Page 2 of 27
| 1.1 |
|
Subject
to TSX Venture Exchange approval under §25 and the execution of a private placement
subscription agreement satisfactory to TCAI that White Knight Resources Ltd. will prepare
and deliver to TCAI, TCAI, either directly or through an assignee, agrees to purchase
from White Knight Resources Ltd. in a private placement one million five hundred thousand
(1,500,000) “Units”, each Unit comprised of one fully paid and
non-assessable Common Share of White Knight Resources Ltd. (with a hold period of no more
than 4 months) and one share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”). Each
warrant shall entitle TCAI, or its assignee, to purchase one additional fully paid and
non-assessable common share of White Knight Resources Ltd. at a price of Canadian two
dollars and fifty cents (CDN$2.50) for a period of one (1) year from and after the
private placement closing date. The private placement closing date shall be as mutually
agreed between the parties, but in no event later than 30 days after WKR notifies TCAI
that it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval under §25. |
| 1.2 |
|
The
price payable by TCAI, or its assignee, for each Unit will be Canadian one dollar and
fifty eight cents (CDN$1.58) for a total purchase price of Canadian two million three
hundred and seventy thousand dollars (CDN$2,370,000). The purchase price is payable in
full by TCAI, or its assignee, to White Knight Resources Ltd. on the private placement
closing date. |
| 2.1 |
|
White
Knight Resources Ltd. agrees to grant TCAI the preferential right to participate in
each Future Financing undertaken by White Knight Resources Ltd. where Future
Financings means sales or offers of sale by White Knight Resources Ltd. of
shares of its common stock whether by private placement or public offerings.
Future Financings do not include stock options or similar plans or the exercise of
existing outstanding warrants. |
| |
(a) |
|
At
its election, if at the time of any Future Financing TCAI holds less than ten
percent (10%) of the outstanding common shares of White Knight Resources Ltd.
on a fully diluted basis, it shall have the right to participate up to a
maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the Future Financing; |
| |
(b) |
|
At
its election, if at the time of any Future Financing TCAI holds ten percent
(10%) or more of the outstanding common shares of White Knight Resources Ltd.
on a fully diluted basis, it shall have the right to participate in any Future
Financing in an amount sufficient to avoid any dilution of its interest in the
capital stock of White Knight Resources Ltd.; |
| |
(c) |
|
TCAI
may make such election subject to such conditions as are reasonable in the
circumstances including that the Future Financing is subscribed to for at least
80% of the offering. If the level of the offering is subscribed to at a level
of less than 80% but exceeds the minimum offering then TCAI may reduce the
amount of its subscription to a percentage amount equal to the percentage that
TCAI’s original election was of the original “fully subscribed” offering; |
| |
(d) |
|
With
respect to the private placement referenced in §1 and all Future
Financings, it shall be the responsibility of White Knight Resources Ltd. to
comply with all laws, rules, regulations and policies of any applicable
jurisdictions and all policies and procedures of its listing stock exchange at
its expense; |
Page 3 of 27
| |
(e) |
|
White
Knight Resources Ltd. agrees to provide TCAI at least seven (7) business days
advance written notice of any Future Financing. Said notice shall include the
intended use of the funds from the Future Financing, the minimum amount
required to be raised, if any, the intended sources for such funds and all
other material terms of the Future Financing. The information about a Future
Financing supplied to TCAI shall not be less than that supplied to other
potential investors in the Future Financing; and |
| |
(f) |
|
White
Knight Resources Ltd. agrees that TCAI may in its discretion and without the
prior approval of White Knight Resources Ltd. assign its right to participate
in Future Financings to any parent, affiliate, subsidiary, associated, or
related company. |
| 2.2 |
|
Nothing
in this Agreement shall limit TCAI’s rights to purchase or otherwise acquire shares
or other securities of White Knight Resources Ltd. in addition to the shares or other
securities purchased by TCAI pursuant to this Agreement. However TCAI shall not purchase
shares such that its aggregate interest exceeds 10% of the share capital of White Knight
Resources Ltd. on a fully diluted basis without first seeking prior written approval of
White Knight, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. |
| 2.3 |
|
TCAI's
right to participate in Future Financings shall terminate upon the later of the: |
| |
(a) |
|
termination
of the option, or any joint venture formed, with respect to the Fye Property;
and |
| |
(b) |
|
termination
of the option, or any joint venture formed, with respect to the Celt Property. |
| 3.1 |
|
WKR
hereby grants TCAI a right to elect to enter into an option agreement with respect to the
Celt Property on exactly the same terms as those applying to the Fye Property Option
under this Agreement. TCAI may elect to exercise this right by providing notice to WKR on
or before November 1, 2004 and thereafter delivering an agreement to WKR for the Celt
Property encompassing the terms of the Fye Property Option. For clarity no additional
investment with respect to a private placement or otherwise is required for TCAI to
exercise this right. |
| 3.2 |
|
WKR
covenants, until TCAI’s right under §3.1 expires, not to dispose of any part or
portion of the Celt Property except in accord with the terms of this Agreement or enter
into any agreement or do anything that would create a lien or encumbrance on the Celt
Property except as permitted herein; not to enter into any contract or agreement with
