Attn: Kim Do
RE: Request for Withdrawal
Dear Kim:
Canyon Resources Corporation hereby requests that the Form 8-A filed July 1,
1996 be withdrawn, as we did not have enough holders of the warrants to list
them on the American Stock Exchange. A substitute Form 8-A was subsequently
filed on August 6, 1996, in lieu of the July 1 filing, and declared effective
on August 15, 1996.
If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.
Sincerely,
/s/George S. Young
George S. Young
Vice President-Law and Corporate Secretary
