Tax Treatment

The Arrangement is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 368 of the Code. Each Party agrees to treat the Arrangement as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for all United States federal income tax purposes, and agrees to treat this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 368 of the Code, and to not take any position on any Tax return or otherwise take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with such treatment, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code that such treatment is not correct. Each Party agrees to act in good faith, consistent with the intent of the Parties and the intended treatment of the Arrangement as set forth herein. The Arrangement is intended to allow the Alamos Shares held by Alamos Shareholders and the AuRico Shares held by AuRico Shareholders to be converted to Amalco Shares on a tax-deferred basis for United States federal income tax purposes.

Structuring

The Parties and their advisors shall in good faith consider and investigate whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be effected in a manner which is more tax efficient than that set out herein. If, following such investigation, the Parties deem it necessary or advisable, the Parties shall amend the Plan of Arrangement and/or this Agreement in order to provide for a more tax efficient structure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Alamos nor AuRico shall be obligated to agree to any amendment if (A) such amendment would have adverse tax or other consequences to (i) Alamos or the Alamos Shareholders, (ii) AuRico or the AuRico Shareholders or (iii) New AuRico; or (B) such amendment would impair, or delay the consummation of, the Arrangement.

The Parties and their advisors shall in good faith consider and investigate preparing and mailing a joint circular for the AuRico Meeting and Alamos Meeting in lieu of each Party preparing and mailing its own information circular.

U.S. Securities Matters

The Parties intend that the issuance of the 3(a)(10) Securities under the Arrangement will be exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof (the “Section 3(a)(10) Exemption”), will not be subject to registration or qualification under state “blue

sky” or securities laws and will otherwise be in compliance with all U.S. Securities Laws. Each Party agrees to act in good faith, consistent with the intent of the Parties and the intended treatment of the Arrangement set forth in this Section 2.9.

In order to ensure the availability of the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, the Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out on the following basis:

(a)	the Arrangement will be subject to the approval of the Court;

(b)	the Court will be advised as to the intention of the Parties to rely on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption prior to the hearing required to approve the Arrangement;

(c)	the Court will be required to satisfy itself as to the fairness of the Arrangement;

(d)	the Final Order will expressly state that the Arrangement is approved by the Court as being fair to the Persons to whom the 3(a)(10) Securities will be issued;

(e)

the Parties will ensure that each Person entitled to receive 3(a)(10) Securities on completion of the Arrangement will be given adequate notice advising them of their right to attend the hearing of the Court to give approval of the Arrangement and providing them with sufficient information necessary for them to exercise that right;

(f)

each Person to whom 3(a)(10) Securities will be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be advised that the 3(a)(10) Securities issued pursuant the Arrangement have not been registered under the 1933 Act and will be issued by Amalco or New AuRico, as the case may be, in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and will be subject to certain restrictions on resale under the securities laws of the United States, including, as applicable, Rule 144 under the 1933 Act with respect to securities issued to affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule 144) of Amalco or New AuRico, as the case may be;

(g)

the Interim Order approving the AuRico Meeting and the Alamos Meeting will specify that each Person to whom 3(a)(10) Securities will be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will have the right to appear before the Court at the hearing of the Court to give approval of the Arrangement so long as such securityholder enters an appearance within a reasonable time; and

(h)	the Final Order shall include a statement to substantially the following effect:

“This Order will serve as the basis of a claim to an exemption, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from the registration requirements otherwise imposed by that act, regarding the distribution of securities of Amalco, AuRico and New AuRico, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.”

Spin-Off Transaction

(a)

The Spin-off Transaction will be completed pursuant to and in accordance with the New AuRico Contribution Agreement and the Arrangement, and in connection therewith, (X) AuRico will transfer, assign and convey to New AuRico all of the right, title and interest of AuRico in and to the New AuRico Property for the consideration specified in the Plan of Arrangement, which shall include New AuRico Shares (which New AuRico Shares will subsequently be distributed to holders of Amalco Shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement) and (Y) New AuRico will assume the New AuRico Liabilities. It is the intention of the Parties that the transfer of the New AuRico Property will be structured with a view to minimizing the tax consequences on the Parties and their respective securityholders. The transfer of the New AuRico Property to New AuRico will happen at fair market value and may not be eligible for tax deferred treatment and the distribution of the New AuRico Shares to holders of Amalco Shares shall, to the extent possible, be treated as a capital repayment that is not treated as a dividend under the Tax Act.