respect to the Celt Property which would in away negatively impact TCAI’s rights to
exercise its Option as provided for herein; and that it will comply with all governmental
requirements and laws respecting WKR’s use and operation of the Celt Property,
including the Environmental Laws. |
| 3.3 |
|
WKR
represents that it will make the same representations and warranties with respect to the
Celt Property as made with respect to the Fye Property under §19.2. |
| 4.1 |
|
Subject
as hereinafter provided, WKR hereby grants TCAI an option (the “Option”)
to earn an initial 51% undivided right, title and interest in and to the Fye Property. |
Page 4 of 27
| 4.2 |
|
As
consideration for the granting of the Option, TCAI shall make the following optional
cash payments, for an aggregate of $750,000, to White Knight Gold (U.S.) Inc. as
follows: |
| |
(a) |
|
on
the first anniversary of this Agreement, $50,000; |
| |
(b) |
|
on
or before December 31, 2006, an additional $100,000; |
| |
(c) |
|
on
or before December 31, 2007, an additional $250,000; and |
| |
(d) |
|
on
or before December 31, 2008, an additional $350,000. |
| 4.3 |
|
TCAI
may exercise the Option by incurring the following expenditures (the "Expenditures")
on the Fye Property: |
| |
(a) |
|
on
or before December 31, 2005, TCAI shall incur a minimum of $500,000 in
Expenditures (note that, subject only to §25.1, this first amount is a
guaranteed Expenditure under this Agreement and the balance of the Expenditures
are optional); |
| |
(b) |
|
on
or before December 31, 2006, TCAI shall incur a minimum of $1,250,000 in
Expenditures in the aggregate; |
| |
(c) |
|
on
or before December 31, 2007, TCAI shall incur a minimum of $2,500,000 in
Expenditures in the aggregate; and |
| |
(d) |
|
on
or before December 31, 2008, TCAI shall incur a minimum of $4,000,000 in
Expenditures in the aggregate. |
| |
The
amounts required to be spent within the periods referred to in §4.3(a) to §4.3(d)
hereof are cumulative, aggregate amounts and accordingly, all Expenditures incurred in a
particular period, including any excess in the amount of Expenditures required to be
incurred to maintain the Option to the end of such period, shall be carried over and
included in the aggregate amount of Expenditures for the subsequent period. |
| 4.4 |
|
If
TCAI terminates the Option prior to December 31, 2005 then any shortfall between the
actual Expenditures incurred and the guaranteed Expenditure requirement of $500,000
contemplated in §4.3(a) shall be due and owing in cash within 30 days of the date of
such termination. If that shortfall is not paid by that date it shall accrue interest
from the original date due at a rate of prime, for the period of calculation, as quoted
by the Bank of America, as being charged by it on United States Dollar demand loans to
its most creditworthy domestic commercial customers (the “Prime Rate”) plus 2%,
calculated monthly, until paid. |
| 4.5 |
|
Upon
TCAI making the cash payments under §4.2 and expending an aggregate of $4,000,000 in
Expenditures under §4.3, TCAI shall forthwith provide WKR written notice of such
Expenditures (the “Earn-in Notice”), which shall include a statement in
reasonable detail evidencing such Expenditures and a technical report on the results
obtained from such Expenditures. |
| 5. |
|
Deficiencies
in Expenditures |
| 5.1 |
|
If
TCAI has not incurred the requisite Expenditures under §4.3 to maintain the Option
in good standing, TCAI may pay to WKR, within 30 days following the Expenditure due date,
the amount of the deficiency and the amount |
Page 5 of 27
| |
of
such deficiency shall thereupon be deemed to have been Expenditures incurred by TCAI. |
| 6.1 |
|
“Expenditures” include: |
| |
(a) |
|
all
costs, expenses, charges and outlays, direct and indirect, funded or incurred
by or on behalf of TCAI on or in respect of the Fye Property from the date
hereof until the formation of the JV, and thereafter during the term of the JV
by the Operator, including, without limiting generality, all costs, including
but not limited to, costs for prospecting, claim staking, tenure obligations,
maintaining the Underlying Agreement (including cash payments and any royalties
payable thereunder), taxes, mapping, surveying, permitting, geochemical
surveys, geophysical surveys, sampling, assaying, trenching, drilling,
geochemical analyses, road building, drill site preparation, drafting, report
writing, consultants, all costs related to the preparation of a Feasibility
Study and production program, all costs spent or incurred directly or
indirectly in connection with a production program in order to equip the Fye
Property or a part thereof for commercial production, all costs, incurred or
chargeable, directly or indirectly, by the Operator in connection with
operating the Fye Property as a mine and all other project expenditures; and |
| |
(b) |
|
a
fee for administrative services and head office services overhead provided by
or on behalf of TCAI during the term of the Option and thereafter by the
Operator and not recovered directly in §6.1(a) above, which charge shall

| |
|

| |
|
(ii) |
|
3%
of mine construction costs; and |
| |
|
(iii) |
|
2%

the time incurred by TCAI’s or the Operator’s, as the case may be, head office
management and support functions in respect of work carried out on or in respect of the
Fye Property. It is intended that TCAI or the Operator, as the case may be, shall not
profit nor suffer loss by virtue of providing the services. This charge shall not be
subject to audit but may be reviewed, in good faith, by the parties from time to time, at
the election of either party. |
| 7. |
|
Holding
of the Fye Property |
| 7.1 |
|
Initially
WKR shall hold title to the Fye Property in trust for the parties, other than those lands
subject to the Underlying Agreement which shall be held in trust for the parties by
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx. TCAI may register this Agreement against title to the Fye Property.
