them and stand behind them. Gold is a currency without a country or central bank...there is no issuer to inflate supply or default on its obligations.

There are approximately USD 140 trillion in other financial assets world-wide so the current value of above ground gold is about 4% of this total. In 1980, when inflation weakened confidence in stocks and bonds, the ratio was greater than 25%. It currently requires about 8 ounces of gold to buy the Dow, down from 44 in 1999. In 1980, the ratio reached 1 to 1.

Gold has no P/E or other standard valuation metric. Its price can go where the market decides. How much will the owners of USD 140 trillion in financial assets pay to protect themselves from deflation, inflation or default?

Sprott Says U.S. Depression Will Boost Gold Price

Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Eric Sprott, the Canadian money manager who last year predicted banking stocks would collapse, said the U.S. is at the beginning of an economic depression that will help gold prices more than double.

Bullion may top $2,000 an ounce in coming years amid a series of financial catastrophes, the chairman and founder of Toronto-based Sprott Asset Management Inc. said yesterday in an interview. Banks will battle to replenish capital, Treasury auctions stand the risk of failing and the moribund economy will create a dire operating outlook for many companies, he said.

“The trend is down, and there’s not one signpost that says it’s changing yet,” Sprott said yesterday from Toronto. “We’ll stand by to wait to see those, and until it does, you have to assume it gets worse.”

Sprott, who manages $4.5 billion, said in March that the world was in a “systemic financial meltdown,” a call that presaged the collapse of financial institutions including Bear Stearns & Co. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Since then, the U.S. has entered the worst economic slowdown since the Great Depression, credit markets have tightened and asset prices have dropped as companies and funds sell portfolios to raise cash.

The 81-company Standard & Poor’s 500 Financials Index has dropped 62 percent since Sprott said on March 6 he was buying bullion and gold-producers’ shares, while shorting financial- sector stocks. Gold slipped 6.3 percent during the same period.

So-called short-selling allows speculators to profit from a stock’s decline by borrowing shares, selling them to raise cash and buying them later when the price drops to repay the debt.

Sprott Funds

Sprott Hedge Fund LP posted a one-year return of 9.9 percent, while Sprott Hedge Fund LP II rose 18 percent in the period, according to data posted on the company’s Web site. The Sprott Canadian Equity Fund dropped 37 percent.

Sprott now favors buying more gold stocks and bullion while selling the entire equity market short. Most at risk in the current climate are banks, discretionary consumer stocks and any companies needing to refinance debt, he said.

Sprott believes there is a chance that a U.S. Treasury auction will fail as countries use their resources to quell financial turmoil in their home markets, leaving less to help finance the world’s largest economy. That outcome will have a “catastrophic” impact, he said.

“When do people stop buying the credit of the country? That’s a tough question to answer, but it’s on a lot of people’s lips right now,” he said. “Each country has their own financial problem, so there’s no funding for anything external.”

Gold Investors

Such concerns have driven investors to the gold market, propelling the metal higher as other commodities have slumped and helping gold-producers’stocks almost double in the past three months.

Greenlight Capital Inc., a $5.1 billion New York-based hedge fund, has invested in gold for the first time, while Federated Investors Inc.’s $1.3 billion Federated Market Opportunity Fund, which outperformed 99 percent of rivals last year, now countsYamana Gold Inc. and Goldcorp Inc. among its largest investments.

Gold companies such as Newmont Mining Corp. and Kinross Gold Corp. have taken the opportunity to issue stock to bolster their own balance sheets.

Barrick Gold Corp. Chairman Peter Munk said last week he has been inundated with calls from wealthy investors seeking to buy gold to protect their capital.

“The window to raise money for gold stocks has blown open,” Sprott said. “The investing public has started to go to that one thing that they think it’s safe to invest in.”

Vancouver, B.C., January 22, 2009 - Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd. (TSX-V: CZS) (the “Company” or “Spire”) Vancouver, BC, Canada - is pleased to provide an update on the Company. Despite the challenges of the current market conditions Spire is looking forward to a year of further exploration on its Prospect Valley, Merritt, BC, Canada property and its Yago, Nayarit, Mexico property.

The exploration program would include diamond drilling on these areas with specific priority given to a definition drilling program to outline a possible NI 43-101 compliant inferred gold/silver resource on the Discovery Zones. The other targets have good possibilities of increasing the overall gold/silver mineralization potential on the Prospect Valley Property.

The Company believes the Prospect Valley project is close to a stage where a significant joint venture would be possible. The purpose of any joint venture would be to advance the exploration programs to assist in outlining gold/silver resources and prepare a 43-101 compliant resource report.

The 107.9 sq km, 100%-owned Prospect Valley Property is located approximately 3 hours driving time form Vancouver and is within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt. It is a potential bulk mineable-low grade type gold quartz stockwork target, with quartz vein stockwork type mineralization. The property is road-accessible and in close proximity to good infrastructure from Merritt, BC.

