(“Sage”, collectively with the Registrant and Borealis, the “Parties”) entered into Amendment No. 2 to Option Agreement dated March 5, 2010, as amended on March 26, 2010 (the “Option Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Registrant has granted Sage the option to earn a 50% joint venture interest in the Registrant’s Borealis gold project located in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt of Southwest Nevada.  Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Registrant and Sage agreed to enter into the Subscription Agreement pursuant to which Sage will invest US$400,000 in a private placement of units by the Registrant (the “Private Placement”).  The foregoing description of the Option Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Option Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Registrant’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2010, and the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, Section 1.1(o) of the Option Agreement was amended to provide for the termination of the due diligence period on the earlier of (i) April 30, 2010 or the (ii) the termination of the Option Agreement, rather than on the earlier of (i) April 19, 2010 or the (ii) the termination of the Option Agreement.

Other than as set forth above, all other terms and conditions of the Option Agreement remain unamended and in full force and effect.  The foregoing description of Amendment No. 2 is qualified in its entirety by the copy of Amendment No. 2, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
