For convenience of reference, each Staff comment contained in your letter is reprinted below in italics, numbered to correspond with the paragraph numbers assigned in your letter, and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this letter to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company on a consolidated basis.

1.  
We note your response to prior comment 1 and the additional disclosure you have provided.  Please further revise your disclosure as follows:

·  
Elaborate on the Biogenic Methane Production and Innovative Technology that Wytex has developed, with a discussion sufficient to give investors a basic understanding of what these technologies are and how they work;

·  
Include a statement that you currently have no other business relationship or other affiliation with Wytex Ventures, LLC, other than your agreement with Wytex that allows you to evaluate its Biogenic Methane Production technology and Innovative Technology.  We note that Note 4 of the notes to your financial statements indicates that you have entered into a consulting agreement with Wytex, dated June 4, 2010, to receive administrative and other miscellaneous services, which include well work over, well injection, injection of microbial nutrients and down hole services.  Please advise us whether the June 4, 2010 consulting agreement with Wytex is the same agreement that covers your right to evaluate Wytex’s technology for later license or purchase.  If it is the same agreement, please explain why the agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 does not reference this evaluation right or specifically provide for any of the services you list in Note 4.
 
 
 

 
 
 
  Company Response: We have amended our risk factor disclosure and business discussion to reflect the following: (1) Wytex’s technology imitates the natural process of biogenic methane production by introducing the necessary nutrients into the coal that create the proper environment for the in-place microbes to generate methane from the available carbon in the coal.  This is similar to pathways that occur in nature, that being responsible for much of the coalbed methane produced and extracted in the world today. Additionally, Wytex has developed patent pending methods for moving nutrient rich fluids through the host coal; and (2) The Company has no other business relationship with Wytex other than the relationship stemming from agreement in which the Company has the right to evaluate the Wytex technology.
     
    In Note 3of the notes to the financial statements for the period of June 10, 2010 (Inception) to July 31, 2010 there is mention of a June 4, 2010 agreement for administrative services. This reference refers to an agreement between the Company and Tryon Capital Ventures, LLC to provide consulting and administrative services to the Company.
 
2.  
We note your statement in your response letter that you are aware of two other companies that develop similar technologies as Wytex with respect to methane extraction using organic microbes.  Please disclose this in your registration statement and indicate whether such technology is available for sale or lease from these companies should you not agree to acquire Wytex’s technology.
 
 
  Company Response:
The Registration Statement has been revised to reflect that, to the Company’s knowledge, neither of the other companies with similar technology has plans to sell, lease or license their technology to others.

  Company Response:
We have revised this disclosure to include the material terms of the agreement with Wytex, as well as the parties’ understanding as to the mutual rights and obligations under the agreement.

4.  
Please advise us why you have entered into an agreement with Wytex that includes well work over, well injection, injection of microbial nutrients and down hole services, for which the company has already paid $500,000, yet the company has no operations.

The agreement with Wytex is to evaluate the technology. As such, the work comprising of well work over, well injection, injection of microbial nutrients and down hole services are performed by Wytex as it pertains to the evaluation of their technology.
 
5.  
In addition, please clarify in your disclosure that the agreement that you reference on page 16 of your Business section is the same consulting agreement that you have filed as Exhibit 10.3 to your registration statement.  If the agreements are different, please make this clear and provide the material terms of both agreements, including financial terms, and file as an exhibit to your registration statement the agreement with Wytex that governs your evaluation of Wytex’s technology.
 
 
 

 
 
  Company Response:
