Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Engineering Comments General 1. Please indicate that you are an exploration stage company, that there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of the properties, and that further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined. See Industry Guide 7(a) (4). 2. Add a statement that addresses that fact that the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves that meet the requirements of Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote, in all probability the properties do not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost. 3. Expand the disclosure concerning the exploration plans for the properties. * Disclose a brief geological justification for each of the exploration projects written in non-technical language. * Give a breakdown the exploration timetable and budget, including estimated amounts that will be required for each exploration activity, such as geophysics, geochemistry, surface sampling, drilling, etc. for each prospect. * If there is a phased program planned, briefly outline all phases. * Alternatively, disclose there are no current detailed plans to conduct exploration on the property. * Disclose how the exploration program will be funded. * Identify who will be conducting any proposed exploration work, and discuss what their qualifications are. 4. Provide as an exhibit, a written consent from any experts whose name is cited, and/or whose work is incorporated into the document. These consents should concur with the summary of the information in the report disclosed, and agree to being named as an expert in the registration statement. 2004 Field Program, page 10 and 8 - K Attachment (Press Release filed November 18, 2004) 5. The first paragraph refers to "gathered float" samples followed by "grab" samples. These references are followed by "the best samples" and "sample ranges" in prospect areas on page 12. As a general checklist, when reporting the results of sampling and chemical analyses: * Disclose only weighed-average sample analyses associated with a measured length or a substantial volume. * Eliminate all analyses from "grab" or "dump" samples, unless the sample is of a substantial and disclosed weight. * Eliminate all disclosure of the highest values or grades of sample sets. * Eliminate grades disclosed as "up to" or "as high as." * Eliminate statements containing grade and/or sample-width ranges. * Aggregated sample values from related locations should be aggregated based on a weighted average of lengths of the samples. * Generally, use tables to improve readability of sample and drilling data. * Soil samples may be disclosed as a weighted average value over an area. * Refrain from reporting single soil sample values. * Convert all ppb quantities to ppm quantities for disclosure. Revise the filing accordingly. Closing Comments As appropriate, please amend your filing and respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.
