ITEMS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT


Section 1.  Registrant's Business and Operations


Item 1.01.  Entry into Material Definitive Agreements


On December 5, 2013, American Cordillera Mining Corporation (the “Company” or "AMCOR") entered into a definitive agreement with Manuel Graiwer, a related party and director of AMCOR, and executed a promissory note relating to a loan from Mr. Graiwer in the amount of $20,000 until January 4, 2014 at 6% interest per annum.  There were no fees, commissions or professional fees for services rendered in connection with the promissory note.  The transaction was arranged and undertaken by the officers of AMCOR.


On December 4, 2013, AMCOR signed an Option and Joint Venture Agreement (the "Agreement") dated December 4, 2013 with Kent Exploration, Inc. (“KENT”). a Canadian mineral exploration company, whereby KENT can acquire an Option, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, ("TSX-V"), (the "Option") to earn an 80% interest in the historic Bayhorse Silver Mine ("Bayhorse") in east-central Oregon State.  This Agreement supersedes the Letter Agreement executed with KENT on November 7, 2013


The Bayhorse property consists of 3 patented claims and 10 lode claims totaling approximately 250 acres.  The property is readily accessible, being approximately 7 miles by County road from Huntington, Oregon, on the BN rail line, with road access and power at the property boundary, approximately 500 feet from the main adit entrance.  Additional unpatented mining claim have been located by Kent for the benefit of the Joint Venture


Mining has been conducted intermittently at Bayhorse since the early 1920's and the mine last closed after the price of silver dropped to under US$6/oz in late 1984. The property has remained dormant since. The Bayhorse mine has two existing accessible adits, the upper extending about 800 feet westward into the hill and the lower extending about 500 feet into the hill.  A middle level is reached only by raises from the lower level and winzes from the upper level.  Three areas have been stoped in the ground between the upper and middle level.  


The terms of the Agreement called for the payment of an additional US$20,000 payment subsequent to the execution of the Agreement.  To earn the 80% interest the Kent is required to conduct a minimum of US$100,000 per year on exploration expenditures on the property on or before each of the first two anniversaries of the Agreement, US$300,000 on or before the third anniversary of the Agreement and expend US$500,000 on or before the fourth and fifth anniversaries respectively of the Agreement.  In addition, the KENT will issue 500,000 shares of its common stock to AMCOR now that the Agreement has been executed.  Issuance of these shares is also subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange, (“TSX-V”)  An additional 500,000 shares of KENT shall be issued to AMCOR on the third anniversary of the Agreement and 500,000 shares on the fifth anniversary of the Agreement.  KENT will assume the obligations of the underlying lease agreement with Northern Adventures LLC.


AMCOR’s interest shall be a Carried Interest until such time as a Decision to Mine has been made.  A Decision to Mine is defined as a detailed report prepared by, or prepared under the supervision of, an Independent Qualified Person in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for evaluating the feasibility of placing any part of a Property into commercial production as an operating mine and shall include a reasonable assessment of the various categories of ore reserves and resources and their amenability to metallurgical treatment, a detailed description of the work, personnel, equipment and supplies required to bring such part of the Property into commercial production and the estimated cost thereof, a description of the mining and processing methods to be employed and a financial appraisal of the proposed operations.  At such time as a decision to mine has been made, of which there is no assurance, a joint venture shall automatically be formed between the AMCOR and KENT, whereby AMCOR shall hold 20% of the joint venture interest and KENT shall hold 80% of the joint venture interest, in and to the Lease.  All expenditures from the date of the formation of the joint venture shall be apportioned between the parties as to their percentage of ownership interest.


A work program is underway on the Bayhorse property, and follow up assays from those assays was announced in the KENT's news release KEX2013-11 from a surface and underground sampling program recently conducted by the Company are tabulated below.  Further assay results are pending.
