If the required financial statements are as of date 135 days or more prior to the filing of your next amendment, the financial statements should be updated to include annual financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Upon filing of your financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, you will only be required to provide the annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and for the fiscal period from February 23, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 2005 (item b above). Our last filing contained audited financial statements for the period from our inception to March 31, 2005 (including the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of cash flows, statement of stockholders' equity and notes to the financial statements for the periods mentioned in your comment) and for the interim period ended December 31, 2005 (including the balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of cash flows, statement of stockholders' equity and notes to the financial statements for the periods mentioned in your comment). The periods provided comply with the requirements of Rule 10-01(c) of Regulation S-X, as well as the annual and interim financial statement requirements of Item 310 of Regulation S-B. The June financial statements noted in your comment were unaudited and were replaced by the interim financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with Item 310. 4. The audited financial statements as of March 31, 2005 included in this filing do not appear to incorporate any of our prior comments. Therefore, we reissue comments 25 and 26 from our comment letter dated September 8, 2005. Further, we reissue comments 10, 11, 12 and 15 from our comment letter dated November 4, 2005. Finally, we reissue comments 8, 9 and 10 from our comment letter dated January 20, 2006. Please perform a thorough review of all financial statements included in your next amendment to ensure that you have appropriately disclosed your accounting policy for mineral property costs. Please also ensure that all financial statements presented reflect the proper accounting for the mineral property costs in accordance with your accounting policy. The financial statements have been revised to incorporate your prior comments 25 and 26 from the comment letter dated September 8, 2005; 10, 11, 12 and 15 from your comment letter November 4, 2005; and 8, 9, and 10 from your comment letter dated January 20, 2006. The financial statements have been presented to reflect the accounting policy for mineral property costs. Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 5. Please refer to prior comment 4. The audit report has not been modified as requested. Please have your auditor revise the auditor report to specifically identify each period for which audited financial statements are presented. In this regard, please refer to out comment above which specifically identifies the audited financial statements that are required to be included in the filing. The audit report has been modified to identify each period for which audited financial statements are presented. 6. Please also update the consent of independent registered public accounting firm to identify each set of audited financial statements. Further, the language in the current consent implies that the financial statements for the period from February 23, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 have been audited. However, based on your audited report, it does not appear that the results for this period have been audited. Further, there is no requirement at this time that the cumulative results from February 23, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005 be audited. As such, please revise the language in the consent. The auditors consent has been revised to identify each set of audited financial statements. The language has been modified to identify the audited balance sheet at March 31, 2005 and the statement of operations and deficit, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from inception on February 23, 2005 to March 31, 2005. Note 3. Mineral Property 7. We note your response to prior comment 7 and 10. In light of the fact that the agreement was not executed until April 5, 2005, it does not appear that you obtained legal rights to the mineral property rights until that date. As such, you should revise your financial statements to reflect the acquisition of the mineral property rights as having occurred on April 5, 2005 rather than March 31, 2005. In this regard, the $2,500 payment on March 29, 2005 should be recorded as a prepayment or other asset as of March 31, 2005 and the financial statements should be restated to reduce the net loss for the period from $(3,320) to $(820). Please revise or advise. Upon formal execution of the agreement on April 5, 2005 which therefore establishes a legal obligation for you to pay, the $2,500 prepaid asset recorded on March 31, 2005 should be reclassified into the mineral property rights asset account and a separate entry to record the remaining $17,500 asset and a corresponding liability should be recorded. As requested, the $2,500 payment on March 29, 2005 has been reclassified as a prepaid expense. Statement of Cash Flows for period ended December 31, 2005 8. The amount recorded for cash used in operating activities should be in brackets. Please revise. We have placed the noted figure in brackets. Yours truly, /s/ Steven Cozine Zandaria Ventures Inc.
