SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

This Seventh Amendment to Investment Agreement (“Amendment”) is made as of the 30th day of April, 2013 by and between Desert Hawk Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and DMRJ Group I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”).

BACKGROUND

A.

The Company and the Investor are parties to a certain Investment Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2010, as amended by the Amendment and Waiver dated as of November 8, 2010, the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”), dated as of February 25, 2011, the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”), dated as of March 11, 2011, and the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”), dated as of May 3, 2011, the Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”), dated as of December 15, 2012, and the Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”), dated as of December 15, 2012 (as further modified or amended from time to time, the “Investment Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Investor has made available to the Company a senior secured term loan credit facility of up to $6,500,000.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Investment Agreement.

B.

The Company has made good faith efforts to obtain the Environmental Permits and Mining Permits necessary to engage in and conduct the Kiewit Mining Activities and has informed the Investor of the status of the permit applications on a continuous basis but the Company has been unsuccessful in obtaining such permits and as such the Company has not satisfied the Kiewit Milestones.

C.

The parties now wish to further amend the Investment Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the loan and permit the Company to receive in the aggregate funds of up to $100,000 pursuant to the Investment Agreement, notwithstanding that it has still not satisfied the conditions for a Kiewit Advance.  

NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof, and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt to which is hereby acknowledged, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01 of the Investment Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.

Amendments.  

(a)

Upon execution of this Amendment, without satisfying the provisos contained in clauses (ii) and (iv) in the first sentence of Section 2.01, the Investor shall make a Term Loan Advance in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 (the “April Term Loan Advance”). The April Term Loan Advance shall not be deemed to be a Kiewit Advance and as such the provisions of Sections 2.02(vi), 2.05(b), 2.09, and 3.02(d) shall not apply to the April Term Loan Advance.

(b)

Upon the terms and conditions contained herein and the Investment Agreement, on May 15, 2013 the Company shall be permitted to request, and upon the delivery of a duly completed Borrowing Notice to the Investor in connection herewith, the Investor shall make, a Term Loan Advance in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000 without satisfying the provisos contained in clauses (ii) and (iv) in the first sentence of Section 2.01 (“May Term Loan Advance”).  The May Term Loan Advance shall not be deemed to be a Kiewit Advance and as such the provisions of Sections 2.02(vi), 2.05(b), 2.09, and 3.02(d) shall not apply to the May Term Loan Advance.

(c)

The term “Maturity Date” in the Investment Agreement shall be amended to mean “June 30, 2013.” For avoidance of doubt, all amounts due under the Investment Agreement, including the Amortization Amount (as defined in the Fourth Amendment), October Term Loan Advance, January Term Loan Advance, April Term Loan Advance and May Term Loan Advance, together with all interest thereon, are due on the Maturity Date.
