Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, Goldstrike Inc. (the "Company") is currently
engaged in discussions with Gran Tierra Energy Inc. ("Gran Tierra") regarding
the possibility of a business combination (the "Merger") involving the two
companies. At this stage, no definitive terms have been agreed to, and neither
party is currently bound to proceed with the Merger.
Gran Tierra is a private international oil and gas exploration and
production company, incorporated in Alberta, Canada in January 2005. Gran Tierra
identified and secured a commitment to acquire producing and non-producing
properties in Argentina, which acquisition closed on September 1, 2005, for a
cost of approximately $7,000,000 (the "Argentine Acquisition").
To facilitate the Merger discussions, the Company determined to provide
financing to Gran Tierra to enable Gran Tierra to consummate the Argentine
Acquisition. The Company derived the funds necessary to provide this financing
from the proceeds of the September 1, 2005 initial closing of a private offering
of its securities, as is described in greater detail under "Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities," below. There was an additional closing
(the "Second Closing") of the private offering as of October 7, 2005, as
discussed in Item 3.02.
The Company's financing (the "Bridge Loan") of the Argentine Acquisition
was evidenced by a loan agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement"), dated as of
September 1, 2005, pursuant to which the Company agreed to make loans to Gran
Tierra in an amount of up to the proceeds of its private offering (the "Loan
Commitment"). On the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, Gran Tierra
borrowed $6,665,198.30 under the Bridge Loan Agreement). Effective the date of
the Second Closing, the Loan Commitment was increased from $8,337,916 to
$9,353,492, and Grand Tierra borrowed an additional $800,000 under the Bridge
Loan Agreement. The balance of the Loan Commitment may not be drawn down by Gran
Tierra prior to November 1, 2005 without the Company's Consent.
Section 3 - Securities and Trading Markets
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As previously reported, effective September 1, 2005, the Company had the
initial closing of a private placement of units ("Units") of its securities. The
offering was conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration
requirements of the federal securities laws provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Rule 506 of
Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each Unit consisted of one share of
common stock ("Common Stock") and one common stock purchase warrant
("Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one-half a share of
Common Stock for an exercise price of $0.625 per one-half share, and is
exercisable for a five year period from the date of issuance. The Units were
offered at a price of $0.80 per Unit. The Units were offered and sold only to
"accredited investors," as that term is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, and
to persons who were neither resident in, nor citizens of, the United States.

Effective October 7, 2005 the Company conducted the second closing of the
offering. The Company derived $1,015,576 from the sale of 1,269,470 Units in the
second closing. The Company paid sales commissions aggregating $52,178 in
connection with the offering.
The proceeds derived from the second closing of the offering were used to
increase the amount of the Loan Commitment to Gran Tierra, as described in "Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement," above.
