The offered purchase price for the Anderson Mine, as described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed August 8, 2009, is $500,000 in cash on closing, assumption of all of Concentric's indebtedness as appears on the S1/A balance sheet and through the date of closing, plus 12,000,000 shares of common stock from the Treasury of American Energy Fields, Inc.
If agreed upon, the purchased assets shall include all of the uranium and related assets necessary for the continued operation of Anderson as a going concern (studies, reports, claims, licenses, rights, etc.) substantially in accordance with its historical activities as reflected in the S1/A.
