For
the convenience of the Staff, each of the Staff’s comments is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this letter to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to

expenses offset by revenues during the next twelve months of operations.” You also state that “the Company does not project

to prior comment 4. Given that you acknowledge the amounts are misclassified, tell us why you did not revise the presentation or revise
in the next filing. Additionally, address how $36,000 of Proceeds from non-current bond liabilities were received when no bond liabilities
appear to have been issued in 2023, per Note 5.
Response:
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it ascertained in the fiscal year 2023 financial audit that prior unaudited unreviewed
financial statements for fiscal year 2022 had understated the debenture balance of $3,135,000 by $36,000. Upon further review, it was
determined that this insignificant amount was included in equity as part of the recapitalization.
Note

We note responses to prior
comments 4 and 5. Please provide us with rollforward schedules for each of the years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 and through April
5, 2024, when the notes were converted to common stock. The rollforward schedules should begin with the balance of convertible notes
as of February 1, 2022 through to the ending balance as of January 31, 2023, continue to the ending balance as of January 31, 2024
and end with the zero balance at April 5, 2024. In these rollforward schedules, please show dates and amounts of each convertible note
issued during these periods. In addition, show any discounts associated with each convertible note and other applicable reconciling
items with clear explanations. The total of the balances should match the amounts presented in the balance sheets as of January 31,
2023, January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024.
Response:
Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has prepared the requested rollforward schedule and attached it as Exhibit 1.
4.
We note your response to
prior comment 7. In this regard, we note that Convertible Notes at December 31, 2022 in the ICUMO unaudited financial statements in
the Form 8-K/A filed on February 14, 2023 totaled $3,674,000. Explain to us the difference between the $3,674,000 value and the $898,000
carrying value of ICUMO notes detailed in your response.
Response:
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it filed a Form 8-K/A on February 14, 2023, where the Company identified these notes
as “convertible” when several of the notes contained no such conversion features. This information was provided in Note 6
to the December 31, 2022, unaudited financial statements on page 13 which included the terms of these notes, in which we stated only
$325,000 worth of notes were convertible.
For
the Form 10-Q filed June 14, 2023, for the period ended April 30, 2023, the Company detected this error and appropriately reclassified
the note balances which were not convertible to “Bond Liabilities” which was the financial statement description selected
by management for these notes. In essence, this is a reclassification due to an error in the unaudited and unreviewed information presented
in the Form 8-K/A filed on February 14, 2023.

to include the point of reference at which your mineral resources were calculated, for example in-situ, mill feed, saleable product,
etc, as required by Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11)(1) of Regulation S-K;
Response:
The technical summary report has added statements on pages 3 and 93 of the report in accordance with the comments of the Staff.

Revise
to discuss the operating costs associated with your cut-off grade as required by Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11)(iii) of Regulation S-K,
and provide additional disclosure regarding the incremental cost associated with the cost to process the material that has been sorted.
For example, the pricing that you have referenced related to your cut-off grade is a finished product price, however the unit cost does
not appear to cover all incremental costs up to the point of a saleable product;
Response:
The technical summary report has added statements on pages 5 and 105 of the report in accordance with the comments of the Staff.
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that one must take into account the upgrade achieved by the sorters in that $5 of material
is fed into sorters but $6.75 of material comes out to the mill. The overall costs if the processing admin and refining charges are added
is $6 thus the output of $6.75 generates a profit.
Revise
to discuss the uncertainty in the estimates of inferred, indicated, and measured resources as required by Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11)(v)

Dear
Sir and Madam:
On
behalf of Idaho Copper Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), we hereby file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) this correspondence in response to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”), dated
December 5, 2024, with reference to the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Commission on May 15, 2024 and Form 8-K filed with the
Commission on October 8, 2024.
For
the convenience of the Staff, each of the Staff’s comments is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this letter to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to
the Company on a consolidated basis.
Form
10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2024
Item
2. Properties, page 7
1.
We
note your response to comments prior 1 and 2. Please provide your proposed Form 10-K revisions in your next response.
Response:
The Company respectfully advises the Staff, after speaking with various accounting officials, that the Company believes the F-page
amendments are not significant and, therefore, are not material. The Company does not believe an amended 10-K is warranted here. Additionally,
the S-1, as well as the Form 10-Q which will be filed, address the Staff’s comments and provide clarity and updated disclosure.

2.
We
note your responses to prior comments 6 and 10. In this regard, we note that Convertible notes and Bond liabilities at December 31,
2022 in the ICUMO unaudited financial statements in the Form 8-K/A filed on February 14, 2023 were $3,674,000 and $100,000, respectively.
However, in the Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2023 filed June 14, 2023. Convertible notes and Bond liabilities at January
31, 2023 are $218,429 and $3,135,000, respectively, reflecting the merger and application of reverse merger accounting. Please explain
the significant difference in the values from the December 31, 2022 financial statements of ICUMO to those values in the January
31, 2023 financial statements of the Company.
Response:
The Company filed Form 8-K/A on February 14, 2023, whereas the Company had identified these notes as “convertible” when
several of the notes contained no such conversion features. This information was provided in Note 6 to the December 31, 2022, unaudited
financial statements on page 13 which included the terms of these notes of which there was only $325,000 of convertible notes.
For
the Form 10-Q filed June 14, 2023, for the period ended April 30, 2023, the Company detected this error and appropriately reclassified
the note balances which were not convertible to “Bond Liabilities” which was the financial statement description selected
by management for these notes. In essence, this is a reclassification due to an error in the unaudited and unreviewed information presented
in the Form 8-K/A filed on February 14, 2023.
Note
4 – Convertible Notes, page F-12
3.
We
note your responses to prior comments 4 and 5. Please provide us with rollforward schedules
for each of the years ended January 31, 2024 and 2023. The rollforward schedules should begin
with the balance of convertible notes as of February 1, 2022 through to the ending balance
as of January 31, 2023 and continue to the ending balance as of January 31, 2024. In these
rollforward schedules, please show dates and amounts of each convertible note issue during
these two years. In addition, show any discounts associated with each convertible note and
other applicable reconciling items with clear explanations. The total of the balances should
match to the amounts presented in the balance sheets as of January 31, 2023 and 2024.
Response:
The Company has prepared the requested roll forward schedule as attached in Exhibit 1.
If
we can provide any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

note your response to prior comment 17. Given your explanation, tell us why in your Statement of Cash Flows the $325,000 is not presented
on the line item Proceeds from convertible notes payable and the $36,000 not presented on a line item Proceeds from non-current bond
liabilities, rather than on Proceeds from notes payable. Additionally, in Note 5, Bond Liabilities, there does not appear to be any
bond liabilities issued in 2023. Please revise or clarify your response.
Response:
The amounts are appropriately presented within financing as required by U.S. GAAP however we acknowledge they are misclassified
and we will reclassify these amounts in our future filings.
5.
We
note your response to prior comment 18. The Statement of Cash Flows shows proceeds from convertible notes payable of $202,200 in
2024. However, your response indicates that $98,354 relates to proceeds from convertible notes payable. Additionally, it’s
unclear how the $1,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses and $1,887 of accrued expenses - related party relate to convertible
notes payable on the Balance Sheet or Statement of Cash Flows. Please clarify or revise.
Response:
As reflected within Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we issued $202,000 of additional notes payable. On issuance,
a discount was recognized attributable to the conversion feature and associated warrants in the amount of $103,846. The $98,354 is reflective
of the net increase in the account balance at initial recognition which is inclusive of the aforementioned discount. We did not investigate
the $1,000 or $1,887 as these amounts are trivial to the consolidated financial statements.

