2. Placements

Each of the Agents hereby covenants and agrees that, during the time an Agent is the recipient of a Placement Notice pursuant to Section 2 hereof that has not been suspended or terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, such Agent will prudently and actively monitor the market’s reaction to trades made on any marketplace (as such term is defined in NI 21-101) pursuant to this Agreement in order to evaluate the likely market impact of future trades, and that, if such Agent that is the recipient of the Placement Notice has concerns as to whether a particular sale contemplated by a Placement Notice may have a significant effect on the market price of the Shares, the applicable Agent will, upon receipt of the applicable Placement Notice, recommend to the Company against effecting the trade at that time or on the terms proposed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or a Placement Notice, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Agents will be successful in selling any Placement Shares or as to the price at which any Placement Shares are sold, if at all, and (ii) the Agents will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if they do not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agents to use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Company and as agent such Placement Shares as provided under this Section 3.

4. Suspension of Sales

(b) Delivery of Placement Shares. On each Settlement Date, the Placement Shares sold through the applicable Agent for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to the applicable Agent against payment by the applicable Agent to the Company of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Placement Shares.

The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 8(n) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply for any Representation Date on which the Company files its annual report on Form 40-F, Form 20-F or Form 10-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide the Agents with a certificate under this Section 8(n), then on or before the time the Company delivers the Placement Notice or the Agents sells any Placement Shares, the Company shall provide the Agents with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Schedule “D”, dated the date of the Placement Notice.

(a) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses.

(i) The Company represents that it has not made, and covenants that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Agents, it will not make any offer relating to the Placement Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by it with the SEC or retained by the Company under Rule 433; except as set forth in a Placement Notice, no use of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been consented to by the Agents. The Company agrees that it will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the U.S. Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the SEC or retention where required and legending.

(ii) The Company agrees that no Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, will include any information that conflicts with the information contained in Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectuses or the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. In addition, no Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, together with the Prospectuses, will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to any statements or omissions in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance on information furnished in writing to the Company by the Agents expressly stating that such information is intended for use therein.

(iii) The Company agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectuses, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will give prompt notice thereof to the Agents and, if requested by the Agents, will prepare and furnish without charge to the Agents an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to any statements or omissions in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance on information furnished in writing to the Company by the Agents expressly stating that such information is intended for use therein.

- 40 -

(b) Non-Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company consents to the use by the Agents of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” as defined in Rule 433, and (b) contains only information describing the terms of the Placement Shares or the Offering, or information permitted under Rule 134 under the U.S. Securities Act; provided that the Agents (severally and not jointly) covenant with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the SEC under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Agents that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Agents.

(c) Distribution of Offering Materials. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, during the term of this Agreement, any “marketing materials” (as defined in National Instrument 41-101 – General Prospectus Requirements) in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares other than the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectuses or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the Agents and included in a Placement Notice (as described in clause (a) (i) above), provided that the Agents (severally and not jointly) covenant with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities any “marketing materials” that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company, but for the action of the Agents.

(a) Canadian Prospectus Supplement. The Canadian Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities under the Shelf Procedures and in accordance with this Agreement, all requests for additional information on the part of the Canadian Qualifying Authorities shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agents and the Agents’ counsel.

(c) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company of any request for additional information from the SEC, the Canadian Qualifying Authorities or any other federal or state or foreign or other governmental, administrative or self-regulatory authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses, the response to which would require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectuses; (ii) the issuance by the SEC, the Canadian Qualifying Authorities or any other federal or state or foreign or other Governmental Authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectuses or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, Prospectuses or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and in the case of the Time of Sale Prospectus and each Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectuses would be appropriate.

(d) Material Changes. Except as contemplated and appropriately disclosed in the time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectuses, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC and Canadian Qualifying Authorities, in each case at the time the applicable Placement Notice is delivered, there shall not have been any material change, on a consolidated basis, in the authorized common share capital of the Company, or any development that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, the effect of which, in the sole judgment of the Agents (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), acting reasonably, is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectuses.

- 43 -

(i) any information or statement (except any information or statements that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein) in the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment thereto, the U.S. Prospectus or any amendment thereto or in any other document incorporated therein by reference being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein any fact or information (except facts or information them that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein) required to be stated therein or necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment thereto, U.S. Prospectus or any amendment thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact (except facts or information that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein) necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iii) any order made or any inquiry, investigation (whether formal or informal) or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities, regulatory or other competent authority based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation (except a statement, omission or misrepresentation relating solely to the Agents or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein) in the Public Record (as defined below), preventing or restricting the trading in or the distribution of the Placement Shares or any of them in any of the provinces and territories of Canada or in the United States;

(iv) the Company not complying with any requirement of applicable Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

- 44 -

(b) Each Agent (severally and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Placement Shares), claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relating solely to the Agents that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein contained in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectuses (including any amendment or supplement if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

The Company acknowledges that the names of the Agents set forth on the cover and under the heading “Relationship between the Company and Certain of the Agents”, the eighth and tenth paragraphs and the last sentence of the thirteenth paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” constitute the only information furnished in writing, by or on behalf of the Agents for inclusion in the Prospectuses.

