Selected Financial Data, page 4

1. We have read your response to prior comment 2 regarding the presentation of your selected financial data for years prior to the spin-off of Western Copper on May 3, 2006. However, we note that in your previous filings on Form 20-F, including your registration statement, you included that information in your historical financial reporting and selected financial data for periods prior to the spin off, identifying this information as the “Western Copper Business”. We understand that the financial information for these periods included direct exploration expenses incurred on the Carmacks property and an allocation of Western Silver’s general and administrative expenses. Therefore, this information should continue to be included in your selected financial data as necessary to comply with the five year disclosure requirements in Item 3A. Please comply with these requirements when filing your Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Response to Comment No. 1:
