Re: Northern Minerals Inc.
    Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form SB-2
    Filed September 20, 2007
    File Number: 333-144840

Dear Mr. Madison:

This letter shall serve as the request of Northern  Minerals  Inc.,  pursuant to
Rule 461, to accelerate the effectiveness of the  above-referenced  registration
statement to Friday,  October 12, 2007, 12:00PM EST, or the soonest  practicable
date thereafter. We are aware of our filing obligations under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and intend to fully comply therewith.

We also make the following representations:

     *    should the  Commission  or the staff,  acting  pursuant  to  delegated
          authority,  declare the filing  effective,  it does not  foreclose the
          Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

     *    the  action  of  the  Commission  or the  staff,  acting  pursuant  to
          delegated  authority,  in  declaring  the filing  effective,  does not
          relieve the company from its full  responsibility for the adequacy and
          accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

     *    the company  may not assert  staff  comments  and the  declaration  of
          effectiveness  as  a  defense  in  any  proceeding  initiated  by  the
          Commission  or any person  under the  federal  securities  laws of the
          United States.

Thank you very much for your kind cooperation and assistance in this matter.

Sincerely yours,


/s/ Damian O'Hara
