4 of 38

 
RECORD DATE
 
The Board of Directors of Colombia Goldfields Ltd. has fixed the close of business on June 2, 2006 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting.
 
PROXY SOLICITATION
 
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors through use of the mails, proxies may also be solicited by Colombia Goldfields Ltd. and its directors, officers and employees (who will receive no additional compensation therefore) by telephone, telegram, facsimile transmission or other electronic communication, and/or by personal interview. The Company will reimburse banks, brokerage houses, custodians and other fiduciaries that hold shares of common stock in their name or custody, or in the name of nominees for others, for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials to those persons for whom they hold such shares. The Company will bear the costs of the annual meeting and of soliciting proxies therefore, including the cost of printing and mailing this proxy statement and related materials. The Company has spent approximately $8,000 in legal and other expenses in the preparation of this proxy statement and other expenses connected with the solicitation of security holders. It is anticipated that the Company will spend an additional $1,000 in solicitation of security holders before the meeting is held.

Any questions or requests for assistance regarding the Company's proxies and related materials may be directed in writing to the Chief Executive Officer, J. Randall Martin, #208-8 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario Canada M5C 1B5.
 
QUORUM
 
The presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of five percent (5%) of all the shares outstanding, represented by shareholders of record, will constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. Shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy (including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for stockholder approval) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the annual meeting.
 
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
 
The nominees elected as directors are those receiving the largest numbers of votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election, either present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, up to the number of directors to be elected by such shares. Shareholders entitled to vote at any election of directors are not entitled to cumulative votes. Votes may be cast in favor of the election of directors or withheld. Votes that are withheld will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no other effect on the election of directors.

Confirmation of Vellmer & Chang as auditors for the Company and approval of the Colombia Goldfields Ltd. 2006 Stock Option Plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast, excluding abstentions, at any meeting at which a quorum is present.
 
5 of 38

 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date is required for the approval of the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of common shares authorized for issuance and the reincorporation of the Company in the State of Delaware. Stockholders may vote in favor of or against this proposal, or they may abstain. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposals listed in this proxy statement.

Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to the stockholders for approval at the annual meeting. On June 2, 2006, there were an aggregate of 43,215,849 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Shares held in “street name” by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter will not be voted in favor of such matter and will not be counted as shares voting on such matter. Accordingly, broker non−votes, if any, will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors or the approval of the other matters voted upon at the annual meeting.
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
All Proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no choice is specified, the proxies will be voted FOR the election of all the nominees to serve as our directors and FOR the approval of all of the other proposals set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and on the proxy card. If other matters are properly presented, however, the persons named as proxy appointees will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. The grant of a proxy also will confer discretionary authority on the persons named as proxy appointees to vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to the conduct of the annual meeting.
 
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
No proposals have been received from any shareholder to be considered at the annual meeting.

The deadline for submittal of shareholder proposals for the next regularly scheduled annual meeting will be not less than 120 calendar days before the date of the company's proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting. A shareholder proposal submitted outside the processes of SEC Regulation Section 240.14a−8 will be considered untimely if received at the principal offices of the Company on or after 45 days prior to the Company's release of its proxy statement to shareholders.
 
DISSENTERS’ RIGHT OF APPRAISAL
 
Shareholders will have a right of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to the reincorporation of the Company in the State of Delaware.

There are no rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any of the other scheduled matters to be acted upon at the annual meeting.
 
6 of 38

 
Under Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), any holder of our common stock who does not wish to become a stockholder of the reincorporated entity under the laws of the State of Delaware may seek to receive the appraised value (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the reincorporation) for, his shares of Company’s common stock, judicially determined, in cash, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, provided that the stockholder fully complies with the provisions of Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, of the NRS. However, we have the right to terminate the reincorporation, if, in our Board’s sole judgment, the holders of too many of our outstanding shares of common stock exercise their appraisal rights.

Ensuring the perfection of your appraisal rights can be complicated. The procedural rules are specific and must be followed precisely. Failure to comply with the procedure may cause a termination or waiver of your appraisal rights. The following information is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the statutory procedures you must follow in order to perfect your appraisal rights. Please review Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, of the NRS for the complete procedure. We will not give you any notice other than as described in this Proxy Statement. A copy of Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, of the NRS is accessible from the Nevada Secretary of State’s website.


If you vote to approve the reincorporation proposal, you may not seek your right to appraisal.
 
REVOCATION OF PROXY
 
Execution of a proxy by a shareholder will not affect such shareholder's right to attend the annual meeting and to vote in person. Any shareholder who executes a proxy has a right to revoke it at any time before it is voted by: (a) advising the Company in writing of such revocation; (b) executing a later−dated proxy which is presented to us at or prior to the annual meeting; or (c) appearing at the annual meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the annual meeting will not itself be deemed to revoke a proxy unless the shareholder gives affirmative notice at the annual meeting that the stockholder intends to revoke the proxy and vote in person.
 
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
 
No person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the any matter to be acted upon other than the election of directors.
 
SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, AND SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO COMPLETE, DATE, SIGN AND PROMPTLY RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Other than as disclosed below, none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since our incorporation or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.

On September 22, 2005, we entered into an Assignment Agreement with Investcol Limited, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Belize ("Investcol"), where Investcol assigned, transferred, and conveyed to us all of its rights under a Contract for Purchase Option of Mining Concessions (“Original Option Contract”) entered into with CIA Servicios Y Logisticos Ltda., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Colombia, whereby we paid to Investcol Limited ("Investcol"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Belize, $500,000 on September 22, 2005, and will pay (i) $750,000 during the 12 month period commencing June 25, 2006 and issue 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) up to $1,740,000 during the 12 month period commencing June 25, 2007 and (iii) a monthly office fee of $7,500 through July 31, 2006. Also on this date, we also entered into an agreement with Investcol to manage the exploration operations on these interests, in consideration for fees paid to Investcol.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement we entered into on January 12, 2006 with Investcol and RNC (Colombia) Limited, a Belize corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Investcol ("RNC"), and the exercise of an option pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement on April 28, 2006, we acquired fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding stock of RNC and hold an option to acquire the remaining fifty percent (50%) of RNC's issued and outstanding stock over a period of time. In consideration for this acquisition, we issued a total of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to Investcol and a $5,200,000 non-interest bearing demand loan to RNC.
 
13 of 38


On April 10, 2006, we acquired Investcol’s rights in certain mining contracts to exclusively engage in mining activities on Concessions 6993, 7039, 6821, and 6770 (the “Contracts”) and options that Investcol holds to acquire the exclusive rights to engage in mining activities on Concessions HET-31, 32, 26, 27, and HETG-01 (the “Options”) all located within an area in Colombia referred to as the Caramanta location. In consideration for this acquisition, we issued to Investcol one million restricted shares of our common stock and paid to Investcol $350,000.

