Exhibit 10.19

TERMINATION OF CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Termination of Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of
June 18, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) by Desert Hawk Gold Corp. (the “Company”)
and Eric L. Moe (“Consultant”).   The Company and the Consultant are each a
“Party” and collective the “Parties” as designated in this Agreement.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, on or about September 1, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement dated September 1, 2010, with the Consultant, which agreement was
amended on May 3, 2011 (as amended, the “Consulting Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Consultant has also served as a director of the Company since 2010;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Consultant have diligently sought to develop the
Company’s mining properties and specifically to obtain the necessary permits to
commence development operations;

WHEREAS, the Company has received tentative approval to commence large mining
operations for its Kiewit Project as set forth in state permit M/045/0078 (the
“Mining Permit”) and anticipates obtaining the necessary operating permits in
2013;

WHEREAS, in conjunction with the proposed future funding of the Company’s Gold
Hill mining project  by DMRJ Group I, LLC or its designee (the “Funding
Parties”) following receipt of the necessary mining permits, the Company and
Consultant have decided to terminate the Consulting Agreement and to provide
Consultant with a severance benefit as mutually agreed herein but different than
provided in the Consulting Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions set forth
herein, and in compliance with Section 14(d) of the Consulting Agreement, and
the recitals set forth above, the Parties mutually agree that Consultant’s
consulting relationship with the Company shall be terminated and the Consulting
Agreement shall be amended and terminated as follows:

1.

TERMINATION AND RESIGNATION.

a.

The Consulting Agreement is hereby terminated effective retroactively to April
30, 2013 (the “Termination Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties
agree that the provisions of Section 9 of the Consulting Agreement shall survive
termination of the Consulting Agreement.  

b.

The Consultant hereby agrees to voluntarily tender his resignation as a director
of the Company and any office held with the Company immediately upon the receipt
of funding, or the irrevocable legal commitment to furnish funding, from the
Funding Parties sufficient to place the Company’s mining project into production
as proposed in its Mining Permit (the “Funding”).

2.

REASON FOR TERMINATION.

Both Parties agree that the termination of Consulting Agreement is by mutual
consent of the Parties and hereby waive any notice requirements for termination
under the Consulting Agreement.

3.

SEVERANCE BENEFITS.

In lieu of any severance, unpaid salary, penalties, interest, reimbursable
expenses, or other compensation or benefits due and payable under or as provided
in the Consulting Agreement, the Company shall provide the following severance
compensation in settlement of all claims by Consultant against the Company:

a.

The Company shall pay to the Consultant $70,000 (based upon unpaid fees from
July 1, 2012 through January 2013 at the rate of $10,000 per month), in monthly
installments (the “Severance Payments”) as provided below.   Any other fees due
and payable under the Consulting Agreement are hereby waived and forgiven by the
Consultant.  No interest shall accrue or be due and payable on the Severance
Payments.

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

b.

The Severance Payments will be payable at the rate of $5,000 per month.  The
first Severance Payment shall be due and payable on the 10th day of the month
beginning with the first month following the date on which the Company receives
its first payment under the Funding, and on the 10th day of each month
thereafter until paid in full.  Any Severance Payment shall be delinquent if not
made on or before the 15th day of any month in which such payment is due.  Each
delinquent Severance Payment shall constitute an “event of default.”  Payments
to the Consultant shall be made to the address set forth in Section 11(h)
hereof, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

c.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing then, in every such case, the
Consultant may declare the entire remaining unpaid balance of the Severance
Payments to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company of such default, and upon any such declaration, such amount shall become
immediately due and payable.  At such time after such declaration of
acceleration has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of money
due has been obtained by the Consultant, the Consultant, by written notice to
the Company, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, if all
events of default have been cured or waived.  No such rescission shall affect
any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

4.

INDEMNIFICATION.

 

The Company agrees that if at any time after the Termination Date the Consultant
is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a
“Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he was an officer, director, or
Consultant or the Company or one of its subsidiaries, the Consultant shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted or
authorized by law and by the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.  To
the extent consistent with the foregoing, this obligation to indemnify the
Consultant and hold him harmless shall inure to the benefit of the Consultant’s
heirs, executors and administrators.  The Company shall advance to the
Consultant all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with
a Proceeding within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written
request for such advance.  Such request shall include an undertaking by the
Consultant to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be
determined that the Consultant is not entitled to be indemnified against such
costs and expenses under Nevada law.  Consultant understands and acknowledges
that the Company may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to submit in certain circumstances the
question of indemnification to a court for a determination of the Company’s
right under public policy to indemnify Consultant and the obligation to
indemnify the Consultant hereunder shall be expressly subject to the outcome of
such determination.

5.

MUTUAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS.

a.

Consultant Release.  Consultant hereby releases the Company and its directors,
officers, and Consultants and agents, and any parent, subsidiaries or related

agreements, controversies, and damages of any nature and kind, known or unknown,
attributable  to or otherwise  arising from any alleged  conduct or practices by

or unlawful acts or of any breach of any agreement whatsoever.  Notwithstanding

to the Released Claims.  In connection with this waiver, the Parties acknowledge
that they are aware that they may hereafter discover claims presently unknown or

having had the opportunity to seek the advice of its own independently selected
counsel, such Party intends to release fully, finally and forever the Released
Claims.
