Item 8.01   Other Events

     On September 13, 2010,  Tara Gold  Resources  Corp.  announced  that it had
entered into a tentative  agreement with Tara Minerals Corp. which provided Tara
Minerals would acquire all of the outstanding  shares of Tara Gold by exchanging
one share of Tara Mineral's common stock for two Tara Gold shares.

     Following Tara Gold's announcement, the law firm of Umeda Robbins used Tara
Gold's public trading symbol to announce that it had commenced an  investigation
into the  potential  acquisition  of Tara Gold by Tara  Minerals in an effort to
ensure fair value would be received by Tara Gold shareholders.

     On September 20, 2010 Chris  Columbo filed a lawsuit in the District  Court
for Carson City Nevada,  against Tara Gold,  Tara Gold's  officers and directors
and Tara  Minerals.  The essence of the lawsuit was to obtain the fairest  price
for Tara Gold,  whether from Tara Minerals or a third party. On October 25, 2010
the lawsuit against Tara Gold and other defendants was voluntarily dismissed.

     Following  the  dismissal  of the  lawsuit,  the  attorneys  for Tara  Gold
contacted Mr. Columbo and learned that Mr. Columbo had not authorized the filing
of the lawsuit against Tara Gold.

     Mr. Columbo supplied Tara Gold with an affidavit  regarding his involvement
with the lawsuit, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this report.