The above indemnification obligations in (a) and (b) above will not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such Losses were solely caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud of the Indemnified Party. For greater certainty, the Company and the Agents agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Agents to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Agents with reasonable grounds for believing the applicable document contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “gross negligence” or “willful misconduct” for purposes of this Section 12 or otherwise disentitle the Agents from indemnification hereunder.

(c) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 12 hereof is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to therein, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by such Indemnified Party as a result of such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses:

(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand from the distribution of the Placement Shares; or

(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand in connection with the matters or things referred to in Section 12 hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;

provided that the Agents shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Placement Fee or any portion thereof actually received. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total Net Proceeds from the distribution of Placement Shares received by the Company is to the Placement Fee received by the Agents. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Agents on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 12 hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Company (including indirectly as aforesaid) or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Agents and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 12 hereof. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 12 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 12.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

- 45 -

(d) If any matter or thing contemplated by this Section 12 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify the Company and the Agents of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify the Company promptly shall relieve the Company of liability under this Section 12 only to the extent that such failure prejudices the Company’s ability to defend such claim), and the Company shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) brought to enforce such claim. Any such defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party (whose acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld). An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Company fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time; or (ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company; or (iii) the named parties to any such suit or proceeding include the Indemnified Party as well as the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have received advice of counsel that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Company (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party), it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm for all such Indemnified Parties (other than local counsel). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or suit effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 11 (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested the Company to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel, the Company agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 12 effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request, (ii) the Company shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) the Company shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such xxxxxxxxxx.Xx is the intention of the Company to constitute each of the Agents as trustees, for the Agents’ directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees, and each person who controls any Agent of the covenants of the Company under Sections 12 hereof with respect to the Agents’ directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees, and each person who controls any Agent, and the Agents agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

The Company agrees that in case any legal proceedings or investigation shall be brought against or initiated against the Company by any governmental commission, regulatory authority, exchange, court or other authority and an Indemnified Person or other representative of any of the Agents shall be required to testify or respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with or relating to the performance of professional services rendered to the Company by one or more of the Agents, the Company agrees to pay the Agent the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Agent for the time spent by the personnel in connection therewith on a per diem basis and out-of-pocket expenses) in connection therewith.

(e) The rights provided in this Section 12 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Agents may have by statute or otherwise at law.

- 46 -

13. Representations and Warranties to Survive Delivery

All representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees and any of their controlling persons, and shall survive delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or any termination of this agreement.

Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8(h) 12, 13, 14(e), 16, 19 and 20 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If the Agents elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 14(a), the Agents shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 15.

(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8(h), 12, 13, 14(e), 16, 19 and 20 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

SCHEDULE “F”
FORM OF OPINION TO BE PROVIDED BY COMPANY’S U.S. COUNSEL

1. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

2. We confirm to you, based solely on our review of the SEC’s “Stop Orders" web page (xxxx://xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx), that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued; to our knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or overtly threatened.

3. Any required filing of the U.S. Prospectus Supplement under the U.S. Securities Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

4. The Registration Statement as of the Effective Date, and the U.S. Prospectus as of its date (other than the documents incorporated by reference therein, the financial statements and notes thereto, and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom, or other financial or statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no opinion), and the Form F-X as of the date of its filing with the SEC, each appeared on its face to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement and the U.S. Prospectus are correct and complete.

5. The Company is not, and after giving effect to the Offering and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the U.S. Prospectus, will not be required to be registered as an "investment company" under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

6. No consent, approval, authorization or filing with or order of any U.S. federal court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company is required for the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares in the manner contemplated by this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, except such as have been obtained under the U.S. Securities Act and except such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares in the manner contemplated in the Agreement, or under the rules of the NYSE American.

7. The statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus Supplement under the heading "Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders" insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. legal matters with respect thereto, fairly present, to the extent required by the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in all material respects such U.S. legal matters.

Legal counsel will also state in a separate letter as follows, on the basis of the customary assumptions and qualifications set forth in the letter:

8. nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, at the Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Time of Sale Prospectus, at the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the U.S. Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as of its date and the Closing Date contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that we express no belief with respect to any financial statements and related notes, financial statement schedules, or other financial data, accounting data or statistical data or any [Technical Mining Information] contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus).