(b)

AuRico shall cause New AuRico to be formed under the OBCA in accordance with the OBCA and all other applicable Laws prior to the filing of the Articles of Arrangement. Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, AuRico shall not cause or permit New AuRico to carry on any business, except as expressly required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Pursuant to the New AuRico Contribution Agreement, New AuRico will acknowledge and agree that:

(c)	it is fully informed of all matters relating to the New AuRico Property and the New AuRico Liabilities;

(d)	none of Alamos, AuRico or Amalco is making any representation, warranty or covenant to, or for the benefit of, New AuRico with respect to the New AuRico Property, the New AuRico Liabilities or the Spin-off Transaction;

(e)	if the Spin-off transaction is consummated pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, New AuRico will acquire the New AuRico Property on an “as is, where is” basis at the sole risk and peril of New AuRico;

(f)

none of Alamos, AuRico, Amalco or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives shall have any liability to New AuRico in respect of the New AuRico Property, the New AuRico Liabilities or any aspect of the Spin-off Transaction and New AuRico shall have no recourse against Alamos, AuRico or Amalco in relation thereto;

(g)	New AuRico shall be responsible for, and shall pay, all GST/HST and PST arising or payable in respect of the transfer to New AuRico of the New AuRico Property; and

(h)	New AuRico shall provide an indemnity in favour of AuRico and Alamos, to indemnify and save harmless AuRico, Alamos and their respective Subsidiaries, successors and

assigns for, from and against all Losses sustained, suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of, arising out of or in connection with any Indemnified Liability, which indemnity shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties, each acting reasonably.

In addition, pursuant to the New AuRico Contribution Agreement, the parties shall agree to an allocation of the consideration for the New AuRico Property amongst the New AuRico Property for tax purposes and will agree to file all tax returns in a manner consistent with that allocation.

The Parties agree that for purposes of the New AuRico Contribution Agreement, references to AuRico or Alamos shall include Amalco.

Alamos and AuRico shall co-operate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to structure in an efficient manner an arrangement in respect of Amalco’s obligations following the Effective Date with regards to the securities referred to under “Excluded Taxes” in the AuRico Disclosure Letter and the “Excluded Taxes” referred to in the AuRico Disclosure Letter, it being understood that New AuRico shall not be adversely effected in any material respect by such arrangements.

The Parties agree that for purposes of the Non-Solicitation Agreement, references to AuRico shall include Amalco.

All of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Alamos Subsidiaries are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable to the extent such a concept exists under applicable Law. All of the outstanding shares of the Alamos Subsidiaries are owned directly or indirectly by Alamos.

Alamos also agrees not to, and to cause the Alamos Subsidiaries not to, amend, modify or waive any such confidentiality, non-solicitation or standstill agreement or provision and undertakes to enforce, or cause the Alamos Subsidiaries to enforce, such agreements and provisions.

114

(c)

Alamos shall notify AuRico thereof, at first orally and then, as soon as possible thereafter, in writing, promptly and, in any event, within twenty four (24) hours of the receipt by it, a Alamos Subsidiary or a Representative, of any Alamos Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment thereto, or any request for non-public information relating to Alamos or any of the Alamos Subsidiaries in connection with any potential Alamos Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Alamos or any of the Alamos Subsidiaries by any Person (other than in the ordinary course of business and unrelated to any potential Alamos Acquisition Proposal). Such notice shall include a description of the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making, any Alamos Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, offer or request. Alamos shall also promptly provide AuRico with (i) a copy of any written notice or other written communication from any Person informing Alamos, any Alamos Subsidiary or a Representative that it is considering making or has made, a Alamos Acquisition Proposal, (ii) a copy of any Alamos Acquisition Proposal (or any amendment thereof) received by Alamos or a Representative and (iii) such other details of any such Alamos Acquisition Proposal that AuRico may reasonably request. Alamos shall keep AuRico informed of the status of any Alamos Acquisition Proposal and keep AuRico fully informed as to the material details of all discussions or negotiations.

