USE OF PROCEEDS, PAGE 12

5. We have presented the net proceeds received and use of proceeds in three capital raising scenarios and provided a tabular disclosure to reflect a 25%, 50% and 100% offering level. The accompanying disclosure as well clarifies: the offering is on a "best efforts" basis, the three scenarios are presented for illustrative purposes only and the actual proceeds, if any, may differ.

6. The disclosure has been revised consistent with your comment.

7. The disclosure has been revised to ensure that the detailed line items discussed in the application of proceeds table are consistent with the nature and amount of the expenses described in the Plan of Operations. Additionally the Management Discussion and Analysis has been expanded to clarify the expected source of the necessary additional funds.

(cont'd. Question 11.)

Based on the above factors, the Company believes that the functional currency is the Canadian dollar.

We apologize for our prior comment in our letter of April 18, 2005, number 30, as in fact we do use a Canadian bank account for a portion of our transactions. However the foreign exchange amount was $119 dollars and was considered insignificant and was included with bank charges and interest on the statement of operations.
