2. Term of Lease

Subject to the conditions herein stated, the term of this lease shall be from July 13, 2007, to and including December 31, 2022, with an exclusive option to renew the lease for additional successive terms as provided for herein. LESSEE may exercise its first option to renew the lease, by written notice delivered to OWNER on or before November 15, 2022, whereupon the lease shall be deemed renewed and the term thereof extended to December 31, 2023. If, on November 1, 2023, the property is in commercial production, LESSEE may renew the lease by written notice delivered to the OWNER prior to November 15, 2023, for a period of one year and the lease shall thereby be extended to December 31, 2024. Similarly, if on November 1st in each succeeding year, the property remains in commercial production, LESSEE shall be entitled to renew the lease for additional one year terms, from year to year, in the manner hereinbefore provided. For the express purposes hereof, the property shall be considered to be in “commercial production” if, during the preceding 12 months, either 15,000 ounces of gold have been produced from the property or there has been production of metals and/or minerals during 12 months exceeding $125,000 in respect of which OWNER’s royalties are to be calculated under paragraph 4.

LESSEE will, at its cost, use its best efforts to produce a positive bankable feasibility study on the properties within twenty four (24) months of the date of this agreement. In the event that the LESSEE does not produce or receive a positive bankable feasibility study within the twenty four (24) month period following the date of this agreement, then Owner may terminate this agreement at its option, provided that such election to terminate must be made within ninety (90) days following the expiry of the twenty four (24) month period following the date of this agreement. LESSEE shall not be considered to have produced a positive bankable feasibility study unless LESSEE provides written notice to OWNER containing a copy of such study within 30 days of LESSEE’s production or receipt of any positive bankable feasibility study with respect to the properties. In the event that a decision is made to place the properties into commercial mineral production, the LESSEE will use its best efforts to arrange for all funding necessary to place the properties into commercial mineral production. The LESSEE will use its best efforts to achieve commercial production on the properties as early as possible following receipt of a positive bankable feasibility study,

2416131.1


provided (i) the LESSEE is able to achieve the required funding for the project, and (ii) the price of gold remains above $450 per ounce. The LESSEE shall be responsible for paying for all BLM, all state and county, and all other fees necessary to maintain any mineral claims comprising the properties in good standing in each year of the term of this agreement, provided that this agreement shall not have been terminated by June 1 of any year.

The LESSEE shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for all mining permits and licenses, and reclamation and all bonds or forms of security with respect to the properties during the term of the lease, and the LESSEE shall provide OWNER with photocopies of all such permits, licenses, bonds and security within 30 days of issuance of such permits, licenses, bonds or security.

3. Representations and Warranties

OWNER represents and warrants as follows:

(a)      Subject to the paramount title of the United States, it holds a one hundred percent (100%) interest in the patented mining claims listed in Exhibit “A”;

(b)      Owner represents that Owner owns the Property and all mineral rights within the boundary of said property free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances including financial encumbrances and non-financial encumbrances such as easements, leases, options, licenses and rights of way. Owner further represents that Owner is not aware of any disputes, legal actions, or environmental citations affecting the Property or any claims against the owner with respect to the Property or claiming or asserting any interest in the Property. Owner has not granted to any person any Lease, license to use or option to purchase the property. To the best of Owner’s knowledge, neither Owner, nor any Lessee, Licensee or Optionee has caused any hazardous materials to be discharged or released on the Property, nor is the Owner aware of any contamination of the Property by any hazardous materials.

(c)      Owner will deliver evidence of Owner’s title to the Property and copies of all documents bearing upon Owner's title, interest, or ownership in the Property. Lessee may then undertake such further investigation of the title and status of the Property as Lessee shall deem necessary. If that investigation should reveal defects in the title, Lessee and Owner agree to work together at Lessee’s expense to proceed forthwith to cure said title defects to the satisfaction of the Lessee.

2416131.1


          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, Owner shall not have any liability for breach of any of the representations, warranties, and/or knowledge or awareness in this Section 3, it being agreed between Owner and Lessee that Lessee agrees to pay for the cost of any title report, the cost of curing any title defects, and for any contamination or hazardous materials on the property.

