on Form S-3
Filed March 6, 2023
File No. 333-263883
On
behalf of our client, Dakota Gold Corp. (the “Company”), we hereby provide responses to comments received from the
staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by letter dated
March 17, 2023 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to the above-referenced Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form
S-1 on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”).
The
headings and paragraph numbers in this letter correspond to those contained in the Comment Letter and, to facilitate the Staff’s
review, we have reproduced the text of the Staff’s comments in bold and italics below.

Post-Effective Amendment No.1 to
Form S-1 on Form S-3 filed March 6, 2023
General
1. You
do not appear to be eligible to use Form S-3 for the proposed transaction. In this regard, we note that your
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was due on February 14, 2023 and
has not been filed to date. To be eligible to use Form S-3, registrants must timely file all required reports during the twelve
calendar months prior to the filing of the registration statement, subject to certain limited exceptions. See General Instruction
I.A.3(b) of Form S-3. Please advise us as to the reasons you believe that you are eligible to file on Form S-3, or re-file your
post-effective amendment to Form S-1 on the appropriate form.
We believe the Company
is eligible to use Form S-3 for the proposed transaction. On August 22, 2022, the board of directors of the Company approved a change
to the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. This was disclosed in Item 5.03 of the Company’s Form 8-K
filed with the Commission on August 25, 2022.
The Company expects
to file its transition report on Form 10-KT on or about March 22, 2023 for the transition period from March 31, 2022 to December 31,
2022.
Please

Re: Dakota Gold Corp.
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed March 28, 2022
File No. 333-263883
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Dakota Gold Corp.
(the “Company”), we submit this letter setting forth the response of the Company to the comment letter, dated April 18,
2022 (the “Comment Letter”), provided by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”)
with respect to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”). Concurrently
with the submission of this letter, the Company has filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement via EDGAR (the “Amendment”).
The Staff’s comment
in the Comment Letter is repeated below in bold and is followed by the Company’s response. The revisions included in the Amendment
include those made in response to such comment, as well as other updates, primarily to reflect the Company’s acquisition of Dakota
Territory Resource Corp. on March 31, 2022.
General
1. It appears that you are seeking to register the primary issuance of shares of common stock underlying
7,615,718 warrants issued to investors in a private placement in connection with your merger transaction with Dakota Territory Resource
Corp. Please provide your analysis as to why you believe you are eligible to register the primary issuance of the underlying common shares
to private placement purchasers as these shares appear to have been offered privately. For guidance, refer to Securities Act Sections
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations 239.15 and 103.04.
The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and that, as noted in the referenced guidance, a private offering cannot be converted into a registered public
offering. Specifically, the offer and sale of a warrant that is exercisable within one year of issuance is deemed to be an offering of
both the warrant and the underlying security; therefore, to register the issuance of the underlying security, both the warrant and
the underlying security must be registered at the time of the offer and sale of the warrant itself. However, the referenced guidance further
provides that if the warrant is not exercisable within one year, the underlying security need not be registered at the time of the offering
and sale of the warrant, provided that the issuance of the underlying security is registered no later than the date the warrant becomes
exercisable.
The Company respectfully notes that
the warrants referenced in the Staff’s comment (as further defined in the Amendment, the “Private Placement Warrants”)
are not exercisable within one year of issuance and will not be exercisable until the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. (The
Company separately notes that all of the Private Placement Warrants have been outstanding for longer than one year.) Pursuant to the Amendment,
the Company has revised the Registration Statement, as well as the form of warrant attached thereto, to clarify the exercise period of
the Private Placement Warrants.
Securities and Exchange Commission
May 6, 2022
Page 2
Based on the foregoing, the Company
believes that there was no offering of the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants at the time of the issuance
of the Private Placement Warrants. As a result, the Company may register the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Private
Placement Warrants on the Registration Statement.

or comments regarding the foregoing, please contact the undersigned, Richard Raymer of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, by telephone at

