NOTE 5 – OPTION ON MINERAL PROPERTY – UNPROVEN MINERAL INTERESTS

Mineral Property Interests – State of Nevada – U.S.A.

On August 23, 2010, we entered into three agreements with TAC Gold Inc., a Canadian reporting issuer, in regards to the acquisition of certain property interests. The interests that we have acquired are as follows:

  • An option to acquire a 70% interest in a mineral exploration property called the “Belleville” property in Mineral County, Nevada. TAC has an underlying option agreement with Minquest Inc. for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the property (under which agreement Minquest has retained a 3% net smelter return royalty);
  • An option to acquire a 35% interest in a mineral exploration property called the “Goldfield West” property in Esmeralda County, Nevada. TAC has an underlying option agreement with Minquest Inc. for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the property. Subsequent to the end of the current quarter the option was terminated by mutual agreement between TAC and the Company as the result of poor exploration results achieved to date; and
  • A right of first refusal on an additional exploration property called the “Iowa Canyon” property in Lander County, Nevada for period of 12 months; In September, 2011, we converted that right to an option to acquire a 15% interest in the property and then terminated the agreement on January 18, 2012 in order to focus on the Goldfield and Belleville prospects. TAC has an underlying option agreement with Minquest Inc. for the acquisition of a 100% interest in the property.

Pursuant to the terms of the above noted option agreements, in order to earn the 70% interest in the Belleville property we have assumed our 70% portion of the obligations of TAC Gold under their option agreements with Minquest which consist of:

  • Making payments in the aggregate amount of $170,000 in payments ranging from $20,000 to $50,000, to the sixth anniversary of the underlying option agreement; and
  • Incurring exploration expenditures in the aggregate amount of $1,320,000 in annual amounts ranging from $120,000 to $400,000, to the seventh anniversary of the underlying agreement.

In addition, TAC Gold is required to make certain share issuances to Minquest under the terms of their option agreements ( 700,000 shares in regards to the Belleville property, periodically over the terms of the agreements). We are obligated to reimburse TAC Gold in either cash for the fair market value of the TAC Gold shares that are issued to Minquest or in the issuance of the equivalent value of All American shares as have a market value equal to the amount of the payment then due. The common shares of TAC Gold are listed for trading on the Canadian National Stock Exchange.

The schedule of payments, stock issuances & required property expenditures under the Belleville agreements is:

All American’s Portion 70%   70%
Anniversary Date Payment Share Issuance Property Expenditure
August 4, 2010 Paid by TAC nil Paid by TAC
August 4, 2011 $14,000 (paid) 9,804 $84,000 (paid)

TOTALS $133,000   $995,000

 

 

As of the date of this periodic report, we are in full compliance with the terms of the option agreement on the Belleville property and are current in all payments, exploration expenditures or advances on planned exploration programs and share issuances to TAC under the option agreements.
