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.

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 agreement is:

All American’s Portion 70%   70%
Anniversary Date Payment Share Issuance Property Expenditure
August 4, 2010 Paid by TAC Paid by TAC Paid by TAC
August 4, 2011 $14,000 (paid) 9,804 $84,000 (paid)
August 4, 2012 $21,000 TBD $105,500
August 4, 2013 $21,000 TBD $140,000
August 4, 2014 $28,000 TBD $140,500
August 4, 2015 $35,000 TBD $175,000
August 4, 2016 $0 TBD $280,000
TOTALS $133,000   $995,000

 

 

Technically we are in default of the option agreement for not having issued shares to TAC and for not having paid the $105,500 property expenditure. However, TAC has not yet completed their share issuance to Minquest so we currently do not have a basis upon which to make our share issuance to TAC. Further, we are still awaiting a cash call and a formalized exploration program from TAC, Minquest and their engineers as to the planned exploration program for the current work season; we expect to be in a position to move forward in the spring of 2013 and will make whatever expenditures are required at that time. In the event that we elected to terminate the option agreement, no payment or share issues would be required to be made. Should TAC fail to issue the shares under its agreements with Minquest or fail to make its required property expenditures, All American would either have to negotiate with Minquest and form a new option agreement between Minquest and All American or terminate the option and lose our interest in the property or make some other mutually agreeable arrangement with the parties involved.

The schedule of payments, stock issuances & required property expenditures under the Goldfields West agreement is:

All American’s Portion 35% of TAC   35%
Anniversary Date Payment Share Issuance Property Expenditure
September 14, 2010 $200,000 (paid) nil nil
November 21, 2010 $100,000 (paid) nil nil
January 20, 2011 $7,000 (paid) * 9,651 $70,000 (paid)
January 20, 2012 $10,500 (paid) 41,677 $70,000 (paid)
January 20, 2013 $10,500 TBD $87,500
January 20, 2014 $14,000 TBD $105,000
January 20, 2015 $14,000 TBD $122,500
January 20, 2016 $17,500 TBD $140,000
January 20, 2017 $24,500 TBD $175,000
TOTALS $398,000   $770,000

  * included as a credit as part of the cost of the acquisition of the option agreement and paid by TAC Gold

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

At this time, neither TAC nor Minquest are in a position to present a geological exploration and drilling program for the current year and do not expect to be until sometime in the late Spring or early summer. Therefore, TAC has postponed the requirement of the Option Agreement that requires the property expenditure payment be made on January 20, 2013, until such time as they are prepared to made specific recommendations as to an exploration program for the current year. In the event that we elected to terminate the option agreement, no payment would be required to be made. Should TAC fail to make its required property expenditures, All American would either have to negotiate with Minquest and form a new option agreement between Minquest and All American or terminate the option and lose our interest in the property or make some other mutually agreeable arrangement with the parties involved. The share issuance to TAC under the option agreement was made subsequent to the end of the quarter. As of the date of this periodic report, we are otherwise in full compliance with the terms of the option agreement on the Goldfields West property and are current in all other payments, exploration expenditures or advances on planned exploration programs and share issuances to TAC under the option agreements.