TCAI may request that WKR and, if so requested, WKR shall promptly execute and deliver to
TCAI a transfer of the portions of the Fye Property held by WKR in recordable form. TCAI
shall then hold such portions of the Fye Property in trust for the parties as their
interests may appear as provided for herein. On the formation of any JV under §11,
the Operator shall then hold such portions of the Fye Property in trust for the parties
as their interests may appear as provided for herein. |

respect to the Fye Property which were not previously delivered to WKR. |
| |
(e) |
|
if
TCAI holds title to the Fye Property, promptly execute and deliver to WKR a
transfer of the Fye Property in recordable form. |
| 10. |
|
Interest
to be Earned by TCAI |
| 10.1 |
|
Upon
TCAI exercising the Option, by making the cash payments referred to in §4.2 within
the time referred to therein, incurring the Expenditures referred to in §4.3 within
the time referred to therein or paying any deficiencies as provided for in §5.1, and
delivering to WKR the Earn-in Notice under §4.5, (the “Participation Date”)
TCAI shall have earned a 51% undivided right, title and interest in and to the Fye
Property and WKR shall retain a 49% interest in the Fye Property and the parties shall
form a joint venture under §11. |
| 11. |
|
Formation,
Funding and Dilution of the JV |
| 11.1 |
|
On
the Participation Date, a joint venture (“JV”) shall be formed between
TCAI and WKR with the JV interests being 51% TCAI – 49% WKR and the JV shall be
governed by the terms outlined under §11 through §16. |
Page 9 of 27
| 11.2 |
|
On
the Participation Date each parties initial deemed Expenditure for the purposes of the JV
shall be based on their pro rata share of total Expenditures (“TE”),
where TE shall be $4,000,00 in the case of TCAI and $3,840,000 for WKR. Subsequent to the
Participation Date, the respective interests of the parties shall be determined from time
to time as being equal to the product obtained by: |
| |
(b) |
|
the
respective parties initial deemed Expenditures on the Participation Date plus
the amount of the respective parties’ contributions to Expenditures
subsequent to the Participation Date; |
| |
(c) |
|
divided
by the TE plus the amount of all contributions to Expenditures made subsequent
to the Participation Date by all parties. |
| 11.3 |
|
From
formation of the JV each party shall be liable for its pro rata share of costs in
accordance with its interest in the JV. |
| 11.4 |
|
If
a party elects not to contribute its pro rata share of Expenditures of a work program or
Feasibility Study (and the other party contributes to the shortfall thereby created), the
interests of the parties shall be adjusted according to §11.2 so that each party
holds an interest proportionate to its deemed and actual contributions. If any party
dilutes its interest to less than 10% in the JV, its interest shall then be converted to
a 2% net smelter returns royalty (the “NSR”), as further defined in
Schedule “C”. However, if any program is completed with less than 80% of
the budgeted Expenditures having been incurred, the non-contributing party may
contribute, within 30 days, its proportionate share of the actual Expenditures incurred
and thereby maintain its interest. |
| 11.5 |
|
A
party shall be entitled to surrender its interest to the other party on notice to it. A
surrender of interest shall not release a party from liabilities accrued prior to the
effective surrender date. Should the other party not consent to receive the interest
offered for surrender under this §11.5 then the JV shall be terminated and the
assets shall be liquidated or sold and the assets or proceeds from the sale thereof
distributed to the parties, net of liabilities hereunder or related thereto, in
accordance with their interests in the JV. Each party shall be responsible for its share
of all costs and expenses related to such termination and liquidation. |
| 11.6 |
|
Upon
payment for Expenditures incurred by the Operator under the JV a party contributing to
those Expenditures shall be entitled to all tax benefits with respect thereto. |
| 12. |
|
Management
Committee, Operator and Programs Under the JV |
| 12.1 |
|
Upon
the formation of a JV, a management committee (the “Management Committee”)
shall be formed to manage all exploration, development and operating programs on the Fye
Property. The Management Committee shall be comprised of two representatives from each
party having an interest in the Fye Property. Each party’s representatives shall
have a collective vote equal to the interest held by the party they represent and the
Operator shall have the deciding vote in the case of a tie. |
| 12.2 |
|
Except
as otherwise specifically provided for herein to the contrary, TCAI shall be the initial
operator (the “Operator”) of all programs on the Fye Property, and shall
remain as Operator so |
Page 10 of 27
| |
long
as TCAI holds at least a 51% interest in the JV. If TCAI holds less than a 51% interest
in the JV WKR shall be entitled to elect to become Operator. |
| 12.3 |
|
Prior
to a production decision the Operator shall propose draft work programs, by February 28th of
each year, for Management Committee approval and carry out approved programs. Any
Feasibility Study or Preliminary Feasibility Study shall be prepared under a separate
program and budget. |
| 12.4 |
|
Each
party may, within 30 days of Management Committee approval, elect to contribute its
proportionate share of the Expenditures required to conduct each program. If a party (for
the purposes hereof a “Non-Contributor”) elects or is deemed to have
elected not to contribute its cost share of a program, each other party (for the purposes
hereof a “Contributor”) that has elected to contribute its cost share of