(d)

If Alamos is in compliance with its obligations under Section 6.1(a) to (c) and if Alamos receives a request for material non-public information from a Person who is considering making or has made a written Alamos Acquisition Proposal (the existence and content of which have been disclosed to AuRico), and the Alamos Board determines that such proposal would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, reasonably be expected to result in a Alamos Superior Proposal or does constitute a Alamos Superior Proposal, subject to and as contemplated under this Section 6.1, then, and only in such case, the Alamos Board may provide such Person with access to information regarding Alamos and the Alamos Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (i) Alamos shall have entered into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with such person containing confidentiality, purpose, use, non-solicitation and standstill provisions that are no less restrictive than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (however such confidentiality and standstill agreement may permit such person to make a Alamos Acquisition Proposal in compliance with the terms of this Agreement); (ii) AuRico is provided with a complete list or copies of any and all information provided to such Person on a timely basis (unless such information was previously provided to AuRico); and (iii) AuRico is provided with prompt and similar access to such information (unless such information was previously provided to AuRico).

(e)	Alamos shall ensure that the Alamos Subsidiaries and the Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 6.1, and Alamos shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.1 by the Alamos Subsidiaries or the Representatives.

the Person making the Alamos Superior Proposal is not restricted from making such Alamos Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, non-disclosure, standstill or other similar restriction;

(v)

Alamos has provided AuRico with written notice promptly following the Alamos Board’s determination, that (x) the Alamos Acquisition Proposal constitutes an Alamos Superior Proposal and (y) the Alamos Board intends to accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement with respect to such Alamos Superior Proposal and a period (the “AuRico Response Period”) of five Business Days has elapsed from the date that is the later of: (x) the date on which AuRico receives such written notice; and (y) the date AuRico receives from Alamos a copy of the Alamos Acquisition Proposal (together with a copy of such agreement and any ancillary agreements) which the Alamos Board has unanimously determined is an Alamos Superior Proposal; and

During the AuRico Response Period, AuRico shall have the right, but not the obligation, to propose in writing to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement. During the AuRico Response Period, Alamos shall negotiate with AuRico in good faith and in a manner consistent with the fiduciary duties of the Alamos Board. The Alamos Board shall review any proposal by AuRico to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine, in good faith and in a manner consistent with the fiduciary duties of the Alamos Board, whether the proposed amendment by AuRico upon acceptance by Alamos would result in the Alamos Acquisition Proposal not being a Alamos Superior Proposal. If the Alamos Board so determines, Alamos shall enter into an amended agreement with AuRico reflecting the amended proposal of AuRico and will promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement as amended.

(c)

Alamos acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Alamos Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Alamos Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 6.2 and AuRico shall be afforded a new AuRico Response Period and the rights afforded in this Section 6.2 shall apply in respect of each such Alamos Acquisition Proposal.

116

Acquisition Proposal is not a Alamos Superior Proposal; or (ii) the Alamos Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement would result in the Alamos Acquisition Proposal which has been publicly announced or made not being a Alamos Superior Proposal, and AuRico has so amended the terms of the Arrangement. AuRico and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Alamos, acting reasonably.

(e)

If the Alamos Circular has been sent to Alamos Shareholders prior to the expiry of the AuRico Response Period and, during such period, AuRico requests in writing that the Alamos Meeting proceed, Alamos shall continue to take all reasonable steps necessary to hold the Alamos Meeting and to cause the Arrangement and the Continuance to be voted on at the Alamos Meeting.

