(A) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Lenders agree to loan to the Borrower $30,000,000 (the "Loan"). Each Lender shall make advances available hereunder on the basis of such Lender's Commitment, as set forth in Exhibit 1 annexed hereto. Each Lender is as of the date hereof a Canadian Resident.

(B) The Loan made by the Lenders shall be evidenced by one or more Term Notes executed and delivered by the Borrower in favour of each of the Lenders in the amount of such Lender's Commitment.

(C) Beginning June 30, 2013 and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, the Borrower shall repay $2,000,000 of the aggregate principal balance of the Loan then outstanding hereunder (without penalty) on a pari passu basis pro rata to all of the Lenders.

2.2

Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Loan shall be used exclusively (a) to fund the Repurchase, and (b) to fund the working capital requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.

2.3

Taxes.

(A) Any and all amounts payable to the Lenders by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Indemnified Taxes, except for Taxes required to be withheld or deducted by law or the interpretation thereof by the applicable Governmental Agency.

(B) If, as a result of a change in Applicable Law or any interpretation thereof, any Loan Party is required by law or the interpretation thereof by the applicable Governmental Agency to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder to a Lender, (1) except if such Loan party is required to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes as a result of a Lender as of the date hereof which is a Canadian Resident ceasing to be a Canadian resident, the amount so payable shall be increased by such additional amount as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including, without limitation, deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.3), the Lenders shall receive a net amount equal to the full amount it would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been made; (2) such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (3) such Loan Party shall remit, when due, the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the applicable Governmental Agency in accordance with applicable law.

(C) Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are remitted by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.3, as promptly as possible thereafter such Loan Party shall send to the Lenders, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party showing payment thereof.

(D) Each Loan Party shall pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless any Lender within fifteen Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on, or paid by such Lender, except to the extent that such Indemnified Taxes have been paid to the appropriate Governmental Agency by the Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.3(B), whether or not they were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such Indemnified Taxes submitted to the relevant Loan Party by such Lender shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from such Loan Party to such Lender.

(E) If a Lender has received a refund of or reduction in Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 2.3 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any net after-Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Agency with respect to such refund or reduction). The Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Agency) to such Lender if it is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Agency. This paragraph shall not be construed to require such Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction in Taxes.

(F) The agreements in this Section 2.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment and satisfaction of the Loan and all other Obligations hereunder.

2.4

Payments and Prepayments.

(A) Interest. The unpaid balance of the Loan shall bear interest from the date hereof, payable in monthly payments in arrears on the 30th day of each month in each year. The first such payment will fall due on November 30, 2012. Interest shall be payable at the Applicable Rate for each Interest Period from and including the last Interest Payment Date to, but excluding the next Interest Payment Date. For certainty, the first interest payment will include interest accrued and unpaid from and including the Closing Date, up to, but excluding, the first Interest Payment Date.

(B) Default Rate. In the event that any amount of principal of or interest on any Loan, or any other amount payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay interest on such unpaid principal, interest or other amount, from the date such amount becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 20.00% per annum. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, during the existence of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of all Loan, at a rate per annum equal to at all times to 20.00% per annum per annum. Payment of any such interest at the rate described above shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default and shall be without prejudice to the right of the Lender to exercise any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.

(C) Applicable Rate. The interest rate for the unpaid balance of the Loan during each Interest Period (the "Applicable Rate") shall be the interest rate based on the following table, calculated in accordance with this Section 2.4(C) based on the simple average of all Bloomberg Composite New York Gold Price closing prices during the Interest Period:

Bloomberg Composite New York Gold Price		Applicable Rate (per annum)
(US$/oz)

From $0 to $1,799.99		9%
From $1,800 to $1,999.99		10%
From $2,000 to $2,499.99		12%
From $2,500 and above		14%

In the event that the Bloomberg Composite New York Gold Price ceases to exist, calculations will be based on another widely recognized gold price, to be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders, each acting reasonably.

(D) Calculation. For each Interest Period, the Applicable Rate shall be determined based on the simple average of the Bloomberg Composite New York Gold Price closing price from the first day of the previous month to and including the last Business Day of such month. In the case of a Redemption or a Change of Control, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the simple average of the Bloomberg Composite New York Gold Price closing price from the first date of the previous month to and including to the date that is 15 days before the Redemption or Change of Control, as applicable.

