7. Force majeure

7.1. Force majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any party is prevented from or delayed in performing any obligation under this Agreement and failure is occasioned by any cause beyond its reasonable control, excluding only lack of finances then, subject to Section 7.2, the time for the observance of the condition or performance of the obligation in question shall be extended for a period equivalent to the total period the cause of the prevention or delay persists or remains in effect regardless of the length of the total period.

(c)

Each of the Claimant and the Respondent shall jointly instruct the Arbitrator to create an arbitration protocol in a timely manner dealing with the timing and procedures (including security for costs) of all matters that are subject to the dispute, taking into consideration: (i) the fact that each of the Claimant and the Respondent are reporting issuers, as that term is described in applicable securities legislation, and; (ii) the seasonality of the Mining Operations and what correlative effects the process may have on logistics.

(d)

The award made by the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties, and shall in all respects be kept and observed.

(e)

All costs of the arbitral proceedings shall be in the discretion of the Arbitrator who may direct to and by whom, and in what manner, (including allocation between the parties) the costs or any part of them shall be paid, it being the intention of the parties that the first principle in the exercise of the Arbitrator’s discretion shall be that the costs of the arbitral proceedings shall follow the event of the award. The costs of the arbitral proceedings and the award shall include, but not be limited to, the sum of (i) the Arbitrator’s fees and applicable taxes, (ii) all actual, reasonable legal fees and disbursements of the Arbitrator and the parties to the dispute, and (iii) a sum equal to the product of $200 multiplied by the number of days in the period commencing on the date that is 90 days prior to the date of the arbitral hearing (or trial) and ending on the last date of such hearing or trial.

(f)

The Arbitrator may proceed ex parte in case either party, or any of their witnesses, shall at any time neglect or refuse to attend the arbitration proceedings after 7 days’ notice in writing under the hand of the Arbitrator given to each party or to the parties’ solicitor, unless the party, prior to the time fixed to attend, presents to the Arbitrator what the latter considers sufficient cause for failure to attend.

(g)

The Arbitrator and any nominee under Subsection 12.11(a) must be a resident of Alberta and either of a practising notary, lawyer, advocate, accountant, professor, in the province of Alberta, or a retired justice of any of the courts of Alberta. An Arbitrator selected outside of the jurisdiction of Xxxxxxx xxx only be effective if agreed to in writing by each of the Claimant and the Respondent. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

(h)	Any award made by the Arbitrator may, at the instance of either of the parties to the dispute and without notice to the other of them, be made an Order of the Superior Court of Alberta.

13.13. Governing Law and Attornment. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein and the parties hereby irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of Alberta, judicial district of the city of Calgary.

6.3

The Operator shall manage and carry out Mining Operations substantially in accordance with Programs, Feasibility Reports and Production Notices, Operating Plans, Mine Maintenance Plans and Mine Closure Plans adopted by the Management Committee and in connection therewith shall, in advance if reasonably possible, notify the Management Committee of any change in Mining Operations which the Operator considers material and if it is not reasonably possible, the Operator shall notify the Management Committee so soon thereafter as is reasonably possible.

6.4	The Operator shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to manage and carry out all Mining Operations in accordance herewith and to incur the Costs required for that purpose. In so doing the Operator shall:

(a)	comply with the provisions of all agreements or instruments of title under which the Property or Assets are held;

(b)	pay all Costs properly incurred promptly as and when due;

(c)

keep the Property and Assets free of all liens and encumbrances (other than those, if any, in effect on the Operative Date, those the creation of which is permitted pursuant to this Agreement, or builder’s or mechanic’s liens) arising out of the Mining Operations and, in the event of any lien being filed as aforesaid, proceed with diligence to contest or discharge the same;

(i)	have such additional duties and obligations as the Management Committee may from time to time determine.

