Item 1.01. Entry of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 22, 2013, US Precious Metals, Inc. (“Company”) entered into a Mining Services Agreement with Mesa Acquisitions Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Contractor”), in association with Alba Petroleos De El Salvador Sem De CV, a Venezuelan company. Under the agreement, Contractor has agreed to perform certain mining services on a portion of the Company’s Mexican mining concessions. The Company maintains approximately 37,000 acres of mining concessions located in the State of Michoacán, Mexico, and the agreement covers the Solidaridad I & II mining concessions (or approximately 5,000 acres). Under the agreement, Contractor has agreed to perform the various mining services in three, separate phases described below:

 

ØPhase 1 entails the immediate commission of high-tech satellite imaging to identify mineralization and confirm the two previous drilling campaigns on the mining concessions known as Solidaridad I and/or Solidaridad II.

 

The estimated costs of Phase 1 is approximately $400,000 USD.

 

ØPhase 2 entails the development of the necessary infrastructure to conduct full scale mining operations on the Solidaridad I and/or Solidaridad II mining concessions, including limited exploration, establishment of roads, water, power (electricity) and staging area for employees on site.

 

The estimated costs of Phase 2 is approximately $10 million USD.

 

ØPhase 3 entails the construction of a processing plant to process the ore, which will be owned by the Company.

 

The estimated costs for the construction of the processing plant is approximately $40 million USD.

 

Contractor will be responsible for the costs and expenses of; the satellite imaging described in Phase 1, the limited exploration and build out of the infrastructure described in Phase 2, and the construction of the processing plant described in Phase 3. The obligation of contractor to proceed to Phases 2 and 3 will be dependent upon the company receiving positive results of the satellite imaging. The size and capacity of the processing plant to be constructed by the Contractor will be determined by parties, subject however to the results of the satellite imaging. Actual mining and processing expenses will be allocated between the parties in proportion to their revenue allocation described below (70% for Company/30% for Contractor).

 

As consideration for the mining services, Contractor will receive the following consideration from the Company:

 

Phase 1 and Phase 2. As consideration for Phases 1 and 2, the Company will issue to Contractor 10 million shares of its common stock.

 

Phase 3. As consideration for completion of Phase 3, Contractor will earn a 30% revenue interest in the revenues resulting from the sale of the ore, subject to it paying its proportionate share of the mining and milling expenses. If ontractor fails to perform or elects not to perform Phase 3 for any reason within 12 months from the completion of Phase 2, Contractor will forfeit all rights to the project.


In addition to the consideration stated above, as a further inducement for Contractor to enter into the Mining Services Agreement, the Company’s Chairman has agreed to issue to Contractor an additional 5 million shares of our common stock held by the Chairman.

The parties will be obligated to share in the mining and processing costs and revenues generated from any ore processing on a proportionate basis, that is 70% to the Company and 30% to Contractor.

 

The Mining Services Agreement contains extensive terms and obligations regarding the performance of the mining services by Contractor. Accordingly, the descriptions of the Mining Services Agreement is not complete, and is qualified in their entirety by reference to each agreement which are filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes.

 

Mr. George Mesa, the sole owner of Contractor, has been the Company’s Director of Security for the Company’s Mexican mining concessions since September 2012. Mr. Mesa received stock options to acquire 1 million share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 in connection with that appointment.

 

The Company can not predict the results of the satellite imaging to be undertaken by Contractor. If the results of such imaging are such that Contractor elects not to proceed with Phase 2 and/or Phase 3, such event will have a negative impact on the Company.
