ITEM 4. CHANGES IN THE REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On July 14, 2000, the Board of Directors of Hanover Gold Company, Inc.
(the "Company" or the "Registrant") engaged DeCoria, Maichel, & Teague P.S. to
serve as the Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2000. Concurrently, the Board of Directors dismissed Williams
and Webster, P.S., the Company's previous independent accountants. The
engagement of DeCoria, Maichel, & Teague P.S. and the dismissal of Williams
and Webster, P.S. was pursuant to a resolution approved and passed by the
Company's Board of Directors.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
subsequent interim period proceeding the dismissal, (i) there were no
disagreements with Williams and Webster, P.S. or BDO Seideman LLP, the
Registrant's independent accountants prior to Williams and Webster, P.S., on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not
resolved to its satisfaction would have caused it to make reference in
connection with its report to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii)
Williams and Webster, P.S. and BDO Seideman LLP have not advised the Company
of any reportable events as defined in paragraph (A) through (D) of Regulation
S-K Item 304 (a) (1) (v).
The accountants' report of Williams and Webster, P.S. and BDO Seideman
LLP, as of and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinions, but were
qualified as to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.
