Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 30, 2007, Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with TA Properties (Canada) Ltd. (“TA Properties”) pursuant to which TA Properties agreed to lease to the Company office space at 1111 West Georgia Street in the City of Vancouver, Province of British Columbia for a term of seven (7) years commencing August 1, 2007 and terminating July 31, 2014 (the “Term”).

Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, the Company is required to pay to TA Properties yearly and every year during the Term, as rent, the sum of $123,682 (Canadian dollars) in equal monthly installments of $10,306.83 (Canadian dollars), each in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, the first payment to be made on August 1, 2007 and ending on July 31, 2012 (the “Basic Rent”). Commencing on August 1, 2012 and continuing until July 31, 2014, the Basic Rent shall be increased to $128,439 (Canadian dollars) per annum, payable in equal monthly installments of $10,703.25 (Canadian dollars) each, in advance, on the first day of each month commencing on August 1, 2012 and ending on July 31, 2014.

In addition, the Company shall pay to TA Properties yearly and every year during the Term as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”): (1) the amounts of any taxes payable by the Company to TA Properties pursuant to the provisions of Schedule “C” of the Lease Agreement, and (2) the amounts required to be paid to TA Properties pursuant to the provisions of Schedule “D” of the Lease Agreement. The Additional Rent payable by the Company shall be paid in equal monthly installments in advance at the same time as payment of Basic Rent is due hereunder based on TA Properties’ estimate as aforesaid.

The Company shall also pay to TA Properties, at the same time or times as the Company shall make payment of Rent (as defined in the Lease Agreement), all Goods and Services Tax applicable to such Rent pursuant to the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and any other similar goods and services tax, value added tax or multi-staged tax whether imposed by the federal government or otherwise.


Upon the occurrence of an event of default (as set forth in the Lease Agreement), TA Properties shall have the right, with respect to unpaid overdue Rent, to the payment by the Company of the Rent and of interest thereon at a rate equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) above the prime commercial loan rate charged to borrowers having the highest credit rating from time to time by TA Properties’ principal bank from the date upon which the same was due until actual payment thereof and the maximum amount allowed under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the leased premises is located.

The foregoing summary of the Lease Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.
