SCHEDULE 13G/A

The undersigned hereby amends the Schedule 13G Statement, dated January 10, 2008 (“Schedule 13G”), filed by Merriman Curhan Ford & Co. (the “Reporting Person”) relating to the common stock shares (the “Shares”) of Goldspring, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Reporting Person became aware that the previous filing was incorrect regarding the number of Shares it beneficially owned, which included the Shares underlying a convertible promissory note held by the Reporting Person. Based on the Reporting Person’s prior conversions and the note’s ambiguity, the number of Shares convertible under the note was calculated for Schedule 13G using a conversion ratio that was correctly applied to the previous partial conversions.

It was learned that the previously applied conversion ratio was correct only when the Share price was less than the par value, below which an issuer cannot issue shares. The Share price had been below par value in all previous conversions. Once the Share price rose above the par value, the conversion ratio was reduced, and consequently the number of shares beneficially owned as reported in Schedule 13G became overstated.

As a result of this new information, the Reporting Person is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13G with correct information as of June 24, 2008.
