ITEM 3.02

UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On July 1, 2016 Magellan Gold Corporation (the “Company”) signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Gulf+Western Industries, Inc. a Nevada corporation and majority-owned subsidiary of the Company (“G+W”), and Magellan Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into G+W with G+W as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Articles of Merger were filed with and accepted by the Nevada Secretary of State on July 15, 2016. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Under the terms of the Merger, shares of G+W Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, excluding any such shares currently held by Company, were converted into the right to receive 8,623,957 shares of Common Stock of Magellan, $.001 par value per share (the "Magellan Common Stock"). Those shares are owned exclusively by W. Pierce Carson, the Company’s President.

Following and giving effect to the Merger, the minority interest in G+W was eliminated and G+W became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