(f)

Where at any time before the Alamos Meeting, Alamos has provided AuRico with a notice under subsection 6.1(c) or subsection 6.2(a)(v), or a Alamos Acquisition Proposal has been publicly disclosed or announced, and, in the case of subsection 6.2(a)(v) the AuRico Response Period has not elapsed, then, subject to applicable Laws, at AuRico’s request, Alamos will postpone or adjourn the Alamos Meeting at the Alamos Meeting (but not beforehand without AuRico’s consent) to a date acceptable to AuRico, acting reasonably, which shall not be less than five days and not more than ten Business Days after the scheduled date of the Alamos Meeting and shall, in the event that AuRico and Alamos amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to subsection 6.2(b), ensure that the details of such amended Agreement are communicated to the Alamos Shareholders prior to the resumption of the adjourned or postponed Alamos Meeting.

CERTIFICATES AND FRACTIONAL SHARES

- 20 -

A Shares under the Arrangement, together with such other documents and instruments as would have been required to effect the transfer of the shares formerly represented by such certificate under the OBCA and the by-laws of AuRico or Alamos, as applicable, and such additional documents and instruments as the Depository may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depository shall deliver to such holder, (i) a certificate representing that number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Class A Shares into which such holder’s AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, as the case may be, were ultimately converted (together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2 and any cash in lieu of fractional Amalco Shares pursuant to Section 4.3), (ii) a certificate representing that number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of New AuRico Shares to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement and this Plan of Arrangement, and (iii) in the case of a holder of Alamos Shares, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the cash which such holder has the right to receive under the Arrangement and this Plan of Arrangement from Amalco for such Alamos Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.6, and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of AuRico or Alamos, as applicable, a certificate representing the proper number of Class A Shares and New AuRico Shares may be issued to the transferee if the certificate representing such AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, as applicable, is presented to the Depository, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.1, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares that were converted pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender (i) the certificate representing Class A Shares and New AuRico Shares as contemplated by this Section 4.1, (ii) a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares as contemplated by Section 4.3, (iii) with respect to any certificate representing one or more Alamos Shares, the cash payment contemplated by this Section 4.1, and (iv) any dividends or distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid or payable with respect to Amalco Shares as contemplated by Section 4.2.

4.2

Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates

No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Amalco Shares, Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 4.3, unless and until the holder of record of such certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Section 4.1. Subject to applicable Law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates representing whole AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares, without interest, (i) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 4.3, (ii) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to

- 21 -

such whole Amalco Share, Class A Share or New AuRico Share and (iii) on the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole Amalco Share, Class A Share or New AuRico Share as the case may be.

4.3

No Fractional Shares

No certificates or scrip representing fractional Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates pursuant to Section 4.1 and no dividend, stock split or other change in the capital structure of Amalco shall relate to any such fractional security and such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to exercise any rights as a security holder of Amalco. The number of Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares to be issued to any person pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Class A Share or New AuRico Share, as applicable. For greater certainty, where such fractional interest is greater than or equal to 0.5, the number of Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares, as applicable, to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number and where such fractional interest is less than 0.5, the number of Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares, as applicable, to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. In calculating such fractional interests, all Class A Shares or New AuRico Shares, as applicable, registered in the name of or beneficially held by an Amalco Shareholder or New AuRico Shareholder, as applicable, or its nominee shall be aggregated.

4.4

Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depository will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, cash and/or one or more certificates representing one or more Class A Shares and/or New AuRico Shares, as applicable (and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2 and any cash pursuant to Section 4.3) to which the holder thereof is entitled to under the Arrangement and this Plan of Arrangement deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom certificates representing Class A Shares and/or New AuRico Shares are to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to Amalco and New AuRico, and its transfer agents in such sum as Amalco and New AuRico may direct or otherwise indemnify Amalco and New AuRico in a manner satisfactory to Amalco against any claim that may be made against Amalco and New AuRico with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.5

Extinction of Rights

Any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding AuRico Shares or Alamos Shares and not deposited with all other instruments required

- 22 -

by Section 4.1 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature as a shareholder of Amalco. On such date, the Class A Shares and New AuRico Shares (or cash in lieu of fractional interests therein) to which the former holder of the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence was ultimately entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Amalco or New AuRico, as applicable, together with all entitlements to dividends, distributions and interest thereon held for such former registered holder.

