OR ANY OTHER PERSON.
 
MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Colombia Goldfields Ltd. (the “Company”) for use at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company, or any adjournments thereof. The meeting will be held at 3273 E.

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 Financial Officer, James Kopperson, # 208-8 King Street East Toronto, Ontario M5C 1B5.
 
QUORUM
 
The presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of one-third (1/3) of the shares entitled to vote 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 for director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election, either present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, at a meeting at which a quorum is present. 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 Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP as auditors for the Company and approval to amend the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive 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.

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 19, 2007, there were an aggregate of 65,816,849 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

5

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

Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors. Each of the committees has authority to engage legal or other advisors or consultants as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities.

AUDIT AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

 
24

 
integrity of our financial statements and internal controls, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the review and approval of transactions with related persons, the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence and the performance of our internal audit function.
 
 
In connection with this Annual Report, our board of directors:
 
 
·  Met with our independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the overall scope and plans for their respective audits, the results of their examinations and their evaluations of our internal controls;

 
·  Reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report;

 
·  Discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees), as modified and supplemented; and

 
·  Received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committee), as modified and supplemented, and discussed with them matters relating to their independence.
 
The Board of Directors resolved that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, for filing with the SEC.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The primary responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are: (a) assist the Board in establishing the annual goals and objectives of the chief executive officer; (b) recommend to the independent members of the Board the compensation of the chief executive officer; (c) oversee the performance evaluation of the Company’s other executive officers and approve their compensation; (d) oversee and advise the Board on the adoption of policies that govern the Company’s compensation programs; (e) oversee the Company’s administration of its equity-based compensation and other benefit plans; and (f) approve grants of equity compensation awards under the Company’s stock plan. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation paid to non-employee directors, and makes recommendations to the Board for any
 
25

 
adjustments. The Compensation Committee Charter describes the specific responsibilities and functions of the Compensation Committee.

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE

The primary responsibilities of the Environmental Heath and Safety Committee are: (a) to establish and oversee the Company’s Environmental, Health and Safety Policy and if appropriate recommend changes to the Board of Directors; (b) review and oversee the Environmental, Health and Safety Policy and ensure that the Company’s and its affiliates are following the policy; (c) review the Company’s reports or its affiliates on matters related to Environmental, Health and Safety; (d) if necessary, institute special investigations and if appropriate, hire special counsel or experts to assist; and (e) review and reassess the adequacy of the Charter annually and recommend changes to the Board for approval. The Environmental Heath and Safety Committee Charter describes the specific responsibilities and functions of the Committee.

NOMINATING 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.

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.

26

 
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, 2006, the Board did not formally meet, however business matters were approved by 26 consent resolutions which in each case was signed by each of the members of the Board then serving.

PROPOSAL NO. 3
APPROVAL OF AMENDEDMENTS TO 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
 
Subject to stockholder approval, the Board of Directors has approved amendments to the Colombia Goldfields Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) to: (i) increase the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2006 Plan by 1,500,000 shares to a total of 6,500,000 shares (the "Increase Change"); (ii) provide that the Board may not amend the 2006 Plan without the approval of the Stockholders if the amendment reduces the exercise price of or extends the term of an option held by a director, officer or person who owns more than 10% of the Shares (the "Amendment Change"); and (iii) provide that, except if not permitted by applicable regulatory authorities, if any Award may not be exercised due to a black-out period self-imposed by the Company or if after a black-out period the Optionee has fewer than 10 business days until the expiry date of any vested Option, the term of such Award may be extended to a date which expires 10 business days following the end of such black-out period (the "Black-out Change"); (iv) provide that (a) the number of Shares issuable to directors, officers or persons who own more than 10% of the Shares, at any time, under all security-based compensation arrangements including the 2006 Plan, cannot exceed 10% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares; and (b) the number of Shares issued to directors, officers or persons who own more than 10% of the Shares, within any one year period, under all security-based compensation arrangements including the 2006 Plan, cannot exceed 10% of issued and outstanding Shares; and (v) expand the definition of "Eligible Individual" under the 2006 Plan to include bona fide consultants to the Company.

28

 
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

The Board has determined that, in order to give the Company the ability to attract and retain the executive and key employee talent necessary for the Company’s continued growth and success, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2006 Plan should be increased by 1,500,000 shares and is proposing the Increase Change to affect such increase.
 
