Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 25, 2014, First Liberty Power Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Group8 Mining Innovations (“G8MI”) and Group8 Minerals (“G8 Minerals”), providing for, among other elements as fully detailed in Exhibit 10.1, the sale of G8MI’s remaining nineteen percent (19%) holding of the issued and outstanding shares of G8 Minerals to the Company. G8 Minerals holds a fifty percent (50%) interest in certain Nevada limited liability companies (the “G8Mineral Interests”), as follows: Stockpile Reserves, LLC, which holds the rights to exploit certain unpatented mining claims in Pershing County, Nevada, known as Fencemaker; Central Nevada Processing Co. LLC, which company presently is intending to submit permit applications for the operation of a milling and refining facility, and; SG8 Exploration, LLC, which company holds certain unpatented antimony focused mining claims in Pershing County, Nevada.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, G8MI sold its remaining nineteen percent (19%) of its interest in G8 Minerals to the Company. The Company had previously acquired eighty-one percent (81%) of the shares of G8 Minerals from G8MI in an agreement dated August 19, 2012; as of the date of this Agreement, the Company now owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of G8 Minerals, and therefore has a full 50% of each of the entities in the G8Mineral Interests. As consideration for this acquisition, the Company issued a total of 5,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock shares (“Preferred Shares”) to G8MI, which represents all authorized Series A Preferred Stock available for issuance.
Amongst other rights, as fully detailed in an 8-K filing on June 4, 2014, the Preferred Shares will provide G8MI the right to vote with the holders of common stock together as a single class, with G8MI having eighty (80) votes per share of Series A preferred stock and the holders of common stock having 1 vote per share of common stock. In total, the Preferred Shares presently represent 400,000,000 votes. The Preferred Shares are convertible, at any time, and/or from time to time, with each one (1) Series A Preferred share convertible into one (1) share of the Company's common stock. In total, the Preferred Shares may be converted into 5,000,000 common shares.
As a result of this transaction, and the August 19, 2012 transaction, whereby G8MI was issued 83,000,000 common shares of the Company, all of which G8MI presently holds, G8MI as an entity presently has control over 88,000,000 shares, representing 483,000,000 votes. As reported in the Company’s most recent 10-Q filing, as at June 5, 2014, there were 660,348,694 share of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 05, 2014.
G8MI has represented to the Company that it will be making all necessary disclosures under Sections 13d or 13g of the Exchange Act within the prescribed time frame, and any impacted officers or directors of the Company will be fulfilling their disclosure obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act within the prescribed time frame.

5.2 Arbitration and Governing Law. The parties hereby agree that any and all claims (except only for requests for injunctive or other equitable relief) whether existing now, in the past or in the future as to which the parties or any affiliates may be adverse parties, and whether arising out of this Agreement or from any other cause, will be resolved by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association within the State of Nevada.
|
|
a)
|
The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association and the status of the arbitration (and any requests for injunctive or other equitable relief) within the State of Nevada.

|
|
|
d)
|
Regardless of any practices of arbitration to the contrary, the arbitrator will apply the rules of contract and other law of the jurisdiction whose law applies to the arbitration so that the decision of the arbitrator will be, as much as possible, the same as if the dispute had been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
|
|
|
e)
|
Any award or decision by the American Arbitration Association shall be final, binding and non-appealable except as to errors of law or the failure of the arbitrator to adhere to the arbitration provisions contained in this agreement. Each party to the arbitration shall pay its own costs and counsel fees except as specifically provided otherwise in this agreement.
|
|
|
f)
|
In any adverse action, the parties shall restrict themselves to claims for compensatory damages andor securities issued or to be issued and no claims shall be made by any party or affiliate for lost profits, punitive or multiple damages.
|
|
|
g)
|
The parties covenant that under no conditions will any party or any affiliate file any action against the other (except only requests for injunctive or other equitable relief) in any forum other than before the American Arbitration Association, and the parties agree that any such action, if filed, shall be dismissed upon application and shall be referred for arbitration hereunder with costs and attorney's fees to the prevailing party.
|
|
|
h)
|
It is the intention of the parties and their affiliates that all disputes of any nature between them, whenever arising, whether in regard to this agreement or any other matter, from whatever cause, based on whatever law, rule or regulation, whether statutory or common law, and however characterized, be decided by arbitration as provided herein and that no party or affiliate be required to litigate in any other forum any disputes or other matters except for requests for injunctive or equitable relief. This agreement shall be interpreted in conformance with this stated intent of the parties and their affiliates.
|
The provisions for arbitration contained herein shall survive the termination of this agreement for any reason.
