    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.