7.	EXPLORATION PROGRAMS

7.1

The Operator shall prepare draft Programs for consideration by the Management Committee. Unless otherwise agreed to by a Special Majority, each Program shall cover a calendar year. The draft Program shall contain a statement in reasonable detail of the proposed Mining Operations, estimates of all Exploration Costs to be incurred and an estimate of the time when they will be incurred, and shall be delivered to each Participant by no later than 60 days prior to the period to which the draft Program relates. Each draft Program shall be accompanied by such reports and data as are reasonably necessary for each party to evaluate and assess the results from the Program for the then current year and, to the extent not previously delivered, from earlier Programs.

7.2

The Management Committee shall review the draft Program prepared and, if it deems fit, adopt the Program with such modifications, if any, as the Management Committee deems necessary. The Operator shall be entitled to an allowance for a Cost overrun of 15 percent in addition to any budgeted Exploration Costs and any Costs so incurred shall be deemed to be included in the Program, as adopted.

7.3

The Operator shall forthwith submit the adopted Program to the parties. Each party may, within 30 days of receipt of the Program, give notice to the Operator committing to contribute its Proportionate Share of the Exploration Costs for that Program. A party which fails to give that notice within the 30 day period shall be deemed to have elected not to contribute to that Program.

7.4

If any party elected not to contribute to a Program, the amounts to be contributed by the parties who elected to contribute shall be increased pro rata, subject to the right of any of them to elect, prior to the commencement of the Program, not to contribute more than its Proportionate Share. If one or more party so elects to contribute no more than its Proportionate Share and the other parties do not elect to contribute pro rata to the resulting shortfall, the Operator shall in good faith revise the Program and Budget such that the technical objectives of the original Program are retained to the extent that is reasonably practicable given the reduced contributions to Costs. The Operator shall, within 15 days following the end of the 30-day period set out in paragraph 7.3, deliver to each party a copy of the said revised Program which, if the budget contemplates Costs of at least 80% of those contemplated in the original adopted Program, shall then be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to be the adopted Program . If the budget for the revised Program contemplates Costs of less than 80% of those contemplated in the original adopted Program, the revised Program shall be re-submitted to the Management Committee as a draft Program pursuant to paragraph 7.1, and the procedure set out in paragraph 7.1 to 7.4 inclusive shall be repeated.

7.5	The Operator shall be entitled to invoice each Participant:

(a)	no more frequently than monthly, for its Proportionate Share of Exploration Costs incurred and paid by the Operator in carrying out a Program; or

(b)	not more than 15 days in advance of requirements, for an advance of that Participant’s Proportionate Share of Exploration Costs estimated to be incurred and paid by the Operator in carrying out a Program.

Each invoice shall be signed by a financial officer of the Operator. Each Participant shall pay to the Operator the amount invoiced within 15 days of receipt of the invoice. If a Participant protests the correctness of an invoice it shall nevertheless be required to make the payment.

7.6

If any Participant, after having committed to contribute pursuant to paragraph 7.3, fails to pay an invoice within the 15-day period referred to in paragraph 7.5 the Operator may by notice demand payment. If no payment is made within the period of 7 days next succeeding the receipt of the demand notice, that Participant shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to contribute to any further Costs under this Agreement and it shall be deemed to have elected not to contribute to each Program subsequently conducted and to any Production Notice, and accordingly, shall have its Interest reduced in the manner contemplated in paragraphs 7.9 and 10.2(b).

7.7

The Operator shall expend all monies advanced by a Participant ratably with the advances of the other Participants. If the Operator suspends or prematurely terminates a Program, any funds advanced by a Participant in excess of that Participant’s Proportionate Share of Exploration Costs incurred prior to the suspension or premature termination shall be refunded within 60 days of the suspension or premature termination.

7.8

Unless otherwise directed by the Management Committee, the Operator may suspend or terminate prematurely any Program when the Operator, in good faith, considers that conditions are not suitable for the proper continuation or completion of the Program or the results obtained to that time eliminate or substantially impair the technical rationale on which the Program was based. If any Program is altered, suspended or terminated prematurely so that the Exploration Costs incurred on that Program as altered, suspended or terminated are less than 80 percent of the Exploration Costs set out in the adopted Program, any party which elected not to contribute to that Program shall be given notice of the alteration, suspension or termination by the Operator and shall be entitled to contribute its Proportionate Share of the Exploration Costs incurred on that Program by payment thereof to the Operator within 30 days after receipt of the notice, but shall not be entitled to review the results of the Program until it has made full payment. If payment is not made by that party within the 30 days aforesaid it shall forfeit its right to contribute to that Program without a demand for payment being required to be made thereafter by the Management Committee. If payment is made by that party within the 30 days as aforesaid, the Operator shall distribute the payment to the original Participants pro rata according to their respective contributions to the Program, and shall deliver to the new Participant copies of all data previously delivered to the other Participants with respect to that Program

