26.Please explain to us how the Investment in Talawaan Project on the balance sheet of

It is unclear whether the $500,000 paid to acquire the property relates to this amount. In
this regard, expand the disclosure on pages 28-29 to detail these operating agreements. We
also note that these are described as long term operating agreements with exclusive land
usage rights. Address the difference between these land usage rights and those related to
the Alason Project and others and why this amount is not included under Land Usage
Rights in the balance sheet.

reinvestment, including for recapitalization and expansion of the joint venture mining
