Exhibit 10.1

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and
between Constance N. Knight, an individual resident of Colorado (“Seller”), and
True North Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”).

WHEREAS, Seller owns certain oil and gas interests and properties located in the
North West Colorado, with the geographic area more particularly described in the
highlighted area set forth on the diagram on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the
“Area of Mutual Interest”);

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, sell, assign, transfer, and convey and Buyer
desires to purchase and pay for the oil and gas interests, the properties and
the developed geologic concepts subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement;

NOWTHERFORE, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

1.    Establishment of Area of Mutual Interest. The parties to this Agreement
hereby agree to the establishment of the Area of Mutual Interest (“AMI”). Seller
currently owns the leases set forth on Exhibit “B” within the AMI (the “Existing
Leases”). Buyer may acquire additional interests within the AMI, (the “After
Acquired Interests”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “After Acquired
Interest” shall mean Buyer’s acquisition of any interest, real or personal,
tangible or intangible, direct or indirect, whether such interest is owned
outright by Buyer, beneficially, through another affiliated entity, joint
venture or through a participation agreement within the AMI. Such “After
Acquired Interests” may consist of leasehold interests, fee simple interests,
joint ventures, participation agreements, or other similar arrangements.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
2.    Sale and Purchase of the Properties. Subject to the terms and conditions
herein set forth, Seller agrees to sell, assign, convey and deliver to Buyer and
Buyer agrees to purchase and acquire from Seller at the Closing (defined in
Article 13, below) but effective as of 12:01 a.m., Central Daylight Time, on
June 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), all of Seller's right, title and interest
in each property set forth on Exhibit “B” together with all other interest, if
any, owned by Seller, in, to and under the Units, Wells, Leases, Rights of Way
and Easements and all contracts relating thereto; and as of the Closing Date,
all of Seller’s right, title and interest in any equipment located on or
appurtenant to a Lease and used exclusively in connection with the operation of
a Well, as well as all personal property, technical, geological, seismic and
other geophysical data (all of the Existing Leases set forth on Exhibit “B” as
well as the other interest and equipment referenced in this paragraph are
collectively referred to as the “Properties”). It is expressly understood that
the Properties include all oil and gas leases affecting lands and minerals owned
by Seller in whole or in part located in the Area of Mutual Interest along with
all producing and non-producing wells located thereon as well all oil and gas
wells and disposal wells together with any surface and down hole equipment, well
files for each well, tank batteries, heater treaters, compressors, flow lines,
pipelines and other equipment used in the transportation or treatment of oil and
gas, all pipe and other equipment, materials or supplies owned by Seller.
 
3.    Purchase Price and Transfer of Title.
 
3.1 The purchase price for the Properties is Sixty Dollars ($60.00) per acre,
together with an overriding royalty, (collectively referred to as the “Purchase
Price”) to be paid as follows:
 
3.1.1 Cash Consideration: Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per acre in cash, for a total
of Three hundred forty-five thousand, four hundred seventy-six and eighty cents
($345,476.80) paid to Seller by wire transfer at Closing (the “Cash
Consideration”);

3.1.2 Stock Consideration: Buyer restricted stock valued at the market close on
the date of the execution of this Agreement, less a thirty-five percent (35%)
discount and exchanged at a rate of Forty Dollars ($40.00) per acre (the “Stock
Consideration”) as more fully described below; and,
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
3.1.3 Overriding Royalty: An Overriding Royalty Interest (“ORRI”) on the
8/8ths mineral interest of both the Existing Leases and the After Acquired
Interests in accordance with the sliding scale set forth on Exhibit “C” attached
hereto and incorporated herein on all Interests acquired by Buyer within the AMI
as further defined in Section 1 hereinabove . If Buyer acquires a property by
lease or purchase that is located within the AMI and that property is producing
commercial quantities of oil and/or gas (a “Producing Property”), Buyer shall be
permitted to recoup its Acquisition Costs prior to paying the ORRI to Seller.
For purposes of this Section 3.1.3, the term “Acquisition Costs” means the
Purchase Price of the Producing Property, including broker commissions, title
insurance and closing costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the acquisition
of a Producing Property. In addition, the term Acquisition Costs shall include
the Acquisition Costs of any other property located within the AMI that is
acquired as part of the same transaction as the purchase of the Producing
Property. In the event Buyer acquires a Producing Property located within the
AMI and a non-producing property that is located outside of the AMI as part of
the same transaction, Buyer shall not be entitled to recoup the Acquisition
Costs of the non-producing property unless a separate agreement is negotiated
with Seller.
 
4.    Payment of Cash Consideration. The Cash Consideration shall be paid in
full by wire transfer at Closing. The Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the
amount of the funds advanced pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note and
Letter of Intent, together with any accrued interest. The Letter of Intent and
Promissory Note are attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit “D”. The
Promissory Note shall be marked “Paid in Full” at Closing and returned to Seller
at Closing.
 
5.    Payment of Stock Consideration. The amount of the Stock Consideration
shall be determined as follows:

(a).         Valuation of the Buyer Stock. The price per share of the Buyer’s
stock shall be determined (the “Valuation”) as of the market close on the date
of the execution of this Agreement.

(b).         Discount of Buyer Stock. The Valuation shall be reduced by the
thirty-five percent (35%) discount to determine the price per share for the
Stock Consideration (the “Contract Price”). The Buyer’s stock shall be issued to
Seller based upon the Contract Price at Forty Dollars ($40.00) per acre.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c).         Example. Assuming the market close on the date of execution of this
Agreement is Two dollars ($2.00) per share, the Contract Price would be One
Dollar and thirty cents ($1.30) per share. For 17,273.4 acres at Forty Dollars
($40.00) per acre, the amount of the stock Seller would acquire is Six hundred
ninety thousand, nine hundred fifty-three and sixty cents ($690,953.60) at One
Dollar and thirty cents ($1.30) per share, or 531,503 shares.

6.             Payment of ORRI. Upon acquisition of an After Acquired Interest
within the AMI, Buyer will convey to Seller an ORRI in the After Acquired
Interest. Such conveyance will be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit
“C” and Exhibit “F”. The royalty interests conveyed to shall:

 
6.1
provide that Seller not bear gathering, transportation, processing, treatment
and other costs of marketing production from the Properties, unless agreed to in
writing by Seller; and

 

 
6.2
 Buyer will take such additional steps as necessary to reflect the conveyance in
the records of the Federal Bureau of Land Management.

7.    Timing for Initiation of Development. Buyer shall have four years from the
date of the execution of this Agreement to undertake development of the AMI. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “development of the AMI” means that Buyer,
its affiliates or assigns have undertaken an operation to spudd a well,
re-complete an existing well or deepen an existing well within the AMI within
the first four years following date of the execution of this Agreement. If Buyer
has not undertaken development of the AMI within four years of the execution of
the Purchase Agreement, the Leases will revert to Seller.
