Item 8.01 Other Events On September 13, 2010, Tara Gold Resources Corp. announced that it had entered into a tentative agreement with Tara Minerals Corp. which provided Tara Minerals would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tara Gold by exchanging one share of Tara Mineral's common stock for two Tara Gold shares. Following Tara Gold's announcement, the law firm of Umeda Robbins used Tara Gold's public trading symbol to announce that it had commenced an investigation into the potential acquisition of Tara Gold by Tara Minerals in an effort to ensure fair value would be received by Tara Gold shareholders. On September 20, 2010 Chris Columbo filed a lawsuit in the District Court for Carson City Nevada, against Tara Gold, Tara Gold's officers and directors and Tara Minerals. The essence of the lawsuit was to obtain the fairest price for Tara Gold, whether from Tara Minerals or a third party. On October 25, 2010 the lawsuit against Tara Gold and other defendants was voluntarily dismissed. Following the dismissal of the lawsuit, the attorneys for Tara Gold contacted Mr. Columbo and learned that Mr. Columbo had not authorized the filing of the lawsuit against Tara Gold. Mr. Columbo supplied Tara Gold with an affidavit regarding his involvement with the lawsuit, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this report.
