WHEREAS
the
Vendors are the legal and beneficial owners of a 100% interest in those certain

set out in Schedule “A” hereto (the “Claims”), free and clear of all
encumbrances, liens or charges;
AND
WHEREAS
the
Purchaser wishes to purchase the Claims under the following
conditions:
1. The
Purchaser has agreed to pay to the Vendors an aggregate total of US
$1,000,000.00 as follows:
|
(a)
|
US
$300,000.00 on the date all requisite permits are issued to the
Purchaser,
or its assign, to drill at least four confirmation holes on the

Vendor);
|
|
(b)
|
US
$300,000.00 six months after the Permitting Approval Date (US $150,000.00
to each Vendor); and
|
|
(c)
|
US
$400,000.00 at the closing of the purchase of the Claims, to be
held

If

resale
restrictions as may be imposed by any securities regulatory authority

of the
date the Purchaser or its assign obtains, from such Authority,
the
required regulatory or stock exchange approval for a Transaction.
The
Option, and any common shares issued to the Vendors on the exercise
of the

EXCEPTING
AND RESERVING UNTO THE GRANTORS,
a
royalty (the "Royalty") equal to one percent (1%) of the proceeds from the
sale
or other disposition of all uranium oxide (commonly called "Yellow Cake"),
received from any purchaser of any Yellow Cake derived from the ore mined
from
the Claims after deducting therefrom all charges and penalties (imposed by
the
purchaser) and the cost of transportation to any processing facility after
creation of Yellow Cake, insurance premiums, sampling and assaying charges
incurred after the Yellow Cake concentrates have left the concentrator and
all
appropriate sales taxes. If minerals other than uranium oxide are mined and
sold
from the Claims, the Royalty provided herein shall likewise apply to such
minerals and shall be calculated as set forth above based on payment received
from a purchaser after the creation of a concentrate or otherwise marketable
product. In no case shall the cost of mining, transportation or concentrating
costs prior to the creation of the first marketable produced be deducted
from
the selling price in the calculation of Royalty. If any portion of the Yellow
Cake or other minerals extracted and derived from the ore mined from the
Claims
are sold to a purchaser owned or controlled by the Grantee or treated by
a
facility owned or controlled by Grantee, the actual proceeds received shall
be
deemed to be an amount equal to what could be obtained from a purchaser or
facility not so owned or controlled by the Grantee after deducting therefrom
a
charge equal to the transportation cost which would have been incurred had
the
material been transported to such third party.
The
Royalty reserved herein shall be subject to the following:
1. Payment
of Royalty
a. Frequency
of Payment of Royalty.
Payment
of Royalty hereunder shall be due and payable within thirty (30) business
days
after the sale proceeds are received from any purchaser of Yellow Cake or
other
minerals mined from the Claims.
b. Method
of Making Payments.
All
payments required hereunder may be mailed or delivered to any single depository
as Grantors may instruct. The Grantee will have no responsibility as to the
division of the Royalty payments among parties constituting the Grantors
and if
the Grantee makes a payment or payments on account of the Royalty in accordance
with the provisions of this instrument, it will have no further responsibility
for distribution of the Royalty. All charges of the agent, trustee or depository
will be borne solely by the parties receiving payments of Royalty. The delivery
or the deposit in the mail of any payment hereunder on or before the due
date
thereof shall be deemed timely payment hereunder.
|
2.
|
Records
and Reports
|
a. Records,
Inspection and Audit.
Within
ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar, commencing with the
year in
which the claims are brought into commercial production (not inclusive of
any
bulk sampling programs), the Grantee shall deliver to Grantors a statement
of
the Royalty paid for said calendar year. The Grantors shall have the right
within a period of three (3) months from receipt of such statements to inspect
the Grantee's books and records relating thereto and to conduct an independent
audit of such books and records at its own cost and expense.
b. Objections.
If
Grantors do not request an inspection of Grantee’s books and records during the
three-month period referred to in the preceding paragraph, all payments of
Royalty for the annual period will be considered final and in full satisfaction
of all obligations of the Grantee with respect thereto. If Grantors dispute
any
calculation of Royalty, Grantors shall deliver to the Grantee a written notice
(the “Objection Notice”) describing and setting forth a specific objection
within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Grantors of the final statement.
If
such audit determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the
payment made to the Grantors, such deficiency or excess will be resolved
by
adjusting the next payment due hereunder. The Grantors will pay all the costs
and expenses of such audit unless a deficiency of five (5%) percent or more
of
the amount due is determined to exist. The Grantee will pay the costs and
expenses of such audit if a deficiency of five (5%) percent or more of the
amount due is determined to exist. All books and records used and kept by
the
Grantee to calculate the Royalty due hereunder will be kept in accordance
with
generally accepted accounting principles.
-2-
c. Evidence
of Maintenance of the Claims.
Grantee
shall deliver to Grantors, not later than the date two weeks prior to the
date
for the payment of annual claim maintenance fees (currently September 1),
evidence that the fee has been timely paid, and shall thereafter, prior to
December 1 of each year, deliver to Grantors a copy of a "Notice of Intent
to
Hold" for the Claims as recorded in the official records of Gila
County.
|
3.
|
Inurement
|
The
Royalty reserved herein shall run with the land and be binding on all subsequent
owners of the Claims, including any amendments, relocations, patents of the
same
or additional or alternative rights to mine as may be conferred by any changes
in the mineral laws of the United States.
4. Notices
All
notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in writing
and shall be sent by the parties by registered or certified mail, telex,
facsimile transmission or by express delivery service to the address set
forth
in the identification of the parties in the headings of this Quitclaim Deed
or
to such other address as either party may later designate by like notice
to the
other. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed
to have been given upon the earliest of (1) actual receipt, (2) acknowledgment
in any form of receipt of telex or facsimile transmission, (3) the business
day
next following deposit with an express delivery service, properly addressed,
or
(4) seventy-two (72) hours after deposit with the U.S. Mails, properly addressed
with postage prepaid.
5. Assignments
by Grantor
Grantor
may transfer, pledge, mortgage, charge or otherwise encumber all or any part
of
its right, title and interest in and to its Royalty reserved hereunder;
provided, however, that Grantee shall be under no obligation to make its
payments hereunder to such assignee, transferee, pledgee or other third party
until Grantee's receipt of Notice concerning the assignment or
transfer.