the program may give notice in writing to the Operator and the Non-Contributor stating
that it will contribute, in addition to its own cost share, the cost share of the
Non-Contributor. |
| 12.5 |
|
Except
as provided for in §12.7, the Operator will not proceed with any program which is
not fully subscribed. If the parties fully subscribe to a program, the Operator will
proceed with such program. |
| 12.6 |
|
The
Operator may invoice for exploration Expenditures incurred or to cash call reasonably in
advance of requirements. If a party has approved a program and does not pay the amount
invoiced for said program within 30 days, the Operator may demand payment. If payment is
not made within 30 days of demand, and subject to §12.7, the other party may elect
to either: |
| |
(a) |
|
advance
all of the unpaid cost share of the defaulting party. If the other party
advances such unpaid share, then they or it will be entitled to recover the
amount so paid, together with interest thereon from the date so paid at a per
annum rate equal to Prime Rate plus 4%. The party making the advance shall have
a lien against the defaulting party’s interest, which it may enforce by
selling the defaulting party’s interest; or |
| |
(b) |
|
pay
the amount of the defaulted payment and the defaulting party shall be deemed to
have incurred dilution at a rate equal to twice the standard dilution rate,
their interest shall be adjusted and the deemed total Expenditures of each
party shall be adjusted to reflect the interest held; provided that if a party’s
interest is reduced to less than 10% it shall be deemed to have assigned and
conveyed its interest to the other party and be entitled to a 2% NSR. |
| 12.7 |
|
If
in any year there is no approved program and circumstances are such that the Operator
must incur costs in order to maintain tenure to the Fye Property, to satisfy contractual
obligations or obligations imposed by law or to prevent waste or protect life and
property, the Operator shall be entitled to propose a program (the “mandatory
program”) of Expenditures to maintain tenure to the Fye Property, to satisfy
contractual obligations that have been entered into as the result of a previously
approved program and to satisfy obligations imposed by law or to prevent waste or protect
life and property. The mandatory program shall be deemed to be approved and each of the
parties shall be obligated to contribute its proportionate share of Expenditures. If
payment is not made within 30 days of written demand, the other party may elect to
advance the amount of the defaulted payment and the defaulting party shall be deemed to
have forfeited its rights to participate in future programs and its interest shall then
be converted to a 2% NSR. If a written demand is made as aforesaid, it shall contain a
reminder to the party upon which demand is being |
Page 11 of 27
| |
made
that its interests under this Agreement will be converted to a NSR interest if
payment of its proportionate share is not made as demanded. |
| 12.8 |
|
If
the Management Committee elects to abandon any claim comprising the Fye Property and one
party (the “Contesting Party”) has voted against such abandonment, then
each party shall be notified of such abandonment at least 60 days prior to the
anniversary of the recording date for the claim to be abandoned. If the Contesting Party,
within 30 days of receiving a notice of abandonment, notifies the Management Committee
that the Contesting Party wishes to acquire the abandoned claim, then the parties shall
cause a transfer of the claim to be abandoned to the Contesting Party as soon as
practicable thereafter without any payment to the other parties, however the Contesting
Party shall be responsible for the costs of the transfer. |

Additional
TCAI Option |
| 13.1 |
|
Upon
the earlier of the JV completing: |
| |
(a) |
|
$8.0
million in Expenditures from the formation of the JV; or |
| |
(b) |
|
a
Preliminary Feasibility Study on the Fye Property, |
| |
the
Operator shall forthwith provide the parties written notice (the “Additional
Rights Notice”) which shall include a copy of the Expenditures incurred to date
and, if applicable, a copy of the Preliminary Feasibility Study. |
| |
“Preliminary
Feasibility Study” means a comprehensive study, prepared in good faith, of the
viability of exploiting a mineral deposit on the Fye Property that has advanced to a
stage where the mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit
configuration, in the case of an open pit, has been established, and includes an
effective method of mineral processing and a financial analysis based on reasonable
assumptions of technical, engineering, operating, economic factors and the evaluation of
other relevant factors which are sufficient for a Qualified Person, as defined in §14.2,
acting reasonably, to determine that all or part of the mineral resource may be
classified as a mineral reserve. |
| 13.2 |
|
TCAI
will have a one-time option to elect to earn an additional 9% interest in the JV and Fye
Property (“Additional Interest”) by sole funding and completing a
Feasibility Study within 4 years of the Additional Rights Notice (the “Additional
Earn-in Right”). |
| 13.3 |
|
TCAI
may elect to invoke the Additional Earn-in Right with respect to the Fye Property by
delivering written notice to WKR, at any time up to 60 days after the delivery by the
Operator of the Additional Rights Notice. If TCAI fails to deliver such notice within
such applicable 60 day period the Additional Earn-in Right shall terminate. |
| 13.4 |
|
After
electing to invoke the Additional Earn-in Right TCAI shall commence a Feasibility Study
and incur a minimum of $500,000 in Expenditures per calendar year until the completion of
such Feasibility Study or earlier termination of the Additional Earn-in Right under §13.5.
