Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective December 31, 2010, Athena Silver Corporation (“Athena”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with John C. Power, Athena’s CEO and John D. Gibbs, a significant investor (together “Buyers”), effective December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,  the Buyers  purchased from Athena all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Athena’s wholly-owned subsidiary Golden West Brewing Company, a California corporation (“GWBC”) for cash consideration of $100.

GWBC was formed in November 2003 for the purpose of acquiring and operating Athena’s former microcraft brewery operations in Chico, California, which were discontinued in 2009. Subsequently, GWBC operated Athena’s outsourced brewing operations which were discontinued effective January 1, 2010. GWBC has nominal assets and debt and other liabilities totaling approximately $1.0 million.

The Purchase Agreement also provides for Athena to issue to Buyers 2.5 million shares of Athena’s common stock as consideration for the Buyers’ agreement to indemnify and hold harmless Athena against any liability or obligation for GWBC’s debts in accordance with the terms of an Indemnity Agreement, and Amendment No. 1 to Indemnity Agreement, each dated effective December 31, 2010 between Athena and the Buyers. Athena also agreed to forgive all intercompany debt owed by GWBC as additional consideration for the Indemnity Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

The above summary is qualified by reference to the text of the Purchase Agreement that is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and the Indemnity Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and Amendment No.1 to Indemnity Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective December 31, 2010, Athena completed the sale of GWBC to Buyers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for cash consideration of $100. Effective December 31, 2010, Athena issued 2.5 million common shares to the Buyers as consideration for the Buyers’ agreement to indemnify Athena against any liability or obligation for GWBC’s debts in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and Amendment No. 1 thereto each dated effective December 31, 2010 between Athena and the Buyers.

ATHENA SILVER CORPORATION

  PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)


On December 31, 2010, Athena Silver Corporation (“Athena”) completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary Golden West Brewing Company, a California corporation (“GWBC”) for cash consideration of $100 (the “Asset Disposition”) to John C. Power, Athena’s CEO and John D. Gibbs, a significant investor (together “Buyers”).

Athena issued 2.5 million common shares to the Buyers as consideration for the Buyers’ agreement to indemnify Athena against any liability or obligation for GWBC’s debts in accordance with the terms of an Indemnity Agreement dated December 31, 2010 between Athena and the Buyers. Athena also agreed to forgive all intercompany debt owed by GWBC as additional consideration for the Indemnity Agreement.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 assumes that the Asset Disposition took place on January 1, 2009, the first day of Athena’s fiscal year 2009.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet assumes that the Asset Disposition took place on September 30, 2010.

The historical Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Athena have been adjusted in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Asset Disposition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Athena’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position or Results of Operations actually would have been had the Asset Disposition been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Athena.  Unaudited  Pro Forma  Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with Athena’s historical Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on May 4, 2010 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September  30, 2010, filed with the SEC on November 18, 2010.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


1.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Athena shall grant and issue to Indemnitors, as tenants in common, an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of Athena common stock (the “Athena Shares”).  The Athena Shares are and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and the certificate evidencing such shares shall bear the customary restrictive legend under Rule 144.


2.

In consideration of the Athena Shares, Gibbs and Power, individually, jointly and severally, for themselves,  their successors and assigns, (“Indemnitors”) hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Athena, together with its officers and directors (exclusive of Power), shareholders (exclusive of Gibbs and Power), subsidiaries,  agents, representatives, successors and assigns, (“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, obligations and damages of whatsoever kind or description, known or unknown, direct or indirect, at law or in equity, whether now existing or arising in the future, including any and all judgments and/or awards to which they may become subject under any federal, state or local statute, rule regulation or order, or at common law or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with its former ownership and control of Golden West, or any act or omission related thereto,  and the Indemnitors further agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitees against any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and costs incurred and related to the foregoing.





3.

Upon the occurrence of any event which would give rise to a claim by Indemnitees against, or to a rights of defense and indemnity against Indemnitor hereunder, or in the event that any suit, action, proceeding, investigation or claim is begun, made or instituted as a result of which Indemnitor may become obligated to Indemnitees hereunder, Indemnitees shall give written notice to Indemnitor of the occurrence of such event and shall identify Indemnitees’ choice of counsel to represent such  investigation, claim or proceedings, provided that the failure of Indemnitees to give notice  shall not affect the indemnification obligations of Indemnitor hereunder.  Indemnitees shall have the exclusive right to so defend, contest or protect against such matter utilizing the counsel of Indemnitees’ choice (who shall be reasonably acceptable to Indemnitor). Indemnitor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of their choice.  Indemnitees shall not pay, acknowledge, compromise or settle any such claim without the consent of Indemnitor, unless such payment, acknowledgment, compromise or settlement results in a full and complete release and discharge of Indemnitor from any liability.


4.

All expenses incurred by Indemnitees for which indemnification hereunder is provided and after any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, or a settlement shall have been consummated, Indemnitees shall forward to Indemnitor written notice of any sums due and owing by them pursuant to this Agreement and Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums due and owing to Indemnitees within ten days of such notice.
