NOTE 5 – ENTRY INTO PROPERTY OPTION AGREEMENT:

 

On March 12, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a property option agreement (“Agreement”) with Gunpoint Exploration Ltd. (“Gunpoint”), which closed on March 31, 2015.  Gunpoint granted us an exclusive and irrevocable option (“Option”) to purchase a 100% interest in Gunpoint’s Talapoosa project (the “Project”) in western Nevada.  Pursuant to the Agreement, we have the right to exercise the Option at any time beginning on March 31, 2015 and ending within thirty (30) months of March 12, 2015, unless sooner terminated (“Option Period”).   

 

As consideration for the Option, we agreed to issue two million (2,000,000) shares of common stock and pay $300,000 in cash.  A $100,000 cash payment was made on March 31, 2015.  The common stock was valued at fair value on the Effective Date and capitalized with the cash payment of $100,000 for a total of $1,300,000.  The remaining $200,000 cash payment is due the earlier of (a) two business days following the completion of a financing for at least $2 million in gross aggregate proceeds or (b) 180 days from March 31, 2015.  The common stock was issued on March 31, 2015 and is being held in escrow.  The shares are irrevocable and will be released to Gunpoint as follows:  25% on September 12, 2015; 25% on March 12, 2016; 25% on September 12, 2016; and 25% on March 12, 2017.  Gunpoint will receive the total of 2,000,000 shares even if the Company does not exercise the Option. 

 

At any time during the Option Period, we may purchase 100% of Talapoosa by providing written notification thereof and paying to Gunpoint $10 million in cash (the “Option Payment”) within ninety (90) days of the notification date.  Upon the date that Gunpoint receives the Option Payment (the “Closing Date”), we will have earned a 100% interest in the Project.

 

For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date (“Contingent Payment Period”), should the daily price of gold (as determined by the London PM Fix) be fixed at or above $1,600, on any single day during the Contingent Payment Period (the “Initial Threshold Event”) and at any time after the Initial Threshold Event during the Contingent Payment Period the daily price of gold (as determined by the London PM Fix) averages U.S.$1,600 per ounce or greater for a period of ninety (90) consecutive trading days (the “Trigger Event”), we shall be required to pay or cause to be paid to Gunpoint an additional payment of $10 million (the “Contingent Payment”) within ninety (90) days of the date that the Trigger Event is deemed to have occurred.  The Contingent Payment shall consist of $5 million in cash, and the remainder shall be paid either in cash or in shares of our common stock or a combination thereof at our sole discretion.

 

Following our exercise of the Option, effective as of the Closing Date, Gunpoint reserves a net smelter returns royalty in all minerals mined and removed from the Project, in the amount of one percent (1%).  We may purchase the royalty from Gunpoint at any time for a cash payment of $3 million.
