Staff Comment No. 1.
   
 
We note you describe your company as either an exploration and development stage or a development stage company in these locations and elsewhere in your filing. Without a reserve, as defined by the Guide 7(a) (1), your company must be in the exploration stage, as defined by Guide 7(a) (4) (i). As such, SEC’s Industry Guide 7 specifically requires that your filing describe your business activities as exploration state/stage requires that your filing describe your business activities as exploration state/stage activities until your company has reserves as defined in the Industry Guide 7.