The
Company’s response to prior comment 21 did not contain sufficient information. Accordingly, we reissue the comment in its entirety.
Please clarify or revise to clearly describe the property noted as collateral in the table in Note 4 for each of your convertible
notes. In this regard, we note no property asset in your balance sheet.
Response:
The Amended Registration Statement has been revised in accordance with the comments of the Staff on page F-12.

The
Company’s response to prior comment number 22 did not contain sufficient information. Please provide detailed information
as to the transaction resulting in the loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,774,000. In this regard, tell us the amount issued, conversion
price, number of warrants and exercise price of the convertible notes that were originally issued by ICUMO and how the loss
was determined due to the replacement notes and warrants.
Response:
The original lenders from ICUMO were each issued new convertible notes and warrants in the name of Joway Health Industries (Idaho
Copper). As a result, we determined that this transaction represented a debt extinguishment because the present value of the newly issued
debt and warrants exceeded the present value of the ICUMO debt by more than 10% as discussed in ASC 470-50-40-10. Accordingly, the value
of the newly issued Joway note and warrants were recognized at fair value with a corresponding expense less the carrying value of ICUMO
notes. There were no other components within the transaction.
The
value of each component in the transaction was determined as follows:
Warrants
Exercise Price
$ 0.15
Stock Price
$ 0.22
Volatility*
168 %
Risk Free Rate
2.97 %
Term (years)
3
Fair value of warrants
$ 1,773,550
*We
used comparable companies for determining historical volatility due to the Company’s market not being actively traded at the time
of the transaction and for a lack of historical pricing data sufficient to match with the term of the underlying warrants.
The
new Joway notes were estimated to have a fair value of $898,000 based on the debt holders willingness to exchange their existing notes
on a dollar for dollar basis with the old notes. Accordingly, the loss on debt extinguishment was calculated as:
Fair value of Joway warrants
$ 1,773,550
Fair value of Joway notes
898,000
Less: Carrying value of ICUMO notes
(898,000 )

$821,788 and is less than Payroll and related expenses of $963,055 in the Statements of Operations on page F-5. Additionally, some
2023 compensation was paid via stock compensation, which would appear to lessen the amount deemed Payroll and related expenses. Please
clarify or revise.

We
have reviewed your responses to the comments that were issued related to your technical report
summary and we have the following observations. Please address each of these items in your
response. If you do not concur with any of these observations please explain in your response.
As
required by Item 1302(a)(1) of Regulation S-K, your disclosure of mineral resources must be based on and accurately reflect information
and supporting documentation prepared by a qualified person. Therefore the consultants that prepared the mineral resource section
of the technical report summary should provide consent and be listed as qualified persons. In the alternative, the section should
be prepared by the sole qualified person that is currently referenced in the technical report summary.
Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that Mr. Dykes has prepared the section as author/QP as he worked directly with the consultants
on all aspects of the report. The Canadian filed version of the report required all QP’s be independent of the issuer and as
such Mr. Dykes is not independent, the consultant took responsibility for all work, which is allowed under Canada in 43-101. Under
Canada in 43-101, a QP can take responsibility for another individual’s work.
In
either case, the resource section should address each paragraph under Item 601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11) of Regulation S-K and all information
should be current, including mineral pricing and cost information. It appears that the information prepared in this section is based
on 2015 and 2012 cost and pricing information.
Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that all information is current. However, please note it is not customary to use current spot
prices in the technical analysis of long-term projects like Cumo, especially given the high volatility in the market prices. For
example, copper prices are rising but there are challenges with the current global economy. There is no way to accurately select
prices when the future economy is unknown. The author has taken a conservative approach to metal pricing in order to not be overly
promotional or optimistic as it relates to metal prices.
The
mineral pricing and cost information is based on a multiyear averages. It takes a conservative approach to the economic analysis.
Given the high volatility of pricing information that is available the QP took a reasonable approach to estimate the various costs
and prices. All costs with dates are adjusted upward to take into account inflation at time of the report (please note page 165 item
18.2 of the report).
We
respectfully advise the Staff that all prices are disclosed in several locations throughout the report. In addition, all costs are
also disclosed in the various operating costs and capital costs. See the following sections for the breakdowns in section 11 and
section 18. The QP’s reasoning is explained and cut-off grade is based on selecting material for feeding the sorters which
would make a profit if milled after sorting. It should be noted that according to the sorting, even low-grade block do contain material
that is profitable to separate.
Please
also note section 11, specifically sections 11.7, 11.8 and 11.9.
A
detailed assessment of the cut-off grade is required, including estimates of assumed costs and commodity prices. The qualified person
must disclose the price and explain the reason for using the selected price, along with the timeframe. In the scenario that is presented
in the current revision, it does not appear that the $5.0 RCV cut-off will cover the estimated mining and processing costs of $7.57
as disclosed on page 162.
Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that this view fails to take into account the sorting that occurs. The $7.50 is the cost for
handling the material that goes through the mill after it is sorted. The mineral resource cut-off is the cut-off used to feed the
sorters and not the mill. The costs for this material are the mining, plus sorting costs which, according to table 18-5, the cost
is $3.49 /short ton of material. That it is a sunk cost. The material is then sorted with the mill feed being higher grade than the
original mineral resource cut-off.
420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 2446, New York, NY 10170 | 646-861-7891
12121 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 810, Los Angeles, CA 90025 | 818-930-5686
The
sorters in this version remove approximately 26% of the material as waste which is not sent to the mill. Therefore, the lower cut-off
is justified as the feed to the sorters. This is mentioned on page 4. Please note that the cut-off is based on the feed to sorters
not feed to the mill. Additional wording has been added for clarification.
The
resource table presented should include the point of reference, price, cut-off grade, and metallurgical recovery factory. We suggest
including this information in footnotes to the resource tables.
Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that the presented resource tables have all the information required immediately prior in the
sections, so the readers can fully understand what was used and how it was used (please see section 11. Mr. Dykes felt the information
would be too large to put into a footnote.
Please
note prices and recovery are all described, the resource tables have different cut-offs though one is highlighted, and the report
also describes how to calculate the RCV cut-off grade (please see section 11.9). the cut-off grade used is a recovered metal similar
but not quite the same as a full NSR.
An
economic analysis in the initial assessment is optional, in order to demonstrate economic potential. Inferred resources may be included
in the economic analysis provided the information required under item 1302(d)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K is also provided, in each
instance of the disclosure. The LOM annual project cash flow should be included for the non-inferred resources and all tables under
Item 19 should be adequately labeled and described.
Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that those details exist in the current report on pages 7, 9, 12, 112, 168 and 182. Please also
note tables 1-7b and 19-1b.
Additionally,
the paragraph numbering within the technical report summary should be corrected. For example, the paragraphs on page 80 of the technical
report summary are not sequentially labeled.