(E) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest or fees due hereunder. The Borrower shall make each payment under the Loan Documents unconditionally in full without setoff, counterclaim or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other defense, and free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present and future taxes or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto. Each payment shall be made by wire transfer and not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day when due to the Security Agent on behalf of each Lender in Dollars and in same day funds, or such other funds as shall be separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Security Agent on behalf of each of the Lenders, in accordance with the Security Agent on behalf of each Lender's payment instructions.

(F) Time of Payment. All payments received by a Lender on a Business Day before 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be treated as having been received by such Lender on that day; payments made after such time on a Business Day shall be treated as having been received by such Lender on the next following Business Day. Receipt of a payment by the Security Agent shall constitute receipt by the applicable Lender.

(G) Computations. For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

(H) Highest Lawful Rate. The Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of (i) the interest otherwise payable pursuant to Sections 2.5(A) and (B) of this Agreement, plus (ii) the additional interest, if any, which may be deemed to result from any charge or fee in the nature of interest from time to time to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or other document executed and delivered in connection herewith. The total liability of the Borrower for the payment of such interest shall not exceed the applicable limit imposed by the usury laws of any applicable jurisdiction. If a Lender receives interest in an amount which exceeds such limit, such excess amount shall be applied instead to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance and not to the payment of interest, or at such Lender's election the surplus shall be remitted to the Borrower by such Lender, and the Borrower hereby agrees to accept such remittance.

(I) Repayment. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders in full the aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Loan outstanding on the applicable Maturity Date. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full, the Lenders will promptly, at the Borrower's sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, mortgage or deed of trust releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, the Lenders' Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by or on behalf of the Lenders with respect to the Obligations.

(J) Application. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.2 (or after the Loan has automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in Section 7.2), each payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder shall, unless a specific determination is made by the Lender with respect thereto, be applied (i) first, to any costs, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) due the Lenders; (ii) second, to accrued and unpaid interest due the Lender; and (iii) third, to principal due the Lenders. In the event any payment of principal is made other than on the applicable Maturity Date, and as a result the Lenders incur any costs or expenses (whether in connection with the repayment by it of corresponding amounts to its own funding source or otherwise), then the Borrower shall, upon demand and provision of details, pay the amount of such costs and expenses to the Lenders (provided however such costs and expenses shall not include loss of profits).

2.5

Redemption.

(A) Redemption. The Term Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Borrower at any time in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5 with notice to be as provided for in Section 2.5(B). The Term Notes may be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, from time to time at the option of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.5(C) at a price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the principal amount of the Term Notes to be redeemed multiplied by the percentage indicated in the chart below (the "Principal Redemption Factor"), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon:

Date		Principal Redemption Factor
Prior to January 1, 2014		105%
January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015		103%

In such circumstances, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to but excluding the Redemption Date (with the Applicable Rate being determined based on the simple average of the Bloomberg Composite New York Gold Price closing price from the beginning of the Interest Period to 15 days prior to the Redemption Date).

(B) Partial Redemption. Subject to written notice from 2 or more Lenders electing not to be paid on pro rata basis, if less than all the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan is to be redeemed, the Term Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Borrower on a pro rata basis in accordance with the principal amount of the Term Notes registered in the name of each Lender. In the event that one or more of such Term Notes becomes subject to redemption in part only, upon surrender of any such Term Notes for payment of the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to but excluding the Redemption Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver without charge to the Lender who holds such Term Notes or upon such Lender's order one or more new Term Notes for the unredeemed part of the principal amount of the Term Note or Term Notes so surrendered.

(C) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption (the "Redemption Notice") of Term Notes shall be given to the Lenders not more than 60 days nor less than 40 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date"). Every such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Term Notes called for redemption, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, together with a statement that accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to but excluding the Redemption Date, and the places of payment and shall state that interest upon the principal amount of Term Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue and be payable from and after the Redemption Date. In addition, unless all the outstanding Term Notes are to be redeemed, the Redemption Notice shall specify:

(i) the distinguishing letters and numbers of the Term Notes which are to be redeemed; and

(ii) in all cases, the principal amounts of such Term Notes or, if any such Note is to be redeemed in part only, the principal amount of such part.

