AGREEMENT

 

This agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between American Strategic Minerals Corporation (“Amicor”) and California Gold Corp. (“California Gold”), effective as of March 19, 2012 (the “Effective Date”).

 

WHEREAS, Amicor owns interests in each of the mining properties described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Amicor Properties”); and

 

WHEREAS, California Gold is in the business of gold exploration and desires to obtain information concerning possible gold and geological formations indicating possible gold resources on the Amicor Properties and to obtain from Amicor a geological review of the Amicor Properties pursuant to which California Gold may determine and identify the approximate locations and scope of geologic formations that could contain potential gold deposits, if any (the “Report”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Amicor and California Gold hereto agree as follows:

 

1.          Delivery and Purchase Price. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth herein, Amicor agrees to deliver a Report to California Gold on or prior to March 30, 2012. In consideration for delivery of the Report, California Gold agrees to pay $125,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which payment may, at the election of California Gold, be paid in cash or in unregistered shares of California Gold Corp. common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued by California Gold in compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws in the name of Amicor (the “Shares”), on or prior to March 30, 2012. In the event that California Gold elects to deliver the Common Stock, it shall deliver such number of shares of Common Stock that shall be equal to the number which results from dividing the Purchase Price by the Common Stock Value, as defined herein. For purposes hereof, the Common Stock Value shall mean: (i) the closing price of a share of the Common Stock as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on March 19, 2012, provided that such Common Stock shall be issued to the Company with an issuance date prior to March 30, 2012.

 

2.          Representations and Warranties of California Gold.  California Gold hereby represents and warrants to Amicor the following:

 

 (a)           California Gold is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to carry out the business in which it proposes to engage.

 

(b)           California Gold has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to issue the Shares. All necessary proceedings of California Gold have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.  The Agreement has been duly authorized by California Gold and, when executed and delivered by California Gold, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of California Gold enforceable against California Gold in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

(d)           Amicor understands the various risks of an investment in California Gold as proposed herein and can afford to bear such risks, including, without limitation, the risks of losing the entire investment.
