The following sets forth the information required by Item 701 of Regulation S-K with respect to the unregistered sales of equity securities by Magellan Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), completed October 17, 2012:

1.a.

Effective October 17, 2012, the Company completed the sale of 200,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock” or “Shares”) at $0.15 per share, which is the current market price, in consideration of $30,000 in cash.  

b.

The shares were issued to one (1) person who qualified as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.  The shares issued were “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the certificate evidencing same bears the Company’s customary restrictive legend.

c.

The Company paid no fees or commissions in connection with the issuance of the Shares.

 

d.

The sale of the Securities was undertaken without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Sections 4(2) thereunder.  In addition, the Securities, which were taken for investment purposes and not for resale, were subject to restrictions on transfer.  We did not engage in any public advertising or general solicitation in connection with this transaction, and we provided the investor with disclosure of all aspects of our business, including providing the investor with our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other financial, business and corporate information.  Based on our investigation, we believed that the accredited investor obtained all information regarding the Company that was requested, received answers to all questions posed and otherwise understood the risks of accepting our Securities for investment purposes.

e.

Not applicable.

f.

The proceeds of the sale will be used for working capital.
