On August 17, 2010, Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc.

SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 11, 2010, in connection with the Company’s block sale of all of its holdings of shares of Scorpio Gold Corporation common stock (the “Sale”), as previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2010, the Company directed a portion of its cash proceeds from the Sale to the repayment in full of that certain Amended and Restated Debt Restructuring Secured Promissory Note dated February 6, 2009 (“Restructuring Note”). The Restructuring Note was made by the Company in favor of Crestview in the principal amount of $1 million plus interest to accrue thereon, in connection with that certain Bridge Loan and Debt Restructuring Agreement between the Company and Crestview, dated January 30, 2009 (t he “Restructuring Agreement”), as disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 5, 2009, as further updated in a subsequent Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 25, 2009 (collectively, the “Crestview Reports”). All information set forth in the Crestview Reports is incorporated herein by reference.
Upon the Company’s repayment in full of the Restructuring Note, pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement and related Amended and Restated Security Agreement, Crestview cancelled the Restructuring Note and released its security interest in the Company’s membership interest in Mineral Ridge Gold, LLC (the “LLC”), the joint venture entity that owns and operates the Mineral Ridge property with Scorpio Gold. Further, the Company’s assignment to Crestview of fifty percent (50%) of its right to any proceeds from distributions made by the LLC, to be applied as a mandatory prepayment on the Restructuring Note, is no longer in effect. The Company continues to retain its current thirty percent (30%) membership interest in the LLC.