Mr. Martin, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors, was appointed as an officer and director of Investcol on February 23, 2006 and continues to serve in this capacity. Mr. Martin was also appointed as an officer and director of RNC (Colombia) Limited, a subsidiary of Investcol, on February 23, 2006 and continues to serve in this capacity.

Our Vice President of Exploration, Luis Gabriel Correa Ocampo, is also employed by Cia Servicios Logísticos as its Chief Geologist.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we paid rent of $11,250 to a company for which Mr. Hunter, our Chief Operating Officer and director, is a board member.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth, as of June 2, 2006, the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each executive officer and director, by each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the our common stock and by the executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as described in the footnotes to this table, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock held by them. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each person named in this table is c/o Colombia Goldfields Ltd., #208-8 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario Canada M5C 1B5.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
 
Colombia Goldfields Ltd. does not currently have a compensation committee, executive committee, or stock plan committee. Colombia Goldfields Ltd. is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), which is sponsored by the NASD, under the symbol “CGDF.” The OTCBB does not have any listing requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the
 
16 of 38

 
Board when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, the Board:
 
1.  
Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
 
2.  
Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor's independence.

Based upon the Board’s review and discussion of the matters above, the Board authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
NOMINATION COMMITTEE
 

The Company's independent directors annually review all director performance over the past year and make recommendations to the Board for future nominations. When evaluating director nominees, the Company's independent directors consider the following factors:
 
§  
The appropriate size of the Company’s Board of Directors;
 
§  
The needs of the Company with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors;
 
§  
The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;
 
§  
Experience in political affairs;
 
§  
Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
 
§  
The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new Board members.
 
17 of 38

 
The Company’s goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, the Company has not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although the Company reserves the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve the Company's best interests.
 
MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Board met two times, in person or by telephonic conference. Each incumbent Director attended in excess of 75 percent of the total meetings of the Board. In addition, various matters were approved by consent resolution which in each case was signed by each of the members of the Board then serving.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE NOMINEES. PROXIES SOLICITED BY COLOMBIA GOLDFIELDS LTD. WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY IN THEIR PROXIES A CONTRARY CHOICE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

PROPOSAL NO. 3
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

At the annual meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the Amended Colombia Goldfields Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. On January 6, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted the Colombia Goldfields Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. In June 2006, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Colombia Goldfields Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) for the purpose of increasing the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the 2006 Plan from three million five hundred thousand (3,500,000) shares to five million (5,000,000) shares.

The following description of certain features of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to be a summary only. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2006 Plan that is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Capitalized terms used herein are defined in Appendix 1 to the 2006 Plan.
 
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
 
The purpose of the 2006 Plan is to advance the interests of our Company by allowing us to attract, retain, reward and motivate Eligible Individuals by providing them with an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in our Company and incentives to expend maximum effort for the growth and success of our Company so as to strengthen the mutuality of the interests between the Eligible Individuals and the shareholders of Colombia Goldfields Ltd.
 
19 of 38

 
ELIGIBILITY
 
Awards may be granted under the 2006 Plan to any Eligible Individual as determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time on the basis of their importance to the business of the Company pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Plan.
 
ADMINISTRATION
 
The 2006 Plan shall be administered by Board of Directors or the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which shall have the full power and authority to take all actions, and to make all determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of the 2006 Plan deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate to the administration of the 2006 Plan, any Award granted or any Award Agreement entered into thereunder. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the 2006 Plan or in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the 2006 Plan into effect as it may determine in its sole discretion. The decisions by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding with respect to the interpretation and administration of the 2006 Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement entered into under the 2006 Plan.
 
LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
No covered individual shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the 2006 Plan, any Award granted or any Award Agreement entered into hereunder. Our Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Colombia Goldfields, Ltd., indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Individual against any cost or expense (including reasonable attorney fees reasonably acceptable to the Company) or liability (including any amount paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company), and amounts advanced to such Covered Individual necessary to pay the foregoing at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the 2006 Plan, any Award granted or any Award Agreement entered into hereunder. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification such individuals may have under applicable law or under the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Colombia Goldfields, Ltd. Notwithstanding anything else herein, this indemnification will not apply to the actions or determinations made by a Covered Individual with regard to Awards granted to such covered individual under the 2006 Plan or arising out of such Covered Individual's own fraud or bad faith.
 
COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS
 
The common stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the 2006 Plan shall be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares of the common stock. The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the 2006 Plan shall be five million (5,000,000) shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2006 Plan.
 
OPTIONS, TERM AND EXERCISE PRICE
 
Unless otherwise determined by Board of Directors or a Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors, the exercise price of the common stock subject to an option is the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. However, ISOs granted to a person
 
20 of 38

 
who owns more than 10% of our voting power are required to have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. Further, the exercise price of the common stock subject to an option granted to a "Non U.S. Taxpayer" may be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The Compensation Committee determines the option exercise period for each option, not to exceed ten years from the grant date, except that ISOs granted to a person who owns more than 10% of our voting power are required to have an exercise period of not greater than five years.
 
CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of Colombia Goldfields, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion, provide on a case by case basis that (i) some or all outstanding Awards may become immediately exercisable or vested, without regard to any limitation imposed pursuant to this 2006 Plan, (ii) that Awards shall terminate, provided however, that Participants shall have the right, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control and during such reasonable period as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine and designate, to exercise any vested Award in whole or in part, and/or (iii) that Awards shall terminate provided that Participants shall be entitled to a cash payment equal to the excess of the aggregate Change in Control Price with respect to shares subject to the vested portion of the Award over the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares subject to the vested portion of the Award. In the event that the Committee does not terminate an Award upon a Change in Control of Colombia Goldfields, then each outstanding Award shall upon exercise thereafter entitle the holder thereof to such number of shares of common stock or other securities or property to which a holder of shares of common stock would have been entitled to upon such Change in Control.
 
TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS
 
A Participant may not Transfer an Award other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Awards may be exercised during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant. No Award shall be liable for or become subject to the debts, contracts, or liabilities of any Participant, nor shall any Award be subject to legal process or attachment for or against such person. Any purported Transfer of an Award in contravention of the provisions of the 2006 Plan shall have no force or effect and shall be null and void, and the purported transferee of such Award shall not acquire any rights with respect to such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion permit the Transfer of an Award to a Participant's "family member" as such term is defined in the Form 8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, under such terms and conditions as specified by the Committee. In such case, such Award shall be exercisable only by the transferee approved of by the Committee. To the extent that the Committee permits the Transfer of an Incentive Stock Option to a "family member", so that such Option fails to continue to satisfy the requirements of an incentive stock option under the Code such Option shall automatically be re-designated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
 
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
 
The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the 2006 Plan as to any shares of Common Stock as to which Awards have not been granted; provided, however, that the approval by a majority of the votes present and entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of
 
21 of 38

 
the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting stock is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the amendment, or by written consent in accordance with applicable state law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Colombia Goldfields shall be required for any amendment (i) that changes the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the 2006 Plan, (ii) that increases the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in the aggregate that may be subject to Awards that are granted under the 2006 Plan (except as permitted under Section 5 or Section 14 thereof), (iii) if approval of such amendment is necessary to comply with federal or state law (including without limitation Section 162(m) of the Code and Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) or with the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may be listed or traded, or (iv) if such amendment eliminates a requirement provided herein that the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields must approve an action to be undertaken under the 2006 Plan. Except as permitted under Section 5 or Section 14 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the 2006 Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of an Award, alter or impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted under the 2006 Plan. Awards granted prior to the termination of the 2006 Plan may extend beyond the date the 2006 Plan is terminated and shall continue subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan as in effect on the date the 2006 Plan is terminated.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN. PROXIES SOLICITED BY COLOMBIA GOLDFIELDS LTD. WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY IN THEIR PROXIES A CONTRARY CHOICE.

