EXPLANATORY NOTE

On December 19, 2014, Timberline Resources Corporation (the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to report the appointment of Kiran Patankar as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2015, following the resignation of  Paul Dircksen from the same position.  This amendment updates Item 5.02 in the Original Report to disclose additional information regarding compensation arrangements of Mr. Patankar.  No other changes have been made to the Original Report.

 
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
In relation to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, as disclosed in the Original Report, the Company granted Mr. Patankar 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“Inducement Shares”) and stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock (“Inducement Options”), to be issued outside the Company’s shareholder approved Amended 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”), with the issuance of the Inducement Shares and the Inducement Options being subject to necessary regulatory approvals.

On January 23, 2015, the NYSE MKT approved the issuance of the Inducement Shares.  However, due to unresolvable conflicts between the rules of the NYSE MKT and the TSX Venture Exchange regarding the issuance of the Inducement Options outside of the Equity Plan, the Company did not receive the necessary regulatory approvals for issuance of the Inducement Options and the Inducement Options will no longer be issued to Mr. Pantankar.  Instead, Mr. Patankar, who began his service as Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2015, is eligible to participate in the Equity Plan at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan, as previously disclosed.  To date, the Compensation Committee has granted Mr. Pantankar 34,189 options under the Equity Plan, exercisable at a price of $0.74 per share. Future issuances to Mr. Pantankar will be pursuant to shareholder approved equity incentive plans at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, will be priced at the time of any such issuance and will be issued pursuant to the disclosed terms and conditions of the shareholder approved plan under which they are issued.
