In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure.

You state in the correspondence in response to comment 5 that your Canadian legal counsel, Gregory Yanke confirmed that title to a mineral property may be registered in the name of a Nevada Corporation. This is contradictory to the legal opinion provided by Mr. Yanke. The opinion states that "a corporation must be registered in the jurisdiction in which the mineral claims are located in order to hold title so such mineral claims." The mineral claims are located in Ontario, Canada but Matrix Ventures is incorporated in Nevada. Please correct the apparent discrepancy. Further, you state that you have filed the consent to use this legal opinion as an exhibit. We cannot locate this consent. Interests of Named Experts And Counsel, page 20 2. We reissue our prior comment 7. Please revise the third paragraph under this caption. The registration statement must contain an opinion of counsel in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-B.
