Commingling - If the Property is brought into commercial production, it may be operated as a single operation with other mining properties owned by third parties or in which the Owner has an interest, in which event, the parties agree that (notwithstanding separate ownership thereof) ores mined from the mining properties (including the Property) may be blended at the time of mining or
at any time thereafter, provided, however, that, the respective mining properties shall bear and have allocated to them their .proportionate part of costs described in paragraphs 2(a) to 2(d) above incurred relating to the single operation, and shall have allocated to each of them the proportionate part of the revenues earned relating to such single operation. In making any such allocation, effect shall be given to the tonnages and location of ore and other material mined and beneficiated and the characteristics of such material including the metal content of ore removed from, and to any special charges relating particularly to ore, concentrates or other products or the treatment thereof derived from, any of such mining properties.

copies of the audited reports shall be delivered to the Holder and the Owner by the chartered accounting firm;

13.
Rights of Parties - Nothing contained in the Agreement or any Schedule attached thereto shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right to or beneficial interest in the Property. The right to receive a percentage of Net Smelter Returns from the Owner as and when due is and shall be deemed to be a contractual right only.

In the event that after receiving such notification the Holder does not acquire such portion of the property, then such portion of the property will once again be subject to the obligation to pay Net Smelter returns.
2.
Annual Reports — Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year, the Owner shall provide the Holder with an annual report of all activities and operations conducted upon or with respect to the Property during the preceding calendar year, together with a description of the activities and operations anticipated during the current year (including estimates of expenditures, production, ore reserves and any Net Smelter Returns payable).

