“During 2009 and 2008, 21% and 31%, resp ectively, of the Company's revenues
generated from zeolite product sales were to tw o customers.  The loss of the Company's
"key" customers could adversely affect its busine ss.”  In view of these disclosures, please

 4. You state, “During both 2009 and 2008, $86,956 was paid and capitalized as mineral rights in accordance with the Company’s acc ounting policies.”  However, we note the
total amount of mineral rights capitalized  of $193,549, presented in Note 6 to your
financial statements, was unchanged from 2008 to 2009 (and was also the same as of
December 31, 2007).  Please clarify this apparent inconsistency between these
disclosures.

of these amounts, and ensure that futu re filings are clarified, if necessary.

such as "one inch equals one mile" may be  utilized provided the original scale of

or province, etc., in which it was located.

• A title of the map or drawing, and the date on which it was drawn.

features on the drawing.