We
note that $395,735 of expenses were paid by parent company in 2023. If an equity contribution, tell us where such equity contribution
is located in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit and in the Non-cash financing activities of the Statement of
Cash Flows for 2023.
Response:
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the $395,735 represent expenses paid by the parent of International CuMo Mining Corporation
prior to the reverse recapitalization of Joway Health Industries. As a result of the reverse recapitalization, these contributions are
included in the $19,378,067 of additional paid-in capital which is reflective of the effect of the reverse recapitalization of Joway
Health Industries on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit.
4.
We
note Proceeds from a note payable of $361,000 in 2023. Given that the Balance Sheet does not present Notes Payable, revise the Statement
of Cash Flows to reflect the appropriate line item for such proceeds.
Response:
The proceeds were $361,000, which was recorded in non-current convertible notes payable, net of discounts ($325,000), and non-current
bond liabilities ($36,000) on the Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2023.
5.
We
note that Convertible notes payable increased by $405,570 between 2023 and 2024 per the Balance Sheet on page F-4. However, the Statements
of Cash Flows for 2024 shows proceeds of $202,200. Please clarify or revise.
Response:
As reflected within Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we issued $202,200 of additional notes payable. On issuance,
a discount was recognized attributable to the conversion feature and associated warrants in the amount of $103,846. The $98,354 is reflective
of the net increase in the account balance at initial recognition which is inclusive of the aforementioned discount. We did not investigate
the $1,000 or $1,887 as these amounts are trivial to the consolidated financial statements.

1 – Nature of Operations, page F-8
6.
We
note the audited June 30, 2022 and interim December 31, 2022 financial statements of ICUMO in the Form 8-K/A filed on February 14,
2023 and note that the pro forma financial statements applied purchase accounting, rather than the reverse merger accounting that
is described in Note 1. The reverse merger accounting is first described in the October 31, 2023 Form 10-Q filed on December 20,
2023. Additionally, we note that Convertible Notes and Bond Liabilities values in the April 30, 2023 Form 10-Q filed on June 14,
2023 differ significantly from the values in the December 31, 2022 financial statements of ICUMO. Please explain the differences
and how you applied reverse merger accounting.
Response:
We acknowledge that the proformas included in the Form 8-K/A filed on February 14, 2023, were incorrect as they applied purchase
accounting versus the correct reverse merger accounting. The Company has since filed seven reports (i.e., Forms 10-K and 10-Q) with audited
and reviewed financial statements, therefore the disclosures to the public have been extensive since the Form 8-K/A was filed on February
14, 2023. The Company believes that amending the Form 8-K/A would not be necessary as the proforma is outdated with all of the subsequent
filings as stated herein.
7.
Given
that the Company has no Unproven Mineral Rights Interests nor Long-lived Assets, please consider re-wording the policies associated
with these assets here and elsewhere to indicate these will be the policies when you have such assets
Response:
The Company intends to amend its form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2024 once it clears comments with the Commission
for its Registration Statement filed on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280762) such that the financial statement, footnotes and all disclosure
will align in accordance with the Comments of the Staff.
Note
3 – Reclamation Bonds and Provision, page F-10
8.
We
note your disclosure in Note 3 that you have recorded provisions for estimated reclamation costs and that such provisions are comprised
of deposits to the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Forest Service, the third-party provider of the surety, and other
agencies. Additionally, we note your accounting policy on page F11 for Reclamation Provision, which indicates that at January 31,
2024, there are no costs, as production has not yet commenced. Please reconcile these disclosures and tell us how much the provision
is and where such provision is located on the Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2024.
Response:
Note 3 is the disclosure of accounting policies. As such, in the amended Form 10-K to be filed after the Company has completed all
comments on the current Form S-1/A, it will delete the line stating that “…there are no costs, as production has not yet
commenced.” as the policy disclosure should not discuss actual amounts or related comments.

Please
clarify or revise to clearly describe the property noted as collateral in the table in Note
4 for each of your convertible notes. In this regard, we note no property asset in your balance
sheet.
Response:
This table was corrected in the Form S-1/A in accordance with the comments of the Staff. In the amended Form 10-K to be filed
after the Company has completed all comments on the current Form S-1/A, this table will be corrected in the Form 10-K as it was completed
in the Form S-1/A.

Please
provide detailed information as to the transaction resulting in the loss on extinguishment
of debt of $1,774,000 in 2023. Tell us the amount issued, conversion price, number of warrants
and exercise price of the convertible notes that were originally issued by ICUMO and how
the loss was determined due to the replacement notes and warrants. In this regard, we note
from the interim December 31, 2022 financial statements of ICUMO included in Form 8-K/A filed
on February 14, 2023 that ICUMO had convertible notes of $3,674,000. Additionally, we note
the disclosure on page 2 regarding the private placement by ICUMO of $898,000 of notes and
8,980,000 warrants and the subsequent exchange by the Company and the holders of the notes
and warrants and that the notes issued on January 23, 2023 listed in Note 4 total $898,000
and the warrants total 8,980,000
Response:
At the closing of the transaction between the ICUMO and the parent company, the parent company issued replacement convertible
notes payable and new warrants to the holders of ICUMO’s convertible notes payable. In accordance with ASC 405, management
determined that the transaction represented a debt extinguishment. Accordingly, we measured the fair value of the replacement notes
and new warrants issued and recognized a loss on extinguishment equal to the difference between the new notes and warrants and the
carrying value of the original notes.
Note
5 – Bond Liabilities, page F-13
11.
Please
revise to describe the nature of these bond liabilities and how they were originated. In
addition, disclose the key features of these liabilities including, if any, but not limited
to, payment installment, interest rate, payment and due dates, and the accounting for these
bond liabilities. See ASC 470-10-50.
As
required by Item 1302(a)(1) of Regulation S-K, your disclosure of mineral resources must be based on and accurately reflect information
and supporting documentation prepared by a qualified person. Therefore the consultants that prepared the mineral resource section
of the technical report summary should provide consent and be listed as qualified persons. In the alternative, the section should
be prepared by the sole qualified person that is currently referenced in the technical report summary.
Response:
The Company intends to amend its form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2024 once it clears comments with the Commission

