      We
        acknowledge receipt of your comment letter of December 14, 2005 respecting
        our
        Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (“SB-2”) and Form 10-KSB for Fiscal Year
        Ended August 31, 2005 (“10-KSB”) noted in the caption above.

      We
        have
        enclosed three clean copies and three ‘red-line’ copies of both our SB-2A and
        10-KSBA filings, as amended, for ease of reference to the changes made to
        the
        documents detailed below. Please note we have also made an amendment to our
        Form
        10-QSB originally filed on December 20, 2005.

      Following
        are our responses to your comments which are keyed to the remarks in your
        letter
        of December 14, 2005. Please note that all page references below refer to
        the
‘red-line’ enclosed copy of our amended SB-2A,or 10-KSBA as the case may be:

          -1-

      General

              1.

                As
                  requested, we have made changes throughout the SB-2A where your
                  comments
                  were applicable to disclosure appearing in more than one location,
                  despite
                  the fact that such comment may have made reference to only one
                  location in
                  the document.

              2.

                We
                  have made amendments, throughout the SB-2A, to make plain that
                  Standard
                  (i) is the owner of one, and only one, mineral property, and (ii)
                  has a
                  limited operating history and has not generated any revenues since
                  inception. In particular we refer you to ‘Summary of Prospectus’, page 6,
                  where we have added language to make plain we have a limited operating
                  history and only one mineral property; Risk Factors, page XX, paragraphs
                  2
                  and 13. where we have added language to make clear the Standard
                  Claim is
                  our sole property; the section ‘Business, sub-section ‘Our Business’, page
                  20, we deleted reference to ‘acquisition of mineral properties’ and
                  stressed that our business today is confined to exploration of
                  the
                  Standard Claim; and in ‘Management Discussion and Analysis’ page 25, we
                  added specific reference to our limited operating history and ‘sole
                  property’ status.

              3.

                We
                  have updated our financial disclosure throughout to November 30,
                  2005, the
                  date of our most recent quarterly financial statements, and to
                  December
                  31, 2005 or later where possible. With respect to our OTC Bulletin
                  Board
                  application we have made plain that such application will be made
                  after
                  this Registration Statement becomes effective; see Risk Factors,
                  page 12,
                  paragraph 17.; and ‘Description of Securities, subsection ‘Market
                  Information’, page 39;

      We
        have
        enclosed an updated consent from our independent auditors. See Exhibit
        23(1).

      Prospectus
        Summary, Page 3

              4.

                We
                  have amended the wording as requested to make plain that the Summary
                  addresses all material
                  information. See opening paragraph, ‘Summary of Prospectus’, page
                  7.

              5.

                Edward
                  Skoda is an independent mineral consultant with whom Standard has
                  a long
                  standing business relationship. Mr Skoda was engaged by Standard
                  to locate
                  and stake the Standard Claim and to conduct exploration work on
                  the claim
                  on behalf of the Company over the past few years. Now that title
                  to the
                  Standard Claim has been transferred to my name, the disclosure
                  concerning
                  title to the claim has been amended to reflect this, in the ‘Prospectus
                  Summary’, page 6, and in ‘Business’, subsection ‘Business Development of
                  Issuer Since Inception’, page 20. In this latter section we did spell out
                  the nature of Mr. Skoda’s relationship to

          -2-

      the
        Company. I am enclosing a copy obtained on-line from the website of the Ministry
        of Energy and Mines for the Province of British Columbia which verifies the
        Standard claim has been transferred to my name under my personal Free Miners
        License. Mr. Skoda no longer has any authority to deal with or transact any
        business with regards to the Standard claim.

      Selected
        Financial Information, page 4

              6.

                We
                  completed the private placement on September 30, 2005. We have
                  made this
                  clear throughout the registration statement by replacing the “subsequent
                  to August 31, 2005” or “in September 2005” language with the specific
                  date; see ‘Selected Financial Information, page 7; ‘Business’ page 20;
                  ‘Management Discussion and Analysis, page 27; ‘Executive Compensation’,
                  page 35;

              7.

                We
                  have revised this disclosure to account for the application of
                  the entire
                  proceeds of the private placement. We have corrected the error
                  noted so
                  that the amount spent together with the amount remaining now equals
                  the
                  total proceeds of the offering. See page
                  7.

              8.

                We
                  have rectified the errors referred to in’ Selected Financial Information’.
                  The figures shown here now correspond with those in our audited
                  financial
                  statements as well as out November 30, 2005 un-audited statements
                  included
                  in this amendment to our registration statement. See page 7.

        Factors, page 5

      If
        we
        don’t raise enough money for exploration, page 6

      9.
        We
        have added the sentence: “We estimate that we have sufficient cash on hand to
        continue operations…..” to “Risk Factor”
        6
        (see
        page 9), and have also made a corresponding change to “Management's
        Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations”, see
        page
        25.

