Filed October 4, 2017
File No. 000-32629
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Reference is made to the letter of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated October 30, 2017, setting forth comments to the Registration Statement on Form 10 filed by Pacific Gold & Royalty Corp. (the “Company”) on October 4, 2017. Set forth below are the Staff’s comments, indicated in bold, and the Company’s responses.
General
1.
Please be advised that your registration statement will automatically become effective 60 days after filing. Upon effectiveness, you will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, even if we have not cleared comments. In the event it appears that you will not be able to respond to all of our comments by the 60th day, you may wish to consider withdrawing your registration statement and refiling it.
Response: The Company is aware of and acknowledges its filing responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
2.
Please tell us how you determined you are an emerging growth company as it appears your common equity securities were sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act 1933 that was taken effective on June 25, 2007. If you are not an emerging growth company please revise your disclosure on page 2 to reflect your current status clearly.
Response: The Company has removed the reference to itself as an Emerging Growth Company.
3.
Please reconcile the company name and description of your securities with Exhibit 3.
Response: The Company has amended its Form 10 filing to include in its Exhibit 3 disclosure the amended Articles of Incorporation filed with the State of Wyoming to reflect its name change, authorized shares and par value changes.
Business, page 2
4.
Your disclosure refers to mining claims and royalties on mining property in Nevada and Colorado, although your disclosure covers only the Colorado property. Please disclose the Nevada property according to Item 102 of Regulation S-K and Industry Guide 7, or tell us why disclosure is not required.
Response: Item 102 of Regulation S-K states “…of the principal plants, mines and other materially important physical properties of the registrant and its subsidiaries.”
The two Nevada properties in question (including the mining claims) are no longer owned by the Company and have not been for more than 2 years and as such the Company does not have full and complete access to all of the current information about the properties and equipment located at the properties, thus the Company has only disclosed the nature of the Royalty agreements and amounts that may become due to the Company in the future.
Project W
5.
Please describe clearly the terms of the option and asset sale agreement with Pilot Metals and clarify what royalty payments have been made that you reference in the last sentence of this section.
Response: We have amended the Form 10 filing to provide the complete history of agreement amendments and payments that have been made to the Company regarding the sale of Project W, as well as clarified to whom payments were made by the Company.
Graysill…page 2
6.
Please reconcile your plans to sell the Graysill claims as disclosed on page F-19 with your statements in this section that Phases 2 and 3 should proceed, clarifying the plans for this property.
Response: Western Uranium has decided on October 26, 2017 to terminate its LOI to purchase the Graysill project. We have edited page 6 to clarify this in the Form 10 filing and the Company plans to continue with its current plans for developing the Graysill project as outlined in the Form 10.
Properties, page 8
7.
Please reconcile your disclosure regarding your head office with the disclosure on the cover page and in your articles of continuance.
Response: The address on the cover page of the Form 10 has been corrected. The address in the Articles of continuance is strictly the address of the registered agent of the company.

We have changed the disclosure on page 7 of the Form 10.
