Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
On February 13, 2012 and February 14, 2012, American Strategic Minerals Corporation (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements with certain investors whereby it sold an aggregate of 860,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.50 per share with gross proceeds to the Company of $430,000 (the “Private Placement”).  The Company used the proceeds of the Private Placement as payment towards the outstanding principal balance of the promissory note issued to Sagebrush Gold Ltd. on January 26, 2012 in the principal amount of $1,000,000.
 
The securities were all sold and/or issued only to “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), were not registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws.
