ARTICLE 3

ROYALTY

3.1 Grant of Royalty.

(1) In consideration of the Royalty Purchase Price, the Owners shall pay to Holder a Perpetual royalty privileged and preferential in payment to (i) any other royalty, or other rights which may be assimilated to a royalty other than the Existing Royalties or royalties payable to Governmental Bodies, or (ii) any other contractual rights granted in respect of, or related to, the Mineral Property granted by an Owner or Parent to any Third Party in the aggregate amount of 0.7% of Net Smelter Returns from the sale or other disposition of Products produced from the Mineral Property determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section and, if applicable, Article 12.

(2) Net Smelter Returns shall be determined by multiplying (i) the Quarterly Production by (ii) the average Spot Price during the relevant time period, less the following expenses only:

- 6 -

(a) direct charges in respect of smelting and refining (including handling, processing, interest, settlement fees, sampling, assaying and representation costs, umpire charges, weighing, loading, unloading, stockpiling and storage) and treatment charges and penalties at the smelter or refinery, including metal losses and penalties for impurities;

(b) actual and direct costs of transportation (including freight, insurance, security, transaction charges, handling, port demurrage, delay and forwarding expenses incurred by reason of or in the course of such transportation) of ore, doré or concentrates from the mine site or other final processing plant to the place of sale; and

(c) all taxes, including all sales, use, severance, net proceeds of mining and ad valorem taxes, government royalties and any other tax or governmental levy or fee based directly on or assessed against the value or quantity of Products produced from the Mineral Property but excluding any and all taxes based upon the net or gross income or outstanding capital of the Owners or other operator of the Mineral Property, the value of the Mineral Property or the privilege of doing business and other taxes assessed on a similar basis (including, without limitation, any export taxes and withholding taxes, as further described in Section 3.9).

(3) In the event the refining of ore, doré or concentrates is carried out in facilities owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by an Owner, then charges and costs for such refining shall mean the amount such Owner would have incurred and would be deductible under this Agreement if such refining were carried out at facilities not owned or controlled by such Owner then offering comparable refining services for comparable products on prevailing market terms, but in no event greater than actual costs incurred by the Owner with respect to such refining.

(4) In the event an Owner or any Affiliate of either Owner or Parent receives insurance proceeds for any Products that are lost or damaged, such Owner shall pay (or Parent will cause to be paid) to Holder an amount equal to the gross insurance proceeds which are received by such Person for such products that were lost or damaged multiplied by the Royalty rate.

(5) All Royalty payments shall be made without deduction or set off for costs of production, smelting, milling, processing, transportation or other expenses whatsoever, except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

(6) Any royalty or similar interest in or to the Mineral Property, or in and to any Minerals, granted by either Owner after the date hereof, shall contain a term to the effect that no payment thereof, in cash or product in kind, shall be made until the Royalty hereunder has been paid in full for the relevant time period.

3.2 In-Kind Credit or Cash Payment.

(1) In respect of the Royalty, Holder shall receive the Royalty, at Holder’s election:

(a) as an in-kind credit in the form of physical Products from the Processor credited directly to Holder’s account maintained with the Processor as directed by Holder; or

- 7 -

(b) upon giving the required notice pursuant to Section 3.2(3) below to the Owners, as a cash payment by bank wire transfer or delivery of a cheque or draft payable by the Owners to Holder’s account with a bank to be designated in writing by Holder.

(2) Where Holder is receiving the Royalty as an in-kind credit in the form of physical Product, the Royalty will not reflect the costs deductible in calculating Net Smelter Returns under this Agreement and therefore, subject to delivery of in-kind credits by the Processor pursuant to Section 3.3 below, within 30 days of receipt of statements respecting charges permitted under this Agreement, Holder shall remit a cash payment of an amount equal to its proportionate share of deductible costs permitted under this Agreement to the Processor.

(3) In the event Holder wishes to receive the Royalty as a cash payment for a particular calendar quarter, Holder shall provide the Owners with written notice thereof not less than three months prior to such payment date.

(4) The parties further agree that all Royalty payments due to Holder are the property of Holder at the time of production and are held by the Owners in trust for Holder until paid to Holder.

