Item 1.01                      Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 3.02                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Effective April 22, 2011, the Registrant and Ruby Development Company ("RDC") have executed an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Option Agreement and Option Addendum, dated September 1, 2010, as amended on January 26, 2011, and the Commercial Property Purchase Agreement and Purchase Agreement Addendum Two dated September 1, 2010 (the "Agreements") on the property known as the Ruby Gold Mine ("Ruby") in Sierra County, California.

The Amendment provides revised terms for the accelerated exercise of the Registrant’s Option to Purchase from June 30, 2011 to June 1, 2011, and an increase to the final Option payment due on June 1, 2011 from $50,000 to $85,000.  Upon making the final option payment of $85,000 on June 1, 2011, the Registrant shall be deemed to have exercised the Option, and said payment shall also satisfy the requirement for a deposit to open escrow.  The Amendment also provides that monthly mortgage payments for the duration of 2011 shall be reduced from $85,000 per month to $35,000 per month.  In addition, and in consideration for amending the Agreements, the Registrant shall issue warrants granting RDC the right to purchase 2 million shares of the Registrant’s common stock at the exercise price of ten cents ($0.10) per share.  Said warrants are valid until May 1, 2016, but may not be exercised until the earlier of May 1, 2012, or the Registrant's receipt of the first tranche of funding through the federal EB-5 program. A summary of the federal EB-5 program as it relates to the Ruby Mine project funding is provided in a press release included as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  A full description of the federal EB-5 program as it relates to project funding for the Ruby Mine is disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2011.

All other terms and conditions of the original Agreements, as amended, shall remain in effect.

The above described executed Amendment is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.6.
