Exhibit 10.1

AGREEMENT TO ACCEPT COLLATERAL

IN FULL SATISFACTION OF OBLIGATIONS

THIS AGREEMENT TO ACCEPT COLLATERAL IN FULL SATISFACTION OF OBLIGATIONS (“Agreement”) is made and entered into, effective March 31, 2020 (“Effective Date”) by and between the undersigned noteholders (hereinafter each is referred to as “Lender” or “Secured Party” and collectively “Lenders” or “Secured Parties”), JOHN GIBBS, as Collateral Agent, and MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Debtor” or as the “Corporation”).

RECITALS

A. For good and valuable consideration, Debtor executed and delivered the Promissory Notes listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Notes”) in favor of the creditors listed on Exhibit A (each a “Creditor”). As of the date hereof, Debtor is indebted under the Notes (and all documents delivered pursuant thereto) in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A hereto, principal and interest, plus costs and expenses of collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees (the “Debtor’s Indebtedness”).

B. The obligations of Debtor to the Creditors under the Notes are secured by a Stock Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement (“Stock Pledge”)from Debtor to Creditors covering 100 shares of common stock of Magellan Acquisition Corporation and one (1) share of Minerales Vane 2 S.A. de CV (the “Collateral”). The Collateral is held under a Collateral Agent Agreement dated November 30, 2017 (“Collateral Agent Agreement”) pursuant to which John Gibbs was appointed Collateral Agent for the Creditors.

D. The aforementioned Notes and Stock Pledge Agreements and any documents or instruments incorporated therein or executed by and between the Creditors and the Debtor in connection therewith are referred to herein collectively as the “Loan Documents”.

E. The Notes matured and became due and payable on December 31, 2019 and remain unpaid. As a result, Debtor is in default of its obligations to Creditors under the Loan Documents.

F. As provided and permitted by the Loan Documents, Lender accelerated Debtor’s Indebtedness.

G. Debtor is unable to meet the demand of Creditors for full satisfaction of its obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents.

H. Creditors and Debtor have agreed to Creditors’ acceptance of the Collateral in full satisfaction of Debtor’s Indebtedness, in a manner which complies with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code now in effect in the State of Colorado.

I. The Lender or Secured Party and the Debtor acknowledge that the current market value of the Collateral does not exceed the total monetary obligation of the Debtor that is currently due and payable as a result of Debtor’s default of its obligations to Creditors under the Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, as well as the covenants and representations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lender and Debtor hereby agree as follows:

(1) RECITALS AND THIRD PARTY BENEFICARIES. The above recitals are acknowledged by the parties to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference as substantive provisions of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that Creditors shall be deemed express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

(2) MODIFICATION OF NOTES. Lenders each agree to unconditionally and irrevocably waive any entitlement or right to receive payment of (i) the initial 10% Financing Fee included in the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the 5% Rollover Fee agreed to by Debtor pursuant to the Allonge and Modification Agreement dated March 12, 2019 and (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest, due under the Notes. Debtor’s Indebtedness shall be deemed for all purposes to be reduced by the amount of obligations waived pursuant to this paragraph 2 and Debtor shall be forgiven for any obligation or liability for the amounts so waived by Lenders.

(3) ACCEPTANCE OF COLLATERAL IN FULL SATISFACTION OF DEBTOR’S INDEBTEDNESS.

(a) Debtor hereby transfers and assigns to Collateral Agent, as agent for the Lenders, all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral. Debtor shall have no further interest in the Collateral.

(4) WAIVER OF RIGHT TO NOTIFICATION OF DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL, WAIVER OR RIGHT TO RQUIRE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL, AND WAIVER OF RIGHT TO REDEEM COLLATERAL. Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes Section 4-9-624(a)(b)(c), Debtor hereby waives its right to notification of disposition of Collateral under Section 4-9-611, waives its right to require disposition of Collateral under Section 4-9-620(e), and waives its right to redeem the Collateral under Section 4-9-623 of the UCC.

(5) DISCHARGE OF COLLATERAL AGENT

(a) By the execution of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent hereby transfers and Assigns to each Lender such Lender’s proportionate share of the Collateral, based upon the principal amount of each Lender’s Note. Each Lender shall hold such proportionate interest as tenant-in-common with each other Lender. Lenders shall have no right to partition the Collateral. All decisions regarding the exercise of rights to transfer or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral shall be made by Lenders holding a Majority in Interest of the Notes. For the purposes hereof, “Majority in Interest” shall mean holders of Notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than 50%.

(6) AGREEMENT OF DEBTOR. Debtor agrees to the following:

The Collateral is located, stored or maintained by Debtor at locations or locations throughout the United States and some foreign jurisdictions.

(d) NO TRANSFER OF COLLATERAL.