PROPOSAL NO. 4
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a resolution setting forth an amendment to Article III of the Articles of Incorporation which would increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000, par value of $0.00001 per share, and directed that the proposed amendment by considered at the next annual meeting of the stockholder entitles to vote on the amendment. If this proposed amendment is adopted, the newly authorized shares of Common Stock will have voting and other rights identical to the currently authorized shares of Common Stock.

Of the 50,000,000 currently authorized shares of Common Stock, 43,215,849 shares were issued and outstanding as of June 2, 2006.

The Board of Directors believes that it is in the Company's best interests to have the flexibility to issue a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock as needs may arise without further shareholder action unless required by applicable law, regulation, listing requirements or the Articles of Incorporation. At present, we have no agreements, understandings or plans for the issuance or use of the additional shares of Common Stock proposed to be authorized. However, the Board of Directors believes that the current number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock will be insufficient to meet our future needs. The availability of additional shares will enhance our flexibility in connection with possible future actions, such as corporate mergers, acquisitions of businesses, property or securities, stock dividends, stock splits, financings, employee benefit programs, and other proper corporate purposes. The Board of Directors will
 
22 of 38

 
determine whether, when and on what terms the issuance of shares of Common Stock may be appropriate in connection with any of the foregoing purposes, without the possible expense and delay of a special meeting of shareholders.

If this proposal is approved, the Board of Directors does not intend to seek further shareholder approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock in future transactions unless required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or the listing requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed. Further, the Board of Directors does not intend to issue any shares of Common Stock to be authorized under this proposal except upon the terms the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may, among other things, have a dilutive effect on earnings per share, and on stockholders' equity and voting rights. The issuance of additional shares, or the perception that additional shares may be issued, may also adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights.

Shares of authorized and unissued common stock could be issued in one or more transactions that could make more difficult, and therefore less likely, that any takeover of the Company could occur. Issuance of additional common stock could have a deterrent effect on persons seeking to acquire control. The Board also could, although it has no present intention of so doing, authorize the issuance of shares of common stock to a holder who might thereby obtain sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to effect certain business combinations or amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws would not receive the required shareholder approval. Accordingly, the power to issue additional shares of common stock could enable the Board to make it more difficult to replace incumbent directors and to accomplish business combinations opposed by the incumbent board.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. PROXIES SOLICITED BY COLOMBIA GOLDFIELDS LTD. WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY IN THEIR PROXIES A CONTRARY CHOICE.

PROPOSAL NO. 5
REINCORPORATION OF
COLOMBIA GOLDFIELDS LTD. INTO DELAWARE

Introduction

The Board of Directors has approved a plan to change the Company's state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware (the "Reincorporation"). The Reincorporation will be effected by merging (the "Merger") the Company into Colombia Goldfields Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("Colombia Goldfields Delaware"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger to be entered into between the Company and Colombia Goldfields Delaware (the "Merger Agreement"). A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Colombia Goldfields Delaware is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company recently incorporated in Delaware solely for the purpose of effecting the Reincorporation. Colombia

Goldfields Delaware currently has no material assets and no business operations. Upon consummation of the Reincorporation, Colombia Goldfields Delaware will continue to exist in its present form under the name "Colombia Goldfields Ltd."

The Merger

The Reincorporation will be effected by the Merger, with Colombia Goldfields Delaware being the surviving corporation. The terms and conditions of the Merger are set forth in the Merger Agreement included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, and the summary of the terms and conditions of the Merger set forth below is qualified by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement. Upon consummation of the Merger, Colombia Goldfields Delaware will continue to exist in its present form under the name Colombia Goldfields Ltd., and the Company will cease to exist. The Reincorporation will change the legal domicile of the Company, but will not result in a change in the principal offices, business, management, capitalization, assets or liabilities of the Company. By operation of law, Colombia Goldfields Delaware will succeed to all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities of the Company. The Board of Directors of Colombia Goldfields Delaware will be comprised of the persons elected to the Company's Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting.

After the Merger, the rights of stockholders and the Company's corporate affairs will be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Colombia Goldfields Delaware, instead of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company. Certain material differences are discussed below under "Material Differences between Nevada and Delaware Corporate Laws." A copy of the certificate of incorporation of Colombia Goldfields Delaware is included as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and the bylaws of Colombia Goldfields Delaware are available for inspection by stockholders of the Company at the principal offices of the Company located at 208-8 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario Canada M5C 1B5.

Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company will be automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share of Colombia Goldfields Delaware (the "Delaware Common Stock"). Each outstanding certificate representing shares of Common Stock will continue to represent the same number of shares of Delaware Common Stock and such certificates will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of shares of Delaware Common Stock. IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS TO EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES OF COLOMBIA GOLDFIELDS DELAWARE. The Delaware Common Stock will continue to be listed on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board, without interruption, and the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board will consider the delivery of existing stock certificates of the Company as constituting "good delivery" of shares of Colombia Goldfields Delaware in stock transactions effected after the Merger.

Following the Merger, the Amended Colombia Goldfields, Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan adopted at this annual meeting will be continued by Colombia Goldfields Delaware, and the options granted pursuant to such plan will automatically be converted into options to purchase the same number of shares of Delaware Common Stock at the same exercise price and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the options. Restricted stock issued pursuant to any previous stock option plan will be converted into restricted stock of Colombia Goldfields Delaware on the same

terms and conditions.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding shares of the Common Stock whether or not present at the Annual Meeting, who are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the approval and adoption of the Merger. The Merger is expected to become effective as soon as practicable after stockholder approval is obtained and all other conditions to the Merger have been satisfied, including the receipt of all consents, orders and approvals necessary for consummation of the Merger and the listing of the shares of the Delaware Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board. Prior to its effectiveness, however, the Merger may be abandoned by the Board of Directors if, for any reason, the Board of Directors determines that consummation of the Merger is no longer advisable.

