   1.                                                   We note your response
to prior comment 1 and reissue it in part. Please expand your
                                                        disclosure to discuss
whether, to date, you have experienced any of the indirect
                                                        consequences of
climate-related regulation or business trends noted in our prior comment.
                                                        In addition, describe
the internal analyses you utilized to determine that any decreased
                                                        demand for goods or
services that produce greenhouse gas emissions or are related to
                                                        carbon-based energy
sources would not have a material adverse effect on your operations
                                                        or results of
operations, and provide support for your determination of materiality. Explain
                                                        how this internal
analysis also supports your belief that an increase in demand for goods
                                                        that result in lower
emissions than competing products from precious metal mining
                                                        companies could lead to
an increase in demand for your products. Please also discuss the
                                                        potential downsides you
reference that may result from increased competition to develop

for stating that
         such downsides would likely have a marginal effect.
