I, Hugh Grenfal, hold in trust for Ancona Mining Corporation a
100% undivided interest in three mineral claims, namely: Marmot -
15 units (record #365899), Wombat - 20 units (record #365900) and
Amax - 9 units (tag #237057).

I will deliver full title on demand to Ancona Mining Corporation
for as long as the claims are in good standing with the Province
of British Columbia.

Yours truly
