Page 31 of 37

(b)

Stockpiling and Commingling

The Payor may stockpile and commingle Subject Ore, concentrates or other products mined and removed from the Property with ores, concentrates or other products not mined from the Property; provided however, that the Payor shall calculate from representative samples the average grade thereof and other measures as are appropriate, and shall weigh (or calculate by volume) the material before commingling. In obtaining representative samples, calculating the average grade of the ore and average recovery percentages, the Payor may use any procedures accepted in the mining and metallurgical industry which it believes suitable for the type of mining and processing activity being conducted and, in the absence of fraud, its choice of such procedures shall be final and binding on the Royalty Holder.

(c)

Tailings and Waste

All tailings or waste material shall be the property of the Payor and the Payor shall have no obligation to process or extract substances therefrom. If the Payor elects to extract Mineral Content of value therefrom and utilizes or sells the same, the Royalty Holder shall receive the royalty provided under section 2 hereof in respect of such Products. If the Payor commingles the tailings or waste material produced from the Property with tailings and waste material not produced from the Property, the Payor shall calculate from representative samples the average grade thereof and other measures as are appropriate, and shall weigh (or calculate by volume) the material before commingling and the royalty payments, if any, shall be based upon the recoverable pro rata portion of the minerals in the tailings or waste material derived from the Property. Payment of the Royalty, provisional payments, adjustments and annual final reports will be made in accordance with Section 4(d), (e), (f) and (g). The records and provision for audit to resolve objections will be in accordance with Section 4(k).

Each such quarterly payment shall be subject to adjustment as provided below in the next quarterly payment or when the final report for the year is issued as specified below.

(e)

Provisional Payments

If any royalty becomes due and payable to the Royalty Holder prior to the Payor’s final estimates of the total amount payable, then the Payor shall pay the Royalty Holder a provisional royalty payment using the Payor’s then current estimates of the amount payable for Products produced during the Calendar Quarter.

Page 32 of 37

(f)

Adjustments

The following adjustments shall be taken into account in determining the royalty or provisional royalty payments and shall be specified in a statement which will accompany each payment:

(i)

Any adjustments to charges, costs, deductions or expenses imposed upon or given to the Payor but not taken into account in determining previous royalty payments;

(ii)

Any adjustments in the number of appropriate units of measurement of Products, beneficiated by the Payor, or previously credited to the Payor by a smelter, refiner or bona fide purchaser of Products shipped or sold by the Payor;

(iii)

Any adjustments in Mineral Content and average percentage recovery; and

(iv)

Any payments that have not otherwise been credited against previous royalty payments.

(g)

Annual Final Report

Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, the Payor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Royalty Holder a final report for the year certified as being accurate by the Chief Financial Officer of the Payor and such other responsible officer of the Payor showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the royalty due the Royalty Holder for the prior year and all adjustments to the quarterly or other periodic reports and payments for the year. With such final report, the Payor shall, if applicable, make such additional royalty payment as is required by the report. If such report indicates that the Royalty Holder has received more than it should have been paid in respect of the royalty due to the Royalty Holder, then the excess shall be deducted from the next payment obligation owed pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule or, in the event of a temporary or permanent cessation of production, the Royalty Holder shall repay the excess within 15 days of the annual report.

(h)

Assignment by Payor

Any sale, transfer assignment or disposition of the Property or any portion thereof, as the case may be, by the Payor may be effected only in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

(i)

Abandonment by Payor

Any abandonment of the Property or any portion thereof, as the case may be, by the Payor, may be effected only in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Page 33 of 37

(j)

Assignment by Royalty Holder

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any part of the right to receive the Royalty is assigned by the Royalty Holder, it shall be a condition of such assignment that the assignee agrees with the Payor and all other parties entitled to receive any part of the Royalty as follows:

(i)

the amount of any royalty payable hereunder shall be settled only with the Royalty Holder or an authorized nominee (herein collectively called the “Nominee”) as designated by notice to the Payor (such notice to be executed by all parties entitled to receive any part of the Royalty), and such settlement shall be final and binding upon all interested parties and the Payor shall not be required to make any accounting to any person save such Nominee;

(ii)

payment of the royalty shall be made only to or to the order of the Nominee “In Trust” and such payment shall constitute a full and complete discharge to the Payor and it shall have no obligation to see to the distribution of any such payment;

(iii)

the Payor may settle disputes arising hereunder with the Nominee and such settlement shall be final and binding upon all interested parties;

(iv)

the Payor may rely upon any direction, advice or authorization signed by the Nominee and may act thereon as if the same was signed by all interested parties; and

(v)

the Payor shall not be required to deal with any person except the Nominee. Each interested party shall exercise all of their respective rights only through the Nominee and shall require each of their respective assignees to agree in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof.

(k)

Records and Provision for Audit to Resolve Objections

All books and records used by the Payor to calculate the royalty due hereunder shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles varied only by the specific provisions hereof. The Payor shall maintain up-to-date and complete records of the production of all Mineral Products. If treatment or smelting of Mineral Products is performed off the Property, accounts records, statements and returns relating to such treatment and smelting arrangements shall be maintained by the Payor. The Royalty Holder shall have the right at all reasonable times during normal business hours to inspect such accounts, records, statements and returns and make copies thereof at its own expense for the sole purpose of verifying the amount of the royalty.

Page 34 of 37

All payments of the royalty made pursuant to the final report that is to be issued within 90 days of the end of each calendar year shall be considered final and in full satisfaction of all obligations of the Payor with respect thereto, unless the Royalty Holder gives the Payor written notice describing and setting forth a specific objection to the calculation thereof within 90 days after receipt by the Royalty Holder of the annual final report herein provided in Section 4(v). If the Royalty Holder objects to a particular quarterly statement delivered hereunder, the Royalty Holder shall, for a period of 90 days after the Payor’s receipt of notice of such objection, have the right, upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time, to have the royalty payment in question audited by a firm of chartered accountants acceptable to the Royalty Holder and to the Payor (and if they cannot agree on a firm, by a firm of chartered accountants selected by the auditors of the Royalty Holder). If such audit determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to the Royalty Holder such deficiency or excess shall be resolved by adjusting the next quarterly payment due hereunder. The Royalty Holder shall pay all costs of such audit unless a deficiency of 5% or more of the amount due for the year under audit or $30,000, whichever is greater, is determined to exist. The Payor shall pay the costs of such audit if a deficiency of 5% or more of the amount due for the year under audit or $30,000, whichever is greater, is determined to exist. Failure on the part of the Royalty Holder to make claim on the Payor for adjustment in such 90-day period shall establish the correctness of the final report and preclude the filing of exceptions thereto or making of claims for adjustment thereon.

(l)

Royalty Running With the Property

The royalty created herein shall be a real property interest in all portions of the Property to which the royalty applies sufficient to secure the royalty payments herein provided for; provided, however, that the Royalty Holder will execute and deliver all instruments and assist in their recording necessary or desirable for the Payor to obtain construction and/or production financing for the Mine and Plant processing Products and to postpone and subordinate such royalty on Products to the liens, charges and repayment schedules required by all lenders for such construction and/or production financing of the Payor. Should repayments to any such lenders cause any royalty payment hereunder not to be paid or to be delayed before payment, then all such unpaid or delayed payment shall be paid out of the next available revenues from Products together with interest at the Prime Rate plus 3%.

On the date that the Optionee has both (a) exercised the Option (the “Exercise”) and (b) provided the Semi-Carried Financing (the “Joint Venture Commencement Date”), the Optionee will hold a 80% participating interest (“Participating Interest”) and the Optionors will hold a 20% Participating Interest in the Joint Venture.

2.	The objectives of the Joint Venture will be to place the Property or some part thereof into commercial production.

The affairs of the Joint Venture will be governed by the direction and control of a management committee (the "Management Committee") to be composed of one representative and one alternate from each of the Participants, with decisions of the Management Committee to be determined by a majority of the percentage interests in the Property as voted by the representatives, except that if there is a deadlock, the deciding vote will be cast by the Operator.

4.	Any decision to place the Property into Commercial Production is to be based on a Feasibility Report approved by the Management Committee.

The Optionee will initially act as the Operator of the Joint Venture, subject to the budget and programmes which when duly approved by the parties under the Joint Venture shall be an “Approved Programme and Budget” as determined by the Management Committee and will have such other powers and duties as required to carry out that function.

All operations under the Joint Venture will be financed by funds from a financing arranged solely by the Optionee (the “Semi-Carried Financing”) and provided to each of the Optionee and the Optionors, in proportion to their joint venture ownership of an amount sufficient to fully finance both the Optionee and the Optionors for:

(a)

all costs of any bonding;

(b)

all the costs involved in putting a mine into production on the Property in a method and manner in full compliance with the Feasibility Report;

(c)

all of the costs associated with the continued operation of the mine; and

(d)

all costs associated with the shutting down of such mine, including all environmental, reclamation and cleanup costs.

The Semi-Carried Financing is to be provided at the most attractive interest rate offered by the Bank of Montreal for its most credit worthy commercial clients. Such financing is to be repaid by the Optionors and the Optionee from the sale of ore from the Property on the basis that 80% of all revenue of each will be paid first to repay the financing with the balance of 20% of the revenue of each being paid to and shared between the Optionors and the Optionee in proportion with their Joint Venture interests until such financing has been re-paid in full, following which the revenue from the mine will be shared between the Optionors and the Optionee in proportion with their Joint Venture interests.

7.	The interests of the Participants will not be subject to a dilution clause.

8.	The Operator will be paid a fee as follows:

(a)

following formation of a Joint Venture between the Participants but prior to the Commencement of Commercial Production, 3% of all exploration expenditures except in the case of exploration expenditures under a single contract in excess of $300,000 in which case the fee will be 2% of those expenditures; and

(b)

after the commencement of Commercial Production, 2% of all development and production expenditures except in the case of development and production expenditures under a single contract in excess of $100,000 in which case the fee will be 1.5% of such development and production expenditures.

The joint operations under the Joint Venture will commence automatically on the Joint Venture Commencement Date, whether or not a formal joint venture agreement has been entered into. The Management Committee will hold its first joint venture meeting within 60 days of the Joint Venture Commencement Date, and the parties agree to have a formal joint venture agreement finalized within 90 days of the Joint Venture Commencement Date.

10.	A Participant is entitled to receive, in kind, its share of any minerals produced from a mine on the property and to separately dispose of the same in proportion to its Participating Interest, subject to paying its share of the cost of production.

11.	Each Participant will have a right of first refusal for sixty days in respect of the other Participant wishing to dispose all or a part of its Participating Interest in the Joint Venture.

12.	The proceeds available for payout from the Joint Venture will be paid as follows:

(a)

80% of the proceeds will be paid to discharge the Semi-Carried Financing and the remaining 20% will be paid 80% to the Optionee and 20% to the Optionors; and

(b)

after the Semi-Carried Financing has been paid, 80% of the proceeds will be paid to the Optionee and 20% will be paid to the Optionors.

13.

The Optionee will cause the mine to be brought into Commercial Production within two years of the Joint Venture Commencement Date and will cause that Commercial Production to continue for at least two years, failing which all of the Participating Interest of the Optionee will be transferred to the Optionors and the title to the Property and all things comprising the mine and mine operations including equipment, machinery, buildings and structures, whether chattels, realty or other, will be transferred to the Optionor USA and the Optionee will deliver to the Optionors:

(a)

a Quit Claim Deed in a form reasonably acceptable to the Optionors which the Optionor USA may record against the Property; and

(b)

any other document reasonably required by the Optionors to evidence the transfer of title to the Optionor USA all things comprising the Property, the mine and the mining operation.
