PART 12

TRANSFERS

12.1 The Optionee may at any time (and from time to time) either during the Option Period or thereafter, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its interest in and to the Property and this Agreement provided that any purchaser, grantee or transferee of any such interest will have first delivered to the Optionor its agreement related to this Agreement and to the Property, containing

(a) a covenant by such transferee to perform all the obligations of the Optionee to be performed under this Agreement in respect of the interest to be acquired by it from the Optionee to the same extent as if this Agreement had been originally executed by the Optionee and such transferee as joint and several obligors making joint and several covenants, and

(b) a provision subjecting any further sale, transfer or other disposition of such interest in the Property and this Agreement or any portion thereof to the restrictions contained in this §13.1.

12.2 No assignment by the Optionee of any interest less than its entire interest in this Agreement and in the Property will, as between the Optionee and the Optionor, discharge it from any of its obligations hereunder, but upon the transfer by the Optionee of the entire interest at the time held by it in this Agreement (whether to one or more transferees and whether in one or in a number of successive transfers), the Optionee will be deemed to be discharged from all obligations hereunder save and except for the fulfilment of contractual commitments accrued due before the date on which the Optionee will have no further interest in this Agreement.

12.3 If the Optionor

(a) receives a bona fide offer from an independent third party ("Proposed Purchaser") dealing at arm's length with the Optionor to purchase all or substantially all of its interest in the Property, which offer the Optionor desires to accept, or

(b) the Optionor intends to sell all or substantially all of its interest in the Option or the Property,

the Optionor will first offer (the "Offer") such interest in writing to the Optionee upon terms no less favourable than those offered by the Proposed Purchaser or intended to be offered by the Optionor, as the case may be.

12.4 The Offer will specify the price and terms and conditions of such sale, the name of the Proposed Purchaser (which term will, in the case of an intended offer by the Optionor, mean the person or persons to whom the Optionor intends to offer its interest) and, if the offer received by the Optionor from the Proposed Purchaser provides for any consideration payable to the Optionor otherwise than in cash, the Offer will include the Optionor good faith estimate of the cash equivalent of the non-cash consideration.

- 10 -

12.5 If within a period of 30 days of the receipt of the Offer the Optionee notifies the Optionor in writing that it will accept the same, the Optionor will be bound to sell such interest to the Optionee (subject as hereinafter provided with respect to price) on the terms and conditions of the Offer.

12.6 If the Offer so accepted by the Optionee contains the Optionor's good faith estimate of the cash equivalent consideration as aforesaid, and if the Optionee disagrees with the Optionor's best estimate, the Optionee will so notify the Optionor at the time of acceptance and the Optionee will, in such notice, specify what it considers, in good faith, the fair cash equivalent to be and the resulting total purchase price.

12.7 If the Optionee so notifies the Optionor, the acceptance by the Optionee will be effective and binding upon the Optionor and the Optionee and the cash equivalent of any such non-cash consideration will be determined by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia) and will be payable by the Optionee, subject to prepayment as hereinafter provided, within 10 days following its determination by arbitration.

12.8 The Optionee will in such case pay to the Optionor, against receipt of an absolute transfer of clear and unencumbered title to the interest of the Optionor being sold, the total purchase price which is specified in its notice to the Optionor and such amount will be credited to the amount determined following arbitration of the cash equivalent of any non-cash consideration.

12.9 If the Optionee fails to notify the Optionor before the expiration of the time limited therefor that it will purchase the interest offered, the Optionor may sell and transfer such interest to the Proposed Purchaser at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer for a period of 45 days, provided that the terms of this Part 13 will again apply to such interest if the sale to the Proposed Purchaser is not completed within the said 45 days.

12.10 Any sale hereunder will be conditional upon the delivery by the Proposed Purchaser to the Optionee of a written undertaking, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Optionee, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

PART 13

SURRENDER AND ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS BEFORE TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

13.1 The Optionee may at any time either before or after the Commencement of Commercial Production, elect to abandon any one or more of the mineral claims comprised in the Property by giving notice to the Optionor of such intention.

13.2 For a period of 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice the Optionor may elect to have any or all of the mineral claims in respect of which such notice has been given transferred to it by delivery of a request therefor to the Optionee, whereupon the Optionee will deliver to the Optionor a quit claim or Xxxx of Sale or other appropriate Deed or assurance in registrable form transferring such mineral claims to the Optionor.