Reasons For and Advantages of Reincorporation in Delaware

The Board of Directors has requested stockholders to approve the Reincorporation for many reasons. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that state and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws which are periodically updated and revised to meet changing business needs. As a result, many major corporations have initially chosen Delaware for their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Delaware. Furthermore, the Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations, thereby providing greater predictability with respect to legal affairs.

Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt a number of measures, through amendment of the corporate certificate of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise, designed to reduce a corporation's vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to such defensive measures with respect to the conduct of the Board of Directors under the business judgment rule with respect to unsolicited takeover attempts.

In the opinion of Board of Directors of Colombia Goldfields, the latitude described above affords Delaware corporations more opportunities to raise capital. The procedures and degree of stockholder approval required for Delaware corporations for the authorization of additional shares of stock, and for approval of certain mergers and other transactions, present fewer practical impediments to the capital raising process than those which apply to Nevada corporations. For example, a Delaware corporation has greater flexibility in declaring dividends, which can aid a corporation in marketing various classes or series of dividend paying securities. Under the DGCL, dividends may be paid out of surplus, or if there is no surplus, out of net profits from the corporation's previous fiscal year or the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared, or both, so long as there remains in the stated capital account an amount equal to the par value represented by all shares of the corporation's stock, if any, having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Under the NRS, dividends may not be paid by the corporation if the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or (unless the corporation's articles of incorporation permit otherwise) if the corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities, plus amounts payable in dissolution to holders of shares carrying a liquidation preference over the class of shares to which a dividend is declared. These and other
 
25 of 38

 
differences between NRS and the DGCL are more fully explained below in the section entitled "Comparative Rights of Stockholders."

In the opinion of the Board of Directors of Colombia Goldfields, underwriters and other members of the financial services industry may be more willing and better able to assist in capital raising programs for corporations having the greater flexibility afforded by the DGCL.

Disadvantages of Reincorporation in Delaware

Despite the belief of the Board of Directors of Colombia Goldfields in the benefits and advantages of reincorporation in Delaware, some stockholders may find the Reincorporation disadvantageous for several reasons. As discussed below, the DGCL, unlike any applicable provision of the NRS, contains a statutory provision intended to discourage certain takeover attempts Delaware corporations which are not approved by the Board of Directors. This anti-takeover provision could have the effect of lessening the possibility that stockholders of Colombia Goldfields Delaware would be able to receive a premium above market value for their shares of Delaware Common Stock in the event of a takeover. This provision could also have an adverse effect on the market value of the shares of Delaware Common Stock. To the extent that this provision may restrict or discourage takeover attempts, it may render less likely a takeover opposed by the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board of Directors and may make removal of the Board of Directors or management less likely as well.

As further discussed below, the Delaware Charter contains a provision limiting director liability under certain circumstances and the Delaware Bylaws contain provisions relating to indemnification of directors and officers. These provisions could operate to the potential disadvantage of the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields Delaware. For example, their inclusion may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of Colombia Goldfields Delaware recovering monetary damages from directors as a result of derivative litigation against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited Colombia Goldfields Delaware and its stockholders. In addition, the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields Delaware will forego potential causes of action for breach of duty of care involving grossly negligent business decisions, including those relating to attempts to change control of Colombia Goldfields Delaware. Following the Reincorporation, the authorized capital stock of Colombia Goldfields Delaware will remain unchanged. No additional shares of Delaware Common Stock other than those shares issued in exchange for shares of Colombia Goldfields Common Stock will be issued by Colombia Goldfields Delaware in connection with the Reincorporation. Colombia Goldfields's current directors will become the directors of Colombia Goldfields Delaware. All employee benefit, stock option and employee stock purchase plans of Colombia Goldfields will become Colombia Goldfields Delaware plans, and each option or right issued by such plans will automatically be converted into an option or right to purchase the same number of shares of Delaware Common Stock, at the same price per share, upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions. Stockholders should note that approval of the Reincorporation will also constitute approval of these plans continuing as Colombia Goldfields Delaware plans. Other employee benefit arrangements of Colombia Goldfields will also be continued by Colombia Goldfields Delaware upon the terms and subject to the conditions currently in effect.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation

A holder of the Common Stock will not recognize gain or loss in respect of his Common Stock as a result of the Reincorporation. His basis in a share of Colombia Goldfields Delaware will be the same as his basis in the corresponding share of the Company held immediately prior to the Reincorporation. His holding period in a share of Colombia Goldfields Delaware will include the period during which he held the corresponding share of the Company, provided he held the corresponding share as a capital asset at the time of the Reincorporation.

In addition, neither the Company nor Colombia Goldfields Delaware will recognize gain or loss as a result of the Reincorporation, and Colombia Goldfields Delaware will generally succeed, without adjustment, to the tax attributes of the Company. Upon Reincorporation, however, Colombia Goldfields Delaware will be subject to Delaware franchise tax. It is currently anticipated that the Company will be required to pay the State of Delaware an annual franchise tax of no more than $500. 

The foregoing summary of federal income tax consequences is included for general information only and does not address all income tax consequences to all of the Company's stockholders. The Company's stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences of the Reincorporation with respect to the application and effect of state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

Description of Capital Stock and Voting Rights

The Company's authorized capital consists of 50 million shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The certificate of incorporation of Colombia Goldfields Delaware, a copy of which is included in this Proxy Statement as Appendix B, provides for 200 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Delaware Preferred Stock"). The Board of Directors of the Company will be authorized, without further stockholder action, to divide any or all shares of the Delaware Preferred Stock into series and fix and determine the designations, preferences and relative rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon of any series so established, including voting powers, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, redemption rights and conversion privileges. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors of Colombia Goldfields Delaware has not authorized any series of the Delaware Preferred Stock, and there are no plans, agreements or understandings for the authorization or issuance of any shares of the Delaware Preferred Stock. The issuance of the Delaware Preferred Stock with voting rights or conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the Common Stock, including the loss of voting control to others. The issuance of the Delaware Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company. 

As of June 2, 2006, there were 43,215,849 shares of Common Stock outstanding. In addition, approximately 11,111,706 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise of warrants. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, on a share-for-share basis if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available.

Securities Act Consequences

The shares of Delaware Common Stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Common Stock are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In that regard, Colombia Goldfields Delaware is relying on Rule 145(a)(2) under the 1933 Act, which provides that a merger which has "as its sole purpose" a change in the domicile of a corporation does not involve the sale of securities for purposes of the 1933 Act, and on interpretations of the Rule by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") which indicate that the making of certain changes in the surviving corporation's charter documents which could otherwise be made only with the approval of the stockholders of either corporation does not render Rule 145(a)(2) inapplicable.

