| Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation |
| Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
Effective December 30, 2010, the Registrant entered into a Convertible Promissory Note Agreement ("the Note") with Tangiers Investors LP, ("Tangiers") pursuant to which the Company received $50,000 as a loan from Tangiers. As the Note specifies, loan proceeds will only be used towards expenses related to the Ruby Mine Project. Specifically, we intend to use the proceeds to meet contractual obligations regarding monthly option payments, and expenses related to the maintenance and renewal of permits.
The Note is convertible into common stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before maturity at the option of the holder at the greater of (a) $0.005 or (b) seventy percent (70%) of the lowest traded price of common stock out of the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Note has a term of nine months and accrues interest at a rate equal to 9.9% per year. As further consideration, Tangiers shall be entitled to 500,000 5 year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock exercisable immediately upon issuance at $0.05 per share.
The Note and the warrant issuances referred to above (and the shares of common stock underlying them) are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The above described executed Convertible Promissory Note is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1.
