Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 28, 2011 the Companys subsidiary, Adit Resources Corp., sold 500,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit to Yamana Gold Inc. Each unit consisted of one share of Adits common stock and one half warrant. Each full warrant entitles Yamana to purchase one share of Adits common stock at a price of $1.50 per share at any time on or before January 28, 2014.
In connection with the sale of the units, Adit also signed a letter of intent that grants Yamana an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in Adits Picacho gold/silver project. A definitive agreement is expected to be completed within 45 days. Upon completion of the definitive agreement, Adit will sell an additional 2,500,000 units to Yamana at a price of $1.00 per unit. The units will be identical to the units sold on January 28, 2011. From the $3,000,000 received from Yamana, Adit will be required to spend $2,000,000 in exploration work on the Picacho project within 12 months of signing the definitive agreement.
Yamana can earn a 51% interest in the project by spending an additional $5,000,000 on the project within 30 months of the date of the definitive agreement and paying Adit an additional $1,000,000.
Yamana can increase its interest to 70% by spending an additional $9,000,000 on the project and paying Adit an additional $2,000,000.
The Picacho project area consists of 7,060 hectares and is located in Sonora, México, 100 km south of the U.S. border. The area has a high level of exploration activity, is close to a national paved highway, power grid, and a 1,200 meter airstrip.
The Company owns approximately 90% of Adit.
