Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 27, 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.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Caldas and the Vendors have agreed to extend the completion date of the transaction until the third business day following approval of the transaction by the Office of the Superintendent of Industry and Commerce in Colombia, without going beyond July 30, 2008.

Caldas has previously provided a U.S. $2.5 million deposit guarantee and advanced an additional U.S. $7 million against the purchase price. Both amounts are non-refundable should the transaction not close for any reason.

Exhibit 99.1

Medellín, 25 June 2008

Doctor
BEATRIZ E. URIBE RESTREPO
General Manager
Mineros S.A.
Medellín, Colombia

Dear Beatriz:

As discussed yesterday at the offices of Gómez Pinzón Abogados in Bogotá with representatives of Mineros Nacionales, Compañía Minera de Caldas y Colpatria in order to work out how a trust for payment of the outstanding balance for the purchase of the shares of Mineros Nacionales S.A. will be established, it is necessary to postpone the closing date in order to obtain the authorization of the Office of the Superintendent of Industry and Commerce for the transaction, compulsory as set forth in Law 155 of 1959 and Decree 2153 of 1992.

An appointment at the Superintendent’s Office is scheduled for Wednesday at which a rough idea of when the authorization could be obtained, but the maximum period is by 21 July 2008, upon expiration of the 30 business days cited in the second paragraph of Article 1 of Law 155 of 1959 which states:

"If the Government has not opposed the transaction after thirty (30) days following submission of the report cited in this article, the interested parties may proceed to carry it out."

The foregoing notwithstanding, as set forth in paragraph 2 of Article 4 of Law 155 of 1959 and Article 6 of Decree 1302 of 1964, the period of thirty (30) days shall not commence until the Office of the Superintendent has received all the information it needs to rule on the merger transactions that are part of the system of private information. Consequently, in the event this entity makes a request for additional information, the period of 30 days shall be counted from the date on which the requested information has been submitted."

The investors require that their transfer of the balance of the transaction to Colombia be made once the authorization of the SIC has been obtained. Therefore, we propose the following wording for Article 2.3 of the agreement for purchase of the shares:

"The transfer by the sellers owning the Shares for Sale to the Buyer (the Closing) shall take place at the headquarters of the Fiduciaria Colpatria S.A. on the date on which the Sellers turn over to Fiduciaria Colpatria S.A. or another fiduciary institution jointly adopted by the Parties, all the documents cited in sections (i) and (ii) of Article 5.1 "Sellers’ Documents" of this Agreement, with the instructions that they be delivered to the Buyer. The Closing Date shall be the third business day following that on which the authorization of the Office of the Superintendent of Industry and Commerce for the transaction was obtained. However, the closing date may not extend beyond 30 July 2008 unless SIC’s authorization cannot be obtained or due to reasons other than the improper action or omission of Compañía Minera de Caldas S.A."


It is understood that the other stipulations contained in the Agreement are not modified and retain full legal effect.

The guarantee of seriousness of the offer continues with the same wording and is valid until 31 July 2008.

If your representative and the other Sellers agree with the modification of the Agreement as set forth here, please inform us by signing this letter as an indication of your acceptance and explicit agreement as set forth in the Agreement for Purchase of Shares.

Cordially,
