Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 30, 2008, Patriot Gold Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with American Goldfields Inc., a Nevada corporation (“American Goldfields”), to acquire the exclusive option to an undivided right, title and interest in 22 unpatented Federal mining claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada (the “Property”). American Goldfields had originally acquired its exclusive option on the Property on June 30, 2004, when it entered into a Property Option Agreement (the “Property Agreement”) with MinQuest Inc., the owner of the Property.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company assumed the rights, and agreed to perform all of the duties and obligations, of American Goldfields arising under the Property Agreement. Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Company paid American Goldfields $250,000, which amount represents the full payment and satisfaction for the assignment by American Goldfields to the Company of the Property Agreement and all rights and obligations with respect thereto. Included in the assignment were, without limitation, all sums incurred by American Goldfields in connection with the Property, specifically (i) the refunding of the reclamation bond previously paid by American Goldfields to the Bureau of Land Management in Nevada in the amount of $13,255; (ii) the $276,944 of expenditures incurred by American Goldfields prior to the Agreement; and (iii) the $120,000 paid to MinQuest Inc. as option payments under the Property Agreement.
For all the terms and provisions of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, reference is hereby made to such agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.15. For all the terms and provisions of the Property Agreement, reference is hereby made to such agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.16. All statements made herein concerning the foregoing are qualified in their entirety by reference to said exhibits.
