On September 29, 2015, the Board of Directors of Star Mountain Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the issuance of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to two Company consultants in recognition of their extraordinary services rendered to the Company during the period from January 1, 2015 through to and including December 31, 2015. Also on September 30, 2015, the Company issued 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock to Summit Capital USA, Inc., a significant stockholder of the Company (“Summit”), in consideration of (i) the cancellation of $27,500 of $55,000 of fees due and payable as of August 31, 2015 by the Company to Summit, and (ii) payment in respect of consulting services, business advisory, operational, Securities and Exchange Commission compliance and litigation support services provided by Summit for the period commencing July 1, 2015 through to and including December 31, 2015.

 

The registrant claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the private placements of the above-referenced securities, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder because, among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering, each of the recipients acquired the securities for investment and not resale, and we took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
