Exhibit 10.8

MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
 
    This Mutual Release Agreement ("Release") is made and entered into as of February 19, 2015, by and between Orbital Tracking Corp. (formerly Great West Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation) ("Orbital"), and MJI Resources Corp., an Arizona corporation ("MJI"). Orbital and MJI are sometimes each referred to herein as a "Party" and collectively, as the "Parties".

WITNESSETH:
 
    WHEREAS, Orbital and MJI  were party to that certain Services and Employee Leasing Agreement, dated June 1, 2011, as amended (the “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which MJI was required to perform certain services associated with Orbital’s business;
 
    WHEREAS, Orbital and MJI were party to that certain Debt Forgiveness Agreement dated November 8, 2013 (the “Debt Forgiveness Agreement” and, together with the Services Agreement, the “Agreements”) pursuant to which MJI forgave Orbital all outstanding amounts owed to it under the Services Agreement and otherwise, less $175,000 (the “Residual Debt”);
 
    WHEREAS, Orbital asserts that MJI is not entitled to repayment of the Residual Debt as its August 2013 failure to maintain Orbital’s mining claims on the 76 and COD properties (the “Claims”) in good standing violated the Services Agreement and constituted a breach of the fiduciary duties owed to Orbital;
 
    WHEREAS, to avoid the time and expense of litigation, the Parties desire to resolve their differences and reach an end, compromise, and settlement for all disputes existing and potentially existing between them from the Agreements; and
