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

rights. Please revise your financial statements and policy note accordingly.
