regulatory approval for the transaction, and given Sparton notice
it will proceed with the acquisition.

c. Commencing October1st, 2011 and on or before the first day of every
month thereafter, a monthly payment of $50,000 until an aggregate cash
payment of $500,000 is completed. For further clarity, the last monthly
payment of $50,000 shall be made on or before March 1, 2012.
In consideration of amending the cash payment terms as requested
by ACM, Sparton will receive a further cash payment of $30,000 when
ACM completes the acquisition of the 50% interest in Sierra
Rosario. ACM has also agreed that upon completion of an equity
financing of a minimum of $1.5 million before March 1, 2012, the
amended payment schedule will be accelerated, such that all unpaid
amounts will be due and payable immediately, and the balance of
250,000 shares of American Consolidated will be issued
concurrently, subject to regulatory approvals. All securities
issued pursuant to this Acquisition will be subject to a four-month
hold period.
Sparton will also receive Net Smelter Return Production
Royalties ("NSR") payable from ACM's share of any production on the
SRP of:
i. 3% of ACM's share of Base Metal Production
ii. 2% of ACM's share of Gold Production
iii. 1.5% of ACM's share of Silver Production
ACM will assume the responsibilities of being a 50% partner in
the joint venture with INM and be subject to the existing joint
venture terms.
The plus 500 hectare Sierra Rosario Property was explored by
Sparton and INM over a four year period from 2004-2008. It lies
within the Sierra Madre Occidental Mineral Belt of Sinaloa Province
in northern Mexico, approximately 25 kilometres northwest of the
town of Choix and 40 kilometres east of the town of Alamos. Both
areas have a strong history of precious metals mining. There are
several precious metal zones on the property with excellent drill
targets already identified that represent areas of potentially bulk
mineable silver and gold mineralization.
Sparton is looking forward to the successful development of the
Sierra Rosario Project under this new ownership structure. ACM and
INM are committed to advancing the program and with INM's
experience and recent success in Mexico the Company is confident
the work programs will proceed in an effective manner.

and evaluation programs are being carried out under the direct
supervision of A. Lee Barker, P. Eng., P Geol., Sparton's President
