SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On June 4, 2013, Hinto Energy, Inc. ("the Company") and Pride Ventures, LLC ("Pride") and James Woolsey ("Woolsey") entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("the Agreement."). As part of the Agreement, the Company acquired all right and title to certain mineral estates in Grand County, Utah. The transaction had a closing date of June 17, 2013.

In exchange for such mineral estates, the Company plans to pay a total of $100,000 in a combination of cash and stock, as follows: - $75,000.00 in cash; and - $25,000.00 in the form of 50,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock.