After the Reincorporation, Colombia Goldfields Delaware will be a publicly-held company, Delaware Common Stock will be listed for trading on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board, and Colombia Goldfields Delaware will file periodic reports and other documents with the Commission and provide to its stockholders the same types of information that the Company has previously filed and provided. Stockholders whose Common Stock is freely tradable before the Reincorporation will have freely tradable shares of Delaware Common Stock. Stockholders holding restricted shares of Common Stock will have shares of Delaware Common Stock which are subject to the same restrictions on transfer as those to which their present shares of Common Stock are subject, and their stock certificates, if surrendered for replacement certificates representing shares of Delaware Common Stock, will bear the same restrictive legend as appears on their present stock certificates. For purposes of computing compliance with the holding period requirement of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, stockholders will be deemed to have acquired their shares of Delaware Common Stock on the date they acquired their shares of Common Stock. In summary, Colombia Goldfields Delaware and its stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Reincorporation as were the Company and its stockholders prior to the Reincorporation.

Comparative Rights of Stockholders

As a result of the Reincorporation, holders of Colombia Goldfields Common Stock will become stockholders of Delaware Common Stock and the rights of all such former Colombia Goldfields stockholders will thereafter be governed by the Delaware Charter, the Delaware Bylaws, and the DGCL. The rights of the holders of Colombia Goldfields Common Stock are presently governed by the Nevada Charter, the Nevada Bylaws, and the NRS.

The following summary, which does not purport to be a complete statement of the general differences among the rights of the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields Delaware and Colombia Goldfields, sets forth certain differences between the DGCL and the NRS, between the Delaware Charter and the Nevada Charter, and between the Delaware Bylaws and the Nevada Bylaws. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of such documents, the DGCL and the NRS.

Number of Directors; Removal; Filling Vacancies

The Delaware Charter and Bylaws provide that, subject to any rights of holders of Colombia Goldfields Delaware Preferred Stock, the number of directors will be fixed from time to time by
 
28 of 38

 
action of not less than a majority of the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board then in office or by the stockholders of 66 2/3% of the voting power of Colombia Goldfields Delaware. The Delaware Charter and Bylaws currently provide that initially there shall be two (2) directors and upon the effective time of the Reincorporation, the number of directors will increase to nine (9). The Nevada Bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be not less than two (2) nor more than thirteen (13), which can be modified only by the unanimous consent of the Board or a majority of the stockholders. Accordingly, the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board may be able to more easily prevent any stockholder from enlarging the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board and filling the new directorships with such stockholder's own nominees.

Under the DGCL, classified boards with staggered terms are permitted. The Delaware Charter and Bylaws provide for a classified board with the directors divided into three classes, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders after the Reincorporation and the terms of the second and third classes of directors not expiring until the second and third annual meetings after such date. In connection with consummation of the Reincorporation, a majority of the Colombia Goldfields directors will determine the initial class of each individual director of Colombia Goldfields Delaware.

Although the NRS also permits classified boards with staggered terms, the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws do not create nor mandate a classified board. Classified boards are an anti-takeover provision that could have an adverse effect on the market value of the shares of Colombia Goldfields Delaware's Common Stock. To the extent that a classified board may restrict or discourage takeover attempts, the Delaware Bylaws may render less likely a takeover opposed by the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board and may make removal of directors or management less likely as well.

Under the DGCL, any director or the entire board of directors generally may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors, unless the corporation has a classified Board of Directors, in which case the directors may only be removed for cause. The Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws provide for a classified Board of Directors, thus directors of Colombia Goldfields Delaware may only be removed for cause.

Under the NRS, stockholders may remove one or more directors by the vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the voting power of the Voting Stock, unless the articles of incorporation require a vote of a greater percentage of the Voting Stock. The Nevada Charter does not require a greater percentage then the NRS. Accordingly, members of the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board of Directors may be more difficult for a stockholder to remove than directors of Colombia Goldfields.

The Delaware Bylaws and Delaware Charter provide that, subject to any rights of holders of Colombia Goldfields Delaware Preferred Stock, any vacancies (including newly-created directorships) will be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum. Directors appointed to fill vacancies created by the resignation or termination of a director will serve until the expiration of the term for which elected.

Under the Nevada Bylaws, newly created vacancies are to be filled by affirmative vote of the shareholders at any special or regular meeting or by a majority of the remaining directors, though
 
29 of 38

 
less than a quorum exists.

Business Combinations

Section 203 of the DGCL provides that, subject to certain exceptions specified therein, a corporation shall not engage in any business combination with any "interested stockholder" for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless (i) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding shares held by directors who are also officers and employee stock purchase plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether plan shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer) or (iii) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and by the affirmative vote at an annual or special meeting, and not by written consent, of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. Except as specified in Section 203 of the DGCL, an interested stockholder is defined to include (a) any person that is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant date and (b) the affiliates and associates of any such person.

Under certain circumstances, Section 203 of the DGCL may make it more difficult for a person who would be an "interested stockholder" to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the corporation's certificate of incorporation or stockholders may elect to exclude a corporation from the restrictions imposed thereunder. The Delaware Charter does not exclude Colombia Goldfields Delaware from the restrictions imposed under Section 203 of the DGCL. It is anticipated that the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL may encourage companies interested in acquiring Colombia Goldfields Delaware to negotiate in advance with the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board, since the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office approve either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.

The NRS also prohibits certain business combinations between a corporation and an "interested stockholder" (one beneficially holding, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the outstanding voting stock) for three years after such person became an interested stockholder unless such interested stockholder, prior to becoming an interested stockholder, obtained the approval of the board of directors of either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in such person becoming an interested stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the NRS permits business combinations that meet all requirements of the corporation's articles of incorporation and either (i) are approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder (or as to which the purchase of shares made by the interested stockholder had been approved by the board of directors before the date of purchase), or (ii) are approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the voting stock (excluding voting stock of the interested stockholder and its affiliates and associates) at a meeting called for such purpose no earlier than three years after the interested stockholder became an interested
 
30 of 38

 
stockholder, or (iii) the form and amount of consideration to be received by stockholders (excluding the interested stockholder) of the corporation satisfy certain tests and, with limited exceptions, the interested stockholder has not become the beneficial owner of additional voting shares of the corporation after becoming an interested stockholder and before the business combination is consummated. A corporation may expressly exclude itself from application of the foregoing business combination provisions of the NRS, but Colombia Goldfields has not done so.

Limitation of Liability of Directors

The DGCL permits a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for damages for certain breaches of the director's fiduciary duty. However, no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for declaration of unlawful dividends or illegal redemptions or stock repurchases; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Delaware Bylaws and the Delaware Charter each include such a provision, in each case, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Delaware Charter provides that a director or an officer will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which concerns unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The NRS permits a corporation to include any provision in its articles of incorporation that are not contrary to the laws of the State of Nevada; there is no restriction on a corporation's ability to limit the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation. Under the NRS, a director is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that: (i) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (ii) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law. There is no requirement that any such provision be included in the articles of incorporation to be effective.

