On May 17, 2018, Magellan Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), through its Mexican subsidiary MINERALES VANE 2, S.A. DE C.V., entered into an Agreement For Exploration with INGENIEROS MINEROS, S.A. DE C.V. (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was amended on July 20, 2018 (the “Amendment”) in order to comply with new Mexican legislation. Information regarding the Agreement is set forth in Item 7.01 below and a copy of the Agreement and the Amendment are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 respectively.

On August 13, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing it has entered into an agreement giving it the right to acquire the El Dorado Gold-Silver Property, a 50 hectare mining concession located near the village of Las Minitas, which lies 50 kilometers south of Magellan’s SDA Flotation Plant at Acaponeta, Nayarit State. Magellan intends to advance El Dorado towards production as a matter of priority. It has initiated permitting and is in the process of selecting an underground mining contractor. The project has excellent road and rail infrastructure, and the Company plans to truck the ore from El Dorado to the SDA Plant for processing. El Dorado is situated within a district of epithermal vein systems from which historic mining produced high grades. A copy of the Press Release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Commencement of mining will depend on satisfying a number of conditions, the most important of which include obtaining environmental and blasting permits, selecting and mobilizing a mining contractor and procuring financing. An access and land use agreement with the local ejido already is in place. Once development begins, ore will be quickly accessible with a minimal amount of underground development. Ore will be sourced initially from the shallow, upper portions of the mineralized veins.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liability under that section, and they shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information pursuant to Item 7.01, The Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