If TCAI fails to meet the minimum annual expenditure requirement then WKR may by
providing Notice to TCAI, revoke the Additional Earn-in Right, in which case, TCAI shall: |
| |
(a) |
|
have
no further obligation to sole fund Expenditures to earn the Additional
Interest; |
Page 12 of 27
| |
(b) |
|
pay
WKR any shortfall between the actual Expenditures incurred and the requirement
of $500,000 per calendar year contemplated above, which shall be due and owing
in cash within 30 days of the date of termination of the Additional Earn-in
Right; and |
| |
(c) |
|
retain
the interest it held prior to invoking the Additional Earn-in Right and the
provisions of the JV shall apply to further funding. |
| |
However,
if TCAI has been diligent in carrying out the Feasibility Study but has been prevented or
delayed from being able to expend funds effectively or efficiently to meet the minimum
annual expenditure requirement by events of force majeure or by technical, engineering,
permitting, local or social issues, or country/global financing issues that are outside
the control of TCAI, acting reasonably, then WKR may not revoke the Additional Interest
Earn-in Right. |
| 13.5 |
|
After
electing to invoke the Additional Earn-in Right TCAI may at any time notify WKR that TCAI
does not wish to earn the Additional Interest, in which case, TCAI shall have no further
obligation to sole fund Expenditures to earn the Additional Interest, TCAI shall retain
the interest it held prior to invoking the Additional Earn-in Right and the provisions of
the JV shall apply to further funding. |
| 13.6 |
|
If
TCAI invokes the Additional Earn-in Right and completes a Feasibility Study within the
time referred to in §13.2, subject to any extensions under §13.8, TCAI shall
have earned the Additional Interest. |
| 13.7 |
|
If
TCAI earns the Additional Interest, if a positive production decision is made and if
requested by WKR under §15.1, TCAI shall arrange project financing on behalf of WKR
as provided for in §15.1. |
| 13.8 |
|
If
TCAI has initiated but not completed a Feasibility Study within 4 years of the Additional
Rights Notice (subject to force majeure and permitting issues) it may elect to extend the
time limit to complete Feasibility Study (so long as it is in good faith diligently
working to complete such feasibility study) for additional annual periods of 12 months by
making cash payments to WKR of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for each 12 month
extension. |
| 13.9 |
|
If
TCAI invokes the Additional Earn-in Right and does not complete a Feasibility Study
within the time referred to in §13.2, subject to any extensions under §13.8, it
shall lose the right to earn the Additional Interest, it shall retain the interest it
held prior to invoking the Additional Earn-in Right and the provisions of the JV shall
apply to further funding. |
| 14. |
|
Feasibility
Study Defined |
| 14.1 |
|
“Feasibility
Study” means a comprehensive report, prepared in good faith and signed by a
Qualified Person, that shows the feasibility of placing the Fye Property or part thereof
into commercial production. The Feasibility Study shall contain all geological,
engineering, operating, economic and other relevant factors which are to be considered in
sufficient detail that, in the opinion of a Qualified Person, the Feasibility Study could
reasonably serve as the basis for a decision by an independent commercial financial
institution to finance the development of the Fye Property for commercial production. The
Feasibility Study shall examine the following matters: ore reserves; mining methods;
metallurgy and processing (including metal recovery); environment, tailings and waste
disposal; capital and operating cost estimates; manpower, social and community affairs;
transportation methods and costs; marketing; project financing |
Page 13 of 27
| |
alternatives;
a sensitivity analysis; such other matters as are appropriate. The Feasibility Study
shall include at least the following information: |
| |
(a) |
|
a
description of that part of the Fye Property to be covered by the proposed
mine; |
| |
(b) |
|
the
estimated recoverable reserves of minerals and the estimated composition and
content thereof; |
| |
(c) |
|
the
proposed procedure for development, mining and production; |
| |
(d) |
|
results
of ore amenability tests; |
| |
(e) |
|
the
nature and extent of the facilities proposed to be acquired which may include
mill facilities, if the size, extent and location of the ore body makes such
mill facilities feasible, in which event the study shall also include a
preliminary design for such mill; |
| |
(f) |
|
the
total costs, including capital budget, which are reasonably required to
purchase, construct and install all structures, machinery and equipment
required for the proposed mine, including a schedule of timing of such
requirements; |
| |
(g) |
|
all
environmental impact studies prepared to date and the anticipated future costs
of reclamation; |
| |
(h) |
|
the
period in which it is proposed the Fye Property shall be brought to commercial
production; |
| |
(i) |
|
such
other data and information as are reasonably necessary to substantiate the
existence of an ore deposit of sufficient size and grade to justify development
of a mine, taking into account all relevant business, tax and other economic
considerations; and |
| |
(j) |
|
working
capital requirements for the initial four months of operation of the Property
as a mine or such longer period as may be reasonably justified in the
circumstances. |
| 14.2 |
|
“Qualified
Person” means an individual who: |
| |
(a) |
|
is
an engineer or geoscientist with at least five years relevant experience and
expertise in mineral exploration, mine development or operation or mineral
project assessment, or any combination of these; |
| |
(b) |
|
has
experience relevant to the subject matter of the mineral project and the
technical report; and |
| |
(c) |
|
is
a member in good standing of a professional association. |
| 15.1 |
|
If
TCAI has earned the Additional Interest, upon the Management Committee approving a
production plan under §00.0, XXX will have the option to request that TCAI arrange
financing for WKR’s share of the capital costs required to develop the Fye Property.
