Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, AMR had agreed to mine resources from the Pisgah Property.
The Mineral Lease calls for up to 9 million tons of material to be processed by AMR for commercial markets and remains in place until such 9 million tons are processed, or 15 years from the date of the Mineral Lease. The Definitive Agreement remains in place until the end of the Mineral Lease.
The initial processing under the Definitive Agreement is anticipated to commence in the third quarter of 2020 with the start of a pilot program. In the event the pilot program is successful, and subject to certain conditions, the processing of the Pisgah Property pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement is expected to begin during the first half of 2021. Under the Definitive Agreement all capital costs are borne by AMR.
Profits from the sale of any metals processed by AMR under the Definitive Agreement provide a royalty share to Can-Cal consisting of a minimum of 40% of net profits from the sale of mineral concentrate, increasing incrementally based on certain milestones of gross tonnage of material processed.
Additionally, prior to the first 8 million tons being processed, an optional right may be exercised whereby an additional 4.5 million tons of material, above the initial 9 million tons, can be processed under the Definitive Agreements with terms yet to be agreed upon by the parties, at which time the term of the Mineral Lease will be extended by 15 years.
Profits from byproducts remaining from the process to derive a concentrate for smelter-refiners, are to be split 50/50 between the parties.
Specific minimum as well as ongoing performance requirements are to be met through out the duration of the Definitive Agreements.
The Definitive Agreement requires AMR to pay a Royalty Advance of
In recognition of the Royalty Advance, the Company agreed to grant AMR a Warrant
to purchase up to 5 million shares of common stock (the "AMR Warrants"), of
which (a) warrants to purchase 3 million shares have an exercise price of
The Definitive Agreements include certain indemnification and other requirements of the parties typical of transactions of this type. The Mineral Lease may be terminated by AMR in certain situations including our breach of the representations of the Mineral Lease and our failure to cure such breaches 30 days after notice thereof is provided to the Company. In certain circumstances we also have the right to terminate the Mineral Lease, including upon AMR's breach of the agreement (and failure to cure 30 days after notice thereof is provided to AMR) and AMR's failure to meet certain minimum volume requirements relating to the processing of materials.

The Non-Compete prohibits us from competing against AMR in connection with the processing or refinement of industrial and other materials within a fifty-mile radius of the Pisgah Property during the term of the Mineral Lease.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of
We claim an exemption from registration for the grant of the AMR Warrants

and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be
required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, and the recipient
acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for
resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The
securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our
representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing

been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent
registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not
registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or
sold in
