Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 10, 2021, Dakota Territory Resource Corp. ("Dakota Territory" or the "Company") entered into an amended and restated agreement and plan of merger (the "Amended Agreement") with JR Resources Corp. ("JR Resources"), DGC Merger Sub I Corp., a Nevada corporation and a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of JR Resources ("Merger Sub 1"), and DGC Merger Sub II LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of JR Resources ("Merger Sub 2"). The Amended Agreement amended and restated the agreement and plan of merger between the Company, JR Resources, and certain other entities, dated May 13, 2021.

Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, JR Resources and Dakota Territory wish to effect a strategic business combination by means of (i) a merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into Dakota Territory (the "First Merger"), with Dakota Territory being the surviving corporation in the First Merger (the "Surviving Corporation"); and (ii) a merger of Surviving Corporation with and into Merger Sub 2 (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers"), with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity in the Second Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JR Resources.

On or before completion of the Mergers: (i) JR Resources will have changed its name to Dakota Gold Corp.; (ii) JR Resources will have completed a reverse stock split such that the total number of JR Resources shares will be proportionately reduced to 35,641,667 JR Resources shares; (iii) shareholders of Dakota Territory other than JR Resources will receive one share of common stock of JR Resources for each share of common stock of Dakota Territory; (iv) each outstanding option to purchase Dakota Territory common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of JR Resources common stock in the manner set forth in the Amended Agreement; and (v) each outstanding award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Dakota Territory common stock will be assumed and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units representing a right to receive a number of shares of JR Resources common stock in the manner set forth in the Amended Agreement.

The completion of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including securities law compliance and the approval of Dakota Territory shareholders. In addition, in connection with the Mergers, JR Resources intends to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will require the approval of the SEC.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Mergers. Jonathan Awde abstained from voting on the Mergers, having disclosed his interest as President, CEO, a director and a shareholder of JR Resources. Robert Quartermain abstained from voting, having disclosed his interest as a shareholder of JR Resources.
