ITEM 1.   Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

The following sets forth the information required by Item 202 of Regulation S-K with respect to the securities of Magellan Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company").  

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share.

Common stock

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record.  Voting rights in the election of directors are not cumulative, and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of our common stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the directors.

The shares of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and are not subject to redemption or assessment.  Subject to the preferences, which may be granted to holders of preferred stock, each share of common stock is entitled to share ratably in distributions to shareholders and to receive ratably such dividends as we may declare.  Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to prior liquidation or other preference rights of holders of preferred stock, if any, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata those assets which are legally available for distribution to shareholders.  The issued and outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