Draft Registration Statement on Form S-4 submitted October 25, 2021
Questions and Answers About the Dakota Special Meeting
Q: What constitutes a quorum at the special meeting?, page 4
1.Based on the disclosures in the beneficial ownership table at page 88 and elsewhere, it
appears that a quorum at the Dakota Special Meeting will be assured because of the
number of Dakota shares held by JR Resources. Please revise the proxy statement /
prospectus throughout to emphasize this point.
Conditions to the Completion of the Transactions, page 12
2.We note your disclosure that completion of the transactions is conditioned upon receipt by
Dakota of a written opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP to the effect
that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken
FirstName LastNameJonathan Awde
Comapany NameJR Resources Corp.
November 19, 2021 Page 2
FirstName LastNameJonathan Awde

Page 2
together, constitute a single integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization”
under Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Insofar as this appears to
be a waivable condition, please file an executed opinion of counsel before effectiveness
even though the merger agreement is conditioned upon the receipt of the favorable tax
opinion at closing, and undertake to recirculate and resolicit if the condition is waived and
the change in tax consequences would be material. See Section III.D.3 of Staff Legal
Bulletin 19 (October 14, 2011).
Vote Required for Approval, page 35
3.You state that approval of the Dakota Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Dakota common stock held by
stockholders other than JR, Jonathan Adwe, Robert Quartermain, Mac Jackson, and
William Gehlen. You also state that certain stockholders of Dakota, holding
approximately 7.43% of the issued and outstanding shares of Dakota common stock, have
entered into a support agreement pursuant to which they agree to vote in favor of the
transactions. Please revise to include the disclosure required by Item 3(h) of Part I.A. of
Form S-4 comparing the percentage of outstanding shares entitled to vote held by
directors, executive officers, and their affiliates, and the vote required for approval of the
proposed transaction. To provide appropriate context, please provide a revised discussion
of the "majority-of-the-minority" provision you reference to distinguish the separate
impact of the agreement with the holders of the 7.43% of shares.
Background of the Transactions, page 41
4.We note your disclosure that a special committee formed by the board of directors
of Dakota Territory Resource Corp. engaged Herrera Partners, an investment bank and
financial consultant, to conduct a fairness analysis in 2020 of the proposed transaction
with JR. We further note your disclosure that Herrera Partners delivered a presentation on
the fairness of the proposed transaction to the special committee, and that the committee
and the board resolved to accept Herrera Partners’ fairness analysis and opinion. Insofar
as the subject 2020 transaction and related fairness opinion are inextricably linked to the
currently contemplated transactions, please furnish in the amended proxy statement /
prospectus the same information as would be required by Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-
A, including the detailed summary Item 1015(b)(6) requires. Refer to Item 4(b) of Form
S-4.
Interests of JR's Directors and Officers in the Transactions
Employment of Executive Officers, page 49
5.We note your disclosure in this section that Jonathan Awde will serve as President and
Chief Executive Officer of Dakota Gold, Gerald Aberle will serve as Chief Operating
Officer of Dakota Gold, and Shawn Campbell will serve as Chief Financial Officer of
Dakota Gold. However, we note disclosure at page 84 that Messrs. Aberle and Campbell
are not currently directors or officers of JR. Please revise to identify clearly all material

potential conflicts of interest that pre-merger directors and executive officers of JR may
have in the transactions.

6.Please provide an introductory paragraph to the pro forma financial information pursuant
to Rule 11-02(a)(2) of Regulation S-X.
3. Description of Transaction, page 70
7.Disclose how you accounted for the issuance of shares and related transactions disclosed

