SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 29, 2013, we entered into an agreement to amend and restate the agreement to the original property purchase agreement that was dated May 7, 2012 (the "Amended and Restated Agreement") with Fitzgerald Living Trust for the purchase of the Fitzgerald Ranch, which also supersedes the amendment agreement dated November 8, 2012, as follows:
(a) the purchase price has been increased to $17,000,000 and is to be paid as follows:
(i) the parties acknowledged that we have already paid $1,000,000 to Fitzgerald Living Trust;
(ii) a payment of $500,000 on the earlier of October 31, 2013, or within 30 days of closing our next financing;
(iii) a payment of $500,000 to be paid on December 31, 2013;
(iv) a payment of $1,000,000 to be paid on December 31, 2014; and
(v) the balance of $14,000,000 to be paid on the closing of the sale which is on or before June 15, 2015;
(b) we have provided Fitzgerald Living Trust with the option to enter into a grazing lease on the property at the rate currently being charged by the Petrified Forest National Park, with the period of the lease being 5 years, with the option to renew for an additional 5 year term. The parties agreed that any ranching use of the property is secondary, and subject to mineral exploration and development;
(c) during the term of the Amended and Restated Agreement, Fitzgerald Living Trust grants to us the right to enter into and on the property as set forth in the agreement to explore for, develop, core drill and sample ores, minerals and metals which are or may be found therein or thereon; provided however, that such ores, minerals and metals may only be removed, treated and produced in de minimus amounts from the core borings, solely for the purpose of determining the saturation and existence of such ores, minerals and metals and in no event shall we be permitted to sell any such ores, minerals or metals; and
(d) the construction of roads shall be subject to the prior written approval of Fitzgerald Living Trust, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld and shall be given in a timely manner.
The Amended and Restated Agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 10.17 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2013, and is incorporated herein by reference.
