ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On November 29, 2010, Blacksands Petroleum, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiary Blacksands Petroleum Texas, LLC (“Blacksands”) entered into a leasehold acquisition and participation agreement (the “LAPA”) with Westerly Exploration, Inc. (“Westerly”) pursuant to which (i) Blacksands acquired the leasehold interests and rights thereto in the AP Clark II Prospect (as defined in the LAPA) located in Borden County, Texas from Westerly for $260,000 (ii) Blacksands paid Westerly $119,000 as advance payment towards 70% of the actual third party costs that will be required to receive an extension of certain leasehold properties included in the AP Clark II Prospect (as defined in the LAPA) (the “Extension Monies”) and (iii) Blacksands and Westerly agreed to drill the W.D. Everett Well No. 3 located within the AP Clark II Prospect (as defined in the LAPA) whereby all costs of such drilling operation shall be borne 30% by Westerly and 70% by Blacksands.
 
In the event Westerly fails to acquire the extension agreements for the certain leasehold properties included in the AP Clark II Prospect (as defined in the LAPA) before December 10, 2010, Westerly shall immediately reimburse Blacksands any of the Extension Monies not expended.

The casting program for the W.D. Everett Well No. 3 is estimated to cost $233,700 borne 30% by Westerly and 70% by Blacksands.  Upon execution of the LAPA, Blacksands paid Westerly $163,590 for the sole purpose of acquisition of casing for the W.D. Everett Well No. 3.  In the event Blacksands elects to drill the well, but not set production casing into the well, Westerly shall immediately reimburse Blacksands for either its proportionate share of the production casing or its proportionate share of the production casing acquired by Westerly, at Westerly’s discretion.

The estimated cost of drilling to casing point on W.D. Everett Well No. 3, excluding the cost of casing, is $795,700, borne 30% by Westerly and 70% by Blacksands.  On or before 10 days from the expected date the rig will move in or 2 days prior to Westerly’s date of execution of a W.D. Everett Well No. 3 drilling contract (whichever is earlier), Blacksands shall pay the sum of $556,990 to Westerly for the sole purpose of defraying all costs of drilling the W.D. Everett Well No. 3 to casing point provided in no event shall Blacksands be required to pay such costs before December 15, 2010.

Upon achieving casing point in the W.D. Everett Well No. 3, completion operations shall proceed on W.D. Everett Well No. 3 provided Blacksands shall wire Westerly the sum of $609,500 (the estimated 70% share of completion costs) for the sole purpose of defraying all costs of completing the W.D. Everett Well No. 3.

In the event Blacksands fails to make any payments set forth above, the LAPA shall terminate and Westerly shall retain all payments made by Blacksands to Westerly.
