Financial Statements

Balance Sheet, F-4

We note you capitalized $4,000 in connection with the purchase of mineral rights for the Close Allies Property. Please note, the recoverability of capitalized acquisition costs of mineral rights is presumed to be insupportable under SFAS 144 prior to determining the existence of a commercially minable deposit, as contemplated by Industry Guide 7, for a mining company in the exploration stage. Accordingly, it would appear that the financial

statements need to be revised to expense the capitalized costs of acquiring the mineral rights. Please revise your financial statements and policy note accordingly.
