Risk Factors, page 4 2. If material, provide a risk factor that addresses the possibility that you may be deemed a Passive Foreign Investment Company, as provided in your taxation discussion. Briefly explain that U.S. investors who invest in Grandview Gold Inc. will be subject to U.S. taxation at possibly adverse or higher rates and under a system that may be more complicated and unfamiliar to them. 3. Some of your subheadings merely state a fact about your business without fully describing the risks associated with that fact. For example, we note "Gold Prices are Volatile and Could Decline" and "We are Dependent Upon the Continuing Services of Management." Where you have not already done so, please revise each of your subheadings to ensure that they disclose the specific risk or risks that you are discussing in the text.

Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:
