Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
We entered into a mining option agreement dated April 15, 2011 with First Majestic Silver Corp. (“First Majestic”) and Minera El Pilon S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of First Majestic, whereby we have been granted an option (the “Option”) to acquire up to a 90% interest in of certain mineral properties wholly owned by First Majestic located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico (the “Property”).
In consideration for the Option, we have agreed to:
| (a) | issue an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to First Majestic upon execution of the agreement; |
|
| (b) | incur an aggregate of $3,000,000 over the first three years to earn a 50% interest in the Property (the “First Option”); |
|
| (c) | upon the exercise of the First Option, we will have the sole and exclusive option (the “Second Option”) to acquire an additional 20% interest in and to the Property by incurring an additional $2,000,000 no later than the fifth anniversary of the Agreement; and |
|
| (d) |
upon the exercise of the Second Option, we will have the sole and exclusive option to acquire an additional 20% interest in and to the Property by completing a bankable feasibility study no later than the seventh anniversary of the Agreement. |
First Majestic will retain a 10% free carried interest and a 2.375% net smelter return.
We have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission qualifying the shares and to maintain the registration statement effective for a period of not less than two years. If a registration statement has not been filed and declared effective within twelve months from the date of the Agreement or if we fail to maintain the registration statement effective for a period of two years, we will issue First Majestic an additional 2,000,000 shares.
