Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 26, 2011, our Board of Directors approved amendments to our employment agreements with Edward P. Mooney, our President, a director and principal shareholder of our company, and Daniel F.

Effective January 2011, we entered into a consulting agreement for services to be provided by Graham Chapman, our Chief Operating Officer.  Mr. Chapman provides consulting services to us and our operating subsidiary, and is compensated as our Chief Operating Officer, under the terms of a Consultancy Agreement dated January 1, 2011.  The agreement is with Badger Resources Limited, an entity for which Mr. Chapman is managing director, and it is valid until terminated by one of the parties upon three months’ notice.   We pay a month fee of $15,000 for the consulting services.  Mr. Chapman is required to provide a minimum of 15 days per month in performing the consulting services.  The services provided by Mr. Chapman include review of mine plans and related documentation, review of geologic studies related to our concessions, advising us on potential strategic partners, including mine operators, and potential customers for our future products, and development and implementation of our exploration programs.  A copy of the Consultancy Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.5.

Effective January 26, 2011, we granted 858,334 options each to officers, directors and consultants of our company.  The options were granted under our 2010 Equity Compensation Plan.  The options were granted without registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.  Each optionee was an accredited investor at the time of the grant.  Each optionee acknowledged appropriate investment representations with respect to the grants and consented to the imposition of restrictive legends upon the certificates representing the options.  Each grantee had a preexisting relationship with persons representing our company at the time of the transaction.  Each grantee was afforded the opportunity to ask questions of our management and to receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the option grants.  No selling commissions were paid in connection with these option grants.
