Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 19, 2012, California Gold Corp. (“we” or, the “Company”) entered into an agreement with American Strategic Minerals Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Amicor”), pursuant to which for the consideration of $125,000, we will receive a report (the “Report”) from Amicor concerning the geological formations on two properties (the “Amicor Properties”) in Bull Canyon and Martin Mesa, Montrose County, Colorado. Amicor owns mining leases covering unpatented mining claims on the Amicor Properties. We will review the Report to determine and identify the approximate locations and scope of geological formations, if any, that could contain potential gold deposits.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
At our option, we have decided to pay Amicor for the Report by issuing to Amicor 1,250,000 restricted shares of our common stock, valued at $0.10 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on March 19, 2012.
The sales of the our shares to Amicor is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Amicor has represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate restrictive legends are being affixed to the common stock certificates to be issued to Amicor. Amicor represented and warranted to us, among other things, that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D.
