Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Item 3.02, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities;

 

Amendment to Option Agreement with AHL Holdings and Golden Sands

 

On September 14, 2012, we entered into an agreement (as amended and restated on November 15, 2012, February 1, 2013, August 26, 2013 and July 30, 2014) with AHL Holdings Ltd. and Golden Sands Exploration Inc. for the exclusive option to purchase a 80% interest in and to certain mining claims from AHL Holdings and Golden Sands, which claims form the Winnemucca Mountain Property in Humboldt County, Nevada.

 

If the option is exercised, the option agreement provides that AHL Holdings, Golden Sands and Northern Minerals & Exploration Ltd. will enter into a joint venture agreement. We will solely be responsible for financing the joint venture and will act as sole operator in consideration of a fee.

 

On February 1, 2013, the option agreement was further amended and restated. This amended and restated agreement serves to defer, by 90 days, option payments of $30,000 and $200,000 that were previously due by December 31, 2012 and September 14, 2013, respectively. In addition, our obligation to incur $150,000 in exploration expense by February 15, 2013 will be deferred until July 1, 2013, and the initial $20,000 royalty advance payable to AHL Holdings and Golden Sands shall be deferred from December 31, 2012 until April 1, 2013. In consideration of the extended payment and expense deadlines, we paid a $10,000 penalty to AHL Holdings and Golden Sands on February 1, 2013.

 

On August 26, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated option agreement with AHL Holdings and Golden Sands that materially modifies and replaces the terms of the original option agreement (as previously amended). The amended and restated agreement increases the interest that we may purchase in the Winnemucca property to 80% from 70%, modifies the exercise price payable in respect of the option, and extends schedule for delivery of payment and performance of obligations required for exercise of the option. In that regard, the aggregate cash fee payable to exercise the option has been increased from $1,715,000 to $1,755,000 and the total number of common shares issuable to exercise the option has been increased from 100,000 to 2,100,000. Lastly, the agreement provides that AHL Holdings may elect to receive shares of our common stock in lieu of any cash payments payable pursuant to the agreement at a 75% discount to the then current closing market price.

 

Effective July 30, 2014, we entered into amended and restated option agreement with AHL Holdings and Golden Sands that materially modifies and replaces the terms of the original option agreement (as amended last on August 26, 2013). Pursuant to this amended and restated agreement, our remaining outstanding obligations are as follows:
