Effective March 10, 2016, Athena Silver Corporation through its wholly owned subsidiary Athena Minerals, Inc. (the “Company”) executed and delivered new Lease/Purchase Option covering its flagship Langtry Silver Project located in the Calico Mining District, San Bernardino County, California.  The new Lease/Option supercedes all prior agreements.  The following is a summary of the highlights of the new Lease/Option, which is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Lease/Option which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1:

·

The Lease/Option has a term of 20 years, and grants an exclusive right to explore,  develop and purchase the Langtry property.  Rent payments under the Lease are a nominal $1 per year, payable in advance.

·

Option payments are:  $40,000 year 1; the greater of $40,000 or spot price of 2,500 ounces of silver years 2 through 5; the greater of $50,000 or the spot price of 2,500 ounces of silver years 6 through 10; the greater of $75,000 or the spot price of 3,750 ounces of silver years 11 through 15; and the greater of $100,000 or the spot price of 5,000 ounces of silver years 16 through 20. 50% of all option payments are credited against the purchase price should the Company exercise the purchase option. In 2016, the option payment is due $20,000 on March 15 and $20,000 on September 15.   In subsequent years, the option payment is due March 15.

·

During the lease term, and provided the purchase option has not been exercised, the lessor is entitled to receive a 2% NSR on silver production and a 3% to 5% royalty on other mineral production and certain other revenue streams;

·

After exercise of the purchase option, the lessor will not receive royalties on silver or other precious metals production but will receive a 5% royalty on barite production and other revenue streams.

·

Deferred rent of $130,000 under the prior lease shall be payable upon exercise of the purchase option or upon Athena entering into a joint venture or other arrangement to develop the Langtry prospect.
