Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 22, 2020, Purebase Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Materials Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with U.S. Mine Corp. (“USMC”), pursuant to which the Company will fill all of its requirements for certain raw clay materials from USMC. The Agreement amended the prior Materials Supply Agreement the parties had entered into on October 12, 2018.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, all kaolin clay purchased by the Company from USMC shall be used exclusively by the Company for agricultural products and supplementary cementitious materials. Notwithstanding the exclusive nature of the Agreement, the Company has the right to obtain some or all of such materials from another source. USMC has the right to mine, process and sell certain raw clay materials pursuant to its agreement with US Mine LLC (the “LLC”). Both USMC and the LLC are affiliates of the Company.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the price to be paid by the Company for the kaolin clay for supplementary cementitious materials shall be $25 per ton plus a $5 royalty to LLC, and the price to be paid for the clay for agricultural shall be $145 per ton for bagged products plus a $5 royalty to LLC. USMC granted the Company a most-favored nation provision to the effect that if any other customer of USMC obtains pricing which is more favorable than that provided to the Company, USMC shall adjust the cost to the Company to conform to the more favorable terms.

 

The term of the Agreement is three years, and the Agreement automatically renews for three successive one-year terms, unless either party terminates the Agreement upon at least 60 days’ notice prior to the end of the term, as previously extended. Either party has the right to terminate the Agreement for a material breach which is not cured within 90 days.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

 

Section 7 - Regulation FD

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On April 23, 2020, the Company issued a press release with respect to the Agreement. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this Report in such filing.