- 11 -

13.3 Any claims so transferred, if in good standing at the date hereof or if the Optionee causes the same to be placed in good standing after the date hereof, will be in good standing under the Mineral Tenure Act for at least six months from the date of transfer. If the Optionor fails to make request for the transfer of any mineral claims as aforesaid within such 30-day period, the Optionee may then abandon such mineral claim without further notice to the Optionor. Upon any such transfer or abandonment the mineral claims so transferred or abandoned will for all purposes of this Agreement cease to form part of the Property.

PART 14

FORCE MAJEURE

14.1 If the Optionee is at any time either during the Option Period or thereafter prevented or delayed in complying with any provisions of this Agreement by reason of strikes, walk-outs, labour shortages, power shortages, fuel shortages, fires, wars, acts of God, governmental regulations restricting normal operations, shipping delays or any other reason or reasons beyond the control of the Optionee, the time limited for the performance by the Optionee of its obligations hereunder will be extended by a period of time equal in length to the period of each such prevention or delay, provided however that nothing herein will discharge the Optionee from its obligations under §4.2.

14.2 The Optionee will within seven days give notice to the Optionor of each event of force majeure under §15.1 and upon cessation of such event will furnish the Optionor with notice to that effect together with particulars of the number of days by which the obligations of the Optionee hereunder have been extended by virtue of such event of force majeure and all preceding events of force majeure.

14.3 After the Commencement of Commercial Production, the Optionee will work, mine and operate the Property during such time or times as the Optionee in its sole judgment considers such operations to be profitable.

14.4 The Optionee may suspend or curtail operations during periods when the products derived from the Property cannot be profitably sold at prevailing prices or if an unreasonable inventory thereof, in the Optionee's sole judgment, has accumulated or would otherwise accumulate.

PART 15

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

15.1 No information furnished by the Optionee to the Optionor hereunder in respect of the activities carried out on the Property by the Optionee, or related to the sale of product derived from the Property, will be published by the Optionor without the written consent of the Optionee, but such consent in respect of the reporting of factual data will not be unreasonably withheld, and will not be withheld in respect of information required to be publicly disclosed pursuant to applicable securities or corporation laws.

PART 16

ARBITRATION

16.1 All questions or matters in dispute with respect to the accounting of moneys expended by the Optionee as provided herein, or with respect to the calculation of or amounts taken into account in the determination of the Royalty or the value of shares paid in §4.3 will be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the terms hereof.

16.2 It will be a condition precedent to the right of any party to submit any matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions hereof, that any party intending to refer any matter to arbitration will have given not less than 30 days' prior written notice of its intention so to do to the other party together with particulars of the matter in dispute.

16.3 On the expiration of such 30 days, the party who gave such notice may proceed to refer the dispute to arbitration as provided in Part 17.

16.5 If the other party will fail to appoint an arbitrator within seven days after receiving notice of the appointment of the first arbitrator, and if the two arbitrators appointed by the parties fail to agree on the appointment of the chairman, the chairman will be appointed under the provision of the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia).

16.6 Except as specifically otherwise provided in this Part 17 the arbitration herein provided for will be conducted in accordance with such Act.

16.7 The chairman, or in the case where only one arbitrator is appointed, the single arbitrator, will fix a time and place in Vancouver, British Columbia, for the purpose of hearing the evidence and representations of the parties, and he will preside over the arbitration and determine all questions of procedure not provided for under such Act or this Part 17.

16.8 After hearing any evidence and representations that the parties may submit, the single arbitrator, or the arbitrators, as the case may be, will make an award and reduce the same to writing, and deliver one copy thereof to each of the parties.

16.9 The expense of the arbitration will be paid as specified in the award.

PART 17

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

17.1 If at any time during the Option Period the Optionee fails to perform any obligation required to be performed hereunder, which failure or breach materially interferes with the implementation of this Agreement, the Optionor may terminate this Agreement but only if

(a) it first gives to the Optionee a notice of default containing particulars of the obligation which the Optionee has not performed, or the warranty breached, and

(b) the Optionee does not, within 30 days after delivery of such notice of default, cure such default if reasonably possible within said 30 days, or begun proceedings to cure such default by appropriate payment or performance if such default reasonably requires more than 30 days (the Optionee hereby agreeing that should it so begin to cure any default it will prosecute the same to completion without undue delay).

SCHEDULE C

NET SMELTER ROYALTY

1. The holder of the working interest in the Property hereby grants the holder of this Royalty (the "Grantee"), a royalty (the "Royalty") on Net Smelter Returns ("Net Smelter Returns") equal to 2% for ore produced from the Original Property and 1% for ore produced from the Additional Property which royalty will be calculated, paid and otherwise regulated in accordance with the terms of this Royalty Deed.