(D) Term Notes due on Redemption Date. Notice having been given as provided in paragraph (C) above, all the Term Notes so called for redemption shall thereupon be and become due and payable at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date, on the Redemption Date specified in such notice, in the same manner and with the same effect as if it were the Maturity Date, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such Redemption Date, if the monies necessary to redeem such Term Notes shall have been paid to the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in Section 2.5(E), interest upon the Term Notes shall cease.

(E) Payment of Redemption Monies. Redemption of Term Notes shall be provided for by the Borrower paying to the Lenders (or as they otherwise direct), on or before 11:00 a.m. (Toronto) time in immediately available funds on the Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice, such sums of money as may be sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Term Notes so called for redemption, plus a sum of money sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but excluding the Redemption Date.

(F) Failure to Surrender Term Notes Called for Redemption. In case the holder of any Term Note so called for redemption shall fail on or before the Redemption Date to surrender such Term Note for redemption, such redemption monies may be set aside in trust, without interest, in a chartered bank, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the relevant Lender of the sum so set aside and, to that extent, the Tem Note shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding hereunder and such relevant Lender shall have no other right except to receive payment, out of the monies so paid and deposited upon surrender and delivery of such Term Note of the Redemption Price of such Term Note, plus accrued interest and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. In the event that any money required to be deposited hereunder with any paying agent on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Term Note shall remain so deposited for a period of six years from the Redemption Date, then such monies shall at the end of such period be paid over or delivered over by such paying agent to the Borrower on its demand, subject to applicable laws, thereafter the holder of a Term Note in respect of which such money was so repaid to the Borrower shall have no rights in respect thereof except to obtain payment of the money due from the Borrower, subject to any limitation period provided by the laws of the Province of Ontario.

(G) Cancellation. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5 as to Term Notes redeemed in whole or in part, all Term Notes redeemed and paid whose obligations have been satisfied under this Section 2.5 shall forthwith be delivered to the Borrower and cancelled and no Term Notes shall be issued in substitution therefor.

Within ten days following the last to occur of Section 2.6(A)(i) or Section 2.6(A)(ii), the Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders a notice stating that there has been a Change of Control Trigger Event and specifying the dates on which such Change of Control Trigger Event occurred and the circumstances or events giving rise to such Change of Control Trigger Event (a "Change of Control Notice") together with an offer in writing from the Borrower (the "Change of Control Purchase Offer") to purchase, on the Change of Control Purchase Date (as defined below), all (or any portion actually tendered to such offer) of the Term Notes then outstanding from the holders thereof made in accordance with the requirements of applicable law at a price per Term Note equal to the principal amount multiplied by the percentage below under "Change of Control Principal Repayment Factor" plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (together, the "Offer Price") to the Change of Control Purchase Date:

Date		Change of Control Principal Repayment Factor
Prior to Maturity Date		105%

The "Change of Control Purchase Date" shall be the 20th day after the date that the Change of Control Notice and Change of Control Purchase Offer are delivered or mailed to the Lenders.

(C) Threshold Level. If 90% or more in aggregate principal amount of Term Notes outstanding on the date the Change of Control Notice and the Change of Control Purchase Offer are delivered or mailed to the Lenders have been tendered for purchase and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Purchase Offer on the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Borrower has the right upon written notice (the "90% Redemption Right Notice") provided to the Lenders within 10 days following the Change of Control Purchase Date, to redeem all the Term Notes which would otherwise remain outstanding immediately following the Change of Control Purchase Date at the Offer Price as at the Change of Control Purchase Date (the "90% Redemption Right").

(D) Payment. The Borrower shall, on or before 11:00 a.m., Toronto time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date in respect of Term Notes to be purchased or redeemed pursuant to Section 2.6, and on or before the delivery of the 90% Redemption Right Notice in respect of the exercise of the 90% Redemption Right, deliver in immediately available funds to the Lenders such sums of money as may be sufficient to pay the Offer Price of the Term Notes to be purchased or redeemed by the Borrower.