SCHEDULE "B"
NET SMELTER RETURNS ROYALTY
1. Definitions – For the purpose of this Schedule, "Agreement" shall mean the Royalty Agreement to which this Schedule is attached, "Owner" shall mean the party or parties paying a percentage of Net Smelter Returns pursuant to the Agreement. "Holder" shall mean the party or parties receiving a percentage of Net Smelter Returns pursuant to the Agreement and other capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
2. Net Smelter Returns – For the purpose hereof, the term "Net Smelter Returns" shall, subject to paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 6 below, mean gross revenues received from the sale by the Owner of all ore mined from the Property and from the sale by the Owner of concentrate, doré, metal and products derived from ore mined from the Property, after deduction of the following:
(a)
all smelting and refining costs, sampling, assaying and treatment charges and penalties including but not limited to metal losses, penalties for impurities and charges for refining, selling and handling by the smelter, refinery or other purchaser (including price participation charges by smelters and/or refiners); and
(b)
costs of handling, transporting, securing and insuring such material from the Property or from a concentrator, whether situated on or off the Property, to a smelter, refinery or other place of treatment, and in the case of gold or silver concentrates, security costs; and
(c)
ad valorem taxes and taxes based upon sales or production, but not income taxes; and
(d)
marketing costs, including sales commissions, incurred in selling ore mined from the Property and from concentrate, doré, metal and products derived from ore mined from the Property.
3.
Non-Arm's Length Revenue – Where revenue otherwise to be included under this Schedule is received by the Owner in a transaction with a party with whom it is not dealing at arm's length, the revenue to be included shall be based on the fair market value under the circumstances and at the time of the transaction.
4.
Non-Arm's Length Costs – Where a cost otherwise deductible under this Schedule is incurred by the Owner in a transaction with a party with whom it is not dealing at arm's length, the cost to be deducted shall be the fair market cost under the circumstances and at the time of the transaction.
5.
Currency – For the purpose of determining Net Smelter Returns, all receipts and major disbursements will be calculated in U.S. dollars.
6.
Hedging – The Owner may, but shall not be under any duty to, engage in price protection (hedging) or speculative transactions such as futures contracts and commodity options in its sole discretion covering all or part of production from the Property and, except in the case where products are actually delivered and a sale is actually consummated under such price protection or speculative transactions, none of the revenues, costs, profits or losses from such transactions shall be taken into account in calculating Net Smelter Returns or any interest therein.
7.
Commingling – If the Property is brought into commercial production, it may be operated as a single operation with other mining properties owned by third parties or in which the Owner has an interest, in which event, the parties agree that (notwithstanding separate ownership thereof) ores mined from the mining properties (including the Property) may be blended at the time of mining or at any time thereafter, provided, however, that the respective mining properties shall bear and have allocated to them their proportionate part of costs described in paragraphs 2(a) to 2(d) above
incurred relating to the single operation, and shall have allocated to each of them the proportionate part of the revenues earned relating to such single operation. In making any such allocation, effect shall be given to the tonnages and location of ore and other material mined and beneficiated and the characteristics of such material including the metal content of ore removed from, and to any special charges relating particularly to ore, concentrates or other products or the treatment thereof derived from, any of such mining properties.
8.
Sampling – The Owner shall ensure that reasonable practices and procedures are adopted and employed for weighing, determining moisture content, sampling and assaying and determining recovery factors.
9.
NSR Interest – The Net Smelter Return interest is one-half of one percent (0.5%) of Net Smelter Returns.
10.
Payments – Payments of a percentage of Net Smelter Returns shall be made to the Holder within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter in which Net Smelter Returns, as determined on the basis of final adjusted invoices, are received by the Owner. All such payments shall be made in U.S. dollars.
11.
Calculations – After the year in which commercial production is commenced on the Property, the Holder receiving a percentage of Net Smelter Returns from the Owner shall be provided annually on or before April 1 with a copy of the calculation of Net Smelter Returns, determined in accordance with this Schedule, for the preceding calendar year, certified correct by the Owner.
12.
Audits – The Owner shall cause the Net Smelter Returns and the records relating thereto to be audited within the first quarter of each calendar year by a national firm of chartered accountants designated and paid by the Owner (which may be the auditor of the Owner) and:
(a)
copies of the audited reports shall be delivered to the Holder and the Owner by the chartered accounting firm;
(b)
either party shall have three (3) months after receipt of any audited report to object thereto in writing to the other party, and failing such objection, such report shall be deemed correct; and
(c)
in the event of a reaudit, all costs relating to such reaudit shall be paid by the Owner (if the original audit is found in error by a margin of 10% or more) or the Holder (if the original audit is found to be correct) and the Holder requested the reaudit.
13.
Rights of Parties – Nothing contained in the Agreement or any Schedule attached thereto shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right to or beneficial interest in the Property. The right to receive a percentage of Net Smelter Returns from the Owner as and when due is and shall be deemed to be a contractual right only. Furthermore, the right to receive a percentage of Net Smelter Returns by the Holder from the Owner as and when due shall not be deemed to constitute the Owner the partner, agent or legal representative of the Holder or to create any fiduciary relationship between them for any purpose whatsoever.
14.
Operations – The Owner shall be entitled to:
(a)
Make all operational decisions with respect to the methods and extent of mining and processing of ore, concentrate, doré, metal and products produced from the Property (for example, without limitation, the decision to process by heap leaching rather than conventional milling);
(b)
Make all decisions relating to sales of such ore, concentrate, doré, metal and products produced; and
(c)
Make all decisions concerning temporary or long-term cessation of operations.
1.
Reacquisitions – Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 14 of this Schedule, the Owner shall not relinquish, drop, abandon or allow any portion of the property to lapse without first notifying the Holder of the Owner's intention to do so and in such event the Holder shall have the right to acquire such portion of the property for its own account. In the event that after receiving such notification the Holder does not acquire such portion of the property, then such portion of the property will once again be subject to the obligation to pay Net Smelter returns.
2.
Annual Reports – Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year, the Owner shall provide the Holder with an annual report of all activities and operations conducted upon or with respect to the Property during the preceding calendar year, together with a description of the activities and operations anticipated during the current year (including estimates of expenditures, production, ore reserves and any Net Smelter Returns payable).