The Nevada Charter provides that Colombia Goldfields's officers and directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty except for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) for the payment of dividends in violation of the NRS, in which cases a director shall be liable to the extent provided under prior Nevada law.

While these provisions provide officers and directors with protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care, they do not eliminate such duty. Accordingly, these provisions will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based on an officers or director's breach of his or her duty of care. The NRS limits an officer's or director's liability for monetary damages, except for breach of his duties under certain circumstances.
 
31 of 38


Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Both the NRS and the DGCL permit a corporation to indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents for actions taken in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, which they had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. Both states' laws provide that a corporation may advance expenses of defense (upon receipt of a written undertaking to reimburse the corporation if indemnification is not appropriate) and must reimburse a successful defendant for expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred, and both states permit a corporation to purchase and maintain liability insurance for its directors and officers. Both the DGCL and NRS provide that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent a court determines that the person is entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

The Delaware Bylaws provide that each person who is involved in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, will be indemnified by the corporation to the full extent permitted by the DGCL as the law exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted prior to such amendment) or by other applicable laws then in effect. However, the Delaware Bylaws do not provide indemnification for a director who initiates a suit against Colombia Goldfields Delaware, except in specified situations required by law or authorized by the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board, or if the director brings suit to enforce an indemnification contract. The indemnification rights to be conferred by the Delaware Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Colombia Goldfields Delaware is authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and agents.

Under the Nevada Charter, Colombia Goldfields may enter into an agreement of indemnification with its directors to provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted, as currently provided under NRS, and is substantially similar to the indemnification of directors under the Delaware Bylaws except that the Nevada Charter does not preclude indemnification when a suit is initiated by a director.

The members of the Colombia Goldfields Board have a personal interest in seeing that the Reincorporation Agreement is approved and effected so that they are subject to the limitation on liability and indemnification provisions included in the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws.
 
32 of 38


Special Meetings of Stockholders

Under the DGCL, a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the corporation's board of directors or by such persons as may be authorized by the corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The Delaware Bylaws provide that a special meeting may be called at any time by (i) the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board, (ii) the President, or (iii) the holders of not less than 50% of all shares entitled to cast votes at the meeting, voting together as a single class.

Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, the NRS provides that the entire board of directors, any two directors or the president of a corporation may call annual and special meetings of the stockholders. The Nevada Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the Colombia Goldfields Board, the President, or by the written request of any director or holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of stock of Colombia Goldfields entitled to vote at the meeting.

Authorized Capital

The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board, without further approval of its stockholders, is authorized to fix the relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each series of preferred stock. Such shares of preferred stock, if and when issued, may have rights, powers and preferences superior to those of the Delaware Common Stock. Similarly, the NRS provides that the articles of incorporation may prescribe, or vest authority in the board of directors to prescribe, the classes, series, voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class or series of stock without further approval of its stockholders. While there are no current plans, commitments or understandings, written or oral, to issue any preferred stock, in the event of any issuances, the holders of Delaware Common Stock will not have any preemptive or similar rights to acquire any preferred stock.

Amendment or Repeal of the Certificate of Reincorporation

Under the DGCL, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, amendments to the certificate of incorporation generally require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon, and if the amendment would increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any class or series or the par value of such shares or would adversely affect the rights, powers or preferences of such class or series, a majority of the outstanding stock of such class or series also would have to approve the amendment. In addition, the proposed Delaware Charter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote to amend provisions regarding the Board of Directors and indemnification of officers and directors.

Under the NRS, the board of directors of a Nevada corporation that has already issued stock must approve any proposed amendment to its articles of incorporation and declare its advisability. The proposed amendments must be approved by a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by each voting group, unless the articles of incorporation require a greater or lesser vote with respect to specified amendments. The Nevada Charter requires approval by a majority of the stockholders to amend the Nevada Charter.
 
33 of 38


Amendments to Bylaws

Under the DGCL, directors may amend the bylaws of a corporation only if such right is expressly conferred upon the directors in its certificate of incorporation. There is no provision in the NRS that proscribes amendments by the board of directors to a corporation's bylaws. The Delaware Charter permits a majority of the Colombia Goldfields Delaware Board to adopt, alter or amend the Delaware Bylaws, and permits stockholders to amend the Delaware Bylaws, subject to approval by a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock with the authority to vote thereon. The Nevada Bylaws requires the unanimous consent of the Colombia Goldfields Board, or approval by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock with the authority to vote thereon, to amend the Nevada Bylaws.

Summary of Certain Other Significant Differences Between Delaware and Nevada Corporate Laws

The following is a brief summary of certain other ways in which the NRS and DGCL differ and does not purport to be a complete statement of such laws.

Merger with Subsidiary

Under the DGCL, a parent corporation may merge into a subsidiary and a subsidiary may merge into its parent, without stockholder approval, where such parent corporation owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of capital stock of its subsidiary. The NRS permits such mergers without stockholder approval if 90% of each class of capital stock of the subsidiary is owned by the parent corporation.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The NRS and DGCL both provide that the board of directors may delegate certain of their duties to one or more committees elected by a majority of the board. A Delaware corporation can delegate to a committee of the board of directors, among other things, the responsibility of nominating candidates for election to the office of director, to fill vacancies on the board of directors, to reduce earned or capital surplus, and to authorize the acquisition of the corporation's own stock. Moreover, if the corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or the resolution of the board of directors creating the committee so permits, a committee of the board of directors may declare dividends and authorize the issuance of stock. Under the NRS, unless it is otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a committee of the board of directors has and may exercise the powers of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation.

Vote Required for Mergers

The NRS provides that the sale, lease, exchange or disposal of all of the assets of a Nevada corporation as well as any merger, consolidation or share exchange generally must be recommended by the Board of Directors and approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of each class of the stock of the corporation entitled to vote on such matters. Under the NRS, the vote of the stockholders of a Nevada corporation surviving a merger is not required if: (i) the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation will not substantially differ from its

articles of incorporation before the merger, (ii) each stockholder of the surviving corporation before the effective date will hold the same number of shares, with identical designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights immediately after the merger, (iii) the number of voting shares outstanding immediately after the merger, plus the number of voting shares issued as a result of the merger, will not exceed by more than twenty percent the total number of voting shares of the surviving entity outstanding immediately before the merger, and (iv) the number of participating shares outstanding immediately after the merger, plus the number of participating shares issuable as a result of the merger will not exceed by more than twenty percent the total number of participating shares outstanding immediately before the merger. The DGCL has a similar provision requiring stockholder approval in the case of the disposition of assets or a merger or a share exchange. The DGCL requires that either (i) no shares of common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares, securities or obligations convertible into such stock are to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger or (ii) the authorized unissued shares or the treasury shares of common stock of the surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger, plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other shares, securities or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan, do not exceed 20% of the shares of common stock of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger.

