Each of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Material Subsidiary of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and nonassessable and, to the extent of its ownership, directly or through subsidiaries, is owned by the Company free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Purchaser, on the date hereof, the Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than the Material Subsidiaries, and the Company owns 100% of each such subsidiary or entity.
3.10 Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. All of the outstanding common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable federal, state or provincial securities laws.

The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the issuance and delivery of the Purchased Shares, and
4
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and (i) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the Notice of Articles or Articles of the Company or any Material Subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, except for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change or except for such consents as have been obtained and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries, except for such violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company.
3.12 No Material Actions or Proceedings.

The Company has not received notice of any securities commission orders or cease trade orders with respect to any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries.
3.13 All Necessary Permits, Etc. Each of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries possesses such valid and current certificates, licenses, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their current businesses, including any certificates, licenses, authorizations and permits required to conduct its business, except such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries are in the process of obtaining or believes (without representing or warranting) it will be able to obtain in the ordinary course any additional certificates, licenses, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to explore for, develop and mine minerals ore and metals on the Properties. Neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation, suspension or amendment of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, license, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could result in a Material Adverse Change. None of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries is in default or violation of any such certificate, license, authorization or permit (except where such default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change). The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the issuance and delivery of the Purchased Shares, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of or non-compliance with any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any of such certificate, license, authorization or permit except such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

3.14 Properties.

All representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are subject to the comments, qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Title Reports (none of the qualifications and exceptions in such Title Reports, either individually or in the aggregate, will result in a Material Adverse Change). The Company has complied with all requirements of National Instrument 43-101, including but not limited to the preparation and filing of technical reports. The Company or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the entity that holds record title or a leasehold interest as the case may be to the mining claims and other properties that make up the Properties. The Properties are held under valid, subsisting and enforceable title documents (except as disclosed in the Title Reports (none of the qualifications and exceptions in such Title Reports, either individually or in the aggregate, will result in a Material Adverse Change)) sufficient to permit the Company to explore the minerals relating thereto (subject to all applicable federal, state and local permitting laws and regulations). Except as may be disclosed in the Title Reports (none of the qualifications and exceptions in such Title Reports, either individually or in the aggregate, will result in a Material Adverse Change), all such mining claims have been validly located and recorded in accordance with all applicable laws and, subject to the existence of a discovery of a valuable mineral on each of such claims, are valid and subsisting. The Company has paid or caused to be paid all mining claim maintenance fees required by federal law and has timely made or will timely make all associated filings and recordings required by state and federal law. The Company or one of its Material Subsidiaries has obtained, is in the process of obtaining, or believes (without representing or warranting) it will be able to obtain in the ordinary course all necessary surface rights, access rights and other necessary rights and interests relating to the Properties granting the Company or one of its Material Subsidiaries the right and ability to explore for minerals, ore and metals for development purposes as are appropriate in view of the rights and interest therein of the Company and its subsidiaries with only such exceptions as do not materially interfere with the use made by the Company or its subsidiaries of the rights or interests so held, subject to the comments, qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Title Reports (none of the qualifications and exceptions in such Title Reports, either individually or in the aggregate will result in a Material Adverse Change) and subject to all applicable federal, state and local permitting laws and regulations. Subsequent to the effective date of each of the Title Reports as set out above, nothing has occurred with respect to the ownership, status, validity or good standing of the Properties or the rights of the Company and its subsidiaries in and to the Properties that would change, or that could reasonably be expected to result in a change to, the representations and warranties given in this Section 3.14 or that has, since such effective dates, or might in the future result in a Material Adverse Change.
3.15 Employee Plans. The Company has not, and has never had, any obligation with respect to a defined benefit pension plan or arrangement.
3.16 Title to Properties. Subject to the comments, qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Title Reports (none of the qualifications and exceptions in such Title Reports, either individually or in the aggregate will result in a Material Adverse Change), as of February 21, 2012 with respect to the Pan and Gold Rock Properties, and as of March 29, 2012, February 21, 2012 and February 21, 2012, respectively, with respect to the Golden Eagle, Spring Valley and Tonopah Properties, the Company or its subsidiaries owns or leases, as the case may be, all of the Properties and all of the assets reflected as owned or leased in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.7 above, in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, other than as set forth in the Title Reports (none of the qualifications and exceptions in such Title Reports, either individually or in the aggregate, will result in a Material Adverse
6
Change) and except for any other security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects that do not materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or such subsidiary. Subject to the comments, qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Title Reports (none of the qualifications and exceptions in such Title Reports, either individually or in the aggregate will result in a Material Adverse Change), as of February 21, 2012 with respect to the Pan and Gold Rock Properties, and as of March 29, 2012, February 21, 2012 and February 21, 2012, respectively, with respect to the Golden Eagle, Spring Valley and Tonopah Properties, the real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company or any subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Company or such subsidiary. Any water rights used by the Company or its subsidiaries to irrigate or otherwise supply its properties: (i) have been validly applied for and maintained and are in good standing; (ii) are not subject to any claims of adverse possession or other disputes; (iii) have been used according to their terms and conditions; and (iv) have been put or will be, within the time permitted under applicable law, to beneficial use on the Properties. Subsequent to the effective date of each of the Title Reports as set out above, nothing has occurred with respect to the ownership, status, validity or good standing of the Properties or the rights of the Company and its subsidiaries in and to the Properties that would change, or that could reasonably be expected to result in a change to, the representations and warranties given in this Section 3.16 or that has, since such effective dates, or might in the future result in a Material Adverse Change.
3.17 Tax Law Compliance. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries have filed all material federal, provincial, territorial, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or have properly requested extensions thereof and have paid all material taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1 above in respect of all federal, provincial, territorial, state and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has not been finally determined.
3.18 Company Not an “Investment Company”. The Company has been advised of the rules and requirements under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company is not, and is not required to be, registered under the Investment Company Act, and after receipt of payment for the Purchased Shares and the application of the proceeds therefrom will not be required to be so registered. The Company will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act while any Purchased Shares remain outstanding.
3.19 Insurance. Each of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries is insured by recognized, financially sound institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for its businesses. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of its Material Subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.
3.20 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as otherwise disclosed in on Schedule 3.20 or as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change, to the Company’s Knowledge: (i) none of the Company or its subsidiaries is in material violation of any federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign law or regulation relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including without limitation, laws and regulations relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum and petroleum products (collectively, “Materials of Environmental Concern”), or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Materials of Environmental Concern (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), which violation includes, but is not limited to, non-compliance with any permits or other governmental authorizations required for the operation of the business of each of the Company and its subsidiaries under applicable Environmental Laws, or non-compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, nor has the Company or any of its subsidiaries received any written communication, whether from
7

Based on the Company’s most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that are reasonably likely to materially affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
