Dear Mr. Xxxxxxxxx,
Re: Letter of Intent to Enter into an Option Agreement
This letter sets forth a general offer to option 8 patented mining claims in Southeast Dome Township ( the “Property” as defined in Schedule “A”) from Grandview Gold Inc. ("Optionee" or “Grandview Gold”) by Goldcorp Inc ("Optionor" or “Goldcorp”). A full agreement will be issued after acceptance of this offer.
TERMS
The Optionor, Goldcorp Inc., offers CDN$100,000 in work on the ground to the Optionee, Grandview Gold Inc., for a 60% interest in the "Grandview Gold" property rights. Work is to be completed within 18 months of acceptance of the offer. | |
Goldcorp can elect at its option to complete all exploration expenditures within a period of time of less than 18 months to reach the 60% interest level. Goldcorp will be the operator during the earning period. Quarterly report of activities will be provided by Goldcorp. | |
Should Goldcorp reach a 60% interest in the Property a joint venture agreement will be put in place with an approximate CDN$166,000 opening valuation (Goldcorp 60% – Grandview Gold 40%). The condition of the joint venture will be agreed to by both Goldcorp and Grandview Gold and attached to the definitive option agreement. | |
Subsequent to the completion of the first CDN$100,000 of expenditures and the formation of the joint venture, Goldcorp can elect to be the operator of any work on the property. | |
The joint venture agreement will include standard dilution clauses for ongoing expenditures. | |
If during the joint venture Grandview Gold or Goldcorp are diluted to a 10% interest in the property, the interest converts to a 1% NSR, which can be purchased at any time by the other party for CND$500,000. | |
GOLDCORP INC. | -2- |
Grandview Gold will be free to disseminate news on a reasonable schedule and basis, in accordance with appropriate regulatory guidelines and rules, providing Goldcorp has approved the said news to its dissemination. | |
Grandview Gold will confirm the right to its underlying interest in the property and its ability and entitlement to execute a definitive option agreement. Should Grandview Gold not be able to confirm a full 100% interest in the Property, this letter of intent and any subsequent definitive agreement will become null and void and Goldcorp shall have no obligations to Grandview Gold. | |
By accepting these terms Grandview Gold also agrees to let Goldcorp have surface access to these claims as long as this agreement is valid. | |
Both parties agree to mutual confidentiality with respects to information exchange during execution and the term of a definitive option agreement. Grandview Gold grants Goldcorp unfettered access to the entire data to complete its required due diligence. Goldcorp agrees to provide a list of required due diligence items and to review said items as quickly as possible.
The terms of this letter of intent will become binding upon execution of a definitive agreement. Upon receipt of a signed copy of this letter of intent from Grandview Gold, Goldcorp agrees to draft a definitive agreement and terms of any subsequent joint venture.
Please find attached a list of the "Grandview Gold" claims and a general property outline of the "Grandview Gold" property.
Yours truly,
GOLDCORP INC.
