Time used for initial, intermediate (if any) and final draft survey shall not count as Laytime.

(g)

Once agreement is reached or determination made by Referee(s) on the Market Related Terms for a relevant period, any shipments of Parcels forming part of the Annual Quantity for that period already invoiced on an interim basis shall be promptly re-invoiced based on the agreed or determined Market Related Terms for that period. Any payments required to be made by one party to the other pursuant to such re-invoicing shall be made within five Business Days after the date such revised invoices are issued.

The Freight Differential shall be determined by Seller on the basis of the actual freight rates specified in Seller’s Contracts of Affreightment or Charter Parties in force at the time of shipment of such Parcel for shipments

between the Port of Loading and the Discharge Port as compared to shipments between the Port of Loading and [**], respectively, provided that if Seller does not have a Contract of Affreightment or Charter Party to any [**], the freight rates from Port of Loading to [**] quoted in the market for deliveries of similar sized parcels from the Port of Loading to [**] shall be used.

(a)	Weighing, sampling and determination of the moisture content shall be carried out at the Buyer’s option either at Discharge Port or Receiving Smelter and in lot sizes of approximately 500 (five hundred) WMT each or as otherwise agreed between Buyer and Seller by the method which is customarily employed at either Receiving Smelter or Discharge Port, as the case may be.


(b)	These operations shall be performed under the inspection of an internationally recognised supervision company appointed by the Seller. The costs of the supervision company shall be borne by the Seller.

9.2 Determination of Dry Weight and Moisture

The dry weight and moisture as determined pursuant to Section 9.1 shall govern for the purpose of final settlement of the Total Compensation for each Parcel.

For the purposes of sampling each Parcel shall be divided into separate lots (each a “Lot”) of approximately 500 WMT each or as otherwise mutually agreed and samples shall be taken from each such Lot.

9.4 Number and Handling of Samples

The sample taken from each Lot shall be divided into six equal parts: two for Seller, two for Buyer and two for reserve. The reserve samples shall be sealed and retained by the appointed Seller representative.

9.5 Composite Samples

For the purpose of conducting any analysis for penalty elements, six sets of composite samples shall be taken from the Lots making up each Parcel, two for the Seller, two for Buyer, and two for reserve. The reserve samples shall be retained by Seller's appointed representative.

ARTICLE 10. ASSAYS

10.1 Copper, Gold and Silver and Penalty Elements

The copper, gold, silver and penalty elements (if any) contained in each Parcel shall be determined in accordance with this Article.

10.2 Method for Determining Final Analysis

(a)

From the Lot samples taken in accordance with Article 9, assays for copper, gold and silver respectively, shall be made independently by Seller and Buyer and the results of such assays shall be exchanged simultaneously on a Lot-by-Lot basis by courier within 60 days from the date the samples are taken and sealed. If one Party fails to so exchange its assay results, the assay results of the other Party shall be deemed to be conclusive, provided that if such failure is due to valid and justifiable reason, then upon the request of such Party, the other Party shall, in good faith, consider extension of time limit for exchanging the assays.


(b)	Determination for gold and silver assays shall be made in accordance with fire assay methods corrected for slag loss and cupel absorption. Umpires, when required, shall be instructed accordingly.


(c)	Determination of penalty elements shall be made on a composite basis. Umpire, when required, shall be instructed accordingly.


(i)	[**]


(d)	The mean of the Parties’ assay results for each Payable Metal shall be final and binding upon the Parties, if the differences between them are within the following limits (“Splitting Limits”):



Copper	[**]
Gold	[**]
Silver	[**]

The Splitting Limits for any agreed penalty elements shall be mutually agreed between the Parties at such time as they agree on any penalty elements.


(e)	All assays (including umpire assay) shall show copper content to 1/100^th of one percent, silver content to the nearest one gram and gold content to the nearest 1/10^th of a gram per DMT.

10.3 Designation of Umpire


(a)	If the difference between the results of the Buyer’s and Seller’s assays described in Section 10.2 exceeds the applicable Splitting Limit, then either Seller or Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the other, to refer the matter in to one of the designated Umpires.


(b)	The two Umpires listed in Schedule "B" shall be designated for this purpose.


(c)	If neither Party shall so refer the matter to the Umpire within 20 days after the date of exchange of such results, the mean of such results of Seller and Buyer shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

10.4 Final Analysis Based on Umpire's Assay

If either Party shall so refer the matter to the Umpire, then the Umpire's assay shall be made using one of the reserve samples referred to in Section 9.4. The Umpire shall be instructed to advise both Seller and Buyer of the results of the Umpire's assay by e-mail and mail. If:


(a)	the Umpire's assay falls between the assays of Seller and Buyer, then the mean of the results of the Umpire's assay and the results of the assay of the Party whose results are nearer to that of the Umpire's results shall be final and binding on the Parties;


(b)	the results of the Umpire's assay shall be the mean of the results of the assays of the respective Parties, then the results of the Umpire's assay shall govern;


(c)	the assay of the Umpire falls outside the assays of Seller and Buyer, then the middle assay of the three shall be final for settlement; and


(d)	the assay of the umpire coincides exactly with the result of either of Buyer or Seller, then the Umpire's assay shall govern.

The cost of the Umpire shall be paid by the party whose results are farthest from the Umpire's, except that, if the results of the Umpire's assay is the mean of the results of the respective Parties, then the cost shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer. The Umpire shall not be employed to prepare the assay of either Seller or Buyer nor shall the Umpire be chosen to represent either Buyer or Seller during supervision of the weighing and sampling procedures as set forth in Section 9.1(b).

(f)	If any Event of Force Majeure continues in effect for a period of more than 365 days, then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

The right to cancel quantities of Concentrate or the right to terminate the Agreement as set forth above shall be made by written notice to the other Party at any time prior to receipt of a notice that the Event of Force Majeure has ceased. In the event of a termination of the Agreement all obligations, covenants and commitments of both parties hereto, except outstanding payments to be made hereunder, shall cease to exist on the date such notice is given.

Parties have submitted their respective positions to the Referee(s), the Referee(s) shall, within 20 days thereafter, finally determine any such matter by selecting one of such two positions. In making the selection the Referee(s) shall reference the relevant metals industry trade publications and information sources referred to in Section 7.8(a). The Referee(s) shall share these information sources with Buyer and Seller no later than 5 days prior to making a final determination. If either Buyer or Seller fails to submit its respective position to the Referee(s) prior to the expiry of the Submission Period, the Referee(s) shall, promptly following expiry of such period, finally determine that the sole position submitted to him (them) shall prevail. Any such determination as described herein and otherwise made in accordance with this Agreement shall be final and binding on the Parties. Any such determination as described herein, whether of the single Referee, in case there is only one Referee, or the majority of the Referees, in case there are three Referees, and otherwise made in accordance with this Agreement, shall be final and binding on the Parties.

12.5 Costs

In the event that the Parties reach agreement in writing on a particular issue prior to the determination by a single Referee hereunder, any costs associated with the services of such Referee shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.
