Item 1.01. Entry in a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 23, 2010, American Oil & Gas Inc. (the “Company”) and North Finn, LLC (“North Finn”) entered into a Letter of Intent (the “Letter”) with Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C. (“Chesapeake”) whereby Chesapeake agreed to pay up to $49,437,666 to the Company and North Finn (collectively, “Sellers”), for all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in oil and gas leaseholds in certain lands located in Converse, Niobrara and Campbell Counties, Wyoming, including certain wells and including all real and personal properties and/or contractual rights directly related to the wells, thereto. The Company expects to receive approximately $44,000,000 from the sale of those properties.

Chesapeake will have until March 31, 2010 in order to conduct due diligence on these leases and wells. Adjustments to the purchase price for title defects relating to the wells will be made in accordance with the allocated value of $2,270,291. The purchase price is also subject to adjustment upward or downward for each net acre either above or below the net acre minimum set forth in the Letter. Adjustments to the purchase price for environmental defects will be based on: (i) the cost to cure the defect if the amount is liquidated; and (ii) Chesapeake’s economic detriment if a defect is not liquidated but can be estimated with reasonable certainty.

Chesapeake and Sellers have agreed to negotiate in good faith the terms and provisions of a purchase and sale agreement incorporating the terms of the Letter contained therein. Closing shall be on or before March 31, 2010.