2. For the purposes hereof, Net Smelter Returns will be calculated by taking the gross revenues from the sale by the Owner of all ore mined from the Property and from the sale by the Owner of concentrate and metal derived from ore mined from the Property, allocated between the Original Property and the Additional Property on a reasonable basis and deducting therefrom

(a) ll smelting and refining costs, sampling, assaying and treatment charges and penalties including but not limited to metal losses, penalties for impurities and charges for refining, selling and handling by the smelter, refinery or other purchaser (including price participating charges by smelters and by refiners),

(b) costs of handling, transporting, securing and insuring such material from the Property or from a concentrator, whether situated on or off the Property, to a smelter, refinery or other place of treatment, and in the case of gold or silver concentrates, security costs,

(d) marketing costs, including sales commissions, incurred in selling ore, concentrate and metal produced from the Property.

3. For the purposes of determining Net Smelter Returns, all receipts and disbursements in a currency other than Canadian will be converted into Canadian currency on the day of receipt or disbursement, as the case may be.

4. After the year in which commercial production is commenced on the Property, the Grantee will be provided annually on or before April 1 with a copy of the calculation of Net Smelter Returns and the Royalty, determined in accordance with this Royalty Deed, for the preceding calendar year, certified correct by the Owner.

5. Payments on the Royalty for each calendar year will be made in Canadian dollars on or before April 1 after the end of the year in which Net Smelter Returns, as determined on the basis of final adjusted invoices, are received by the Owner.

6. All Royalty Payments to be made to the Grantee by the Owner will be made to the Grantee at a bank specified by the Grantee in §7.

- 2 -

7. Upon 30 days' prior written notice by the Owner to the Grantee, the Grantee will designate a "Payment Bank" for payment, such payments to continue at the Payment Bank notwithstanding any assignment or transfer of the Royalty.

8. If the Payment Bank (or any successor bank) fails, liquidates or is succeeded by another bank, or for any reason fails or refuses to accept any payment, the Owner will not be held in default for failure to make such payment until 60 days after the Grantee has notified the Owner of the name of another bank which will act as the Grantee's agent to receive the payments.

9. Nothing contained in this Royalty Deed or any Schedule hereto will be construed as conferring upon any person receiving a percentage of Net Smelter Returns any right to or beneficial interest in the Property, and the right to receive a percentage of Net Smelter Returns from the Owner as and when due is and will be deemed to be a contractual right only, and will not be deemed to constitute the Owner the partner, agent or legal representative of such person or to create any fiduciary relationship between them for any purpose whatsoever.

10. The Owner may, but will not be under any duty to, engage in price protection (hedging) or speculative transactions such as futures contracts and commodity options in its sole discretion covering all or part of production from the Property and, except in the case where products are actually delivered and a sale is actually consummated under this price protection or speculative transactions, neither the profits or losses from such transactions will be taken into account in calculating Net Smelter Returns or any interest therein.

11. The Owner will be entitled to make all operational decisions with respect to the methods and extent of mining and processing of ore, concentrate and metal produced from the Property (for example, without limitation, the decision to process by heap leaching rather than conventional milling).

12. If the Property is brought into commercial production, it may be operated as a single operation with other mining properties owned by third parties or in which the Owner has an interest, in which event (notwithstanding separate ownership thereof) ores mined from the mining properties (including the Property) may be blended at the time of mining or at any time thereafter.

13. If §2 applies, the respective mining properties will bear and have allocated to them their proportionate part of costs described in §2(a) to (d) incurred relating to the single operation, and there will be allocated to each of them the proportionate part of the revenues earned relating to such single operation, all as determined from records maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

14. In making any such allocation, effect will be given to the tonnages of ore and other material mined and beneficiated and the characteristics of such material including the metal content of ore removed from, and to any special charges relating particularly to ore, concentrates or other products or the treatment thereof derived from, any of such mining properties.

- 3 -

15. The Owner will ensure that reasonable practices and procedures are adopted and employed for weighing, determining mineral content, sampling and assaying and determining recovery factors.

16. Except for payments of the Royalty, all notices, designations, or other documents required or authorized by the terms of this Royalty Deed will be in writing and will be personally delivered or mailed in Canada by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the address of the intended recipient given by notice pursuant to the Agreement to which this is a Schedule.
