Employee shall have such other duties as customarily performed by the President and Chief Executive Officer and also have such other powers and duties as may be, from time to time, prescribed by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), provided that the nature of Employee’s powers and duties so prescribed shall not be inconsistent with Employee’s position and duties hereunder.

TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT; COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Section 2.1 Term. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of this Agreement shall be three (3) years beginning on the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Term”).

ARTICLE III

NON-COMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 3.1 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Non-Competition. For the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending at six (6) months following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company or ending, if Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated pursuant to Sections 4(f), (g) or (h) below, the date of such termination (the “Expiration Date”), Employee will not, without the prior written approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Company:

(i) become engaged, directly or indirectly, as an employee, consultant, contractor, partner, proprietor, principal, agent, director, officer, investor, shareholder (other than the holding of shares listed on a public stock exchange that does not exceed four point nine (4.9%) percent of the outstanding shares so listed) or advisor or in any other capacity, in a business or organization that, anywhere in North America, develops, markets, sells, performs or licenses products or services competitive with the Business;

(ii)

solicit prior, current or future customers of the Company for any purpose; or

(iii)

solicit any current or future employees employed by the Company.

Employee acknowledges that, based on his unique skills, position and knowledge relating to the Company and considering the benefit that Employee will receive from employment with the Company, the scope of the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.1(a) are reasonable under the circumstances and such restrictions are reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company’s proprietary interests. Employee also acknowledges that the enforcement by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement during the period beginning on the date of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and ending on the Expiration Date will not preclude him from being gainfully employed during such period.

(b) Confidentiality. The Employee specifically agrees that, without the consent of the Company, he will not at any time, in any fashion, form, or manner, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose, or communicate to any person, firm or corporation (other than to an attorney or accountant in the regular course of the Company’s business) any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined). Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Employee shall immediately surrender and deliver to the Company all Confidential Information in all forms. The covenants set forth in this Section 3.1(c) shall survive for six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Continuing Obligations. The Employee agrees that his obligations and duties contained in this Article III are continuing obligations and, to the extent expressly set forth herein, said duties shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

(d) Definitions. For the purposes of this Article III, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

“Business” shall mean the exploration of, mining for, processing of, refinement of, sale of and distribution of mineral resources and other products and services of the Company as they are developed to include that which directly aids or is directly incidental to mineral resources.

“Client” shall mean any entity, including without limitation, any natural person, company, partnership, corporation, trust, association, organization or governmental unit, (i) with whom the Employee has direct contact and/or to whom the Employee renders any services; and/or (ii) about whom the Employee has access to Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined).

“Confidential Information” shall mean any information, not generally known in the relevant trade or industry, obtained from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers or suppliers or which falls within any of the following general categories: (a) information relating to the business of the Company or that of any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers or suppliers, including but not limited to, financial reports, income

statements, balance sheets, annual and quarterly reports, general ledger, accounts receivable, and other accounting reports, non-public filings with government agencies, business forms, handbooks, policies, and documents, business plans, business processes and procedures, sales or marketing methods, methods of doing business, customer lists, customer usages and/or requirements, and supplier information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers or suppliers; (b) information relating to existing or contemplated products, services, technology, designs, processes, formulae, computer systems, computer software, algorithms and research or developments of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers or suppliers; (c) information relating to trade secrets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers or suppliers; or (d) information marked “Confidential” or “Proprietary” by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers or suppliers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company recognizes that the Employee has over thirty years of experience in the geographic area of interest, that is, the Americas, and under no circumstances however will the extensive knowledge held by the Employee prior to his employment by the Company or as a result of his personal business or professional activities while employed by the Company but not connected to his duties therefor be deemed to become the property of the Company, nor will the use by Employee, during or after his employment by the Company, of said knowledge and experience, be deemed to be competitive with the business of the Company or a corporate opportunity thereof.

Section 3.2 Enforcement; Remedies. The Employee covenants, agrees, and recognizes that because the breach or threatened breach of the covenants, or any of them, contained in Section 3.1 hereof may result in immediate and irreparable injury to the Company, the Company may be entitled to an injunction restraining the Employee from any violation of Section 3.1 to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Section 3.3 Construction. Each party hereto hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a) That the covenants set forth in Section 3.1 above are reasonable in all respects and are necessary to protect the legitimate business and competitive interests of the Company in connection with its business which the Employee agrees, pursuant to this Agreement, to assist the Company in maintaining and developing; and

(b) That each of the covenants set forth in Section 3.1 above is separately and independently given, and each such covenant is intended to be enforceable separately and independently of the other such covenants, including without limitation, enforcement by injunction; provided, however, that the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any respect shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other respect. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction by reason of the geographic or business scope or the duration thereof of any such covenant, or for any other reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to the particular aspect of such provision found invalid or unenforceable as applied and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement or the enforcement of such provision in other circumstances, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, this Agreement shall be construed as if the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision or other basis on which such provisions has been challenged had been more narrowly drafted so as not to be invalid or unenforceable.
