SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


In the Matter of Friendly Energy Exploration, Public Media Works, 
Inc., VRDT Corp., and Zoro Mining Corp., File No. 500-1; Order of 
Suspension of Trading

November 5, 2015.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
Friendly Energy Exploration (CIK No. 1120434), a revoked Nevada 
corporation with its principal place of business listed as Carson City, 
Nevada, with stock quoted on OTC Link (previously, ``Pink Sheets'') 
operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (``OTC Link'') under the ticker 
symbol FEGR, because it has not filed any periodic reports since the 
period ended December 31, 2012. On December 16, 2014, the Division of 
Corporation Finance sent Friendly Energy Exploration a delinquency 
letter requesting compliance with their periodic filing obligations, 
but the letter was returned because of Friendly Energy Exploration's 
failure to maintain a valid address on file with the Commission, as 
required by Commission rules (Rule 301 of Regulation S-T, 17 CFR 
232.301 and Section 5.4 of EDGAR Filer Manual).
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
Public Media Works, Inc. (CIK No. 1108730), a void Delaware corporation 
with its principal place of business listed as Los Angeles, California, 
with stock quoted on OTC Link under the ticker symbol PUBQQ, because it 
has not filed any periodic reports since the period ended November 30, 
2012. On November 12, 2014, Public Media Works received a delinquency 
letter sent by the Division of Corporation Finance requesting 
compliance with their periodic filing obligations.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
VRDT Corp. (CIK No. 1399480), a void Delaware corporation with its 
principal place of business listed as Rancho Cucamonga, California, 
with stock quoted on OTC Link under the ticker symbol VRDT, because it 
has not filed any periodic reports since the period ended December 31, 
2012. On November 10, 2014, VRDT received a delinquency letter sent by 
the Division of Corporation Finance requesting compliance with their 
periodic filing obligations.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
Zoro Mining Corp. (CIK No. 1329484), a revoked Nevada corporation with 
its principal place of business listed as Tucson, Arizona, with stock 
quoted on OTC Link under the ticker symbol ZORM, because it has not 
filed any periodic reports since the period ended January 31, 2013. On 
November 7, 2014, the Division of Corporate Finance sent Zoro Mining a 
delinquency letter requesting compliance with their periodic filing 
obligations, but the letter was returned because of Zoro Mining's 
failure to maintain a valid address on file with the Commission, as 
required by Commission rules (Rule 301 of Regulation S-T, 17 CFR 
232.301 and Section 5.4 of EDGAR Filer Manual).
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of

[[Page 69259]]

investors require a suspension of trading in the securities of the 
above-listed companies.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the 
above-listed companies is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST 
on November 5, 2015, through 11:59 p.m. EST on November 18, 2015.

    By the Commission.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