Dear Andrew Brodkey:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing
the requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information
you provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our August 9, 2024 letter.
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 25
1.We note your response to prior comment 6. You state that you expect to incur
expenses offset by revenues during the next twelve months of operations. You also
state that the Company does not project revenue for the next few years. Please revise
the contradicting statements accordingly.
Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-1
2.Please provide updated interim financial statements for the six months ended and as of
July 31, 2024. Refer to Rule 8-08 of Regulation S-X.
October 17, 2024
Page 2
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-7
3.We note your response to prior comment 16. You indicate that the $395,735 was
treated as an equity contribution in 2023. Tell us where such equity contribution is
located in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Deficit for 2023 and in the Non-
cash financing activities of the Statement of Cash Flows for 2023.
4.We note your response to prior comment 17. Given your explanation, tell us why in
your Statement of Cash Flows the $325,000 is not presented on the line item Proceeds
from convertible notes payable and the $36,000 not presented on a line item Proceeds
from non-current bond liabilities, rather than on Proceeds from notes payable.
Additionally, in Note 5, Bond Liabilities, there does not appear to be any bond
liabilities issued in 2023. Please revise or clarify your response.
5.We note your response to prior comment 18. The Statement of Cash Flows shows
proceeds from convertible notes payable of $202,200 in 2024. However, your
response indicates that $98,354 relates to proceeds from convertible notes payable.
Additionally, it's unclear how the $1,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses
and $1,887 of accrued expenses - related party relate to convertible notes payable on
the Balance Sheet or Statement of Cash Flows. Please clarify or revise.
Note 4 - Convertible Notes, page F-12
6.The Company's response to prior comment 21 did not contain sufficient information.
Accordingly, we reissue the comment in its entirety. Please clarify or revise to clearly
describe the property noted as collateral in the table in Note 4 for each of your
convertible notes. In this regard, we note no property asset in your balance sheet.
7.The Company's response to prior comment number 22 did not contain sufficient
information. Please provide detailed information as to the transaction resulting in the
loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,774,000. In this regard, tell us the amount issued,
conversion price, number of warrants and exercise price of the convertible notes that
were originally issued by ICUMO and how the loss was determined due to the
replacement notes and warrants.
Note 7 - Stockholders' Equity, page F-13
8.We note your response to prior comment 25. We note that you updated the
compensation for 2023 detailed on page 43, which now totals $821,788 and is less
than Payroll and related expenses of $963,055 in the Statements of Operations on
page F-5. Additionally, some 2023 compensation was paid via stock compensation,
which would appear to lessen the amount deemed Payroll and related expenses. Please
clarify or revise.
Note 10 - Subsequent Events, page F-29
9.We note your response to prior comment 26 in which you indicate “the total on the
cover page should have been 249,730,673.” However, we note 251,372,937 shares on
page 5. Additionally, the percentage of beneficial ownership on page 45 is calculated
based upon 251,372,937 shares. Please clarify or revise accordingly.

10.We have reviewed your responses to the comments that were issued related to your
technical report summary and we have the following observations. Please address
each of these items in your response. If you do not concur with any of these
observations please explain in your response.
As required by Item 1302(a)(1) of Regulation S-K, your disclosure of mineral
resources must be based on and accurately reflect information and supporting
documentation prepared by a qualified person. Therefore the consultants that prepared
the mineral resource section of the technical report summary should provide consent
and be listed as qualified persons. In the alternative, the section should be prepared by
the sole qualified person that is currently referenced in the technical report summary.
In either case, the resource section should address each paragraph under Item
601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11) of Regulation S-K and all information should be current,
including mineral pricing and cost information. It appears that the information
prepared in this section is based on 2015 and 2012 cost and pricing information.
A detailed assessment of the cut-off grade is required, including estimates of assumed
costs and commodity prices. The qualified person must disclose the price and explain
the reason for using the selected price, along with the timeframe. In the scenario that
is presented in the current revision, it does not appear that the $5.0 RCV cut-off will
cover the estimated mining and processing costs of $7.57 as disclosed on page 162.
The resource table presented should include the point of reference, price, cut-off
grade, and metallurgical recovery factory. We suggest including this information in
footnotes to the resource tables.
An economic analysis in the initial assessment is optional, in order to demonstrate
economic potential. Inferred resources may be included in the economic analysis
provided the information required under item 1302(d)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K is also
provided, in each instance of the disclosure. The LOM annual project cash flow
should be included for the non-inferred resources and all tables under Item 19 should
be adequately labeled and described.
Additionally, the paragraph numbering within the technical report summary should be
corrected. For example, the paragraphs on page 80 of the technical report summary
are not sequentially labeled.
If you continue to disclose mineral resources please provide the information required
under Item 1304(d) of Regulation S-K in your registration statement and annual
filings, including the price, cut-off grade, metallurgical recovery factor, and the
specific point of reference.

net loss to net cash used in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The amount was treated as an equity contribution.

Staff Comment 1. As you disclose various restrictions relating to the conversion of currencies and distribution of dividends in China, please tell us what consideration you have given to including “parent only” financial information in accordance with Rule 5-04 of Regulation S-X.
Response: S-X, “restricted net assets” is defined as the “amount of the registrant’s proportionate share of net assets (after intercompany eliminations) reflected in the balance sheets of its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries as of the end of the most recent fiscal year which may not be transferred to the parent company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends by the subsidiaries without the consent of a third party (i.e., lender, regulatory agency, foreign government, etc.).” Where restrictions on the amount of funds which may be loaned or advanced differ from the amount restricted as to transfer in the form of cash dividends, the amount least restrictive to the subsidiary shall be used.

Page 2
We concluded that Rule 5-04 of Regulation S-X was required to be included in the Form 10-K based on the following considerations:
1.
Regulatory approval is required for a PRC company to make loans to offshore companies. The PRC lender is required to obtain a preapproval letter from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China (the “SAFE”) or its local counterparts and the outstanding balance of the offshore lending shall not exceed the lower of 30% of the PRC lender’s shareholders’ equity or the equity investment made by the overseas borrower in the PRC lender,
2.
Advances to offshore companies without regulatory approval are limited to operation-related transactions. However, if the advances to offshore companies or a PRC company’s overseas parent company are treated as transferring onshore assets to an offshore company, the transfer would be prohibited, and
3.
Paying dividends remains the most common way for the PRC subsidiaries to transfer assets to the offshore parent company under current PRC law. An approval from the SAFE or its local counterparts is not required for remittance of dividends to a PRC company’s offshore parent company. However, paying dividends in foreign currency to overseas parent company will require attaching the board resolutions approving such dividend payments and an audit report prepared by a qualified PRC accounting firm evidencing the company’s after-tax profits to a qualified PRC commercial bank for perfunctory review.

