ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS.

          On January 23, 2007, the Company received a letter from its auditors Staley, Okada & Partners advising that Staley, Okada & Partners had been acquired by PricewaterhouseCoopers and that they were resigning as the auditors of Touchstone Mining Limited effective immediately.

          Staley, Okada & Partners’ report on the financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with its audit for the most recent fiscal year, or the subsequent interim periods through January 23, 2007, there were no disagreements with Staley, Okada & Partners on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

          During the year ended September 30, 2006, through the date of resignation, and through the date of our acceptance of Staley, Okada & Partners resignation, there were no disagreements with Staley, Okada & Partners on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Staley, Okada & Partners, would have caused Staley, Okada & Partners to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such periods.

          On January 25, 2007, we delivered a copy of this report to Staley, Okada & Partners. Staley, Okada & Partners issued its response. The response stated that it agreed with the foregoing disclosure. A copy of their response is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

          On January 23, 2007, we engaged Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC an independent registered firm of Certified Public Accountants, as our independent accountants with the approval of our board of directors.
