Re: Alttech Ventures Corp. Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Alttech Ventures Corp., a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the registration
statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the public offering (the "Offering")
of up to 1,616,203 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $0.001
par value (the "Common Stock"), to be sold by the selling stockholders. This
opinion is being furnished pursuant to Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-B under
the Act.
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed (a) the
Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto; (b) the Company's Articles of
Incorporation; (c) the Company's Bylaws; (d) certain records of the Company's
corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books; and (e) such statutes,
records and other documents as we have deemed relevant. In our examination, we
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, and conformity with the originals of all
documents submitted to us as copies thereof. In addition, we have made such
other examinations of law and fact as we have deemed relevant in order to form a
basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. Based upon the foregoing, we are
of the opinion that the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to all references to this Firm under the caption
"Interests of Named Experts and Counsel" in the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
OGDEN MURPHY WALLACE, P.L.L.C.
