Dear Mr. Stunder:

We have reviewed your amended Form 10-SB and Form 10-QSB 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.

General 1. With respect to our previous comment 1 of our letter dated June 9, 2005, we note your revisions. Please continue your revisions as there are still various areas in the document where you discuss Canadian dollars without providing a translation to United States dollars.

Part I Item 1. Description of Business 2. Your attention is directed to prior comment 1 of our June 21, letter. Please more fully identify Echo Resources, which was granted an option in your "Bulls Eye" property. Advise how you became familiar with Echo Resources with whom you have entered into two significant agreements. 3. In the fifth paragraph on page 3, you state you signed an acquisition agreement on June 16, 2005. However, the agreement appears to have been consummated in 2004. Also, in other areas of the document you discuss an acquisition agreement dated June 16, 2004. Please revise the document to provide consistent information throughout. 4. In the last paragraph on page 3, you state "[i]f Echo Resources Inc. pays the $44,000...." Based on the financial statements, it appears that Echo has already paid the $44,000 as of December 31, 2004. Revise the disclosure or explain to us your accounting treatment for the $44,000. 5. In the second paragraph on page 4 you state you recorded the $50,000 received for the Bronco property interest as a deposit. Revise to clarify that the deposit is reflected as a liability on the balance sheet.

Acquisition Agreement 6. Your attention is directed to prior comment 4 of our June 21, letter, as previously requested, disclose how much Mr. Fu and Dr. Montgomery purchased the Scout Lake Property for and that the Acquisition Agreement requires Madison to loan the mine development costs to be borne by Dr. Montgomery and Mr. Fu. 7. In the second paragraph on page 5, you discuss certain properties that were claimed in April of 2002 and July of 2004. Revise to provide the names of these properties.

Exploration Program 8. Please put the references to Fort al Corne District and the Wood Mountain District in context. We understand that your focus will now be on the Wood Mountain District, specifically the Val Marie area.

Item 2. Plan of Operation 9. As previously requested by our prior comment 12 of our June 21, 2005 letter, please discuss the costs associated with being a publicly reporting company. We note your disclosure that your officers and directors have agreed to pay all costs and expenses associated with being a public company. We note that these costs are in addition to the significant costs associated with your exploration projects. As previously requested, please disclose the consequences to investors if you fail to satisfy your reporting obligations. 10. With respect to your geological report furnished supplementally, please advise why the report is dated July 2005, a date after the filing of the initial Form 10-SB filing.

Item 5. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons 11. Provide supplemental support for the statements that Mr. Stunder has been awarded "International honors for technology projects under his direction" and that Dr. Montgomery is a "recognized diamond specialist having worked on several diamond and mining projects around the World." Identify the Swiss firm for which Mr. Haskins worked as the CFO and Executive Director.