6. Interpretation
a. Governing
Law; Venue.
The
provisions and interpretation of this Quitclaim Deed shall be governed by
the
laws of the State of Arizona without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
Any
dispute concerning this Quitclaim Deed shall be adjudicated in either the
state
or federal courts in and for the State of Arizona.
b. Invalidity
of Provisions.
If any
term or other provision of this Quitclaim Deed is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions
and
provisions of this Quitclaim Deed shall nevertheless remain in full force
and
effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions
contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate
in
good faith to modify this Quitclaim Deed so as to effect the original intent
of
the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent
possible.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantor has executed and delivered this Quitclaim Deed
and
Reservation of Interest as of the Effective Date.

SCHEDULE
"C"
Royalty
Excepting
and reserving unto the Optionor, a royalty (the "Royalty") equal to two percent
(2%) of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of all uranium oxide
(commonly called "Yellow Cake"), received from any purchaser of any Yellow
Cake
derived from the ore mined from the Claims after deducting therefrom all
charges
and penalties (imposed by the purchaser) and the cost of transportation to
any
processing facility after creation of Yellow Cake, insurance premiums, sampling
and assaying charges incurred after the Yellow Cake concentrates have left
the
concentrator and all appropriate sales taxes. If minerals other than uranium
oxide are mined and sold from the Claims, the Royalty provided herein shall
likewise apply to such minerals and shall be calculated as set forth above
based
on payment received from a purchaser after the creation of a concentrate
or
otherwise marketable product. In no case shall the cost of mining,
transportation or concentrating costs prior to the creation of the first
marketable produced be deducted from the selling price in the calculation
of
Royalty. If any portion of the Yellow Cake or other minerals extracted and
derived from the ore mined from the Claims are sold to a purchaser owned
or
controlled by the Optionee or treated by a facility owned or controlled by
the
Optionee, the actual proceeds received shall be deemed to be an amount equal
to
what could be obtained from a purchaser or facility not so owned or controlled
by the Optionee after deducting therefrom a charge equal to the transportation
cost which would have been incurred had the material been transported to
such
third party.
The
Royalty reserved herein shall be subject to the following:
1. Payment
of Royalty
a. Frequency
of Payment of Royalty.
Payment
of Royalty hereunder shall be due and payable within thirty (30) business
days
after the sale proceeds are received from any purchaser of Yellow Cake or
other
minerals mined from the Claims.
b. Method
of Making Payments.
All
payments required hereunder may be mailed or delivered to any single depository
as the Optionor may instruct. If the Optionee makes a payment or payments
on
account of the Royalty in accordance with the provisions of this instrument,
it
will have no further responsibility for distribution of the Royalty. All
charges
of the agent, trustee or depository will be borne solely by the parties
receiving payments of Royalty. The delivery or the deposit in the mail of
any
payment hereunder on or before the due date thereof shall be deemed timely
payment hereunder.
2. Records
and Reports
a. Records,
Inspection and Audit.
Within
ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar, commencing with the
year in
which the claims are brought into commercial production (not inclusive of
any
bulk sampling programs), the Optionee shall deliver to the Optionor a statement
of the Royalty paid for said calendar year. The Optionor shall have the right
within a period of three (3) months from receipt of such statements to inspect
the Optionee's books and records relating thereto and to conduct an independent
audit of such books and records at its own cost and expense.
b. Objections.
If the
Optionor does not request an inspection of Optionee’s books and records during
the three-month period referred to in the preceding paragraph, all payments
of
Royalty for the annual period will be considered final and in full satisfaction
of all obligations of the Optionee with respect thereto. If the Optionor
disputes any calculation of Royalty, the Optionor shall deliver to the Optionee
a written notice (the "Objection Notice") describing and setting forth a
specific objection within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Optionor of
the
final statement. If such audit determines that there has been a deficiency
or an
excess in the payment made to the Optionor, such deficiency or excess will
be
