Gentlemen,
Horwath Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn, P.C. has been unable to apply the proper
review procedures for Kalan Gold Corporation's September 30, 2000 10QSB prior
to the November 14, 2000 filing deadline. The firm was only recently
retained as Kalan's accountants and needs additional time to complete the
required review procedures.
Sincerely,
/s/ Horwath Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn, P.C.