3.3 Time and Manner.

(1) In-Kind Credits.  For in-kind credits, the Processor shall credit the Royalty in accordance with written instructions given to the Processor by Holder as provided in Section 3.2(1)(a) on or before the last Business Day of the month immediately following the end of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement.  Once the Processor has received instructions from Holder, such instructions shall remain in effect until the Processor has received different instructions from Holder.  All contractual or other arrangements entered into by an Owner with the Processor shall contain provisions implementing the terms and conditions of payment set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof and such Owner shall procure the written undertaking of the Processor contractually binding the Processor to perform in accordance with Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 in form and substance enforceable by Holder. The Owners acknowledge their primary obligation to pay the Royalty and that no undertaking by the Processor shall relieve the Owners of that obligation.  Subject to Section 8.3, the Owners agree to jointly and severally indemnify, protect and defend Holder from and against (a) any Loss due to a decrease in the Spot Price arising from the Owners’ failure to deliver in-kind credits within the time periods provided by this Agreement for the period from the original due date to the date of delivery of said in-kind credits, and (b) other Losses arising from the default or failure of performance by the Processor hereunder or under any contractual or other arrangements entered into by either Owner with the Processor pursuant to or for the purposes of complying with Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof.  All costs charged by the Processor as a result of complying with the payment provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 shall be paid by Holder, and neither Owner shall have any liability or responsibility therefor.

- 8 -

(2) Cash Payments.  For cash payments, the Owners shall pay the Royalty in cash in accordance with written instructions given to the Owners by Holder as provided in Section 3.2(1)(b), on or before the last Business Day of the month immediately following the end of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement.  Holder may, from time to time in its discretion, change the bank or account number for payment under Section 3.2(1)(b) by giving written notice thereof to the Owners.

3.4 Payment Accounting; Late Charges.

(1) All in-kind credits or cash payments of the Royalty shall be accompanied by a detailed statement explaining the manner in which the credit/payment was calculated together with any available settlement sheets from the Processor.  Such detailed statement shall include the following information:

(a) the quantities of Products sold or otherwise disposed of by an Owner or the amount of such Products derived by, or credited to the account of, an Owner, as the case may be;

(b) the quantities of Products to which such Royalty payment is applicable;

(c) the calculation of the applicable Net Smelter Returns;

(d) the Spot Price for Products;

(e) deductions, if any, by any Processor;

(f) invoices for all other costs applied to the Royalty;

(g) measurements from any commingling of Minerals; and

(h) the calculation of interest accrued on such Royalty payment, if any.

(2) Within 30 days after December 31 of each year, the Owners shall prepare and deliver to Holder a statement for such four quarter period indicating:

(a) the quantities of Products sold or otherwise disposed of by the Owners or the amount of Products derived by, or credit to the account of, the Owners, as the case may be;

(b) the quantities of Products produced by the Owners from the Mineral Property;

(c) the calculation of Net Smelter Returns;

(d) the Spot Price for the Products;

(e) deductions, if any, by the Processor;

(f) invoices for all other costs applied to the Royalty;

(g) measurements from any commingling of Minerals; and

(h) the calculation of interest accrued on any Royalty payments, if any.

- 9 -

In the event the credit/payment of any Royalty is not made within the time set forth above, then the Owners shall pay interest on the delinquent credit/payment at the rate of interest equal to Prime Rate plus six percent per annum which shall accrue from the day the delinquent credit/payment was due to the date of credit/payment of the Royalty, late charge and accrued interest.  Such credits/payments and statements shall be deemed conclusively correct unless Holder objects to them in writing within 12 months after receipt thereof.  If Holder objects to a particular in-kind credit, cash payment or statement as herein provided, Holder will have the right, upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time, to have the Owners’ accounts and records relating to the calculation of the Royalty in question audited by an independent chartered or certified public accountant knowledgeable in the mining industry selected by Holder, provided such auditor acknowledges in writing the confidentiality provisions set out in Section 9.5.  If such audit determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the in-kind credit or cash payment made to Holder, such deficiency or excess will be resolved by adjusting the next quarterly in-kind credit or cash payment due hereunder.  If production has ceased, settlement will be made between the Parties by cash payment.  Holder will pay all costs of such audit unless a deficiency of five percent (5%) or more of the amount due to Holder is determined to exist.  The Owners will pay the costs of such audit if a deficiency of five percent (5%) or more of the amount due is determined to exist.

