Dear Gentlemen:

We have acted as securities counsel to Verve Ventures, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the
registration statement on Form S-1 ( the "Registration Statement") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), to register an aggregate of 5,550,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company registered on
behalf of the Selling Stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the
"Shares").

In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have reviewed the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, the Registration Statement, the exhibits to
the Registration Statement and such other records, documents, statutes and
decisions as we have deemed relevant in rendering this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
capacity of natural persons signing or delivering any instrument, the
authenticity of all documents admitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents submitted to us as certificated or photo copies, the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the date of
authorization and valid execution and delivery of all documents. As to any facts
material to this opinion, we have relied upon statements and representations of
officers and other representatives of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing and having regard for such legal considerations as we
deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly
authorized for issuance and are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States of
America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, including all
statues, including the rules and regulations underlying those provisions,
applicable judicial and regulatory determinations, and provisions of the Nevada
Constitution that affect the interpretation of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Nevada.

Verve Ventures, Inc. December 8, 2010 Page | 2 We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Experts" in the Registration Statement. In so doing, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
