Dear  Sirs:

RE:  BATTLE  MOUNTAIN  GOLD  EXPLORATION  CORP.
     (FORMERLY  HUDSON  VENTURES  INC.)
     FILE  REF.  NO.  000-50399
- -----------------------------------------------

We  were  previously  the  principal  accountants  for  Battle  Mountain  Gold
Exploration Corp. and we reported on the financial statements of Battle Mountain
Gold  Exploration Corp. as of the periods since July 31, 2002.  As of January 4,
2005, we were not engaged as the principal accountants for Battle Mountain Gold
Exploration  Corp.  We  have  read  Battle  Mountain  Gold  Exploration  Corp.'s
statements  under  Item  4 of its Form 8-K, dated October 20, 2004, and we agree
with  such  statements.

For  the  most  recent  fiscal  period  of  2004, there has been no disagreement
between  Battle  Mountain  Gold  Exploration  Corp.  and Morgan & Company on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing  scope  or  procedure,  which  disagreement,  if  not  resolved  to the
satisfaction of Morgan & Company would have caused it to make a reference to the
subject  matter  of  the  disagreement  in  connection  with  its  reports.

Yours  truly,

"Morgan  &  Company"
