This letter outlines the basic terms of the proposed acquisition (the “Transaction”) by First Columbia Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”), or an affiliate of the Buyer, of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Minera San Ignacio SAS, a corporation incorporated under the General Corporate Law of Colombia  (the “Company”), from Sapo Holdings S.A. (the “Seller”).  The terms of the Transaction would be substantially as follows:

 
1.
Form of Transaction.  The Transaction would be accomplished by the purchase by the Buyer of all or part of the capital stock of the Company from the Seller.

 
2.

In exchange for all of the capital stock of the Company, Buyer shall pay Seller Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), issue to the Seller 1,000,000 common shares of the Buyer and issue to Seller an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Purchase Price”) payable with interest rate of 12% per annum with a maturity date one (1) year after closing.  The Buyer has the option of returning to the Seller all of the capital stock of the Company in exchange for the cancellation of the Note for a period of up to one (1) year after closing.  The Purchase Price would be payable on or before the Closing, described below.
