RE: Tylerstone Ventures Corporation
Amendment No. 3 to Form SB-2
File No. 333-121660
Filed on May 31, 2005
Dear Mr. Stephenson:
We have reviewed the filing referenced above and have the
following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise
your
document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will
consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or
a
revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in
your
explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide
us
with supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not
raise additional comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.
For purposes of this comment letter, we refer to the
pagination, paragraphs, sentence and line numbers as displayed by
the
marked courtesy copy version of your amended Form SB-2 filed on
May
31, 2005.
Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Risk Factors, page 3
General
1. In connection with prior comment two from our last letter
dated
May 13, 2005, we note you deleted your risk factor conveying you
could only operate for six more months absent the additional
funding
from these offering proceeds. Please revise your disclosure to
prominently highlight this separate risk factor in the forepart of
this section quantifying the number of months you will be able to
operate absent proceeds from this offering.
Loss Of Total Investment By New Investors If The Company Is Unable
To
Raise Sufficient Funds To Carry On Operations, page 3
2. Please revise this risk factor to simplify the presentation and
only provide the minimum amount of funds required to operate for
the
next twelve months. Pursuant to Rule 421(d), express your needs
in
the aggregate than providing details of your accounts payable on
an
account-by-account basis.
3. Similarly, the aggregate amount of funds necessary to operate
should be consistent with your more detailed description of those
needs in the Use of Proceeds and MD&A sections of this prospectus.
It appears that, assuming you do not complete your exploration
program, you will need a minimum of approximately $95,000 to
operate
for that period. To the contrary on pages 2 and 41 you state that
you will need a minimum of only $65,278 in total required funds.
Please revise accordingly.
4. We also note your disclosure in the text of this risk factor
regarding the potential need for additional advances from
management
and the risk that management may no longer provide such advances.
Revise to provide a separate risk factor caption highlighting the
potential lack of future advances and lack of personal guarantees
from management to order to secure funding from financial
institutions.
Auditors Are Concerned As To Whether Or Not The Company Will
Continue
As A Going Concern, page 3
5. Referring to last paragraph of the Madsen and Associates audit
opinion on page 48, please revise the caption of this risk factor
to
more accurately reflect the auditor`s "substantial doubt" rather
than
only "concern" as to whether you will continue as a going concern.
In this risk factor, you should clearly outline to investors the
underlying assumptions with respect to the preparation of the
financial statements (the existence of a viable business) that
based
on the auditor`s report may not be present or achievable.

As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in
response to these comments. You may wish to provide us with

comments and provides any requested supplemental information.
Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please
understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing
your
amendment and responses to our comments.