WKR may exercise this option by providing notice to TCAI within 45 days of the Management
Committee approving a production plan under §16.2. TCAI shall then commit to either: |
Page 14 of 27
| |
(a) |
|
use
its best efforts to arrange or provide project debt financing for not less than
60% of the projected capital costs on a limited recourse basis after technical
completion (the “Debt Financing”), and in connection therewith
TCAI shall be entitled to arrange such Debt Financing on such terms as it deems
fit and may commit, on behalf of WKR, the whole of the Fye Property as security
for such financing. For greater clarity TCAI shall not be obliged to agree to
project loan rates higher than those that would be payable if TCAI remained
liable in respect of such financing after technical completion and, if Debt
Financing is provided by a third party, the terms of any financing arranged for
WKR shall be on terms no less favorable than those arranged for TCAI; and |
| |
|
(i) |
|
if
TCAI elects to arrange the Debt Financing, and if project costs exceed the
amount available for Debt Financing and the parties elect nonetheless to
put the Fye Property into commercial production, then at WKR’s
election, TCAI shall also arrange or provide WKR’s portion of equity
financing on a subordinate loan basis at LIBOR (“LIBOR” means
the average London Inter Bank Offered Rate, for three-month US dollar
borrowings, posted by the British Bankers Association, currently at their
website xxx.xxx.xxx.xx but at such other locations as they may post if
this website changes, two business days prior to the commencement of the
calendar quarter.) plus 4% per annum, calculated monthly. |
| |
|
(ii) |
|
even
if third party project debt financing is available at acceptable rates,
TCAI may nevertheless, itself, elect to use its best efforts to arrange or
provide project financing for 100% of the projected capital costs, through
other means, and shall provide such financing to WKR on a subordinate loan
basis at Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, calculated monthly and in
connection therewith TCAI shall be entitled to arrange such financing on
such terms as it deems fit and may commit, on behalf of the WKR, the whole
of the Fye Property as security for such financing; |
| 15.2 |
|
For
greater clarity if TCAI is able to raise financing on commercially reasonable terms and
does not arrange the financing, then the Additional Interest earned shall be returned to
WKR. |
| 15.3 |
|
TCAI’s
obligation to arrange or provide project financing on WKR’s behalf, is
non-assignable by WKR and WKR’s option to elect to have TCAI provide such project
financing shall terminate if: |
| |
(a) |
|
White
Knight Resources Ltd. is controlled by a third party (defined as a party
holding a right to at least 30% of the voting shares of White Knight Resources
Ltd.); or |
| |
(b) |
|
White
Knight Gold (U.S.) Inc. ceases to be 100% owned by White Knight Resources Ltd. |
| |
For
clarity in such a case TCAI shall have no obligation to return any of the Additional
Interest earned. |
| 15.4 |
|
If
TCAI provides financing for WKR under §15.1, the available free cash flows from the
project, after deduction of operating costs, shall be used, firstly, to retire Debt
Financing (including principal, interest and a charge (to cover TCAI’s direct costs)
attributable to any guarantees provided by TCAI (the “Project Debt”))
and the balance shall be divided and paid as follows: |
Page 15 of 27
| |
|
(i) |
|
100%
of the free cash flow attributable to TCAI’s interest shall be paid to
TCAI; and |
| |
|
(ii) |
|
until
any subordinated loan provided under under 15.1(a)(i) or 15.1(a)(ii) has
been repaid, 85% of the free cash flow attributable to WKR’s interest
shall be paid to TCAI, to recover the principal and interest of such
subordinated loan, and 15% shall be paid to WKR, and |
| |
|
(iii) |
|
after
any subordinated loan provided under 15.1(a)(i) or 15.1(a)(ii) has been
repaid, 100% of the free cash flow attributable to WKR’s interest
shall be paid to WKR, |
| 15.5 |
|
In
connection with and as security for the financing, WKR shall also provide TCAI with the
right (but not the obligation) to market WKR’s share of production until the payback
of the initial development cost (the Project Debt and the subordinated loan). TCAI may
have the right to charge a competitive marketing fee. |
| 16. |
|
Developing
and Operating the Fye Property as a Mine |
| 16.1 |
|
Any
decision to place the Fye Property into production is to be based on a production plan
approved by the Management Committee and based on an approved Feasibility Study with such
modifications, if any, as the Management Committee considers necessary or desirable and
which do not have a material negative impact upon either party. |
| 16.2 |
|
Upon
delivery of a production plan on the Fye Property the Management Committee may approve a
production plan (including a cost estimate, with reasonable allowance for contingencies,
which the Management Committee considers necessary to implement the production plan,
together with a schedule of advances which the parties shall be required to make in
respect of Expenditures required to construct and to operate the mine) and the giving of
a notice to each of the parties that a decision has been made to construct a mine on the
Fye Property. |
| 16.3 |
|
Each
party may, by notice within 60 days of receipt of an approved production plan, elect to