7.9

If a party elected not to contribute to the Exploration Costs of any Program the Interest of that party shall be decreased and the Interest of each Participant contributing in excess of its Proportionate Share of the Exploration Costs shall be increased so that, subject to paragraph 7.10, at all times during the Exploration Period the Interest of each party will be that percentage which is equivalent to its Exploration Costs and Prior Exploration Costs expressed as a percentage of the Exploration Costs and Prior Exploration Costs of all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to paragraph 7.10 hereof, the party whose Interest has been reduced (other than a party who has forfeited the right to contribute pursuant to paragraph 7.6) shall be entitled to receive details of and to contribute to future Programs to the extent of its then Interest. On the Operative Date, the parties’ respective Interests and Prior Exploration Costs shall be deemed to be as follows:

	Prior Exploration Costs	Interest
Flueck	$1,500,000	50%
Coastal	$1,500,000	50%

7.10

The application of paragraph 7.9 shall be limited to a reduction of the Interest of any party to not less than 25% (the “Reduced Party”) In the event that the costs as defined in 7.9 would reduce any party below 25% then those costs will be carried by the party contributing the costs (the “Contributing Party”) as a loan to the party who shall accrue interest at the prime interest rate based on the U.S. Prime Interest Rate of the Bank of New York plus 10%. The Reduced Party shall receive 50% of their allocated proceeds from production, less all costs of production, until the loan is paid in full. (For example: If the Reduced Party is reduced to 25% then the Reduced Party shall receive 12.5% of the total proceeds from production less all costs and the Contributing Party shall receive 87.5% of the total proceeds from production of which 12.5% shall be applied against the loan to the Reduced Party.

7.11	If the Operator fails to submit a draft Program or a revised Program by the date set out in this Agreement, the following shall apply:

(a)	the Operator shall not be entitled to submit a draft Program or revised Program for the subject period;

(b)

any Participant other than the Operator whose Interest is not less than 50% may, within 30 days following the date by which the Operator’s draft Program or revised Program was due, submit a draft Program (the “Non-Operator’s Program”) for the subject period for consideration by the Management Committee;

(c)

the Management Committee shall review the Non-Operator’s Program and, if it deems fit (the Operator not being entitled to vote with respect thereto), adopt the Non-Operator’s Program with such modifications, if any, as the Management Committee deems necessary; the adopted Program shall then be submitted to the parties pursuant to paragraph 7.3;

(d)	If the Operator is a party and elects to contribute to the Non-Operator’s Program, it shall remain as the Operator for the duration of the Non-Operator’s Program.

(e)

if the Operator is a party and elects not to contribute to the Non-Operator’s Program, it shall cease to be the Operator for the duration of the Non-Operator’s Program, and the Management Committee shall appoint another party as Operator (the former Operator not being entitled to vote with respect thereto);

(f)	following the completion of the Non-Operator’s Program the former Operator shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.1, automatically become the Operator.

8.	FEASIBILITY REPORT

8.1

Except as provided in paragraph 8.2, a Feasibility Report shall only be prepared with the approval of the Management Committee. The Operator shall provide copies of the completed Feasibility Report to each of the parties forthwith upon receipt, together with copies of all of the latest technical data and information generated or received by the Operator from the immediately preceding Program and not contained in the Feasibility Report.