About Consolidated Spire Ventures

The 100% Spire owned Prospect Valley Gold Property is a low sulphidation gold epithermal system, with quartz vein stockwork type mineralization, located near Merritt, BC, Canada. Road construction to the North and South Discovery Zones is now complete. The construction of the 5.5km (approx.) long road will provide quick access, at significantly lower costs, to the Discovery Zones for geological work including diamond drilling, trenching and mapping. To date, most of the 2006 and 2007 diamond drill programs have returned consistent, strongly anomalous to locally economic widths and grades of gold +/- silver mineralization. Hole DDH 2006-21 contained 50.6m grading 1.36g/t gold and hole DDH 2007-02 contained 66.82m averaging 0.90g/t gold and 5.86g/t silver. These results are of considerable significance, and demonstrate an excellent geological potential for a low-grade bulk mineable target at the Discovery Zones.

The Yago Gold/Silver Property is located in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, on the Pacific coast, approximately 50kms north of the city of Tepic. A program is planned to continue diamond drilling on the Esperanza, Magnolia and Sagitario veins. Currently, this property is the subject of an option agreement with Almaden Minerals Ltd. (AMM-TSX), whereby 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.

Spire also has four properties in the states of Guanajuato and Michoacan, Mexico consisting of over 76,800 hectares of prime exploration ground on a recently recognized epithermal gold/silver district: Los Agustinos (31,690 ha), Buenavista (9,200 ha), Las Joyas (32,067 ha), and Santo Niño (3,930 ha). It is the intentions of Spire to explore and farm out the properties to joint venture partners.

On September 15, we announced the commencement of 30-second television ads on Bloomberg and CNBC in the United States, as well as, BNN in Canada. Unlike search engine marketing, it can be used to be hard to measure the effectiveness of offline branding campaigns because potential new visitors don’t call you. If we were specifically marketing our IR services, you could measure the number of prospect calls or web inquiries.

Fortunately, we now have Google Trends. Google Trends analyzes how many searches have been done for a specific term, relative to the total number of searches for that specific term over time. In this case, I wanted to see the search trend for “AGORACOM” in the United States.

In order to make comparisons easy and put them in relative terms, Google assigns the searches over time a baseline score of 1.00. As such, anything above 1.00 since September 15 is a good sign and anything below 1.00 is a bad sign. How good or bad would depend on how far off 1.00 the trend is.

So what is the trend for AGORACOM so far? A Google Trends chart is worth 1,000 words:

The spike is so big that the baseline of 1.00 looks like we had no searches at all in 2008 when, in fact, the spike meant the chart had to be set to increments of 10. To put this into perspective, Imagine what the chart of a small-cap stock would look like if it was trading pretty healthy in and around $1.00 for most of the year and then suddenly spiked to almost $20.

I do concede this is still early and we will have to check this again in 30 days - but we are off to a great start.

AMERICANS SEARCHING FOR “GOLD STOCKS”

If you want to take a look at your own trends, go here. You can view a search trend for the entire world or for a specific country. The caveat is that Google Trends doesn’t give you reports on thinly traded search terms. As such, if your corporate name doesn’t register, try things like your industry. For example, I queried “Gold Stocks” and the following tells me that Americans are becoming VERY interested in them!

If you are a small-cap CEO and don’t recognize the power of Web 2.0 by now, I give up

Dear Shareholders,

In an effort to keep you up to date on all pertinent information regarding the resource sector and more specifically the supply demand fundamentals of gold bullion, please see the latest AGORACOM Blog entry titled, "Bloomberg - Gold May Hit $950 As Central Banks and Miners Hold Back Sales."

Gold is up $64 to $844 as of 12:15 PM EST. I could end this post here and that one sentence could be the entire story.

However, like a good infomercial, “there is more!”. Specifically, Bloomberg is running a story that gold may hit $950 by the end of the year “as central banks and miners hold back sales and investors buy the metal as a haven against falling stock prices.”

The good news for gold bugs is that a $950 price isn’t tethered to simply a shaky stock market. Otherwise, a market turnaround on its own could quell the gold rush.

Rather, London-based researcher GFMS Ltd. states that Central Bank sales will drop 46 percent in 2008, while mine supply will decline for a third year. Specifically, with respect to mine supply, global mine production will drop 2.3 percent this year to 2,422 tons, the lowest since 1996 That is going to put great pressure on an already string tight supply issue.

Moreover, GFMS believes demand from investors worldwide will soar 38 percent to 778 metric tons, with purchases in east Asia more than doubling.

GRANDICH HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AGAIN

If I didn know any better, I would think that Peter Grandich single-handedly sets the price of gold. For about the zillionth time over the last 3 years, Grandich once again pegged an overextended gold price (oversold or overbought) when he made this statement just 5days ago in his newsletter:

“I have just recorded the single most oversold condition for Gold since the great
bull market began at the start of this decade”

After a brief hiatus, it looks like gold is back and possibly stronger than ever.

Regards,
AGORACOM