3.5 Hedging Transactions: Futures; Options; and, Other Trading.

All profits and losses resulting from the Owners engaging in any commodity futures trading, option trading, or metals trading, or any combination thereof, and any other hedging transactions (collectively “hedging transactions”), all of which Holder acknowledges and agrees that Owners are fully entitled to engage in, are specifically excluded from Royalty calculations pursuant to this Agreement.  All hedging transactions by the Owners and all profits or losses associated therewith, if any, shall be solely for Owners’ account.

3.6 Commingling.

Minerals produced from the Mineral Property may not be commingled with minerals from other properties unless Holder shall not be disadvantaged as a result of such commingling or the parties have entered into an agreement to compensate Holder for any such disadvantage.  Before any Minerals produced from the Mineral Property are commingled with minerals from other properties, the Minerals produced from the Mineral Property shall be measured and sampled in accordance with sound mining and metallurgical practices for moisture, metal, commercial minerals and other appropriate content.  Representative samples of the Minerals shall be retained by the Owners and assays (including moisture and penalty substances) and other appropriate analyses of these samples shall be made before commingling to determine metal, commercial minerals, other appropriate content and penalty substances, and gross metal or mineral content of the Minerals.  Detailed records shall be kept by the Owners showing measures, moisture, assays of metal, commercial minerals, other appropriate content and penalty substances, and gross metal or mineral content of the Minerals.  In connection with the foregoing in this Section 3.6, the Owners and Holder shall agree upon a sampling protocol prior to any commingling occurring.  The Owners agree to revisit the sampling protocol if Holder determines that circumstances have changed in order to ensure that the sampling protocol continues to provide for the accurate measurement and sampling of Minerals produced from the Mineral Property.  From this information, the Owners shall determine the amount of Royalty due and payable to Holder from Minerals produced from the Mineral Property commingled with minerals from other properties.

- 10 -

3.7 Conduct of Operations.

(1) All decisions concerning methods, the extent, times, procedures and techniques of any (i) exploration, development and mining related to the Mineral Property, (ii) leaching, milling, processing or extraction treatment and (iii) materials to be introduced on or to the Mineral Property or produced therefrom and all decisions concerning the sale of disposition of ore and Products from the Mineral Property, shall be made by the Owners, acting reasonably and in accordance with good mining industry and engineering practices in the circumstances.

(2) The Owners shall not be responsible for nor obliged to make any Royalty payments for Products or Products value lost in any mining or processing of the Products conducted in accordance with good mining practices. The Owners shall not be required to mine Products which under good mining industry practices cannot be mined and sold at a reasonable profit by the Owners at the time mined.

3.8 Real Property Interest and Registration.

(1) It is the express intention of the Parties to this Agreement that the Royalty is an interest in and to real property, shall run with the title in and to the Mineral Property and be binding upon the successors in interest or title to the Mineral Property. The Royalty shall attach to any amendments, relocations or conversions of any mining concession, license, lease, permit, patent or other tenure comprising the Mineral Property, or to any renewals or extensions thereof.  The Owners shall (i) cause the due registration of this Agreement and the Royalty, or notice of this Agreement and the Royalty, against the title to the Mineral Property to ensure that any successor or assignee or other acquirer of the Mineral Property, or any interest therein, shall have public notice of the terms of this Agreement and the Royalty and in order that Holder may cause to be registered a restriction on title to the Mineral Property restricting the sale, lease, transfer, charge or transfer of charge of the Mineral Property, in whole or in part, without the written consent of Holder pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 17.2 of this Agreement, and (ii) cause any mining concession, license, lease, permit, patent or other tenure comprising the Mineral Property in which the Owners or Parent have or acquires an interest in to be registered in the name of an Owner as soon as reasonably practical.

(2) With respect to the Mineral Property, Holder shall have only the rights and incidents of ownership of a non-executive royalty owner.  Holder shall not have any possessory or working interest in the Mineral Property nor any of the incidents of such interest.  By way of example but not by way of limitation, Holder shall not have (a) the right to participate in the execution of applications for authorities, permits or licenses, mining leases, options, farm-outs or other conveyances, except as deemed necessary by Holder to perfect or protect the Royalty, (b) the right to share in bonus payments or rental payments received as the consideration for the execution of such leases, options, farm-outs, or other conveyances, or (c) the right to enter upon the Mineral Property and prospect for, mine, drill for, or remove ores, minerals or mineral products therefrom except as provided in this Agreement.

- 11 -

3.9 Tax and Additional Amounts