8.2

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 8.1, if a party (the “Proponent”) is of the view that a Feasibility Report should be prepared, such party shall give notice thereof to the Operator and the Operator shall call a Management Committee meeting to consider the matter. If the Management Committee fails to approve the preparation of the Feasibility Report supported by the Proponent, the Proponent may, either alone or with other parties, at its or their sole cost, prepare a Feasibility Report. If such Feasibility Report indicates that production from the Property would be profitable to the Proponent, the Proponent shall deliver the Feasibility Report to the Operator who shall then call a Management Committee meeting to consider the Proponent’s Feasibility Report. If the Management Committee adopts the Feasibility Report, the non-contributing parties may either pay the Proponent an amount equal to its of their respective proportionate costs of the preparation of the Feasibility Report, or shall suffer reduction of their respective Interests pursuant to paragraph 7.9. Upon the adoption by the Management Committee of the Proponent’s Feasibility Report, it shall become a Feasibility Report for all purposes hereunder.

8.3	The parties shall meet at reasonable intervals and times to review the Feasibility Report and discuss whether the establishing and bringing of a Mine into commercial production in conformity with the Feasibility Report is feasible or desirable.

9.	PRODUCTION NOTICE

9.1	The Operator shall call a Management Committee meeting to consider the Feasibility Report for a date no sooner than three months and no later than six months after the Feasibility Report was provided to each of the parties.

9.2

The Management Committee shall consider the Feasibility Report prepared and may by Special Majority, approve the Feasibility Report, with such modifications, if any, as it considers necessary or desirable, together with an estimate of Construction Costs. If a Feasibility Report is approved as aforesaid the Management Committee shall forthwith cause a Production Notice to be given to each of the parties by the Operator stating that the Management Committee has approved that a Mine be established and brought into production in conformity with the Feasibility Report and estimated Construction Costs as so approved.

10.	ELECTION TO CONTRIBUTE

10.1

Each party with an Interest may, within 30 days of the receipt of the Production Notice, give the Operator notice committing to contribute its Proportionate Share of Construction Costs. A party which fails to give that notice within the 30-day period shall be deemed to have elected not to contribute to Construction Costs.

10.2

If any party elects not to contribute to Construction Costs that party, subject to its rights under this agreement, they shall forfeit the right to contribute to any further Costs under this Agreement, and those parties which elected to contribute as aforesaid may thereupon elect to increase their contribution to Construction Costs, if more than one party then in proportion to their respective Interests, by the amount which any party has declined to contribute. If elections are made so that Construction Costs are fully committed:

(a)	the Interest of each Participant shall be increased and that of each non Participant shall be decreased as Costs are incurred so that the Interest of each party at all times is that percentage which is equivalent to

(i)	the sum of its Exploration Costs, its Prior Exploration Costs and its contribution to Construction Costs;

divided by

(ii)	the sum of the total Exploration Costs, total Prior Exploration Costs and the total Construction Costs of all the parties;

multiplied by

(iii)

100;

(b)

then, at the Completion Date, each non-Participant shall be deemed to have assigned and conveyed its Interest to the Participants, if more than one then in proportion to their respective Interests, and shall be entitled to receive as its sole remuneration and benefit in consideration of that assignment and conveyance, by way of royalty, subject to the terms of this agreement, that percent of the Net Proceeds of Production, as and when available, which is equivalent to the Interest, calculated at the Completion Date.

(c)	each Participant shall severally calculate and cause to be paid to each non-Participant any Net Proceeds of Production derived from the Property in the manner provided in Appendix II.

10.3	If, after the operation of paragraph 10.2, Construction Costs are not fully committed the Production Notice shall be deemed to be withdrawn, and shall not be resubmitted, either in the same or a revised form, for a period of at least six months following such withdrawal.

11.	OPERATOR’S FEE

The Agreement between the party hereto, as borrower, and the Chargee shall contain specific provisions to the same effect as the provisions of this paragraph.

13.	CONSTRUCTION

13.1

Subject to paragraphs 10.2 and 10.3, the Management Committee shall cause the Operator to, and the Operator shall, proceed with Construction with all reasonable dispatch after a Production Notice has been given. Construction shall be substantially in accordance with the Feasibility Report subject to any variations proposed in the Production Notice, and subject also to the right of the Management Committee to cause such other reasonable variations in Construction to be made as the Management Committee, by Special Majority, deems necessary and advisable.

