As previously reported by the Company on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on January 4, 2016, on December 21, 2015 the Company received service of a Complaint that had been filed but not served on June 22, 2015 in the Ada County District Court, State of Idaho, >Idaho State Gold Co. II, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company; and, Owyhee Gold Territory, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company v. Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. a Nevada corporation, et al., Case No. CV OC 1510506 (the “Lawsuit”). The Complaint also names as defendants South Mountain Mines, Inc. and Thunder Mountain Resources, both of which are Nevada corporations, wholly-owned by THMG. The Lawsuit alleges that the Company’s subsidiary has wrongly failed to issue ownership units in Owyhee Gold Territory, LLC, in connection with the operation and management of the Owyhee Gold Territory LLC (previously referred to as Owyhee Gold Trust, LLC (hereinafter “OGT LLC”) and the South Mountain Project. In fact, as described below in greater detail, the Company believes that Idaho Gold Company II, LLC (“ISGC II”) failed to make its Initial Contribution described by the relevant Agreement; and, in any case, ISGC II has not provided accounting consistent with generally accepted accounting practices nor an independent audit required for issuance of ownership units and that significant damages are payable by ISGC II to the Company.
On November 4, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Idaho State Gold Co. II (ISGC II or ISGC), LLC, an Idaho limited liability company; and, Owyhee Gold Territory, LLC (OGT), an Idaho limited liability company. The material terms of the Settlement Agreement are as follows: (i) SMMI will manage and retain 75% ownership in the OGT, with ISGC II retaining 25% ownership but no management control; (ii) OGT will be managed by SMMI under a new operating agreement signed by both parties, and will exist as a holding company, with the real assets taken out and advanced by SMMI under an industry standard Mining Lease with Option to Purchase Agreement; (iii) OGT will retain a capped five-million dollar ($5,000,000) Net Returns Royalty, paid quarterly at 5% of the net profits of the project when it begins producing; (iv) There is also a $5,000 per year lease payment due to OGT. The lease purchase and ISGC II`s 25% interest in OGT sunsets upon the payment of $5,000,000 to OGT.
On November 4, 2016, a stipulation was filed in Fourth District Court of Idaho dismissing the previously mentioned Complaint, Case No. CV OC 1510506 (the “Lawsuit”), regarding Idaho State Gold Co. II (ISGC II or ISGC), LLC, an Idaho limited liability company; and, Owyhee Gold Territory, LLC (OGT), an Idaho limited liability company v. Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. a Nevada corporation, et al.
