This information will be included under Item 4.02 of our amended Form 8-K/A which will be filed concurrent with this letter.

On behalf of Tara Minerals Corp., in connection with the Company’s response to the Staff’s comment letter, the Company hereby confirms:

· 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 Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

Sincerely,