14.	OPERATION OF THE MINE

14.1	Commencing on the Completion Date, all Mining Operations shall be planned and conducted and all estimates, reports and statements shall be prepared and made on the basis of a calendar year.

14.2

With the exception of the year in which the Completion Date occurs, an Operating Plan for each calendar year shall be submitted by the Operator to the Participants not later than November 1 in the year immediately preceding the calendar year to which the Operating Plan relates. Each Operating Plan shall contain the following:

(a)	a description of the proposed Mining Operations;

(b)	a detailed estimate of all Mine Costs plus a reasonable allowance for contingencies;

(c)	an estimate of the quantity and quality of the ore to be mined and the concentrates or metals or other products and by-products to be produced; and

(d)	such other facts as may be necessary to reasonably illustrate the results intended to be achieved by the Operating Plan.

Upon request of any Participant the Operator shall meet with that Participant to discuss the Operating Plan and shall provide such additional or supplemental information as that Participant may reasonably require with respect thereto.

14.3

The Management Committee shall adopt each Operating Plan, with such changes as it deems necessary, by November 30 in the year immediately preceding the calendar year to which the Operating Plan relates; provided, however, that the Management Committee, by Special Majority, may from time to time and any time amend any Operating Plan.

14.4

The Operator shall include in the estimate of Mine Costs referred to in subparagraph 14.2(b) hereof the establishment of a trust or escrow fund providing for the reasonably estimated costs of satisfying continuing obligations that may remain after the permanent termination of Mining Operations, in excess of amounts actually expended. Such continuing obligations are or will be incurred as a result of the Joint Operation and shall include such things as monitoring, stabilization, reclamation or restoration obligations, severance and other employee benefit costs and all other obligations incurred or imposed as a result of the Joint Operation which continue or arise after the permanent termination of Mining Operations and the termination of this Agreement and settlement of all accounts. The payment of such continuing obligations shall be made on the basis of units of production, and shall be in amounts reasonably estimated to provide over the lifetime of proven and probable reserves funds adequate to pay for such reclamation and long term care and monitoring. The Participants shall contribute to the trust or escrow fund cash (or provide letters of credit or other forms of security readily convertible to cash in form approved by the Management Committee). The amount contributed from time to time for the satisfaction of such continuing obligations shall be classified as Costs hereunder but shall be segregated into a separate account.

15.	PAYMENT OF MINE COSTS

15.1

The Operator may invoice each Participant, from time to time, for that Participant’s Proportionate Share of Construction Costs or Operating Costs incurred to the date of the invoice, or at the beginning of each month for an advance equal to that Participant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated cash disbursements to be made during the month. Each Participant shall pay its Proportionate Share of the Construction Costs or Operating Costs or the estimated cash disbursements aforesaid to the Operator within 30 days after receipt of the invoice.

If the payment or advance requested is not so made, the amount of the payment or advance shall bear interest calculated monthly not in advance from the 30th day after the date of receipt of the invoice thereof by that Participant at a rate equivalent to the weighted average Prime Rate for the month plus 10% until paid. The Operator shall have a lien on each Participant’s Interest in order to secure that payment or advance together with interest which has accrued thereon.

15.2

If any Participant fails to pay an invoice contemplated in paragraph 15.1 within the 30 day period aforesaid, the Operator may, by notice, demand payment. If no payment is made within 30 days of the Operator’s demand notice, the Operator may, without limiting its other rights at law, enforce the lien created by paragraph 15.1 by taking possession of all or any part of that Participant’s Interest. The Operator may sell and dispose of the Interest which it has so taken into its possession by:

(a)

first offering that Interest to the other Participants, if more than one then in proportion to the respective Interests of the Participants who wish to accept that offer, for that price which is the fair market value stated in the lower of two appraisals obtained by the Operator from independent, well recognized appraisers competent in the appraisal of mining properties; and

(b)

if the Participants have not purchased all or part of that Interest as aforesaid, then by selling the balance, if any, either in whole or in part or in separate parcels at public auction or by private tender (the Participants being entitled to bid) at a time and on whatever terms the Operator shall arrange, having first given notice to the defaulting Participant of the time and place of the sale.