(E) Due and Payable. Term Notes for which Lenders have accepted the Change of Control Purchase Offer and Term Notes which the Borrower has elected to redeem in accordance with Section 2.6(C) shall become due and payable at the Offer Price in cash in the same manner and with the same effect as if the Change of Control Purchase Date were the Maturity Date, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding and notwithstanding that the actual purchase thereof may be subsequent to the Change of Control Purchase Date, and from and after the Change of Control Purchase Date, if the money necessary to purchase or redeem the Term Notes shall have been deposited as provided in Section 2.6(D), interest on the Term Notes shall cease.

SECTION 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1

Assignments and Participations.

Each Lender may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan and further may assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of the Loan or any other interest therein, to another Person; provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred the consent of the Borrower to an assignment under this Section 9.1 shall be only required (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) in the case of a proposed assignment by a Lender to this Agreement on the date hereof who is a Canadian Resident to an assignee who is not a Canadian Resident, and the Borrower shall be entitled to withhold its consent to such assignment on the grounds that any of the costs contemplated by Section 2.3 or that result from such assignment are in excess of, as of the date of such assignment, the comparable costs that were required to be paid by the Borrower to the assigning Lender as of such date (immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment). If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Lender may assign all or any part of its interest in the Credit Facility to any person without the consent of the Borrower. In the case of an assignment authorized under this Section 9.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were the Lender hereunder and Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the commitments or assigned portion thereof. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a "Lender" hereunder. Lender may furnish any information concerning each Loan Party in its possession from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), provided that any such assignee or participant or prospective assignee or participant agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information pursuant to a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to each applicable Loan Party. The applicable Lender agrees to promptly provide details of each assignee and/or participant to the Borrower as may be reasonably required by the Borrower for reporting purposes. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign any of its rights or interest in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents in whole or in part.

9.2

Lenders Pari Passu.

Each of the Lenders hereby declares, covenants and agrees, as between themselves, that to the extent any Encumbrance is now or hereafter held by all or any of the Lenders, the Lenders shall each rank on a completely pari passu basis and, as between themselves, further agree that, in the event of any enforcement or realization, the Lenders shall divide and be entitled to the benefit of any assets on a pro rata basis, based on the proportion of the indebtedness of the Borrower to each such Lender (including accrued and unpaid interest) represents in relation to the total amount of the Loan (including accrued and unpaid interest) to all of the Lenders at such time. For greater certainty, in the event that any Lender should receive from the Borrower or any Loan Party any amounts pursuant to either or both of its Loan and the Loan Documents by way of realization, prepayment or otherwise, the amounts received, less such Lender's reasonable costs of realization, shall be deemed to have been received in trust and shall be paid out to the Lenders on a pro rata basis, calculated in the manner aforesaid, provided that no Lender shall receive proceeds in excess of the amount to which it is entitled pursuant to its pro rata share of the Loan as calculated in the manner aforesaid.

9.3

Set Off.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender, each permitted assignee of a Lender's interest, and each permitted participant is hereby authorized by each Loan Party at any time or from time to time, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to any Loan Party) and any other property at any time held or owing by that lender (including, without limitation, in respect of any offtake agreement) or permitted assignee to or for the credit or for the account of the Loan Parties against and on account of any of the Obligations then outstanding, in respect of such Lender, assignee or participant, as the case may be; provided, that no assignee or participant shall exercise such right without the prior written consent of the applicable Lender.

9.4

9.6

Amendments and Waivers.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom or any of the terms, conditions, or provisions thereof, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and each Loan Party.

ROYALTIES

Goldfields Project

Pursuant to an agreement dated as of the 22^nd day of March, 1994 between Greater ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources Corporation and Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation Limited ("Franco Nevada"), the Box mine and the Athona mine properties are now owned 100% by Linear Gold Corp. with Franco Nevada owning a 2% NSR on an area of interest of 10 miles from the external property boundaries of the Box mine property, Athona mine property, Fish Hook Bay property and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bay property.

Pursuant to an agreement dated March 16, 1994 between Cominco Ltd. ("Cominco") and Greater ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources Corp., the Box mine is also subject to a 1.5% NSR in favour of Cominco on all production beneath the 50 meters below mean sea level that is on the original Cominco mining claims. This royalty does not apply to the current Box mine plan since it is above the minus 50 meters below sea level elevation.
