Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2014, the Registrant (“North Bay”) executed a mineral property option agreement (the "Agreement") with Ximen Mining Corp. ("Ximen"), a Canadian issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, pursuant to which Ximen may earn up to a 100% interest in the Registrant's “Brett West” and “Bouleau Creek” mineral claims (the “Brett West Claims”) in southeastern British Columbia. Under the terms of Agreement, Ximen may earn up to a 100% interest in the Brett West Claims by making aggregate payments to North Bay of USD $600,000, consisting of $300,000 in cash and issuing $300,000 in shares of Ximen common stock. Of the aggregate payments, $100,000 in cash and $100,000 in stock was paid subsequent to receipt of regulatory acceptance of the Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange on September 5, 2014 (the “Closing Date”). Equal payments of $50,000 USD cash and $50,000 USD in shares of Ximen stock are each due upon the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 6-month anniversaries of the Agreement.
On March 23, 2015, the Registrant received $50,000 USD in the form of 480,077 shares of Ximen common stock as part of the 1st 6-month anniversary payment. As of the date of this report the Registrant has also received $17,500 USD cash as the first tranche of the cash payment due. The balance of $32,500 USD is expected to be received shortly. Accordingly, the Registrant considers the Agreement to be in good standing pending receipt of the cash balance due.
The above described executed Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1