participate in placing the Fye Property into production by committing to contribute its
proportionate share of the capital Expenditures required to construct and to operate the
mine in proportion to its interest, or some lesser share but at least 10%. If a party so
elects to contribute, it shall be deemed to hold an interest equivalent to that
percentage it elected to contribute. If either TCAI or WKR elects not to contribute, it
shall be deemed to have assigned its interest to the other party, in consideration for a
2% NSR, if that other party elects to increase its contribution thereby. If a party
elects to fund some lesser share than its entire interest percentage, but at least 10%,
the interest that was forgone in the election shall be deemed to have been assigned to
the other party, for no consideration, if that other party elects to increase its
contribution thereby. No party shall be required to provide any completion guarantees,
unless completion guarantees are required by lenders providing project financing, in
which case each party shall provide guarantees acceptable to those lenders. No party may
mortgage its interest in the Fye Property except to a lender that provides project
financing and which agrees that upon any realization of its security it shall observe all
of the terms of the JV and Agreement including right of first offer provisions in the
Agreement to the same extent as if its borrower proposed to sell its interest in the Fye
Property. If elections have not been made to fully fund the capital Expenditures then the
production plan shall be deemed withdrawn. |
Page 16 of 27
| 16.4 |
|
A
mine shall be constructed substantially in conformity with the production plan approved
under §16.2, but subject to the right of the Management Committee to approve such
reasonable variations in construction as it may deem advisable. |
| 16.5 |
|
A
mine shall be operated on the basis of annual operating plans approved by the Management
Committee; provided that the Management Committee may temporarily suspend or permanently
terminate operations pursuant to a suspension or closure plan approved by it. |
| 16.6 |
|
The
Operator may invoice for mine capital Expenditures or operating Expenditures incurred or
to cash call reasonably in advance of requirements. If a party does not pay the amount
invoiced within 30 days, the Operator may demand payment. If payment is not made within
30 days of demand the other party may elect to pay all or a portion of the unpaid cost
share of the defaulting participant. If the other party advances such unpaid share, then
they or it shall be entitled to recover the amount so paid, together with interest
thereon from the date so paid at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate plus 4%. The party
making the advance shall have a lien against the defaulting participants interest and
shall have: |
| |
(a) |
|
the
right to take possession of all or a portion of the defaulting participant’s
interest in the Fye Property and to sell, or purchase, such interest to recover
the amount of such default; provided that |
| |
(b) |
|
if
the Fye Property is in production the party making the advance may, in the
interim of proceeding under §16.6(a) above, have a prior and a first
right, after retirement of project debt, to receive the share of mineral
products of the defaulting party until such party has received mineral products
in kind of a value equal to (after the costs of sale and costs of enforcement
of the lien) the amount advanced, together with interest thereon at the rate
specified. |
| 16.7 |
|
The
definitive option joint venture agreement contemplated under §28.3 shall provide for
suspension of operations during sustained periods of negative operating cash flow and for
resumption of suspended operations. |
| 16.8 |
|
Subject
to §15.5, a party contributing to mine costs shall take, in kind, its proportionate
share of any minerals produced and to separately dispose of the same. |
| 17. |
|
Restrictions
On Alienation and Right of First Offer |
| 17.1 |
|
Except
in accordance with this Agreement no party shall transfer, sell, dispose or encumber its
interest in the Fye Property. Subject to §17.4, this Agreement may not be assigned
by either party without the written consent of the other party, and any attempt to assign
this Agreement or delegate performance hereunder without such consent shall be void. |
| 17.2 |
|
No
party shall institute any proceedings to partition the Fye Property. |
| 17.3 |
|
A
party (including a party with respect to its NSR) wishing to dispose of any interest or
rights under this Agreement shall, by notice, first offer to sell it to the other party
for a price (payable in work commitments and/or cash and/or marketable securities or a
combination of the three) and on terms which the disposing party establishes. If TCAI
and/or WKR as the case may be does not accept the offer within 30 days the disposing
party shall then have 180 days, from the earlier of notice of rejection of the offer or
the end of the 30 day period, to dispose of its interest to a third party for the same or
greater price and on the same terms or terms no more favourable to the third |
Page 17 of 27
| |
party,
provided that the incoming party delivers, in a form acceptable to the other parties, a
document whereby it agrees to be bound by, and comply with, the terms of this Agreement.
