Re: Post-effective Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form SB-2 of
    Gold Standard, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company")

    Commission File No. 333-115067

Dear Ms. Duru:

    Pursuant to your telephone conversation with the Company's counsel,
Branden T. Burningham, this morning, the Company hereby requests acceleration
of the effectiveness of the above-referenced registration statement as of
today, December 8, 2005.

    The Company acknowledges that:

    * 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 this action 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.

                                          GOLD STANDARD, INC.

                                          /s/ Scott L. Smith

                                          Scott L. Smith, President