The 2006 Plan, as presently constituted, provides the Board with the general power to amend the 2006 Plan at any time in any respect without the approval of our stockholders, provided however, that the stockholders must approve any amendment which increases the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to 2006 Plan and certain other fundamental matters for which stockholder approval is required. Regulatory requirements applicable to the Company also require that for the amendment provisions in the plan to continue to be operable without stockholder approval, the plan must also provide that any amendment that reduces the exercise price of an option held by a director, officer or 10% stockholder or extends the term of an option held by a director, officer or 10% stockholder must also be approved by stockholders. The Amendment Change will permit the Board to continue to be able to make many types of amendments without the need to first obtain Stockholder approval, for example: (a) amendments of a “housekeeping” or ministerial nature including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in the 2006 Plan or to correct or supplement any provision of the 2006 Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the 2006 Plan; (b) amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of any stock exchange upon which the Shares are listed); (c) amendments respecting administration of the 2006 Plan; (d) any amendment to the vesting provisions of the 2006 Plan or any Award; (e) any amendment to the early termination provisions of the 2006 Plan or any Award, whether or not such Award is held by a director, officer or 10% stockholder, provided such amendment does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; (f) the addition of any form of financial assistance by the Company for the acquisition by all or certain categories of participants under the 2006 Plan, and the subsequent amendment of any such provision which is more favorable to participants; (g) the addition or modification of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or shares, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying shares from the 2006 Plan reserve; (h) amendments necessary to suspend or terminate the 2006 Plan; and (i) any other amendment, whether fundamental or otherwise, not requiring shareholder approval under applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of any stock exchange upon which the Shares are listed ).

The Black-out Change would permit options that would otherwise expire during a Company imposed black-out period or result in the Optionee having fewer than 10 business days until the
 
29

 
expiry date of any vested Option to be extended so as to permit the holder to exercise the option for a period which is the 10th business day following the expiry of the black-out period.

The Company also wishes to amend the Plan to restrict the number of Shares issued and issuable to directors, officers or persons who own more than 10% of the Shares such that (a) the number of Shares issuable to directors, officers or persons who own more than 10% of the Shares, at any time, under all security based compensation arrangements including the 2006 Plan, cannot exceed 10% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares; and (b) the number of Shares issued to directors, officers or persons who own more than 10% of the Shares, within any one year period, under all security based compensation arrangements including the 2006 Plan, cannot exceed 10% of issued and outstanding Shares. Under applicable regulatory requirements, this change to the 2006 Plan will permit directors, officers or persons who own more than 10% of the Shares to vote in respect of future amendments to the 2006 Plan requiring Stockholder approval, failing these amendments, they would otherwise be excluded from voting.

Further it is proposed that the definition of "Eligible Individual" under the 2006 Plan be expanded so as to permit the Company greater flexibility to grant Awards under the 2006 Plan to bona fide consultants to the Company.

  REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

 
The Board believes that equity-based incentives align the interests of management, consultants and stockholders.  Equity grants are an important element in attracting and retaining management and consultants.  Given the intense competition for talented individuals, the Company’s ability to offer competitive compensation packages, including those with equity-based incentives is particularly important.  It is the Company’s practice to grant options to executives as they are retained and when the annual performance-based compensation review is completed.
 
The Amendment Change and the Black-out Change are being proposed to provide the Company with greater flexibility in the administration of the 2006 Plan.
 
GENERAL

In January 2006, we adopted the Colombia Goldfield Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares and performance units, and stock awards our officers,
 
30

 
directors or employees of, as well as advisers and consultants. This plan was confirmed by the stockholders of our Company on July 31, 2006 at the annual shareholders meeting.

Under the 2006 Colombia Goldfield Ltd. Stock Incentive Plan, we initially reserved 3,500,000 shares of common stock for the granting of options and rights. In June 2006, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Colombia Goldfields Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive 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 to five million (5,000,000) shares. Such options and rights are to be granted at or above the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. All stock options and rights are to vest over a period as determined by the board of directors and expire not more than ten years from the date of granted.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2006 PLAN

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 A. 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.

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.

31

 
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 presently 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. If the proposed amendment is approved, 1,500,000 additional Shares will be immediately available for future awards under 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 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, 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
 
32

 
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.
 
The Company’s option agreements with its option holders provide for accelerated vesting upon a 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 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
 
33

 
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.

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. Each Award shall also be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of the shares thereunder, the Award may not be exercised in whole or in part and the restrictions on an Award may not be removed unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion. 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.
 
14

 
(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 amount sufficient to reimburse the Company for the amount it is required to so withhold, (iii) withholding the amount due from any such person's wages or compensation due to such person, or (iv) requiring the Participant to pay the Company cash in the amount the Company is required to withhold with respect to such taxes.

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.
 
15

 
(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 Participant's lifetime only by the Participant.

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) that reduces the exercise price of an Option held by a director, officer or person who owns more than 10% of the Shares, (iv) that extends the term of an Option held by a director, officer or person who owns more than 10% of the Shares, (v) 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 (vi) 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.
 
(m)

(o)  
Other Benefits - No Award payment under the 2006 Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any agreement between a Participant and the Company, nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of the Company now or subsequently in effect under which benefits are based upon a Participant's level of compensation.
