Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on EDGAR.

Please supplementally provide us with copies of all written communications, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, that you, or anyone authorized to do so on your behalf, present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act, whether or not they retain copies of the communications.

2. It appears that you qualify as an "emerging growth c ompany" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. If so, please disclose that fact in your filing.

Marc Fogassa Jupiter Gold Corporation October 27, 2016 Page 2

under which the selling shareholder received the shares, and the amount of time that the selling shareholder has held the shares, it appears that the resale of securities is by or on behalf of the issuer. Under Rule 415, equity securities offered by or on behalf of the issuer cannot be sold in an "at the market offering" unless the offering meets the requirements of Rule 415(a)(1)(x). As it appears that you do not meet the transaction requirements for registration o f a primary offering on Form F -3, you would have to include a price for the shares and disclose that the selling shareholder is an underwriter that will conduct their offering at a fixed price for the duration of the offering. Please refer to Securities A ct Rule C&DI 612.09, available at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/securitiesactrules -interps.htm, for guidance. Please revise or provide your analysis as to why you do not believe this is an at the market offering.

4. In addition, we note t hat you do not have a market for your securities and the prospectus cover page refers to the selling shareholder selling at varying prices. Therefore, to the extent you are able to satisfy the comment above, the selling shareholders would only be able to sell at a fixed price until such time as you are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or other market.