      Because
        we may be unable to meet property maintenance requirements, page
        8

      10.
        We
        have added the sentence: “The aggregate minimum we must expend annually is
        approximately $3,100.” to “Risk Factors” 12, (see page 11), thus explicitly
        stating the annual obligation that must be fulfilled to maintain our interest
        in
        the Standard Claim. See also ‘Business’, subsection ‘Standard Claim’, in the
        paragraph immediately following the table providing details on the Standard
        Claim, where we stated clearly that it is an annual obligation.

      Selling
        Security Holders, page 13

      11.
        We
        have added language to make clear we have described all material relationships
        in accordance the instructions in Item 507 of Reg. S-B. See the paragraph
        added
        following the table in ‘Selling Security Holders’, page 18.

      Plan
        of Distribution, page 15

      12
        We
        decided to removed the right of selling security holders to make ‘short sales’
See ‘Plan of Distribution’, page 19.

        page 16

      Business
        development of issuer since inception, page 16

      13.
        We
        have given an explanation as to the application of the $3,050 in initial
        seed
        capital and have added language here to describe what ‘staking’ means. See page
        19.

      14.
        The
        geologist who prepared the 1999 geological report referred to was Calvin
        Church.
        See page 20. The consultant who undertook our 2005 work program was Edward
        Skoda. See page 20, where we have added wording to disclose these
        facts.

      15.
        We
        have neither identified Calvin Church as an ‘expert’ nor filed his report since
        we are not relying on Mr. Church or his report in terms of our decision to
        continue to maintain our interest in, and carry out exploration work on,
        the
        Standard Claim. Mr. Church’s property review report was prepared over six years
        ago. Given the passage of time and the work undertaken on the Standard Claim
        in
        the intervening period we considered it appropriate to have an ‘expert’ prepare
        a current report and work recommendation on the Standard Claim. Mr. Church
        was
        unavailable. We hired Mr. Timmins in his stead. The Timmins Report, for which
        his consent has been filed as you have noted, supersedes and replaces the
‘out
        of date’ report prepared by Mr. Church in 1999. Indeed, the work we propose to
        carry out on the Standard Claim is based entirely on the Timmins Report’s
        recommendations.

      16.
        We
        have added language to describe the work undertaken on the Standard Claim
        during
        2005. We refer you to page 20 for the wording describing the 2005 work program
        added to this section.

      We
        have
        also added language to (i) make plain our intention to file proof of this
        work
        with the Ministry, and (ii) the consequences of our failure to do so. Please
        see
        page 20 in this section as well as ‘Risk Factors’-12, page 11.

      Management’s
        Discussion and Analysis,.page 21

      17.
        See
        page 26 where we have added the sub-section ‘Trends’.

          -4-

      Our
        planned exploration program, page 23

      18.
        The
        basis for our “…anticipated exploration costs over the next twelve months…” of
        $25,000 is the Phase I work recommendation contained in the Timmins Report.
        We
        have modified the language in this section, see page 27, to make plain that
        this
        is the work we anticipate carrying out over the next twelve months, subject
        to
        our having cash available for this purpose. Please note the amount of $25,000
        has been reduced to $22,000 in this paragraph to reflect the work performed
        on
        the Standard claim in November 2005. This exploration work will be filed
        in
        early February prior to the expiry of the Standard claim.

      Principal
        Shareholders, page 32

      19.The
        word “required”’ referred to in this comment was a typographical error. It
        should have stated “…to which such share may be acquired
        in the
        next 60 days….”. This ‘typo’ has been corrected. See page 37.

      Market
        Information, page 35.

      20.
        We
        have corrected the erroneous language, which was inadvertent; to make clear
        that
        if our shares are not traded on the OTCBB there will be no market for them.
        See
        page 39.

      21.
        The
        reference to “Henley” in the quote contained in your comment was a typographical
        error. The reference should have been to ‘Standard” and the requisite change has
        been made to page 39.

      Additional
        Information, page 37

      22.We
        have replaced the erroneous address for the SEC with the current address.
        See
        page 42.

      Subsequent
        to receipt of your comment letter we learned of modifications to Item 512
        of
        Regulation S-B. We have amended the wording of this section of our registration
        statement accordingly. See page 63.

        The
        word “significant” has been eliminated from the second paragraph in this section

      27.Both

        specified under Instruction 31 to Item 601 of Regulation S-B.

      Please
        note that in adherence to comment 27 I have amended Form 10Q-SB which has
        not
        been filed on Edgar.

      We
        appreciate your comments and constructive suggestions concerning disclosure
        in
