ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On January 21, 2010, we entered into an assignment agreement with Murrayfield
Limited, a United Kingdom company, in regards to the acquisition of a working
interest in an oil and gas lease in Willacy County, Texas, known as the "Sauz
Ranch Prospect".

Miramar Petroleum Inc. and Murrayfield had entered into an assignment of oil and
gas lease dated August 28, 2009 pursuant to a lease purchase and development
agreement dated August 5, 2009, wherein Murrayfield had acquired from Miramar
the "Assigned Working Interest" as defined therein, in regards to a leasehold
interest in Willacy County, Texas. Murrayfield has assigned its interest in the
lease to American Eagle for $137,500, which consists of the turnkey costs paid
by Murrayfield to Miramar for the acquisition of its interest.

With the assignment agreement, American Eagle has acquired a 12.5% working
interest in an oil and gas lease in Willacy County, Texas (the "Assigned Working
Interest"). The lands covered by the lease consist of 908 acres, out of the San
Juan de Carrieitos, Willacy County, Texas, which covers an undivided 29/32nd of
the mineral estate. The area is also subject to another oil and gas lease owned
by Exxon Mobil Corporation for the remaining 3/32nds.

The foregoing description of the assignment agreement is qualified entirely by
reference to the copy of said agreement attached as an exhibit to this current
report on Form 8-K.
