On Monday, Grizzly Discoveries (TSX: V.GZD, Stock Forum) shares climbed 36% to 75 cents after the micro cap miner said exploration work is underway on its Alberta Potash Project. “We are aggressively pursuing the development of this project given our belief that agricultural products and foodstuffs could experience significant inflation over the next several years. We are excited and encouraged that the Alberta Potash Project has the potential for economic concentrations of potash in an industry-friendly province such as Alberta where the tax regime and royalty structure is favorable. This economic environment, combined with the immense size of the project and indications of historic potash mineralization at depths favorable for solution mining, bode very well for the future results of our exploration," said Grizzly Discoveries President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Testo.

As well, shares of Intertainment Media (TSX: V.INT, Stock Forum) added 11% at $1.68 as the company announced that its social media, real time, language translation platform, Ortsbo.com, continues to accelerate, reaching 13.1 million unique monthly users, month over month for the period ended April 25, 2011.
