Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated August 2017, the Company will acquire all the capital stock of Bullard’s Peak Corporation (which owns five patented claims and 82 unpatented claims in the Black Hawk district of New Mexico) from Black Hawk Consolidated Mines Company for a purchase price of $3,000,000, of which $350,365 remains due and payable as of the date hereof and the capital stock of Bullard’s Peak Corporation and the mining claims collateralize the full purchase price payment.  The Company granted the seller a 2% net smelter return in perpetuity.  The net smelter return is the greater of (i) all monies the Company receives for or from any and all ore removed from the property comprising the mining claims whether for exploration, mining operations or any other reason, and (ii) the fair market value of removed ore from the property comprising the mining claims.  Title to the claims will be transferred upon receipt by seller of the full purchase price. Pursuant to an amendment to the stock purchase agreement in October 2018, the Company paid the seller $200,000 and in November 2018, the Company paid the seller an additional $100,000.  The balance of the purchase price of $250,365 (which includes $50,365 of expenses that the Company agreed to reimburse seller) was required to be paid by December 31, 2018, but has been restructured and  extended as follows: (i) $65,000 was paid on January 2, 2019; (ii) $50,000 is due on or before January 31, 2019: (iii) $100,000 is due on or before February 28, 2019; and (ii) $100,000 is due  on or before March 31, 2019.  If any payment is not timely paid, all rights of the Company under the stock purchase agreement shall become automatically null and void and seller shall retain all monies paid as liquidated damages for the Company’s breach, and seller shall have no further obligations to the Company, including but not limited to, any obligation to transfer the capital stock of Bullard’s Peak Corporation to the Company pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement.