For the purposes of this §17.3 marketable securities means common stock of a company
with a market capitalization of at least $50,000,000.00 and at least 10 million common
shares issued and outstanding that is traded on a recognized stock exchange. The per
share value of the marketable security used in any transaction hereunder for purposes of
determining the price and market capitalization of the issuer shall be the average of the
closing price for such security on its principal stock exchange for the 60 trading days
that end 10 days before the closing of the transaction. In determining the price of a
transaction hereunder, work commitments shall be valued at the amount required to be
expended to meet the work commitment without discounting or other adjustments. |
| 17.4 |
|
The
right of first offer shall not apply to transfers to affiliated corporations provided
that the incoming party delivers, in a form acceptable to the other parties, a document
whereby it agrees to be bound by, and comply with, the terms of this Agreement. However
if the transferee ceases to be an affiliate within 2 years of the transfer it shall offer
the interest to the remaining party at fair market value under §17.3. |
| 18. |
|
Area
of Interest and Use of Data |
| 18.1 |
|
Both
during the term of the Option and subsequently, there shall be an area of interest which
shall be comprised of those lands included within the outer boundaries of the Fye
Property, Schedule A1 (the “Area of Interest”). If either party stakes
or acquires any surface or water rights or mineral property within the Area of Interest,
it shall offer to have those rights or property included in this Agreement. The other
party shall have 30 days to elect whether to accept that offer and, where appropriate,
pay its share of the costs of acquisition (for clarity if acquired during the term of the
Option costs shall be to TCAI’s account and be considered Expenditures and if
acquired during the JV each party shall be responsible for their cost share of such
Expenditures); failing which election and payment, the acquiring party may retain the
rights or property so acquired free of the terms of this Agreement. |
| 18.2 |
|
Neither
party will have any obligation to the other with respect to the acquisition of properties
or interests in minerals, surface or water rights, whether directly or indirectly, which
are outside the Area of Interest. |
| 19. |

NET SMELTER RETURNS
ROYALTY
1.01
“Net Smelter Returns” for
purposes of the Agreement are defined as follows:
| |
(a)
where all or a portion of the ores or concentrates derived from the
Property are sold as ores or concentrates, the Net Smelter Returns shall be the
gross amount received from the purchaser following sale thereof after deduction
of: |
| |
(i)
if applicable under the sale contract, of all smelter charges, penalties
and other deductions; |
| |
(ii)
all costs of transporting and insuring the ores or concentrates from the
mine to the smelter or other place of final delivery; and |
| |
(iii)
sales, use, severance, excise, net proceeds of mine, and ad valorem taxes
and any tax on or measured by mineral production, but excluding income taxes of
the Royaltypayor; and |
| |
(b)
where all or a portion of the said ores or concentrates derived from the
Property are treated in a smelter and a portion of the metals recovered
therefrom are delivered to, and sold by Royaltypayor, the Net Smelter Returns
shall be the gross amount received from the purchaser following sale of the
metals so delivered, after deduction of: |
| |
(i)
all smelter charges, penalties and other deductions; |
| |
(ii)
all costs of transporting and insuring the ores or concentrates from the
mine to the smelter; and |
| |
(iii)
if applicable under the smelter contract, all costs of transporting and
insuring the metals from the smelter to the place of final delivery by the
purchaser; and |
| |
(iv)
sales, use, severance, excise, net proceeds of mine, and ad valorem taxes
and any tax on or measured by mineral production, but excluding income taxes of
the Royaltypayor. |
| |
Where
any ores or concentrates are sold to, or treated in, a smelter owned or controlled by
Royaltypayor, the pricing for that sale or treatment will be established by Royaltypayor
on an arms-length basis so as to be fairly competitive with pricing, net of
transportation, insurance, treatment charges and other related costs, then available on
world markets for product of like quantity and quality. |

PAYMENT
OF NET SMELTER RETURNS |
2.01 If a party becomes entitled to a
Net Smelter Returns royalty pursuant to the Agreement, the party paying the Net Smelter
Returns (the “Royaltypayor”) shall calculate the Net Smelter Returns and
the sums to be disbursed to the party receiving the Net Smelter Returns (the
“Royaltyholder”) as at the end of each calendar quarter.
2.02 The Royaltypayor shall, within
60 days of the end of each calendar quarter, as and when any Net Smelter Returns are
available for distribution:
| |
(a)
pay or cause to be paid to the Royaltyholder that percentage of the Net
Smelter Returns to which the Royaltyholder are entitled under the Agreement
less any net smelter returns royalty or other royalties payable under the
Underlying Agreement; |
| |
(b)
deliver to the Royaltyholder a statement indicating: |
| |
(i)
the gross amounts received from the purchaser contemplated in §1.01of
this Schedule “C”; |
| |
(ii)
the deductions therefrom in accordance with §1.01 of this Schedule
“C”; |
| |
(iii)
the amount of Net Smelter Returns remaining; |
| |
(iv)
the amount of any net smelter returns royalty or other royalties payable
under the Underlying Agreement; and |
| |
(v)
the amount of the Net Smelter Returns to which the Royaltyholder are
entitled; |
| |
supported
by such reasonable information as to the tonnage and grade of ores or concentrates
shipped as will enable the Royaltyholder to verify the gross amount payable by the
smelter or other purchaser. |

|
ADJUSTMENTS
AND VERIFICATION |
3.01 Payment of any Net Smelter
Returns by Royaltypayor shall not prejudice the right of Royaltypayor to adjust any
statement supporting the payment; provided, however, that all statements presented to the
Royaltyholder by Royaltypayor for any quarter shall conclusively be presumed to be true
and correct upon the expiration of 12 months following the end of the quarter to which the
statement relates, unless within that 12-month period Royaltypayor gives notice to the
Royaltyholder claiming an adjustment to the statement which will be reflected in
subsequent payment of Net Smelter Returns.
3.02 Royaltypayor shall not adjust
any statement in favour of itself more than 12 months following the end of the quarter to
which the statement relates.
3.03 The Royaltyholder shall, upon 30
days’ notice in advance to Royaltypayor, have the right to request that Royaltypayor
have its independent external auditors provide their audit certificate for the statement
or adjusted statement, as it may relate to the Agreement and the calculation of Net
Smelter Returns.
3.04 The
cost of the audit certificate shall be solely for the Royaltyholder’ account unless
the audit certificate discloses material error in the calculation of Net Smelter Returns,
in which case Royaltypayor
C-3
shall reimburse the Royaltyholder
the cost of the audit certificate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a
discrepancy of one percent in the calculation of Net Smelter Returns shall be deemed to
be material.
