7.3. Extension. The extension of time for the observance of conditions or performance of obligations as a result of force majeure shall not relieve the Optionee from its obligations to keep the Property in good standing, and to issue the Payment Shares within the prescribed periods.

8. Financial Reporting

8.1. Audit. An audit shall be prepared annually by the Optionee. Each annual audit shall be final and not subject to adjustment unless the Optionors delivers to the Optionee written exceptions in reasonable detail within six months after the Optionors receives the report. The Optionors shall not have access to any books and records of the Optionee. The audit shall be conducted by an independent chartered or certified public accountant of recognized standing. The Optionor shall have the right to conditional 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 Optionors’s report shall be delivered to the Optionee upon completion, and any discrepancy between the amount actually paid by the Optionee and the amount which should have been paid according to the Optionors’s report shall be paid in a timely manner, one party to the other. If the discrepancy requires a payment to the Optionors of an amount in excess of 10% of the amount which was paid to the Optionors for the audited period, the entire cost of the audit shall be borne by the Optionee, and the Optionee shall reimburse the Optionors accordingly; otherwise, the Optionors shall bear the entire cost of the audit.

8.2. No restriction on staking. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall have the effect of restricting in any way the entitlement of the Optionors or the Optionees to stake or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, interests and rights in MDUs and mining concessions, and licenses, leases, grants, concessions, permits and patents relating to a mineral property.

8.3. Title to Property. The title to the Property shall be recorded upon the Optionee having complied with all of the terms of this Agreement under Section 3 of this Agreement in each of the names of the Optionors and Optionee as to their respective undivided interests.

11.14. Arbitration.

(a)

If there is a dispute between the parties with respect to this Agreement, or the interpretation of this Agreement, the Optionee and the Optionors shall, firstly, be obligated to use best efforts to reconcile and settle each and every dispute. In the event that a settlement or agreement cannot be reached between the parties, the aggrieved party (“Claimant”) shall, pursuant to Section 10.1 herein, deliver an arbitration notice (“Arbitration Notice”) to the other party (the “Respondent”) detailing the nature of the dispute, the facts and the relevant evidence. Within 7 days that the Respondent receives the Arbitration Notice, each of the Claimant and the Respondent shall appoint a nominee. The two nominees so appointed shall, within 21 days of the date of the Arbitration Notice, in turn select a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) to settle all matters arising from the dispute. In the event that either the Claimant or Respondent, or their selected nominees, fail to appoint the Arbitrator within the prescribed periods, the party in default of the time provisions shall automatically accept the arbitrator selected by the party not in default, as being the Arbitrator to settle all matters arising from the dispute.

(b)

The Claimant shall deposit with the Arbitrator a full and complete formal statement of claim, which shall not be subject to amendment at any time during the arbitration process unless otherwise permitted by the Arbitrator, within 30 days of the date that the Arbitrator was selected. Unless otherwise required by the Regulatory Authorities, neither the Claimant nor the Respondent shall announce publicly the alleged concessions or dispute until such time as a formal statement of claim has been deposited with the Arbitrator.

(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. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to award and direct that the parties, or either of them, execute and deliver such releases, conveyances, deeds, assurances and other documents as the Arbitrator thinks fit, and these releases, conveyances, deeds, assurances and other documents shall be executed and delivered accordingly

(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 Chile and either of a practising notary, lawyer, advocate, accountant, professor, in the Country of Chile, or a retired justice of any of the courts of Chile. An Arbitrator selected outside of the jurisdiction of Chile may 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 Courts of Chile.

11.15. Governing Law and Attornment. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Chile applicable therein and the parties hereby irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the country of Chile. For the purpose of all legal proceedings, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed in the country of Chile and the courts of the country of Chile shall have exclusive jurisdiction to entertain any action arising under this Agreement

11.16. Language. It is the express wish of the parties hereto that this Agreement, if required, and all documents drafted pursuant to Chilean laws and as contemplated hereby shall be drawn up in English and Spanish.

11.17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in as many counterparts as are necessary and shall be binding on each party when each party hereto has signed and delivered one such counterpart. When a counterpart of this Agreement has been executed by each party, all counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.
