Form SB-2

Engineering Comments

General

1. Whenever you disclose mineral reserves estimates, indicate if
the
number represents the gold estimated to be contained in the ore in
the
ground, or the amount of gold that is projected to be recoverable
from
the ore.

Risk Factors, page 5

2. Unless you have an experienced mine operator in your
management,
who will be responsible for developing and operating your El
Chanate
Gold property, provide a risk factor that addresses the risks to
investors of having inexperienced management overseeing the
development and operations of a gold mine in Mexico.  Also address
the
fact that this is your first attempted open pit/heap leach mining
operation, and disclose the resultant risk associated with that
fact.

3. Concerning your El Chanate deposit, provide a risk factor that
addresses the risks to investors of your attempting to make a
profit
mining a relatively small and low grade gold deposit.  In
addition,
you should address the risks associated with the fact that you are
assuming that you will economically and successfully mine this
deposit, while:

* Meeting your capital and operating cost assumptions using
reconditioned used equipment,
* Attracting a qualified work force with relatively low wages
compared
to other mining countries, and
* Finding adequate sources of process water.

4. Disclose the risks associated with the fact that given the
short
mine life of five years, if major problems develop in the project,
or
you fail to achieve the operating efficiencies or costs projected
in
your feasibility study, you will have limited time to find ways to
correct those problems.

Our Business, page 23

5. Concerning your disclosure of mineral reserves on page 26,
disclose
your reserves in a table. As footnotes or as part of your reserve
table, disclose the following:

* The reserve as stated is an estimate of what can be economically
and
legally recovered from the mine and as such incorporates losses
for
dilution and mining recovery.
* The metallurgical recovery factor for each category of reserve.
* Gold prices and currency conversion factors used to estimate
your
reserves.

6. Revise your disclosure about your reserves to indicate that
your
reserve determination is based on a final or bankable feasibility
study.

7. Expand your introductory materials to include a non-technical
discussion of the meaning of the terms "reserve," "proven
reserve,"
and "probable reserve" sufficient that an investor unfamiliar with
your industry can understand the basic concepts.  Provide a brief
explanation of the relative accuracy and risk associated with each
category of reserve.
