Summary of Significant Accounting Policies page F-7

3. We note that your accounting policy on exploration and development costs states that "exploration costs arc charged to operations as incurred" as you have not yet commenced principal mining operations. However, you also disclose that you have incurred $41,600 of exploration and development costs as of January 31, 2009 at pages F-7 and F-9 under this heading. As this amount appears to correspond with the carrying value of your mining claim option, rather than exploration and development costs, please revise your disclosures to specify the amounts expensed as exploration and development costs and the amounts capitalized as acquisition costs for the mining claim options.

The disclosure has been revised to accurately specify the amounts expensed as exploration and development costs and the amounts capitalized as acquisition costs for the mining claim options and now reads as follows:

When it has been established that a mineral deposit is commercially mineable and a decision has been made to formulate a mining plan (which occurs upon completion of a positive economic analysis of the mineral deposit), the costs subsequently incurred to develop the mine on the property prior to the start of the mining operations are capitalized. Capitalized amounts may be written down if future undiscounted cash flows, including potential sales proceeds, related to mineral property are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the property. At January 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no exploration and development costs, however, the Company did capitalize mining option costs as disclosed in Resource Property below. (See page F-7)

Capitalized amounts may be written down if future cash flows, including potential sales proceeds, related to the property are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the property. Management of the Company reviews the carrying value of each resource property interest periodically, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Reductions in the carrying value of each property would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of the investment exceeds the estimated future net cash flows. At January 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company capitalized $41,600 and $0 of mining claim option costs, respectively. (See page F-9)