Controls and Procedures Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 32 Staff Comment 1. We note your response to our prior comments 5 and 6. It appears to us that those primarily responsible for the preparation of your books and records and financial statements (i.e., your Chief Financial Officer and Financial Manager), do not have the requisite U.S. GAAP experience to prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In this regard, we note that all of those listed above do not hold a license such as Certified Public Accountant in the U.S., have not attended U.S. institutions or extended educational programs that would provide enough of the relevant education relating to U.S. GAAP, and their U.S. GAAP work experience is limited. Further, your employees who have primary responsibilities of preparing and supervising the preparation of the financial statements under U.S. GAAP do not have extensive knowledge of and professional experience with U.S. GAAP. Tia Jenkins Assistant Chief Accountant United States Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance January 17, 2012 Page 2 Accordingly, we believe that your lack of U.S. GAAP experience constitutes a material weakness and thus your internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2010 would not be effective. Please revise your conclusion on internal controls over financial reporting and explain in detail in your amendment that you have an accounting department with limited knowledge of U.S. GAAP and disclose how you will remedy this material weakness in the future.

Staff Comment 2. We note your response to comment one of our letter dated August 3, 2011, and we reissue it. You disclose
that Mr. Liu formed Dynamic Elite on June 2, 2010 and Exhibit 10.19 indicates that Mr. Liu formed personally owned all of the shares of Dynamic Elite when it and Mr. Liu entered into the Entrust Agreement with Mr. Zhang. You
later disclose that Crystal Globe was formed to hold all of the outstanding shares of Dynamic Elite and that Mr. Zhang was appointed as the executive director of Crystal Globe. Please revise to clarify who owned Dynamic Elite when formed, when
Crystal Globe was founded and whether Mr. Liu owned 100% of the Crystal Globe from its inception through the report date of the current report filed on October 7, 2010. Also, please clarify how and when Crystal Globe acquired Dynamic Elite
from Mr. Liu and the date that Mr. Zhang was appointed executive director of Crystal Globe. On October 1, 2010, G2 Ventures, Inc. acquired Dynamic Elite by issuing 15,215,426 shares of common stock to Crystal Globe. Thus, Crystal

Elite” to Mr. Zhang on page three and effective control of Crystal Globe through his appointment as executive director. Please revise to clarify the references to “effective control” and whether it resulted in the same rights as
ownership and what business, operation and organizational powers are still retained by Mr. Liu. For example, please clarify whether Mr. Liu has the power to replace Mr. Zhang as the executive director of Crystal Globe and the effect
of such an act on Mr. Zhang’s ability to control Dynamic Elite via the Entrust Agreement. As previously requested, while you state the founders of the companies, you are not clearly stating whether the individuals who formed the companies
were also the controlling shareholders at that time and before the transactions described in this section. Lastly, as previously requested please clarify whether Mr. Zhang had any ownership, directly or indirectly, of Crystal Globe and Dynamic

three years. In addition, the Option Agreement also provides that Mr. Liu shall not dispose any of the shares of Crystal Globe without consent of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Song.
On October 1, 2010, G2 Ventures, Inc., Dynamic Elite and Crystal Globe, the sole shareholder of Dynamic Elite entered into and consummated a Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which Crystal Globe
assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered 10,000 shares of Dynamic Elite (representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares) to G2 Ventures in consideration for the issuance to Crystal Globe of 15,215,426 restricted shares of common stock
of G2 Ventures (the “Reverse Merger”). As of the date of the Reverse Merger and as of the date of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 7, 2010, Mr. Liu was the sole shareholder of Crystal Globe. Except as
set forth in the Call Option Agreement and the Entrust Agreement or as otherwise set forth above, Mr. Zhang had no ownership, directly or indirectly, in Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite before the Reverse Merger.

Dear Mr. Reynolds:
This letter responds to certain comments of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in the letter from the Staff to Joway Health
Industries Group Inc. (formerly G2 Ventures, Inc.) (the “Company”) dated April 13, 2011.
For your convenience,
we have included each of the Staff’s comments in italics before each of the Company’s responses. References in this letter to “we,” “our” or “us” mean the Company or its advisors, as the context may require.
Form 8-K/A Filed June 13, 2011
Corporate Structure and History, page 4
Staff Comment 1. We
reissue comment two of our letter dated April 13, 2011. Please revise to provide clear disclosure as the ownership of Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite. Clarify the entrust agreement and whether the entrust agreement provided Mr. Zhang
ownership of Dynamic Elite. In addition, as previously requested, while you state the founders of the companies you do not clearly state the controlling shareholder(s) before the transactions. Clarify whether Mr. Zhang had any ownership,
directly or indirectly, of Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite before the transactions.
Response: The Company’s 8-K/A filed
with the SEC on June 13, 2011 provides the following disclosures:
1.
Dynamic Elite was formed on June 2, 2010 by Mr. Lionel Evan Liu, a businessman and friend of Mr. Zhang Jinghe, our Chief Executive Officer.
2.
On June 2, 2010, Mr. Liu and Jinghe Zhang entered into an Entrust Agreement pursuant to which, Jinghe Zhang was given irrevocable authority to make all
business, operating and organizational decisions regarding Dynamic Elite.
John Reynolds
Assistant Director

