Item 2. Properties, page 28
1. We note your response to comment 1. Based on your response our
understanding is
that you consider several factors at your clay operations with respect
to the economic
viability of your mineral reserves, including the amount of clay at the
mine
location; projected costs related to operating the mine; demand for the
type or types
of product the clay meets the specifications for; other geographic
factors such as
proximity to permanent structures or bodies of water; and environment
factors and
regulations.
In order to meet the requirement of Item 1302(e)(4) of Regulation S-K, a
price for
each commodity must be used that provides a reasonable basis for
establishing that
the project is economically viable. This requirement can be satisfied by
quantifying

the projected cost, or range of projected costs, that covers mining,
hauling, processing,
and packaging.
Please further expand subsequent disclosures to quantity projected cost,
or range of
projected costs, in order to satisfy the price requirement under Item
1303(b)(3) of
Regulation S-K.
Please contact Charles Eastman at 202-551-3794 or Andrew Blume at

related matters.
