Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition

On August 21, 2007, the registrant, Gryphon Gold Corporation (the “Registrant”), closed the acquisition of Nevada Eagle Resources LLC, a privately held Nevada limited liability company (“Nevada Eagle”), pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated July 4, 2007, by and between the Registrant, Gerald W. Baughman and Fabiola Baughman, as sellers (“Sellers”), and Nevada Eagle. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Registrant acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Nevada Eagle from the Sellers (the “Acquisition”) for the following consideration, paid on August 21, 2007 (the “Closing Date”):

The Convertible Note, due March 30, 2010, bears interest at an annual rate of 5% and is convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Registrant at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share during first the twelve-month period following the Closing Date, $1.25 per share during the second twelve-month period following the Closing Date, $1.50 per share thereafter, and $1.75 per share if converted on March 30, 2010. The interest payments are due on a semi-annual basis beginning on January 1, 2008.

In addition to the purchase consideration, the Sellers will be entitled to all revenues of Nevada Eagle (payable in cash, stock, or other consideration) calculated to be received and received on the Assets and Properties from January 1, 2007 through midnight on December 31, 2007; however, pursuant to a letter agreement between the Registrant and the Sellers, dated August 21, 2007, the Sellers’ revenue right does not include revenues generated or arising from any new agreements entered into by the Registrant regarding the acquired properties (as described below) executed after August 21, 2007.

Gryphon granted the Sellers registration rights under which Gryphon agreed to file, within the later of (i) 90 days of the Closing Date or (ii) any date in which Gryphon is required to file a registration statement for a third-party in connection with a financing or acquisition, but no later than 120 days of the Closing Date, a resale registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), to register the Common Shares issuable at Closing and the common shares of the Registrant issuable upon exercise of the Convertible Note.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Nevada Eagle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gryphon Nevada Eagle Holding Company, a Nevada corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Nevada Eagle has interests in 54 prospective gold properties covering over 70 square miles of gold trends in Nevada. Twenty-four of these properties are in the Walker Lane belt and add to Gryphon’s inventory of volcanogenic hosted gold resources. Seven of the properties are in the Cortez Trend, seven in the Austin-Lovelock Trend, two in the Carlin Trend and the balance are unique situations throughout Nevada with a few in contiguous states. These properties offer Gryphon both production opportunities or royalty income upon production. Twenty-six of the properties are ‘farmed-out’ through lease and option agreements that generate a positive cash flow net of carryings costs. The remaining wholly-owned properties are retained for Gryphon’s own exploration effort or additional future farm outs.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the closing of the Acquisition was subject to several closing conditions, including execution of several ancillary agreements as follows:

The shares, were placed pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, such exemption being available based on information and representations and warranties obtained from the Sellers.
