Financial Statements of Donlin Gold LLC
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page A-1

1.     We understand that you have included the financial statements of Donlin
Gold LLC to
       comply with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, and while it appears that the
auditors may

arrange to
       obtain and file an amendment that includes these financial statements
and an opinion
       that covers all three fiscal years to comply with the aforementioned
requirement.


        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence
of action by the staff.