Stock Redemptions and Repurchases

Both Delaware and Nevada corporations may generally purchase or redeem their own shares of capital stock. Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation may purchase or redeem its own shares of capital stock, except when the capital of the corporation is impaired or when such purchase or redemption would cause any impairment of the capital of the corporation. Subject to any restrictions imposed by its articles of incorporation, a Nevada corporation may make distributions to stockholders, so long as, after giving effect to such distribution: (i) the corporation would be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (ii) the corporation's total assets would not be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus (unless the articles of incorporation permit otherwise), the amount that would be needed if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

Proxies

Under the DGCL, a proxy executed by a stockholder will remain valid for a period of three years unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Under the NRS, a proxy is effective only for a period of six (6) months, unless it is coupled with an interest or unless otherwise provided in the proxy which duration may not exceed seven (7) years.

Consideration for Stock

Under the NRS, a corporation may issue its capital stock in return for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the corporation, including but not limited to cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed, or other securities of the corporation. Under the DGCL, a corporation may accept as consideration for its stock a combination of cash, property or past services in an amount not less than the par value of the shares being issued, and a secured promissory note or other binding obligation executed by the subscriber for any balance, the total of which must equal at least the par value of the issued stock,
 
35 of 38

 
as determined by the board of directors.

Stockholders' Rights to Examine Books and Records

The DGCL provides that any stockholder of record may demand to examine the corporation's books and records for any proper purpose. If management of the corporation refuses, the stockholder can compel release of the books by court order. Under the NRS, any stockholder who owns at least 15% of the outstanding shares of the corporation's capital stock or has been authorized in writing by the holders of at least 15% of all its issued and outstanding shares may inspect, copy and audit the books of account and all financial records of the corporation. However, only a stockholder whose demand is made with a proper purpose may undertake any such inspection or audit. Under the NRS, if any officer or agent keeping records in Nevada refuses to allow a stockholder of a corporation to inspect or audit the corporation's books of account and financial records, the corporation and the officer or agent will be liable to the stockholder for all damages incurred by the stockholder, and the corporation may be liable for fines payable to the State of Nevada. There is no such corresponding provision in the DGCL.

Dividends

The DGCL provides that the corporation may pay dividends out of surplus, out the corporation's net profits for the preceding fiscal year, or both provided that there remains in the stated capital account an amount equal to the par value represented by all shares of the corporation's stock raving a distribution preference. The NRS provides that dividends may be paid, unless after giving effect to such distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or the corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities, plus (unless the corporation's articles of incorporation permit otherwise) the amount needed to satisfy preferential distributions.

Corporate Action Without a Stockholder Meeting

The DGCL and the NRS both permit corporate action without a meeting of stockholders upon the written consent of the holders of that number of shares necessary to authorize the proposed corporate action being taken, unless the certificate of incorporation or articles of incorporation, respectively, or the bylaws of a Nevada corporation expressly provide otherwise. In the event such proposed corporate action is taken without a meeting by less than the unanimous written consent of stockholders, the DGCL requires that prompt notice of the taking of such action be sent to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

Securities Act Consequences

The shares of Delaware Common Stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Colombia Goldfields Common Stock are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In that regard, Colombia Goldfields Delaware is relying on Rule 145(a)(2) under the 1933 Act, which provides that a merger which has "as its sole purpose" a change in the domicile of a corporation does not involve the sale of securities for purposes of the 1933 Act, and on interpretations of the Rule by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") which indicate that the making of certain changes in the surviving corporation's charter documents which could otherwise be made only with the approval of the stockholders of either corporation
 
36 of 38

 
does riot render Rule 145(a)(2) inapplicable.

After the Reincorporation, Colombia Goldfields Delaware will be a publicly-held company, Delaware Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and Colombia Goldfields Delaware will file periodic reports and other documents with the Commission and provide to its stockholders the same types of information that Colombia Goldfields has previously filed and provided. Stockholders whose Common Stock is freely tradable before the Reincorporation will have freely tradable shares of Delaware Common Stock. Stockholders holding restricted shares of Common Stock will have shares of Delaware Common Stock which are subject to the same restrictions on transfer as those to which their present shares of Common Stock are subject, and their stock certificates, if surrendered for replacement certificates representing shares of Delaware Common Stock, will bear the same restrictive legend as appears on their present stock certificates. For purposes of computing compliance with the holding period requirement of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, stockholders will be deemed to have acquired their shares of Delaware Common Stock on the date they acquired their shares of Colombia Goldfields Common Stock. In summary, Colombia Goldfields Delaware and its stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Reincorporation as were Colombia Goldfields and its stockholders prior to the Reincorporation.

Appraisal and Dissenters' Rights

Under the DGCL and the NRS, stockholders have appraisal or dissenter's rights, respectively, in the event of certain corporate actions such as a merger. These rights include the right to dissent from voting to approve such corporate action, and demand fair value for the shares of the dissenting stockholder. If a proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights is submitted to a vote at a stockholders' meeting, a stockholder who wishes to assert dissenter's rights (i) must deliver to the corporation, before the vote is taken, written notice of his intent to demand payment for his shares if the proposed action is effected, and (ii) must not vote his shares in favor of the proposed action. If fair value is unsettled, the DGCL and the NRS provide for the dissenter and the company to petition the Court of Chancery or a Nevada state court, respectively. Although appraisal or dissenter's rights are substantially similar in Delaware and Nevada, this discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the NRS which provide more specific provisions and requirements for dissenting stockholders.

Abandonment

Notwithstanding a favorable vote of the stockholders, Colombia Goldfields reserves the right, by action of the Colombia Goldfields Board, to abandon the Reincorporation prior to effectiveness of the Reincorporation if it determines that such abandonment is in the best interests of Colombia Goldfields. The Colombia Goldfields Board has made no determination as to any circumstances which may prompt a decision to abandon the Reincorporation.

After the Effective Date, each holder of an outstanding certificate representing shares of Nevada Common Stock may, at such stockholder's option, surrender the same to Delaware's registrar and transfer agent for cancellation, and each such holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate(s) evidencing the ownership of the same number of shares of Delaware Common Stock as are represented by the Nevada certificate(s) surrendered to Delaware's registrar and transfer agent.

the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designation, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such shares and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

C.  RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS OF COMMON STOCK.

1. Dividend Rights. Subject to the prior or equal rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior or equal rights as to dividends, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE V
Board of Directors

A.  MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS

The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal.

Subject to any limitation imposed by law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.
 
ARTICLE VI
Indemnification

A.  
EXCULPATION

A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is hereafter amended to further reduce or to authorize, with the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders, further reductions in the liability of the Corporation’s directors for breach of fiduciary duty, then a director of the Corporation shall not be liable for any such breach to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.

B.  
INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is also authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) such agents (and any other persons to which Delaware law permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, voting of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, subject only to limits created by applicable Delaware law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Corporation, its stockholders and others.
 

