This Amendment No. 7 is being filed to reflect an increase in the percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as a result of the cancellation by the Company of 809,744 shares of Common Stock on September 30, 2020, and the receipt by Mr. Juneau of 60,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Contango ORE, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Compensation Plan. Responses to each item of this Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference into the response to each other item, as applicable.

Subject to applicable securities laws and regulations, the Reporting Person may dispose or acquire securities of the Company, including Common Stock, depending upon the position of the market, the Company, and other factors.

Except as set forth herein, as of the date hereof, there are no plans or proposals that the Reporting Person has that relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition of securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing any change in the trading market of any class of securities of the Company; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to any of the matters enumerated above.

Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 5 are amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a)  The Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 588,026 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which includes (i) 245,892 shares of Common Stock held directly by Mr. Juneau, (ii) 96,534 shares of Common Stock held by JEX, (iii) 147,234 shares of Common Stock held by J5D, and (iv) 98,366 shares of Common Stock held by AuCuAg.  Mr. Juneau is the sole manager of the general partner of JEX, is the sole manager of the general partner of J5D, and is the sole manager of AuCuAg.

Mr. Juneau, as the sole manager of AuCuAg, beneficially owns the reported securities indirectly, but disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. As a result, Mr. Juneau may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of approximately 9.81% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
