As a condition to the Amendment, Tonogold will make an additional non-refundable cash deposit of $300,000 and provided for an additional, non-refundable stock-based fee with a stated value of $250,000. With this extension, Tonogold will have paid non-refundable cash deposits totaling $4.225 million plus $5 million in non-refundable Convertible Preferred Stock (“CPS”).
