Throughout your filing and financial statements you refer to your company as “development stage.”  Please note that within the context of extractive industries, this term is defined by paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of SEC Industry Guide 7 and has specific meaning to investors.  Based on your disclosures of the description of your business, please modify your filing to refer to your company as “exploration stage” to avoid investor confusion.  Refer to paragraph F.10 of “Division of Corporation Finance:  Frequently Requested Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance (March 31, 2001).


Response:


We have modified our filing and financial statements to refer to our company as “exploration stage” and not “development stage” to avoid investor confusion.


Item 6 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


Critical Accounting Policies


Mineral Properties, page 14


3.

We note your accounting policy to expense mineral property acquisition costs as incurred.  Please refer to paragraph 9 of EITF 04-2 and modify your policy accordingly.


Response:


We have modified our accounting policy for mineral property costs in accordance with EIFT 04-2 as follows:


“The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.


Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased.  At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.


Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.





Mr. James Giugliano

United States Securities and Exchange Commission

Page 3



Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.


As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.


Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.”


We included an additional note under significant accounting polices for impairment of long lived assets as follows:


“Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate.”


We included an additional note for our change in accounting policy as follows:


“Effective 30 June 2007, the Company adopted, on a retroactive basis, the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) EITF 04-2 “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets”.  EITF 04-2 establishes mineral rights as tangible assets, whereby the aggregate carrying amount of such mineral rights should be reported as a separate component of property, plant, and equipment.  The retroactive impacts of adopting EITF 04-2 had no impact on net loss or earnings per share for the periods ended 30 June 2007 and 2006 and for the period from the date of inception on 21 January 2004 to 30 June 2007.”

You disclose that your President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures “…are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-KSB is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.”  Item 307 of Regulation S-B requires that you disclose your officer’s conclusions regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act.  The definition in Rule 13a-15(e) is more comprehensive than that included in your disclosure.   Specifically, disclosure controls and procedures also include, “…without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.”  Your officer’s conclusions do not state whether your disclosure controls and procedures are effective at accomplishing these items.  Please revise your officers’ conclusions to state whether your disclosure controls and procedures are effective at accomplishing all of the items included within the definition of disclosure controls and procedures as contained in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act.

We have revised our officers’ conclusion by adding the following to the end of the last sentence:

We note your disclosure within the third and fourth paragraphs of this subsection states your conclusions as to the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures.  Please note that disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), are different from internal controls over financial reporting, as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).  Please revise your disclosure to indicate your conclusion of the effectiveness of your internal controls over financial reporting.


Response:


We have revised our disclosure within the third and fourth paragraphs to indicate our conclusion of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as follows:


“Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Tim Coupland, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ann-Marie Cederholm, our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and preparation of our annual financial statements as of June 30, 2007 and believe they are effective.


Based upon the evaluation of our controls, Tim Coupland, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ann-Marie Cederholm, our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.”

We note your disclosure in the fourth paragraph of this subsection in which you concluded effectiveness “subject to the limitations noted above.”  Please revise your disclosure to state, in clear and unqualified language, whether you conclude your controls are or are not effective.  You must also disclose any material weaknesses identified.  You should also consider disclosing any other information that enhances the reader’s understanding of your internal control over financial reporting, including weaknesses identified and mitigating or compensating controls.


Response:


We have revised our disclosure to state, in clear and unqualified language that we conclude our controls are effective (see response to comment 6).  There were no material weaknesses that were identified therefore we did not expand our disclosure on identifying weaknesses and mitigating or compensation controls.
