Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 29, 2008, Compania Minera de Caldas S.A. (“Caldas”), a 95% owned Colombian subsidiary of Colombia Goldfields Ltd. (the “Company”), entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mineros S.A. (“Mineros”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Colombia and acting on its own behalf and as representative of Eduardo Pacheco Cortes, Rodrigo Vasquez Mejia, Alberto Velasquez Haupt, Alberto Mejia Hernandez, Carlos Urrutia Valenzuela and Juan Manuel Urrutia Valenzuela (Mineros, together with the individuals listed above, the “Vendors”), to amend the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) previously entered into between Caldas and the Vendors. Under the terms of the SPA, Caldas agreed to purchase from the Vendors all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mineros Nacionales S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Colombia, for cash consideration of US$35.0 million.  The SPA provided that the transaction would be completed on April 29, 2008, unless such date were extended by mutual agreement, and Caldas provided a deposit guarantee in the amount of US$2.5 million which would be payable to the Vendors if the transaction were not completed for any reason.  Under the terms of the Agreement, Caldas and the Vendors have agreed to extend the completion date of the transaction to June 30, 2008, unless extended by mutual, express agreement up to July 31, 2008, and Caldas has agreed to deposit a further 20% of the purchase price (US$7 million) on or before May 15, 2008, with the balance due upon closing.  Caldas has also extended the US$2.5 million deposit guarantee previously provided until July 31, 2008.  In addition, the Agreement provides that the balance of the purchase price payable upon closing shall be payable in Colombian pesos based upon the benchmark exchange rate in effect on the date such payment is made or the date on which the further 20% deposit is made, whichever is more advantageous to the Vendors.

The Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  The SPA was disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 4, 2008 and was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB on March 20, 2008.

Payment of the Transaction Price shall be made as follows:  No later than the first business day following May 14, 2008, the Buyer shall deposit as earnest money into the Mineros S.A. bank account specified in the Agreement twenty per cent (20%) of the Price of the Shares for Sale in Colombian pesos calculated as set forth below and via deposit of the remaining eighty per cent (80%) no later than two (2) days before the new Closing Date at Fiduciaria Colpatria S.A. or another fiduciary institution agreed upon by the Parties by mutual agreement, with the instruction for this institution to deliver them in the correct proportion according to the instructions given by Mineros S.A. as soon as Colpatria receives from the Sellers all the documents referred to in sections (i) and (ii) of Article 5.1. “Sellers’ Actions” of this Agreement, with the instructions that they be turned over to the latter.  Since the Price of the Shares for Sale specified in Ex hibit A of the Agreement is stated in dollars of the United States of America, payment of the twenty per cent (20%) shall be converted to Colombian pesos, taking the benchmark market rate prevailing on the day on which the payment is made as the conversion factor, and delivery of the remaining eighty per cent (80%) to Fiduciaria Colpatria or another fiduciary institution agreed upon by the Parties by mutual agreement shall be converted into Colombian pesos taking the benchmark market rate prevailing on the day that that delivery is made as the conversion factor or it shall be converted into Colombian pesos taking the benchmark market rate prevailing on the date on which payment of the initial twenty per cent (20%) was made as the conversion factor, whichever is more advantageous to the Sellers.  All costs in connection with the system for payment of the final eighty per cent (80%) shall be borne by Compañía Minera de Caldas S.A.”

5.

With respect to the proposed amendment to Article 2.3 “Closing,” we propose the following language:
