Commingling of Production. Subject to the limitations, conditions and requirements of this Section 4.1, Grantor shall have the right to mix or commingle, either underground, at the surface, or at a processing plant or any other treatment facilities, any production from the Lands with ores or material derived from other lands or properties whether or not owned, leased or controlled by Grantor. Before commingling, Grantor shall weigh, measure, sample and analyze the respective ores and materials in accordance with sound mining and metallurgical practices such that the amount of gold recovered from the Lands can be reasonably and accurately determined. As products are produced from the commingled ores, Grantor shall calculate from representative samples the average percentage recovery of products produced from the commingled ores during each month. In obtaining representative samples and calculating the average grade of commingled ores and average percentage of recovery, Grantor may use procedures that are in accordance with best practices in the mining and metallurgical industry. The records relating to commingled ores shall be made available for inspection by Grantee, at Grantee’s sole expense, at all reasonable times and shall be retained by Grantor for a period of one (1) year after the calendar year in which the commingling occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, Grantor shall not commingle production from the Lands with ores or minerals derived from other lands or properties if such commingling has a reasonable likelihood of reducing the recovery rate of metals from the Lands below what the recovery rate would have been without commingling. Any disputes concerning commingling procedures or results or the applicability of the prohibition in the preceding sentence shall be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 5.9.