 
C.  
EFFECT OF REPEAL OR MODIFICATION

Any repeal or modification of any of the foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall be prospective and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director, officer, agent or other person existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.
 
ARTICLE VII
Preemptive Rights

No holder of shares of stock of the Corporation shall have any preemptive or other right, except as such rights are expressly provided by contract, to purchase or subscribe for or receive any shares of any class, or series thereof, of stock of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, or any warrants, options, bonds, debentures or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or carrying any right to purchase any share of any class, or series thereof, of stock; but such additional shares of stock and such warrants, options, bonds, debentures or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or carrying any right to purchase any shares of any class, or series thereof, of stock may be issued or disposed of by the Board of Directors to such persons, and on such terms and for such lawful consideration as in its discretion it shall deem advisable or as the Corporation shall have by contract agreed.

This certificate shall be effective as of June 23, 2006.

I, The Undersigned, for purpose of forming a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, do make, file and record the Certificate, and do certify that the facts herein stated are true, and I have accordingly hereunto set my hands this 23rd day of June, A.D. 2006.

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
 

 
(a) 
Violations of Law - The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of common stock under any Award if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Award, the Participant or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation any provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any other Federal or state securities laws or regulations. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Award, the issuance of shares pursuant thereto or the grant of an Award to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.
 
(b) 
Registration - At the time of any exercise or receipt of any Award, the Company may, if it shall determine it necessary or desirable for any reason, require the Participant (or Participant’s heirs, legatees or legal representative, as the case may be), as a condition to the exercise or grant thereof, to deliver to the Company a written representation of present intention to hold the shares for their own account as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of such shares, except in compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws with respect thereto. In the event such representation is required to be delivered, an appropriate legend may be placed upon each certificate delivered to the Participant (or Participant’s heirs, legatees or legal representative, as the case may be) upon the Participant's exercise of part or all of the Award or receipt of an Award and a stop transfer order may be placed with the transfer agent.

The Participant shall provide the Company with any certificates, representations and information that the Company requests and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, exemption, consent or approval that the Company deems necessary or appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercisability or vesting of an Award, to cause the exercise of an Award or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto, or to cause the grant of Award to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.
 
(c) 
Withholding - The Committee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes that the Company is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether Federal, state or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in connection with the grant or exercise of an Award, or the removal of restrictions on an Award including, but not limited to: (i) the withholding of delivery of shares of common stock until the holder reimburses the Company for the amount the Company is required to withhold with respect to such taxes, (ii) the canceling of any number of shares of common stock issuable in an

Each Award Agreement shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award granted and shall contain such provisions, as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms of each Award Agreement need not be identical for Eligible Individuals provided that all Award Agreements comply with the terms of the 2006 Plan.
 
(b) 
Purchase Price - To the extent the purchase price of any Award granted hereunder is less than par value of a share of common stock and such purchase price is not permitted by applicable law, the per share purchase price shall be equal to the par value of a share of common stock.
 
(c) 
Prospective Employees - Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Award granted to a Prospective Employee shall not become vested prior to the date the Prospective Employee first becomes an employee of the Company.
 
(d) 
Issuance of Certificates; Stockholder Rights - Colombia Goldfields, Ltd. shall deliver to the Participant a certificate evidencing the Participant's ownership of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award as soon as administratively practicable after satisfaction of all conditions relating to the issuance of such shares. A Participant shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such common stock prior to satisfaction of all conditions relating to the issuance of such common stock, and, except as expressly provided in the 2006 Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights of any kind for which the record date is prior to the date on which all such conditions have been satisfied. The Committee in its absolute and sole discretion may credit a Participant's Award with Dividend Equivalents with respect to any Awards. To the extent that dividends and distributions relating to an Award are held in escrow by the Company, or Dividend Equivalents are credited to an Award, a Participant shall not be entitled to any interest on any such amounts. The Committee may not grant Dividend Equivalents to an Award subject to performance-based vesting to the extent the grant of such Dividend Equivalents would limit the Company’s deduction of the compensation payable under such Award for Federal tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 162(m).
 
(e) 
Transferability of Awards - A Participant may not Transfer an Award other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Awards may be exercised during the

Any purported Transfer of an Award in contravention of the provisions of the 2006 Plan shall have no force or effect and shall be null and void, and the purported transferee of such Award shall not acquire any rights with respect to such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion permit the Transfer of an Award to a Participant's "family member" as such term is defined in the Form 8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, under such terms and conditions as specified by the Committee. In such case, such Award shall be exercisable only by the transferee approved of by the Committee.

(f) 
Buyout and Settlement Provisions - The Committee may at any time on behalf of Colombia Goldfields, Ltd. offer to buy out any Awards previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine which shall be communicated to the Participants at the time such offer is made.

Modification or Substitution of an Award - Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2006 Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding the following, no modification of an Award shall adversely affect any rights or obligations of the Participant under the applicable Award Agreement without the Participant's consent. The Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may rescind, modify, or waive any vesting requirements or other conditions applicable to an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without approval of the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields, Ltd., an Award may not be modified to reduce the exercise price thereof nor may an Award at a lower price be substituted for a surrender of an Award, provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 5 or Section 14, and (ii) if an Award is modified, extended or renewed and thereby deemed to be in issuance of a new Award under the Code or the applicable accounting rules, the exercise price of such Award may continue to be the original Exercise Price even if less than Fair Market Value of the common stock at the time of such modification, extension or renewal.
 
(i) 
Amendment and Termination of Plan - The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the 2006 Plan as to any shares of common stock as to which Awards have not been granted; provided, however, that the approval by a majority of the votes present and entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields, Ltd. at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting stock is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on
 

 
  the amendment, or by written consent in accordance with applicable state law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Colombia Goldfields, Ltd. shall be required for any amendment (i) that changes the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, (ii) that increases the maximum number of shares of common stock in the aggregate that may be subject to Awards that are granted under the 2006 Plan (except as permitted under Section 5 or Section 14 hereof), (iii) if approval of such amendment is necessary to comply with federal or state law (including without limitation Section 162(m) of the Code and Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) or with the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the common stock may be listed or traded, or (iv) if such amendment eliminates a requirement provided herein that the stockholders of Colombia Goldfields, Ltd. must approve an action to be undertaken under the Plan. Except as permitted under Section 5 or Section 14 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the 2006 Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of an Award, alter or impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted under the 2006 Plan. Awards granted prior to the termination of the 2006 Plan may extend beyond the date the 2006 Plan is terminated and shall continue subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan as in effect on the date the 2006 Plan is terminated.

(l) 
Disclaimer of Rights - No provision in the 2006 Plan, any Award granted or any Award Agreement entered into pursuant to the 2006 Plan shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ of or service with the Company or to interfere in any way with the right and authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the compensation of any individual, including any holder of an Award, at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual and the Company. The grant of an Award pursuant to the 2006 Plan shall
 

 
  not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
