Request to Withdraw Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-168187
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Chile Mining Technologies Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby respectfully requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) consent to the withdrawal of the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-168187) filed with the Commission on July 16, 2010, together with all amendments thereto, (the “Registration Statement”), with such application to be approved effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practical date thereafter.
The Registration Statement was filed in connection with a secondary offering of 1,121,531 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, owned by 47 selling stockholders. The Registrant determined not to proceed with the registration of the shares included in the Registration Statement at this time. The Registrant confirms that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective and no securities were sold in connection with the offering for which the Registration Statement was filed.
The Registrant acknowledges that no refund will be made for fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. The Registrant respectfully requests that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use should the Registrant proceed with the filing of a subsequent registration statement meeting the requirements of Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Registrant’s legal counsel, Louis A. Bevilacqua, Esq. of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, at (202) 663-8158.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana
