 Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Buckingham Exploration Inc. (OTC BB: BUKX) (“Buckingham”) entered into an exploration agreement, effective July 27, 2007, with an option to purchase (the “Option Agreement”) with Edwin S. Broussard III and Alice M. Broussard (collectively the “Seller”) in relation to a property known as the High Park Trails Ranch in Teller County, Colorado (the “Property”). The Property adjoins Buckingham’s High Park Uranium project in Teller County, Colorado. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Buckingham must make an option payment of $100,000 to acquire the surface and mineral estates over 265 acres (paid on July 27, 2007), with a further payment of $2,900,000 at the end of a twelve month period to exercise the non-exclusive option to purchase the Property. During the option period Buckingham has full access to the property to conduct an exploration and drill program to ascertain whether it wishes to exercise its option.

Buckingham must also pay the Seller a production royalty of approximately 5% of the net returns generated by Buckingham from the exploration of the Property.

There was no material relationship between Buckingham or its affiliates and the Seller, other than in respect of the material definitive agreement entered into.

About the Property

The property is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Canon City, Colorado and is accessible by a well maintained county road. The Property covers a portion of Section 25 contiguous with claims already owned. Cyprus Mining Corporation previously drilled 339 holes on Section 25. Mineral trends are open ended and identified in at least five horizons within the project area related to braided stream deposits in the Tallahassee Creek conglomerate.