Information About JR, page 73
9.Please revise to include the mineral property disclosure required under Item 1303, Item
1304, and Item 1305 of Regulation S-K for the mineral properties held by JR Resources.
See Item 14(b) of Form S-4 and the Corporation Finance Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations (C&DI) 155.03.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 76
10.Please provide a discussion and analysis of liquidity and capital resources for the year
ended March 31, 2021. In addition, revise to include robust discussions of your operating,
investing and financing cash flows for the periods presented. Refer to
Item 303 of Regulation S-K and SEC Release No. 33-8350 as it relates to liquidity and
capital resources.
Legal Matters, page 104
11.Although you indicate that the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to
the transactions for Dakota stockholders will be passed upon for Dakota by Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, the disclosure at page 51 under "U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences" does not make clear that it constitutes the opinion of Skadden, and
you do not list a tax opinion as an exhibit. Please file the appropriate short- or long-form
tax opinion as an exhibit and revise the corresponding disclosure accordingly.
12.In addition, you state at page 52 that "for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the First
Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, are intended to constitute a single
integrated transaction that qualifies as a 'reorganization' within the meaning of section
FirstName LastNameJonathan Awde
Comapany NameJR Resources Corp.
November 19, 2021 Page 4
FirstName LastNameJonathan Awde
JR Resources Corp.
November 19, 2021
Page 4
368(a) of the Code." You also state (underlining added) that Dakota's obligation "to
complete the mergers is conditioned upon the receipt of a tax opinion from Skadden to the
effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the mergers should constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code." Please ask counsel to
provide, or to explain why it cannot provide, a “will” opinion. In that case, ask counsel to
describe the degree of uncertainty in the opinion. Lastly, the company may state which
position it intends to take if challenged by the IRS. See Section III.C.4 of Staff Legal
Bulletin 19 (October 14, 2011).
13.You state at page 52 that your discussion "assumes that the mergers, taken together, will
constitute a single integrated transaction that qualifies as a 'reorganization' within the
meaning of section 368(a) of the Code." Please revise your disclosure to clarify what
constitutes the opinion of named counsel. Also, note that counsel cannot assume any legal
conclusion underlying the opinion. See Staff Legal Bulletin 19 at Section III.C.3.
Note 4 - Acquisition, page F-10
14.We note your disclosure that the acquisition of control of DTRC took place on
October 15, 2020. However, we note disclosures in Note 4, page F-50 indicate that the
final closing in March 12, 2021 resulted in a change in control to JR. In addition,
background of the transactions discussions on page 40 indicate that concurrent with final
change of control closing on March 12, 2021, JR appointed CEO and majority of
members of DTRC board. Hence, it appears change of control took place upon final
closing on March 12, 2021 rather than on October 15, 2020. Tell us how you determined
that acquisition of control of DTRC took place on October 15, 2020 and provide us the
specific accounting literature that supports the basis for your conclusion. Revise your
financial statements and disclosures as appropriate.
15.We note your disclosures regarding the acquisition of DTRC. Please address the following
issues:
•Please provide your analysis that supports your conclusion that the acquisition of
DTRC was an asset acquisition rather than a business combination. Refer to
guidance in ASC 805-10-25-1 and 55-3A to 55-9 and revise your disclosures as
appropriate;
•We note that in October 2020, you purchased 17,416,667 common shares of DTRC
for aggregate consideration of $10,450,000 and in March 2021, purchased 18,225,000
common shares of DTRC for an aggregate consideration of $10,935,000 for a total
consideration of $21,385,000. Explain to us how you determined the cost of
acquiring assets of DTRC of $24,856,871 and how it complies with ASC 805-50-30-
1 and 30-2;
•Please explain to us the basis for including the value of convertible promissory note
of $1,836,667 and value of purchase right of $12,339,161 in determining the cost of
FirstName LastNameJonathan Awde
Comapany NameJR Resources Corp.

acquiring the assets of DTRC, and how you considered the analogous guidance in
ASC 805-10-55-18. Please revise to describe how you derived these values and
disclose the relevant key assumptions;
•Please disclose how you allocated the cost in accordance with 805-50-30-3. Explain
how you determined the values of mineral properties; and
•Please disclose your accounting policy regarding measurement of non-controlling
interest and show us how you determined the non-controlling interest at acquisition
dates and subsequent reporting periods.
16.Based on your discussions on page 40-44, it appears that contemplating potential merger
transaction, you entered into a contract to acquire shares of DTRC at an agreed price of
$.60 per share. Tell us how you concluded that this contract between you and DTRC to
enter into a potential merger transaction is a derivative instrument under ASC 815 and
how you considered by analogy to the guidance in ASC 815-10-15-74(C). Show us how
your accounting is appropriate.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
