C. Wildcat owns, indirectly, an 80% interest in the Hardshell silver property located in Arizona;

D. The boards of directors of each of Ventana and Wildcat have determined that it would be in the best interests of both Ventana and Wildcat for the silver operations and the gold operations to be conducted separately and accordingly for Wildcat to spin off Ventana to the Wildcat shareholders in order to enable Wildcat to focus primarily on the exploration and development of silver properties and Ventana to focus primarily on the exploration and development of gold properties;

E. The parties have agreed to effect the spin off by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) and, in this regard, Wildcat intends to propose the Arrangement to its shareholders, under Sections 288 to 299 of the Business Corporations Act, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement attached as Schedule A to this Agreement; and

F. The parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement setting out the terms and conditions on which the Arrangement will be carried out.

Grant of Rights of Dissent

Wildcat Shareholders registered as such on the record date of the Wildcat Meeting may exercise rights of dissent pursuant to and in the manner set forth subsection 238(d) of the Business Corporations Act, provided that the Notice of Dissent duly executed by such Wildcat Shareholder is received by Wildcat’s registered and records office 48 hours in advance of the time of the Wildcat Meeting.

5.2

Illegality of Delivery of Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it appears to Wildcat that it would be contrary to applicable law to issue or transfer Wildcat Class A Common Shares or Ventana Shares pursuant to the Arrangement to a person that is not a resident of Canada, the Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares that otherwise would be issued or transferred, as the case may be, to that person will be issued or transferred, as the case may be, and delivered to the Transfer Agent for sale of the Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares by the Transfer Agent on behalf of that person. The Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares delivered to the Transfer Agent will be pooled and sold as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, on such dates and at such prices as the Transfer Agent determines in its sole discretion. The Transfer Agent shall not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any of the Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares sold by it. Each such person will receive a pro rata share of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares sold by the Transfer Agent (less commissions, other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares and any amount withheld in respect of Canadian or other taxes) in lieu of the Wildcat Class A Common Shares and Ventana Shares.