As a condition of the sale as contemplated in subparagraph 15.2(b), the purchaser shall agree to be bound by this Agreement and, prior to acquiring the Interest, shall deliver notice to that effect to the parties, in form acceptable to the Operator. The proceeds of the sale shall be applied by the Operator in payment of the amount due from the defaulting Participant and interest as aforesaid, and the balance remaining, if any, shall be paid to the defaulting Participant after deducting reasonable costs of the sale. Any sale or disposal made as aforesaid shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity by the defaulting Participant and its successors and assigns against all other Participants.

16.	DISTRIBUTION IN KIND

16.1

It is expressly intended that, upon implementation of any Production Notice hereunder, the association of the parties hereto shall be limited to the efficient production of Minerals from the Property and related activities, and that each of the parties shall be entitled to use, dispose of or otherwise deal with its Proportionate Share of Minerals as it sees fit. Each Participant shall take in kind, f.o.b. truck or railcar on the Property, and separately dispose of its Proportionate Share of the Minerals produced from the Mine. From the time of delivery, each Participant shall have ownership of and title to its Proportionate Share of Minerals separate from, and not as tenant in common with, the other Participants, and shall bear all risk of loss of Minerals. Extra costs and expenses incurred by reason of the Participants taking in kind and making separate dispositions shall be paid by each Participant directly and not through the Operator or Management Committee.

16.2	Each Participant shall construct, operate and maintain, all at its own cost and expense, any and all facilities which may be necessary to receive and store and dispose of its Proportionate Share of the Minerals at the rate the same are produced.

16.3

If a Participant has not made the necessary arrangements to take in kind and store its share of production as aforesaid the Operator shall, at the sole cost and risk of that Participant store, in any location where it will not interfere with Mining Operations, the production owned by that Participant. The Operator and the other parties shall be under no responsibility with respect thereto. All of the Costs involved in arranging and providing storage shall be billed directly to, and be the sole responsibility of the Participant whose share of production is so stored. The Operator’s charges for such assistance and any other related matters shall be billed directly to and be the sole responsibility of the Participant. All such xxxxxxxx shall be subject to the provisions of paragraphs 15.1 and 15.2 hereof.

17.	SURRENDER OF INTEREST

17.1	Any party not in default hereunder may, at any time upon notice, surrender its entire Interest to the other parties by giving those parties notice of surrender.

The notice of surrender shall:

(a)	indicate a date for surrender not less than three months after the date on which the notice is given; and

(b)	contain an undertaking that the surrendering party will:

(i)	satisfy its Proportionate Share, based on its then Interest, of all obligations and liabilities which arose at any time prior to the date of surrender;

(ii)

if the Operator has not included in Mine Costs the costs of continuing obligations as set out in paragraph 14.4 hereof, pay on the date of surrender its reasonably estimated Proportionate Share, based on the surrendering party’s then Interest, of the Costs of rehabilitating the Mine site and of reclamation based on the Mining Operations completed as at the date of surrender; and

(iii)

will hold in confidence, for a period of two years from the date of surrender, all information and data which it acquired pursuant to this Agreement.

17.2

Upon the surrender of its entire Interest as contemplated in paragraph 17.1 and upon delivery of a release in writing, in form acceptable to counsel for the Operator, releasing the other parties from all claims and demands hereunder, the surrendering party shall be relieved of all obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those which arose or accrued or were accruing due on or before the date of the surrender.

17.3

A party to whom a notice of surrender has been given as contemplated in paragraph 17.1 may elect, by notice within 90 days to the party which first gave the notice to accept the surrender, in which case paragraphs 17.1 and 17.2 shall apply, or to join in the surrender. If all of the parties join in the surrender the Joint Operation shall be terminated in accordance with article 18.

