Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On  January  9,  2014,  Tara  Minerals  Corp.  entered  into an  Investment
Agreement with Panormus Trust and Investments Ltd. and Mediterranea  Trust Ltd.,
collectively referred to as MTI.

     The Agreement  grants MTI the right to invest in Tara Minerals  through the
purchase of up to U.S. $2,025,000 in the restricted common stock of Tara at U.S.
$0.30 per share and a targeted loan of U.S.  $4,725,000  for the  development of
the Don  Roman  project  (the "Don  Roman  Project  Loan").  The  investment  is
structured  as a  combination  of  a  private  placement  and  a  loan  for  tax
efficiency.

     The targeted  Don Roman  Project Loan will be used to advance the Don Roman
Project  to  commercial  production  and is  payable  from 49% of the net income
realized from the minerals  recovered from the concession  area of the Don Roman
Project.  Initially,  MTI's 49% net income  interest  will be designated as loan
repayment.  Once the loan has been repaid,  MTI will  continue to receive 49% of
the net income realized from the Don Roman Project.

     Tara Minerals and MTI will form a Management  Committee  which will oversee
operations based on a committee  approved  Business Plan. The loan proceeds will
be released from a segregated account based on approved expenditures.

     The Don Roman  Project  is 100%  owned by Tara and  located in the State of
Sinaloa, Mexico.
