THE MINING REGULATIONS, 1947

This SPECIAL MINING LEASE is granted to St. Xxx Bauxite Limited of 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx (hereinafter called the “Lessee”) for the purposes of mining bauxite, in, under or upon approximately one hundred seventy-seven point three three (177.33) square kilometres (17,733 hectares) of land in the Parish of St. Xxx as the same is delineated in red on the plan annexed hereto as Exhibit A1 and in, under or upon such other lands as may be included in this Special Mining Lease pursuant to the under noted Special Conditions for a term of twenty-six (26) years commencing on the first day of October, 2004, subject to the provisions of the Mining Act now in force and of the Regulations made thereunder now in force save as hereinafter negatived, varied or modified, as well as to any Regulations which may come into force during the continuance of this Special Mining Lease and relating to the safe working of the mines or to the health or welfare of the persons employed therein and subject also to the under noted Special Conditions.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

1. It is hereby agreed and declared that it is the intention of this Special Mining Lease that the lands which are from time to time the subject matter of this Special Mining Lease shall contain the estimated tonnage of mineable bauxite necessary to meet the bauxite requirements from time to time of the Lessee at the present production capacity of 4,500,000 dry metric tons per annum for twenty-six (26) years (hereinafter called the “Bauxite Reserves”).

2. The Lessee and the Commissioner of Mines (which for purposes of this Special Mining Lease shall include his duly authorised agent) shall, at intervals of five (5) years from the date of the commencement of this Special Mining Lease, review the estimates of the amount of

reserves of mineable bauxite contained in the lands included in this Special Mining Lease and shall at the same time review the estimates of the amount of bauxite needed to meet the above requirements of the Lessee for the balance of the period of this Special Mining Lease. The purpose of the said reviews shall be to determine whether the amount of mineable bauxite reserves estimated to be remaining in the lands which at the time of the said reviews are included in this Special Mining Lease are more or less than the amount needed to meet the said bauxite requirements of the Lessee for the balance of the period of this Special Mining Lease.

In the event that the said reviews result in a determination by the Commissioner of Mines and the Lessee that more mineable bauxite reserves are contained in the said lands as aforesaid than are needed to meet the said requirements, then the Lessee will surrender and the Minister will accept the surrender of such portions of the said lands as contain an amount of bauxite estimated to be approximately equivalent to the difference between the amount of mineable bauxite reserves estimated to be remaining in the lands which at the time of the said reviews are included in this Special Mining Lease immediately prior to such surrender and such reserves which are needed to meet the said requirements of the Lessee for the balance of the period of this Special Mining Lease. Subject to any Mining Plan submitted by the Lessee pursuant to clause 4 of these Special Conditions, the lands first to be surrendered shall be from the lands contained in Section No. 11 on the Plan annexed hereto and thereafter in inverse progression.

In the event that the said reviews result in a determination by the Commissioner of Mines and the Lessee that less mineable bauxite reserves are contained in the said lands as aforesaid than are needed to meet the said requirements, then the Minister will grant the Lessee a new Special Mining Lease on the same terms and conditions as, and to expire on the expiration date of, this Special Mining Lease, for the purpose of mining bauxite in, under or upon such

-2-

additional lands as contain an amount of bauxite estimated to be approximately equivalent to the difference between the amount of mineable bauxite reserves which are needed to meet the said requirements of the Lessee for the balance of the period of this Special Mining Lease and the amount of such reserves which are estimated to be remaining in the lands which at the time of the said reviews are included in this Special Mining Lease immediately prior to the grant of the new Special Mining Lease. Subject to any Mining Plan submitted by the Lessee pursuant to clause 4 of the Special Conditions and to Section 3.01(c) of the Establishment Agreement dated the date of this Special Mining Lease, between the Government of Jamaica and St. Xxx Bauxite Limited (hereinafter called the “Establishment Agreement”, the additional lands first to be included in any new Special Mining Lease shall be —

(a) the lands surrendered by the Lessee after any previous five year review, if available, in inverse order of surrender; and thereafter

(b) lands contained in Section 12 of the plan annexed hereto as Exhibit A2; and thereafter

(d) lands reasonably contiguous and accessible to the lands contained in this Special Mining Lease.

3. The Lessee will appoint ST. XXX JAMAICA BAUXITE PARTNERS, a Partnership formed under the Laws of Jamaica and having as Partners the Lessee and Jamaica Bauxite Mining Limited of 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 10, a company wholly owned by the Government of Jamaica, as its agent for the purposes of Section 36(3) of the Mining Act to mine the bauxite under this Special Mining Lease on its behalf and to carry out and perform certain

-3-

mining operations to be agreed from time to time between the Lessee and the said Partnership. Such appointment and such agent shall be irrevocably deemed to be accepted and permitted for the purposes of Section 36(3) of the Mining Act.

4. Within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, the Lessee shall submit to the Commissioner of Mines for review and approval a Mining Plan in respect of areas contained within this Special Mining Lease on which the Lessee plans to conduct its mining operations during the five-year period commencing on the date of this Special Mining Lease. On each anniversary date of this Special Mining Lease the Lessee shall submit to the Commissioner of Mines an updated mining plan for its mining operations covering for the five years next succeeding the date of submission. In each Mining Plan the Lessee shall designate on maps and by description mining and support areas needed during such period and shall include the location of passageways, ore bodies within statutory limits of private structures, other facilities required in connection with the Lessee’s mining operations and plans for restoration. The Lessee shall promptly advise the Commissioner of Mines of any material changes in its Mining Plan.

In addition to the foregoing, the Lessee shall on each five-year anniversary of the date of this Special Mining Lease submit to the Commissioner of Mines a general forecast of the lands which may be required by the Lessee for its mining operations during the succeeding twenty-year period.

12. Failure of the Lessee to fulfill any of the terms and conditions of this Special Mining Lease shall not give the Government of Jamaica any claim against the Lessee or be deemed a breach of the Special Mining Lease insofar as such failure arises from force majeure as defined in clause 14.01 of the Establishment Agreement, and if through force majeure the fulfillment by the Lessee of any of the terms and conditions of the Special Mining Lease is delayed, the period of such delay shall be added to the periods fixed by this Special Mining Lease.
