Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-7
3.We note your response to prior comment 16. You indicate that the $395,735 was
treated as an equity contribution in 2023. Tell us where such equity contribution is
located in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Deficit for 2023 and in the Non-
cash financing activities of the Statement of Cash Flows for 2023.
4.We note your response to prior comment 17. Given your explanation, tell us why in
your Statement of Cash Flows the $325,000 is not presented on the line item Proceeds
from convertible notes payable and the $36,000 not presented on a line item Proceeds
from non-current bond liabilities, rather than on Proceeds from notes payable.
Additionally, in Note 5, Bond Liabilities, there does not appear to be any bond
liabilities issued in 2023. Please revise or clarify your response.
5.We note your response to prior comment 18. The Statement of Cash Flows shows
proceeds from convertible notes payable of $202,200 in 2024. However, your
response indicates that $98,354 relates to proceeds from convertible notes payable.
Additionally, it's unclear how the $1,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses
and $1,887 of accrued expenses - related party relate to convertible notes payable on
the Balance Sheet or Statement of Cash Flows. Please clarify or revise.
Note 4 - Convertible Notes, page F-12
6.The Company's response to prior comment 21 did not contain sufficient information.
Accordingly, we reissue the comment in its entirety. Please clarify or revise to clearly
describe the property noted as collateral in the table in Note 4 for each of your
convertible notes. In this regard, we note no property asset in your balance sheet.
7.The Company's response to prior comment number 22 did not contain sufficient
information. Please provide detailed information as to the transaction resulting in the
loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,774,000. In this regard, tell us the amount issued,
conversion price, number of warrants and exercise price of the convertible notes that
were originally issued by ICUMO and how the loss was determined due to the
replacement notes and warrants.
Note 7 - Stockholders' Equity, page F-13
8.We note your response to prior comment 25. We note that you updated the
compensation for 2023 detailed on page 43, which now totals $821,788 and is less
than Payroll and related expenses of $963,055 in the Statements of Operations on
page F-5. Additionally, some 2023 compensation was paid via stock compensation,
which would appear to lessen the amount deemed Payroll and related expenses. Please
clarify or revise.
Note 10 - Subsequent Events, page F-29
9.We note your response to prior comment 26 in which you indicate “the total on the
cover page should have been 249,730,673.” However, we note 251,372,937 shares on
page 5. Additionally, the percentage of beneficial ownership on page 45 is calculated
based upon 251,372,937 shares. Please clarify or revise accordingly.

10.We have reviewed your responses to the comments that were issued related to your
technical report summary and we have the following observations. Please address
each of these items in your response. If you do not concur with any of these
observations please explain in your response.
As required by Item 1302(a)(1) of Regulation S-K, your disclosure of mineral
resources must be based on and accurately reflect information and supporting
documentation prepared by a qualified person. Therefore the consultants that prepared
the mineral resource section of the technical report summary should provide consent
and be listed as qualified persons. In the alternative, the section should be prepared by
the sole qualified person that is currently referenced in the technical report summary.
In either case, the resource section should address each paragraph under Item
601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11) of Regulation S-K and all information should be current,
including mineral pricing and cost information. It appears that the information
prepared in this section is based on 2015 and 2012 cost and pricing information.
A detailed assessment of the cut-off grade is required, including estimates of assumed
costs and commodity prices. The qualified person must disclose the price and explain
the reason for using the selected price, along with the timeframe. In the scenario that
is presented in the current revision, it does not appear that the $5.0 RCV cut-off will
cover the estimated mining and processing costs of $7.57 as disclosed on page 162.
The resource table presented should include the point of reference, price, cut-off
grade, and metallurgical recovery factory. We suggest including this information in
footnotes to the resource tables.
An economic analysis in the initial assessment is optional, in order to demonstrate
economic potential. Inferred resources may be included in the economic analysis
provided the information required under item 1302(d)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K is also
provided, in each instance of the disclosure. The LOM annual project cash flow
should be included for the non-inferred resources and all tables under Item 19 should
be adequately labeled and described.
Additionally, the paragraph numbering within the technical report summary should be
corrected. For example, the paragraphs on page 80 of the technical report summary
are not sequentially labeled.
If you continue to disclose mineral resources please provide the information required
under Item 1304(d) of Regulation S-K in your registration statement and annual
filings, including the price, cut-off grade, metallurgical recovery factor, and the
specific point of reference.