Page 2
3.
On September 15, 2010, Mr. Liu caused Dynamic Elite to establish Tianjin Junhe Management Consulting Co., Ltd. (“Junhe Consulting”) as a
wholly-owned subsidiary and appointed Mr. Zhang Jinghe its Executive Director.
4.
Junhe Consulting was established as a wholly foreign owned entity (WOFE) under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China (“PRC”) for the purposes of
acquiring the Joway Group and engaging in the manufacture and distribution of tourmaline products in China.
5.
Mr. Liu formed Crystal Globe under the laws of the British Virgin Islands to hold all of the outstanding shares of Dynamic Elite and appointed Mr. Zhang to be
the executive director of Crystal Globe.
6.
As a result of the foregoing, Mr. Zhang effectively controlled Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite prior to the Reverse Merger.
7.
In connection with the Reverse Merger and as consideration for entering into the VIE Agreements, Mr. Zhang Jinghe and Mr. Baogang Song entered into a Call
Option Agreement with the sole shareholder of Crystal Globe, pursuant to which they have the right to purchase up to 99% and 1%, respectively, of the shares of Crystal Globe at an aggregate price equal of $20,000 over the next three years. As a
result, over the next three years Mr. Zhang and Mr. Song will become the indirect beneficial owners of 99% and 1%, respectively, of the shares of the Company held by Crystal Globe. As a result of the foregoing, Mr. Zhang effectively
controlled Crystal Globe and, through Crystal Globe, the entire Company after the Reverse Merger.
8.
Lionel Evan Liu is the sole shareholder of Crystal Globe Limited.
9.
Mr. Zhang is the executive director of Crystal Globe and as such has voting and dispositive control over the shares held by Crystal Globe. In addition,
Mr. Zhang has entered into a Call Option Agreement with Mr. Liu, the sole shareholder of Crystal Globe, pursuant to which Mr. Zhang has the right to purchase up to 99% of the shares of Crystal Globe (“the Option”);
thirty-four percent (34%) of the Option vests on April 2, 2011, and 33% of the Option vests on April 2, 2012 and April 2, 2013, respectively. As a result of the Option, Mr. Zhang will become the indirect beneficial owner of
99% of the shares of the Company held by Crystal Globe.
The Company respectfully believes that it has
adequately disclosed the ownership and control of both Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite both before and after the Reverse Merger.
Staff Comment 2. We reissue comment three of our letter dated April 13, 2011. Please revise to disclose the material terms
of the July 25, 2010 share acquisition agreements with Chen Jingyum and Wang Aiying to sell their shares to the Joway Group. In addition, please advise use whether Exhibits 10.21 and 10.23 are complete. We note that these agreements omit the
consideration to be paid.
Response: The Company states again that Exhibits 10.21 and 10.23 are complete. The Company
understands that the consideration paid for the shares is not set forth in the agreement, however, the amount of consideration was agreed upon orally between the parties. The Company has disclosed the consideration paid in the Report.
Description of Business, page 11
Staff Comment 3. We note your response to comment four of our letter dated April 13, 2011 regarding the scientific support
for your claims of the benefits of tourmaline. It appears the studies and articles cited references some possible benefits of tourmaline, but your statement still appear promotional in nature compared to the measured statements cited as support for
your claims. Please revise to remove the promotional language and provide a more balanced view of the benefits of tourmaline.

Response: The following six statements in the Report are the only statements which
discuss the possible health benefits of tourmaline.
1.
FIRs are invisible waves of energy capable of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body’s surface temperature and activate major
bodily functions. Negative ions are atoms that have a negative electric charge. It is believed that FIRs and negative ions gently heal, soothe, stimulate and detox the physical body, as well as the mind. (Source:
http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/tourmaline.html).
2.
Because it is a permanent source of FIRs and negative ions, tourmaline is believed to have the advantage of improving human body circulation, relieving stress,
increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function (Source: Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8).
3.
In view of its powerful health benefits, tourmaline has been used to manufacture a wide range of healthcare products, including apparel, bedding, water purifiers, sauna
rooms, and personal care products.
4.
We believe these tourmaline-treated daily healthcare products and personal care products produce FIRs and negative ions which stimulate blood circulation in capillary
vessels and deliver incredible benefits to users both physically and mentally.
5.
Our tourmaline water machines or water mugs purify, mineralize and activate the water in them because we infuse tourmaline particles into the filter of the water
machine or water mug. It is believed that the purified, mineralized and activated water will promote the drinker’s metabolism and prevent oxidation.
The Company will revise the foregoing statements as follows:
1.
FIRs are invisible waves of energy capable of penetrating deep into the human body. Negative ions are atoms that have a negative electric charge. FIRs and negative
ions are perceived to have certain health benefits. (Source: http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/tourmaline.html).
2.
Because it is a permanent source of FIRs and negative ions, tourmaline is perceived to have certain health benefits (Source: Niwa Institute for Immunology,
Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8).
3.
In view of its perceived health benefits, tourmaline has been used to manufacture a wide range of healthcare products, including apparel, bedding, water
purifiers, sauna rooms, and personal care products.
4.
We believe these tourmaline-treated daily healthcare products and personal care products produce FIRs and negative ions which have perceived health benefits.
5.
We infuse tourmaline particles into the filters of our tourmaline water machines and water mugs. Tourmaline is perceived to have certain health benefits.
In addition, the Company will add the following paragraph to the Section titled “Description of our Business —
Introduction to Tourmaline”:

While tourmaline has perceived health benefits, the actual benefits of tourmaline to human health are
unknown. The full efficacy of tourmaline to human health requires further significant clinical study. We are not aware of any formal clinical studies which have validated the health benefits of tourmaline.
Staff Comment 4. We reissue comment eight of our letter dated April 13, 2011. Please revise your Form 8-K to describe the
business of Shenyang Joway and its similarities and relationship with the Joway Group. Also discuss the circumstances and timing of why and when it ceased being an operating company. In 2008 and 2009, Shenyang Joway was one of your largest
suppliers, but it is unclear why and when it ceased operations and how that impacted your business.
Response: Shenyang
Joway Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (“Shenyang Joway”) was formed in 2005 in Shenyang, China by Mr. Jinghe Zhang and three other individuals. Mr. Zhang holds more than 50% of the equity in Shenyang Joway. Shenyang Joway was in
the business of marketing and distributing clothing and related products to other companies.
On May 17, 2007, Jinghe Zhang together with
Si Lijun and Song Baogang, who were unaffiliated with Shenyang Joway, founded Tianjin Joway Textile Co., Ltd. in Tianjin, China as a limited liability company under the laws of the PRC. On November 24, 2009, the company changed its name to
Tianjin Joway Shengshi Group Co., Ltd. (“Joway Group”). Mr. Jinghe Zhang is the Executive Director and General Manager of Joway Group. On July 1, 2010, Si Lijun transferred all of his equity interest in Joway Group to Jinghe
Zhang. As a result, Mr. Zhang now owns 99% of the equity interest in Joway Group and Song Baogang owns the remaining 1% of the equity interest of Joway Group. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Tianjin Junhe Management Consulting Co.,
Ltd. (“Junhe Consulting”), controls Joway Group through the VIE agreements.
In 2008 and 2009 Joway Group entered into a number of
sales contracts with Shengyang Joway, pursuant to which the Joway Group purchased inventory and equipment from Shengyang Joway.
In 2009
Mr. Zhang decided to shut down the operations of Shenyang Joway in order to focus his attention on the Joway Group’s business and on December 20, 2009, Joway Group entered into a final sales contract with Shengyang Joway pursuant to
which the Joway Group purchased inventory in the amount of $137,395 from Shengyang Joway.
In addition, from 2007 through 2009, Shenyang Joway
advanced the Joway Group an aggregate of $694,458. The advances were non-interest bearing and had no specified repayment terms. As of June 30, 2010, the total unpaid principal balance due Shenyang Joway for advances was $138,093. Shenyang Joway
also licensed the trademarks “Xi” and “Joway” to the Joway Group pursuant to a royalty-free license.
Shenyang Joway has
ceased operations, although it still exists as a legal entity, and the Joway Group was able to find new suppliers with no material adverse impact to the Company.
We will amend the Report to add the disclosure set forth above.

