Registrant, Varca Ventures, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wildcat Mining Corporation (collectively, the "Company") have appointed Mike Thompson interim Chief Operating Officer of the Company, effective as of July 1, 2012. Mr. Thompson will be primarily responsible for coordinating site remediation activities at the Company's May Day-Idaho Mine Complex in La Plata County, Colorado.

The Agreement terminates on February 1, 2013, unless both Mr. Thompson and the Board of Directors agree to renew Mr. Thompson's appointment, whether on the same or different terms than the Agreement.