18.	TERMINATION OF MINING OPERATIONS

18.1

The Operator may, at any time subsequent to the Completion Date, on at least 180 days notice to all Participants, recommend that the Management Committee approve that the Mining Operations be suspended. The Operator’s recommendation shall include a plan and budget (in this article 18 called the “Mine Maintenance Plan”), in reasonable detail, of the activities to be performed to maintain the Assets and Property during the period of suspension and the Costs to be incurred. The Management Committee may, by Special Majority, at any time subsequent to the Completion Date, cause the Operator to suspend Mining Operations in accordance with the Operator’s recommendation with such changes to the Mine Maintenance Plan as the Management Committee deems necessary. The Participants shall be committed to contribute their Proportionate Share of the Costs incurred in connection with the Mine Maintenance Plan. The Management Committee, by Special Majority, may cause Mining Operations to be resumed at any time.

18.2

The Operator’s recommendation shall include a plan and budget (in this article 18 called the “Mine Closure Plan”), in reasonable detail, of the activities to be performed to close the Mine and reclaim and rehabilitate the Property, as required by applicable law, regulation or contract by reason of this Agreement. The Management Committee may, by unanimous approval of the representatives of all Participants, approve the Operator’s recommendation with such changes to the Mine Closure Plan as the Management Committee deems necessary.

18.3	If the Management Committee approves the Operator’s recommendation as aforesaid, it shall cause the Operator to:

(a)	implement the Mine Closure Plan, whereupon the Participants shall be committed to pay, in proportion to their respective Interests, such Costs as may be required to implement that Mine Closure Plan;

(b)	remove, sell and dispose of such Assets as may reasonably be removed and disposed of profitably and such other Assets as the Operator may be required to remove pursuant to applicable environmental and mining laws; and

(c)	sell, abandon or otherwise dispose of the Assets and the Property.

The disposal price for the Assets and the Property shall be the best price reasonably obtainable and the net revenues, if any, from the removal and sale shall be credited to the Participants in proportion to their respective Interests.

18.4	If the Management Committee does not approve the Operator’s recommendation contemplated in paragraph 18.2, the Operator shall maintain Mining Operations in accordance with the Mine Maintenance Plan as pursuant to paragraph 18.1.

19.	THE PROPERTY

19.1	Title to the Property shall be held in the name of the Operator in trust for the parties in proportion to their respective Interests as adjusted from time to time. Each of the parties shall have the right

32.	TIME OF ESSENCE

32.1	Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

33.	ASSIGNMENT - RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

33.1	If a party (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as the “Owner”):

(a)

receives a bona fide offer from an independent third party (the “Proposed Purchaser”) dealing at arm’s length with the Owner to purchase all or any part all of the Owner’s Interest or its interest in this Agreement (which for certainty shall include the Owner’s right to receive Net Smelter Returns, which offer the Owner desires to accept;

(b)	or if the Owner intends to sell all or any part of its Interest or its interest in this Agreement.

The Owner shall first offer (the “Offer”) such interest in writing to the other party upon terms no less favourable than those offered by the Proposed Purchaser or intended to be offered by the Owner, as the case may be. The Offer shall specify the price and terms and conditions of such sale, the name of the Proposed Purchaser (which term shall, in the case of an intended offer by the Owner, mean the person or persons to whom the Owner intends to offer its interest) and, if the offer received by the Owner from the Proposed Purchaser provides for any consideration payable to the Owner otherwise than in cash, the Offer shall include the Owner’s good faith estimate of the cash equivalent of the non-cash consideration. If within a period of 30 days of the receipt of the Offer, the other party notifies the Owner in writing that it will accept the same, the Owner shall be bound to sell such interest to the other party (subject as hereinafter provided with respect to price) on the terms and conditions of the Offer. If the Offer so accepted by the other party contains the Owner’s good faith estimate of the cash equivalent consideration as aforesaid, and if the other party disagrees with the Owner’s best estimate, the other party shall so notify the Owner at the time of acceptance and the other party shall, in such notice, specify what it considers, in good faith, the fair cash equivalent to be and the resulting total purchase price. If the other party so notifies the Owner, the acceptance by the other party shall be effective and binding upon the Owner and the other party and the cash equivalent of any such non-cash consideration shall be determined by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia) and shall be payable by the other party, subject to prepayment as hereinafter provided, within 60 days following its determination by arbitration. The other party shall in such case pay to the Owner, against receipt of an absolute transfer of clear and unencumbered title to the interest of the Owner being sold, the total purchase price which it specified in its notice to the Owner and such amount shall be credited to the amount determined following arbitration of the cash equivalent of any non-cash consideration. If the other party fails to notify the Owner before the expiration of the time limited therefor that it will purchase the interest offered, the Owner 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 30 days, provided that the terms of this paragraph shall again apply to such interest if the sale to the Proposed Purchaser is not completed within the said 30 days. Any sale hereunder shall be conditional upon the Proposed Purchaser delivering a written undertaking to the other party, in form and content satisfactory to its counsel, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

