File Nos. 2-82590 and 811-03694

To the Securities and Exchange Commission:

On behalf of Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund (the “Fund”) and pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), we hereby request that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) consent to the withdrawal of the filing made pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act filed with the Commission on October 27, 2010 (accession number 0000728889-10-001596) (the “October 27th Filing”). No securities were sold in connection with the filing, which was a "non-filing" submission made solely to obtain a class identifier.

Post-effective Amendment No.49 under the Securities Act and Amendment No. 47 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to the Fund’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A was filed with the Commission on October 28, 2010 and granted effectiveness by the SEC staff the next day. Therefore, the Fund requests the Commission's consent to withdraw the October 27th Filing pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act.

Please direct any questions you may have regarding this request or the filing to the undersigned at 212-323-0310. Thank you for your assistance.
