EXPLANATORY NOTE
Based upon a limited review of our periodic reports by the Securities and Exchange Commission staff, on September 13, 2011 the Company received written staff comments regarding our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The staff comments requested revisions to the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included with the initial Form 10-K. To provide the requested audit report, the Company was required to reaudit the February 27, 1986 through December 31, 2008 cumulative period financial information. Accordingly, this amended annual report includes the revised audit report. In addition, the Company has revised the language in Item 9A to specifically state that our controls and procedures were ineffective for the period covered by the report. Other than these changes, this amended report does not include subsequent events.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bingham Canyon Corporation (A Development Stage Company)
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bingham Canyon Corporation (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception on February 27, 1986 through December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bingham Canyon Corporation (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from inception on February 27, 1986 through December 31, 2010 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has no operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Bingham Canyon Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Organization & Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Bingham Canyon Corporation (the Company) was incorporated February 27, 1986 as a Delaware corporation. On August 26, 1999, the Company changed its domicile to Nevada.
b.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
c.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of advances (accounts payable) because there is no established market for these loans and it is inappropriate to estimate future cash flows, which are largely dependent on the Company establishing or acquiring operations at some future point. No financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
e.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year financial statements.
NOTE 2 -
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets, has incurred losses since inception, has negative cash flows from operations, and has no revenue-generating activities. Its activities have been limited for the past several years and it is dependent upon financing to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is managements plan to acquire or merge with other operating companies.

Bingham Canyon Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 3 -
Income Taxes
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than- not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Deferred tax assets and the valuation account are as follows:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | ||
| 2010 |
| 2009 |
|
|
|
|
Net operating loss carryforward | $ 40,949 |
| $ 38,854 |
Valuation allowance | (40,949) |
| (38,854) |
Deferred tax asset: | $ 0 |
| $ 0 |
The change in the valuation allowance was $2,095 during the year ended December 31, 2010.
The components of income tax expense are as follows:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | |
| 2010 | 2009 |
Current Federal tax | $ - | $ - |
Current State tax | - | - |
Change in NOL benefit | 2,095 | 1,694 |

NOTE 3 -
Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10 to account for income taxes. The Company currently has no issues creating timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in future years. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, an evaluation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate. A provision for income taxes has not been made due to net operating loss carry-forwards of $120,441 and $114,278 as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which may be offset against future taxable income through 2029. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
|
|
|
| For the Years Ended December 31, | |
| 2010 | 2009 |
Beginning Balance | $ - | $ - |
Additions based on tax positions related to current year | - | - |
Additions for tax positions of prior years | - | - |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | - | - |
Reductions in benefit due to income tax expense | - | - |
Ending Balance | $ - | $ - |
The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
NOTE 4 - Accounts Payable and Advances
The Company had recorded $71,725 in liabilities for services received, as well as cash advances received from unrelated parties, as accounts payable as it was the intent of management and the counter parties to issue common stock of the Company at some future date for the amounts received. However, it was subsequently determined that it was not in the best interests of the parties to issue stock for the advances and, therefore, the parties have agreed that these liabilities will be treated as loans effective January 1, 2011, bearing interest at 8% and due on demand.

NOTE 7 - Subsequent Event
We have evaluated events occurring after the date of our accompanying balance sheets through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the events described below, we did not identify any material subsequent events requiring adjustment to our accompanying condensed financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company is treating $71,725 in advances and accounts payable as non-collateralized loans, bearing interest at 8% and due on demand.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to a control deficiency. During the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Due to the size and operations of the Company we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our principal executive officer is responsible to design or supervise a process that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies and procedures include
·
maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, management has relied on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), Internal Control - Integrated Framework, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon that framework, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective due to the lack of additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information.
Our management determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

RE:
Bingham Canyon Corporation
Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010
Filed March 16, 2011
File No. 000-31549
Dear Ms. Jenkins,
This letter is in response to your comment letter dated November 14, 2011 regarding the above identified Form 10-K of Bingham Canyon Corporation (the Company). The Company is filing via EDGAR this response letter and the amended Form 10-K as described below. We have restated your comments and each comment is followed by the Companys response.
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page 12
1. Please note that for development stage entities, auditor association with the cumulative data since inception is required in annual reports. Please advise your independent accountant to revise the scope and opinion paragraphs of their audit report and opine upon the cumulative period from inception (February 27, 1986) through December 31, 2010 in addition to the annual periods already included. Please amend your Form 10-K accordingly. In addition, please note that since your predecessor independent accountant, Chisholm, Bierwolf, Nilson & Morrill, LLC, is no longer registered with the PCAOB reliance on their work and making reference to their reports is not appropriate.
Response: The Amendment No. 1 to the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes the requested audit report issued by a PCAOB-registered auditing firm which opines upon the identified cumulative period. The only material change to the financial statements in the amended annual report is that Note 3 Income Taxes included in the notes to the financial statements has been expanded.
Page 1 of 2
Additionally, we have revised Item 9A of the annual report to clearly state that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by that report.
* * * * * *
In connection with our response to your comments, the Company acknowledges that:
*
The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
*
staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
*
the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
The Company hopes that this response to your comment letter and the amended annual report adequately addresses your concerns. If you have further questions or comments please contact the Companys counsel, Cindy Shy, at (435) 674-1282 or fax (435) 673-2127.
Sincerely,
/s/ Brett D. Mayer