Staff Comment 9. Considering (i) your response to our prior comments 24-29 from our letter dated November 5, 2010 and (ii) your risk factor disclosure on page 33
which states that most of your accounting and finance staff are not educated and trained in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, please provide us with a detailed discussion of the factors you considered in assessing whether this pervasive
issue would result in a significant deficiency or material weakness and how this issue was overcome to support your conclusion that your internal controls over financial reporting were effective at December 31, 2010 .
Response: Although most of our accounting staff are not formally educated in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, both our Financial
Manager, who is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements, including the adjustments in order to convert the Company’s financial statements to U.S. GAAP and our Chief Financial Officer who is responsible for reviewing
the adjustments made by the Financial Manager to convert the financial statements to U.S. GAAP have had education and training in U.S. GAAP accounting as part of their university education and receive regular continuing education in U.S. GAAP
accounting and SEC reporting requirements. In addition, both our Financial Manager and our Chief Financial Officer were employed by Tiens Biotech, Inc., a U.S. publicly listed company.

Form 8-K Filed on October 7, 2010 File: 333-108715 Dear Mr. Reynolds: This letter responds to certain comments of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in the letter from the Staff to Joway Health Industries Group Inc. (formerly G2 Ventures, Inc.) (the “Company”) dated April 13, 2011. For your convenience, we have included each of the Staff’s comments in italics before each of the Company’s responses. References in this letter to “we,” “our” or “us” mean the Company or its advisors, as the context may require. Form 8-K filed with Correspondence on February 28, 2011 General Staff Comment 1. We reissue comment one of our letter dated January 28, 2011. Please provide an amended Form 8-K to address our comments and incorporate your previous responses you have made in a draft format. Also, please include the exhibits that you represent in your response letters that will be filed with an amended Form 8-K/A. Response: We have filed an amended Form 8-K/A (the “8-K/A”) and incorporated where applicable the information contained in the following responses to the Comments of the Staff. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, page 3 Staff Comment 2. We note your responses to comments three and five of our letter dated January 28, 2011 regarding the indirect ownership of Crystal Globe and partially reissue the comments. Please revise to provide clear disclosure as to the ownership of Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite. You state that Mr. Liu formed these companies but do not specifically clarify who was the controlling shareholder before and/or after the transactions. In this regard, we note that the disclosure provided in your supplemental response to comment 21 is clearer than the disclosure in the proposed changes to the Form 8-K. In addition, clarify whether Mr. Zhang had any ownership or control, directly or indirectly, of Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite before the transactions. Please revise this section and footnote four of your beneficial ownership table to clarify the individuals that have indirect ownership of Crystal Globe, John Reynolds Assistant Director United States Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance June 10, 2011 Page 2 and thus, control of your operating subsidiaries, as it appears that Mr. Zhang is the ultimate beneficial owner and control person and therefore the shares should be included in the table for Mr. Zhang or advise as to why you believe disclosure is not required. Response: We have revised the description under Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement of the 8-K/A to clarify the ownership of Crystal Globe and Dynamic Elite both before and after the Reverse Merger. We have also revised the table set forth under the section titled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” to describe the indirect ownership of Crystal Globe. Corporate Structure and History, page 4 Staff Comment 3. We note your response to comment six of our letter dated January 28, 2011. Please revise to disclose the material terms of the July 25, 2010 and July 28, 2010 share acquisition agreements with Chen Jingyum and Wang Aiying to sell their shares to the Joway Group. Response: The share transfer agreements entered into with Chen Jingyun and Wang Aiying are very short and simplistic documents. Our response letter dated February 28, 2011 contains an accurate description of all of the material terms contained in those agreements. In addition, we have included these agreements as exhibits to the 8-K/A. Description of Business, page 11 Staff Comment 4. We reissue comment eight of our letter dated January 28, 2011. We are unable to locate the supplemental table as stated in your response letter dated February 28, 2011. Response: We will submit the supplemental information by EDGAR as Exhibit A. Staff Comment 5.

We are unable to find the revisions you provided in response to comment 17 of our letter dated November 5, 2010 with regard to the material terms of your franchise agreement. The draft language you provided in your response letter dated December 23, 2010 is not in the business discussion.

Response: A description of the material terms of our standard franchise agreement is set forth on page 19 of the 8-K/A which is the same language set forth in our response letter dated December 23, 2010. In addition, we have filed a form of our franchise agreement as Exhibit No. 10.20 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2011 and have incorporated this exhibit by reference into the 8-K/A. Staff Comment 7.

Response: We have removed both statements from the disclosure in our 8-K/A. Staff Comment 8. We note your response to comment nine of our letter dated January 28, 2011, and we reissue it in part. Please revise to briefly describe the business of Shenyang Joway and its similarities and relationships with the Joway Group. Also, please advise us whether Shenyang Joway uses the Joway Group name as part of its business.

In addition, the Company has revised the Summary Compensation Table in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(n) of Regulation S-K.

Please file these documents, as we are unable to clear these comments unless we are able to review these exhibits. Please also note that we may have additional substantive comments regarding the disclosure in the Form 8-K once we review these exhibits. Response: We have filed the agreements and other documents referred to in our prior response as exhibits to the 8-K/A. Staff Comment 14. We note your response to comment 22 of our letter dated January 28, 2011 that the other exhibit 10.13, the agreements are complete. Please clarify whether these are forms of the agreement or whether these are the executed agreement. If these are the executed agreement, we note that exhibits 10.11, 10.12 and 10.13 are also missing the quantity and amount, and therefore the exhibits should be filed in their entirety. If these are forms of the agreement, please advise and explain why the executed agreements are not filed. Response: The agreements originally filed as Exhibits 10.11 and 10.12 are forms of agreements referred to as “framework contracts” under the applicable Chinese legal terminology. Framework contracts are John Reynolds Assistant Director United States Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance June 10, 2011 Page 5 agreements in which the parties set out the basic rights and obligations for a specific transaction, but leave out the variable terms, which are determined in supplemental documents once the actual transaction occurs. These specific agreements have been supplemented by various order lists. We have refiled these exhibits to include the order lists which supplement the original agreements. In addition, the agreement filed as Exhibit 10.13 is an executed contract with a cross reference to a price and quantity list. We have refiled this exhibit to include the price and quantity list. The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in its filings pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that such filings include the information the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all applicable Securities Act rules require.

