Our firm is counsel for C.O.R.E. (USA) Community-Oriented Resource Environment, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), with respect to the preparation of the registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering 13,299,452 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
In connection with rendering this opinion we have examined originals or copies of the following documents and instruments (collectively, the "Documents"):
(a) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company dated December 23, 2003, as filed with the State of Nevada;
(b) the By-Laws of the Company;
(c) certain records of the Company's corporate proceedings related to the issuance of the Shares; and
(d) such other records and documents as we have deemed relevant for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
In our examination, we have assumed, without investigation, the authenticity of the Documents, the genuineness of all signatures to the Documents, the legal capacity of all persons who executed the Documents, the due authorization and valid execution by all parties to the Documents, and that such Documents are free from any form of fraud, misrepresentation, duress or criminal activity, and the conformity of the originals of the Documents which were submitted to us as copies.
Solely for purposes of this opinion, you should assume that our investigation was and will be limited exclusively to all documentation that we believe was necessary in rendering this opinion.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the legal competency of all parties to the Documents and the due authorization, valid execution, delivery and acceptance of all Documents by all parties thereto.
No opinion is being rendered hereby with respect to the truth and accuracy, or completeness of the Registration Statement or any portion thereof.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereof, it is our opinion that, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Company was, or is, authorized to issue the Shares and such Shares are or will be, when sold by the selling shareholders, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. This opinion is expressly limited in scope to the Shares enumerated herein which are to be expressly covered by the referenced Registration Statement.
This opinion is based solely on Nevada general corporate law.
This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction described herein and may not be delivered to or relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
FRASER AND COMPANY LLP