4. Net Smelter Royalty, and Advance Payments

Upon commencement of commercial mineral production and continuing thereafter, the OWNER shall be entitled to be paid by the LESSEE a net smelter royalty interest on the gold and other metals and/or minerals produced from the properties, which shall be calculated and paid by LESSEE in the manner set forth below:

(a)      Net Smelter Royalty; Gold; Metals and/or Minerals Other than Gold LESSEE

shall pay OWNER a net smelter royalty, which shall be based on the following percentages of the gross proceeds received from any mint, smelter, refinery or other purchaser for the sale of gold produced from the property during the previous calendar quarter:

Percent When gold from the Property is sold for these amounts per troy ounce
   
3 $450 or less
   
5 $450.01 to $550
   
6 $550.01 to $700
   
7 $700.01 or more

LESSEE shall pay OWNER a net smelter royalty equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received from any mint, smelter, refinery or other purchaser for the sale of metals and/or minerals other than gold produced from the property during the previous calendar quarter.

All royalties shall be payable in U.S. dollars, and shall be paid to OWNER within 45 days of the end of each productive calendar quarter, and shall be accompanied by receipts of all sales during that previous quarter and a substantive report on the activities by LESSEE and his permitted assigns pertaining to the property. Payments due OWNER shall be mailed to OWNER’s above address 15 days before due, unless otherwise instructed.

(b) COMMINGLING OF ORES

The determination of Net Smelter Royalty hereunder is based on the premise that production will be developed solely on the properties. If other properties are incorporated in a single

 

4
2416131.1


mining project and metals, ores or concentrates pertaining to each are not readily segregated on a practical or equitable basis, the allocation of actual proceeds received and deductions there from shall be negotiated between the parties whereby LESSEE agrees to promptly provide OWNER with adequate reporting and accounting of any segregation and commingling of ores. If the parties fail to agree on such allocation, shall be referred to three (3) arbitrators to be appointed one (1) by LESSEE, one (1) by OWNER and one (1) by mutual consent of the first two or failing mutual consent either party may make application to the local district court to appoint a third arbitrator. The arbitrators shall have reference first to this agreement, and then, if necessary, to practices used in mining operations that are of similar nature. The arbitrators shall be entitled to retain such independent mining consultants as they consider necessary. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

(c)      Advance Payments

During the continuance of this agreement, and subject to the provisions of this agreement, LESSEE shall make advance payments to OWNER in accordance with the following schedule:

  (i)

$10,000 upon execution and delivery of this agreement.

     
  (ii)

$30,000 prior to each one year anniversary of this lease, including all option or renewal periods.

     
  (iii)

All payments and dollar amounts referred to herein and otherwise in this agreement shall be in U.S. funds. All advance payments under paragraph 5(c) clauses (i) and (ii) thereof, shall be entirely at LESSEE’s option and in the event any such payments are not timely made and the OWNER terminates this agreement as a consequence of such payments not being made, the LESSEE will have no further obligation to make any such payments to the OWNER. Such payments will be made in the manner set forth in Article 15. All advance payments made shall be credited against the royalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease, in the event the amount of the royalty payable to OWNER during any calendar year of this lease is less than the amount of the advance payments which would be payable to OWNER during that calendar year, LESSEE

 

5
2416131.1



 

shall promptly pay the OWNER the greater of the two amounts in consideration for the lease of the properties during such calendar year.

     
  (iv)

No minimum or advance payment shall be due in respect of any period if on or before the date such payment is due, this lease is terminated or surrendered.

     
  (v)

All payments by LESSEE to OWNER in this agreement shall be nonrefundable.

  (iii)

to erect, construct, use and maintain on the properties such roads, buildings, structures, machinery, and equipment as may be required to LESSEE for the conduct of its mining, milling and related operations; and

     
  (iv)

to remove and use timber from the properties, provided that such removal and use is for mining purposes and to the extent that such removal and use is not in contravention with any law or regulation of the State of Nevada or the United States of America.
