[File No. 500-1]


In the Matter of Placer Gold Corp. f\k\a Arctic Oil and Gas 
Corp.; Order of Suspension of Trading

December 17, 2009.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
Placer Gold Corporation (f\k\a Arctic Oil and Gas Corp.) because 
questions have arisen regarding the accuracy of assertions in press 
releases, company Web sites and periodic reports filed with the 
Commission concerning, among other things, the company's financial 
condition.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the 
securities of the above-listed company.
    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 company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST, on 
December 17, 2009 through 11:59 p.m. EST, on December 31, 2009.

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