Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

In March 2004, Heartland Oil and Gas Corp. ("Heartland") decided to engage new auditors as its independent accountants to audit its financial statements. Heartland's Board of Directors approved the change of auditors to Staley, Okada & Partners, effective on March 15, 2004.

During Heartland's recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and any subsequent interim periods preceding the change in accountants, there were no disagreements with Spicer Jeffries LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The report on the financial statements prepared by Spicer, Jeffries LLP for either of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.

Heartland provided Spicer, Jeffries LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC, and requested that they furnish Heartland with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether they agree with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the aspects with which they do not agree. A copy of the letter provided by Spicer, Jeffries LLP, dated March 15, 2004, is attached to this Form 8-K as an exhibit.

Heartland has engaged the firm of Staley, Okada & Partners as of March 15, 2004. In connection with the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and any subsequent interim periods preceding the change in accountants, Staley, Okada & Partners was not consulted on any matter relating to accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements. In connection with the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and any subsequent interim periods preceding the change in accountants, Staley, Okada & Partners did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by it in reaching any decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.