4.6

Withholding Rights

AuRico, Alamos, Amalco and the Depository shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend or amount otherwise payable to any holder of AuRico Shares, Alamos Shares, Alamos Warrants, Alamos DSUs, Alamos SARs, Alamos Options, AuRico DSUs, AuRico RSUs, AuRico PSUs, AuRico Options such amounts as Amalco or the Depository are required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the U.S. Tax Code or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign Tax Law, in each case as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash component, if any, of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, Amalco and the Depository are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of any share or other security otherwise issuable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Amalco or the Depository, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Amalco or the Depository shall notify the holder thereof and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AuRico, Alamos and Amalco, as applicable, shall not withhold shares where the holder of the award has made arrangements to satisfy any withholding taxes, in advance, to the satisfaction of AuRico, Alamos, and Amalco, as applicable.

4.7

Calculations

All amounts of consideration to be received under this Plan of Arrangement will be calculated to the nearest cent ($0.01) or to the nearest tenth of one percent (0.01%), as applicable. For greater certainty if pursuant to Section 2.3(j) a registered holder will receive in the aggregate less than $0.01 in respect of all the Alamos Shares registered in such holders name, the cash consideration to be received by such holder will be rounded up to $0.01. All calculation and determinations by AuRico, Alamos, Amalco, New AuRico or the Depository, as applicable, for the purposes of this Plan of Arrangement shall be conclusive, final and binding.

- 23 -

4.8

Tax Elections

AuRico understands that Alamos is, or will be after the closing of the Private Placement (as such term is defined the Arrangement Agreement), the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of, or has or will have direction or control over the number of common shares (the “Shares”) of AuRico, if any, set forth in Alamos’ acceptance (the “Acceptance”) at the end of this voting and support agreement (this “Agreement”).

2.	THE ARRANGEMENT

The Parties expect to undertake a transaction on the terms and conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement (the “Proposed Transaction”) pursuant to which, among other things, Alamos and AuRico shall merge by way of a plan of arrangement under Section 182 of the OBCA.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Arrangement Agreement.

(b)

vote or cause to be voted (in person or by proxy) at any meeting of the securityholders of AuRico any Subject Securities against, or not tender or cause to be tendered any Subject Securities to:

(ii)

the issuance of any securities of AuRico other than the Proposed Transaction and any transaction related thereto;

(iii)

any action that is reasonably likely to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, hinder, prevent, or adversely affect in any material respect the Proposed Transaction including, without limitation, any AuRico Acquisition Proposal; or

(d)

for greater certainty, in connection with any matter referred to in Section 3(b), consult with AuRico prior to exercising any voting rights attached to its Subject Securities and exercise or procure the exercise of such voting rights as AuRico shall instruct, including the delivery to AuRico, upon its request or direction, of a proxy in respect of any such resolution;

IV. Opinion

1. NAYARIT GOLD DE MEXICO, S.A. de C.V. and ORO DE ALTAR S. DE R.L. DE C.V.: having been validly incorporated pursuant to the Mexican commercial legislation and since they have: i) a corporate purpose that refers to the exploration or exploitation of minerals or substances subject to the application of the Mining Law; ii) its legal domicile in the Mexican Republic; and iii) participation of foreign investors as allowed by the Foreign Investment Law, pursuant to Article 11 of the Mining Law, these two companies are legally capable of holding and hold their acquired interest in the Concessions.

The Concessions: Based on our search performed before the General Bureau of Mines and in the Public Registry of Mining, it is our opinion that all the concessions of the mining lots operated by NAYARIT GOLD DE MEXICO, S.A. de C.V. and ORO DE ALTAR S. DE R.L DE C.V. are in good standing, and currently valid for purposes of exploitation and exploration, as applicable, of the mining claims covered by the concessions pursuant to the Mexican mining legislation. With the exception of the due mining rights payments described in Point III, letter B) of this legal opinion, no fees, taxes or levies are currently due in respect of any of them.

This opinion is solely for the benefit of the addressees, and no other entity or person shall be entitled to rely on its contents without the express written consent of Pablo Mendez Alvidrez.

Should you have any questions with respect to this opinion, please do not hesitate to call on us.

Sincerely yours,

Pablo Mendez Alvidrez