its disclosure to describe all of the material terms of the VIE Agreements. See Exhibit A for the text of the revised disclosure.
Staff Comment 2. We note your disclosure on page six that you entered into the VIE arrangements because “it was not feasible
for us to acquire PRC companies for cash pursuant to PRC laws and regulations. . .” Please revise the appropriate places in the current report to clearly describe the regulatory regime that made it more feasible for the Company to use the VIE
arrangements instead of cash.
Response: The 8-K Amendment will enhance the Company’s disclosure to
describe the regulatory regime that made it more feasible for the Company to use the VIE arrangements. See Exhibit A for the text of the revised disclosure.
Staff Comment 3. The disclosure on page 5 indicates that the Consulting Services Agreement provides Junhe Consulting with the right to “advise, consult, manage and operate
Joway Group.” However, exhibit 10.2 states that Junhe Consulting will provide advice and assistance. Please reconcile the disclosure.
John Reynolds
Assistant Director

Response: The 8-K Amendment will reconcile the disclosure to the terms of
Exhibit 10.2. See our response to Staff Comment 1 above.
Staff Comment 4. Please provide a discussion of the
consideration provided to the shareholders of Joway Group for entering into the VIE agreements. In addition, we note that Zhang Jinghe signed these agreements for both parties to the transaction. Please disclose whether Joway Group and Junhe
Consulting were under common control at the time these agreements were entered into. Please also provide a more detailed discussion of the reasons for these agreements. We also note that Zhang Jinghe signed the Share Exchange Agreement on behalf of
G2 Ventures. Please explain his relationship with G2 Ventures and/or Crystal Globe at or prior to entering into these agreements.
Response: The 8-K Amendment will enhance the Company’s disclosure to include a discussion of the consideration provided to the shareholders of Joway Group and to clarify Zhang
Jinghe’s relationship with G2 Ventures and Crystal Globe at or prior to entering into these agreements. See Exhibit A for the text of the revised disclosure.
Staff Comment 5. Please disclose the material terms of the option agreement. We note that the purchase price of the equity interest is equal to the capital paid in by the
transferors. Please clarify the amount of capital paid by the shareholders of the Joway Group.
Response:
The 8-K Amendment will disclose the material terms of the option agreement. See our response to Staff Comment 1 above. The amount of paid-in capital of Joway Group is RMB 50 million (approximately USD $7.52 million). See Exhibit A

Response: We will file the agreements pursuant to which the Joway Group acquired the minority interests of Joway Decoration, Joway Technology, and Shengtang Trading. Jingyun Chen is General
Manager and Executive Director of Joway Technology and Joway Decoration. Aiying Wang currently is not in any significant role in the Company nor its subsidiaries, but a staff member of Shengtang Trading.
Staff Comment 9. Please provide the basis for your belief on page seven that the terms of the VIE Agreements are no less
favorable than what could be obtained from third parties or remove. It appears that these transactions were all related party transactions.
Response: As these transactions were related-party transactions, the Company will remove the statement that the terms of the VIE Agreements are no less favorable than what could be obtained
from third parties.
Staff Comment 10. We note the statement that PRC counsel believes that your conduct of business
through these agreements complies with existing PRC laws, rules and regulations. Please provide the consent of counsel for this statement. Also, clarify whether counsel provided you with an opinion. If so, please file as an exhibit.

counsel.

September 9, 2010 from the local PRC government regarding the foreign ownership of Junhe Consulting by Dynamic Elite. Please disclose the regulations under which such approval was obtained.

was granted, however, we believe such approval was granted pursuant to the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises (adopted April 12, 1986 at the 4th Sess. of the 6th National People’s Congress and as amended on October 31, 2000). We will cite this regulation in the 8-K

Response: The Company is in the process of constructing a new company website, and
we will provide that in SEC filings when it is completed.
Staff Comment 14. In addition, we note that one of your
principal suppliers has a website where it refers to itself as Joway Group. See, http://en.joway.cn/page/html/index.php. Please disclose all material connections between the two companies and discuss any confusion that may be created due to
both companies using the name “Joway Group.”
Response: This URL belongs to the Company and used
to be the Company’s website. However, it has been abandoned since the Company is currently constructing a new Company website. See Answer to Staff Comment 13 above.
Staff Comment 15. We note your disclosure on page 9 regarding the specific benefits of tourmaline and that tourmaline has “powerful health benefits.” Please revise to
provide the basis for these statements. For example, please indicate whether any scientific studies have been performed concerning the health benefits of tourmaline or would otherwise support these health claims. We note other claims made elsewhere
in this section. Please provide the basis for those statements. We may have further comment.
Response: See
our response to Staff Comment 12 above.
Staff Comment 16. We note the Percentage of Sales column for your “Top
Ten Customers in 2008” table on page 13. Some of the percentages do not appear to be accurate. Please revise accordingly.
Response: We have revised our disclosure in the 8-K amendment to correct this table. A copy of our revised disclosure is set forth in Exhibit B.
Staff Comment 17. We note the disclosure on page 16 that approximately 72% of sales were made through franchise stores. Please
disclose that material terms of the franchise arrangements and file that standard franchise agreement as an exhibit.
Response: We will file the standard franchise agreement as an exhibit to the 8-K Amendment. In addition, we will revise our
disclosure in the 8-K Amendment to disclose the material terms of our franchise agreements as follows:
The Company enters
into franchising agreements to develop retail outlets for the Company's products. The agreements provide that franchisees will sell Company products exclusively. In exchange the Company provides them with geographic exclusivity, discounted product,
training and support. The agreements also require franchisees to adhere to certain standards of product merchandising, promotion and presentment. The agreements also require franchisees to charge certain minimum sales prices, and prohibit them from
selling competitor’s products. The agreements do not require any initial franchise fees from the franchisees, nor do they require the franchisees to pay continuing royalties. The agreements do

not require the franchisees to purchase any minimum levels of product, but do require that they make at least one purchase during each year. The Company does not act to manage the
franchisees’ levels of product. Franchisees hold periodic conferences, assisted by the Company’s marketing department, to promote product awareness and the introduction of new products. The franchising agreements are generally for terms of
three years and are renewable at the mutual agreement of both parties. The franchising agreements are cancelable at the Company’s discretion if franchisees violate the terms of the agreements.
Staff Comment 18. We note your discussion regarding China’s “Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2006-2010)” concerning
China’s efforts to support the PRC healthcare industry. Please clarify the relevance of this disclosure, including whether any of these initiatives would involve the purchasing or subsidizing the use of tourmaline healthcare products. It is
unclear whether your products are used, endorsed, or supported by the traditional healthcare industry, such as hospitals, medical doctors, research centers, etc. If not, then please remove this disclosure or revise to provide a more focused
discussion of the industry relating to your health products.
Response: We will revise our disclosure in the
8-K Amendment to remove this discussion.
Staff Comment 19. Please clarify whether your marketing efforts, and those
of your franchisees, are directed directly towards the end user, or intermediaries like healthcare professionals like doctors, hospitals, or other healthcare facilities.
Response: We will revise our disclosure in the 8-K Amendment to clarify the focus of our marketing efforts as follows:
