Form 10-SB filed May 4, 2005 File no. 0-51302 Dear Mr. Stunder, We have reviewed your Form 10-SB and have the following comments of an accounting nature. The legal comments will follow shortly under separate cover. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. General 1. Please revise the currency amounts disclosed throughout the document to present such amounts in US dollars. Also, please clearly disclose the currency used. Off-Balance Sheet Disclosures 2. Item 303 (c) of Regulation S-B requires a description of off- balance sheet arrangements. Please revise to include this disclosure, if material. Financial Statements Balance Sheet and Statement of Stockholders` Equity 3. Please revise to re-classify the amounts related to the stock issuances for $(55,800) and $(58,598) from accumulated deficit during development stage to additional paid-in capital. 4. Since the company is in the exploration stage and has not determined the existence of a commercially minable deposit, as contemplated by Industry Guide 7, it does not appear appropriate to capitalize the $1,661 for mineral claims. Please revise accordingly. Note 3 - Mineral Claims Scout Lake 5. You state that the Company must spend certain amounts on exploration work within 15 and 24 months of "closing". Please revise to clarify whether "closing" refers to the date of the acquisition agreement, and provide the actual date. Herbert Anomaly 6. You state that the Company "optioned 20% interest in mineral claims". Please revise your disclosure to clarify the meaning of this phrase. Also, please revise to explain the nature of the $44,000 deposit and why it is being treated as a liability on the balance sheet. 7. Please revise to clarify if the Herbert Anomaly is the same property as the "Bulls Eye Target" as described on page 14. Note 4 - Related Party Transactions 8. Please revise to clarify if the $15,000 demand note is in Canadian or United States dollars. 9. Please revise to clarify the number of $15,000 notes that were issued by the officers of the Company.