34.	SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

34.1	This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

1.1	If any non-Participant becomes entitled to a royalty pursuant to subparagraph 10.2(b) of the Agreement, each Participant shall separately calculate, as at the end of each calendar quarter subsequent to the Completion Date, the Net Smelter Returns.

Each Participant shall within 60 days of the end of each calendar quarter, as and when any Net Smelter Returns are available for distribution:

severally pay or cause to be paid to each non-Participant that percentage of the Net Smelter Returns to which that non-Participant is entitled under paragraph 7.10 or subparagraph 10.2(b) of the Agreement;

deliver to each non-Participant a statement indicating the amount of Net Smelter Returns to which that non-Participant is entitled;

Nothing contained in the Agreement or this Appendix II shall be construed as:

imposing on a Participant any obligation with respect to the payments of royalty due hereunder to a non-Participant from any other Participant; or

conferring on any non-Participant any right to or interest in any Property or Assets except the right to receive royalty payments from each Participant as and when due.

The Participants agree that on the request of any non-Participant they will execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary to permit that non-Participant to record its royalty right against the Property.

2.	NET SMELTER RETURNS

“Net Smelter Returns” means the net amount of money received by a Participant for its own account from the sale of ore, or ore concentrates of other products from the Property to a smelter or other ore buyer after deduction of the total of the following:

smelter and/or refining charges;

government imposed production and ad valorem taxes (excluding taxes on income);

ore treatment charges, penalties and any and all charges made by the purchaser of ore or concentrates;

any and all transportation and insurance costs which may be incurred in connection with the transportation of ore or concentrates; and

all umpire charges which the purchaser may be required to pay.

Payment of Net Smelter Returns by the Participant to the non-Participant shall be made quarterly within days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Participant and shall be accompanied by unaudited financial statements pertaining to the operations carried out on the Property. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Participant in which Net Smelter Returns are payable to the non-Participant, the records relating to the calculation of Net Smelter Returns for such year shall be audited by the Operator’s external independent auditor and any resulting adjustments in the payment of Net Smelter Returns payable to the non-Participant shall be made forthwith. A copy of the said auditor’s report and accompanying financial information shall be delivered to the non-Participant within 30 days of the end of such 90-day period.

Each annual audit shall be final and not subject to adjustment unless the non-Participant delivers to the Participant written exceptions in reasonable detail within six months after the non-Participant receives the report. The non-Participant, or its representative duly authorized in writing, at its expense, shall have the right to audit the books and records of the Participant related to Net Smelter Returns to determine the accuracy of the report, but shall not have access to any other books and records of the Participant. The audit shall be conducted by a chartered or certified public accountant of recognized standing. The Participant shall have the right to condition access to its books and records on execution of a written agreement by the auditor that all information will be held in confidence and used solely for purposes of audit and resolution of any disputes related to the report. A copy of the non-Participant’s report shall be delivered to the Participant upon completion, and any discrepancy between the amount actually paid by the Participant and the amount which should have been paid according to the non-Participant’s report shall be paid forthwith, one party to the other. In the event that the said discrepancy is to the detriment of the non-Participant and exceeds 5% of the amount actually paid by the Participant, then the Participant shall pay the entire cost of the audit.

No error in accounting or in interpretation of the Agreement shall be the basis for a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, or the like, or give rise to a claim for exemplary or punitive damages or for termination or rescission of the Agreement or the estate and rights acquired and held by the Participant under the terms of the Agreement.
