will not include expenses that are “Canadian exploration and development overhead expenses” (as defined in the Regulations to the Tax Act for purposes of paragraph 66(12.6)(b) of the Tax Act) of the Corporation or amounts which constitute the cost of acquiring or obtaining the use of seismic data described in paragraph 66(12.6)(b.1) of the Tax Act or any expenses for prepaid services or rent that do not qualify as outlays and expenses for the applicable period as described in the definition of “expense” in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act,

(C)	will not include any amount that has previously been renounced by the Corporation to the FT Purchasers or to any other Person, and

-29-

(D)	would be deductible by the Corporation in computing its income for the purposes of Part I of the Tax Act but for the renunciation thereof to the FT Purchasers;

(xi)	except as required by the Tax Act, the Corporation shall not reduce the amount renounced to the FT Purchasers pursuant to subsection 66(12.6) and 66(12.66) of the Tax Act;

(xii)

the Corporation shall not be subject to the provisions of subsection 66(12.67) of the Tax Act in a manner which impairs its ability to renounce Resource Expenses to the FT Purchasers in an amount equal to the Commitment Amount;

(xiii)

if the Corporation receives, or becomes entitled to receive, any government assistance which is described in the definition of “excluded obligation” in subsection 6202.1(5) of the regulations made under the Tax Act and the receipt of or entitlement to receive such government assistance has or will have the effect of reducing the amount of CEE validly renounced to the FT Purchasers to less than the Commitment Amount, the Corporation will incur additional Resource Expenses using funds from other sources in an amount equal to such assistance such that the aggregate Resource Expenses renounced to the FT Purchasers will be equal to the Commitment Amount; and

(xiv)

upon the Corporation becoming aware of the fact that the amount purportedly renounced pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount that it is entitled to renounce under the Tax Act, the Corporation will notify the Purchaser and the CRA immediately and comply with subsection 66(12.73) of the Tax Act, including the filing with the CRA of the statement contemplated therein, in an expeditious manner.

(d)

Use of Proceeds: The gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the Flow-Through Shares will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses which qualify as Flow-Through Mining Expenditures on the exploration of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ property and the GP2 property as described in the information part of the claims listed in Schedule B to this Agreement. The gross proceeds from the Unit Offering will be used for general working capital purposes, including payment of the Agent’s cash commission and other expenses of the Offering.

(e)

Lock Up: For a period of five months following the Closing Date, the Corporation agrees that it shall not without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, issue or announce the issuance of any of its Common Shares or other securities, other than pursuant to: (i) a bona fide acquisition by the Corporation or one of its affiliates; (ii) the issue of Common Shares upon the exercise of existing warrants and the exercise of options issued under the Stock Option Plan; or (iii) the grant of options under the Stock Option Plan.

-30-

(f)

Right of First Refusal: The Agent shall have a right of first refusal to act as lead agent or underwriter or lead advisor with respect to any offering of securities by the Corporation, where an investment dealer or advisor is involved or proposes to be involved during the period ending six months after the Closing Date. Primary shall have a period of five days from the date of receipt of written notice from the Corporation of any such proposed financing, in which notice, the Corporation shall set forth in reasonable detail the terms of such proposed offering and the terms of compensation payable by the Corporation to Primary, to provide written notice to the Corporation that Primary intends to exercise its right of first refusal. If Primary does not give written notice within such five day period, it shall be deemed to have waived its right in respect of such transaction. Should Primary fail, or be deemed to fail, to give notice within five days of the receipt of the Corporation’s notice, the Corporation may then make other arrangements to engage another source to obtain financing or advice on terms no less favourable to the Corporation than as set out in the written notice for a period of 30 days thereafter. Primary’s waiver of its right in respect of any one or more transactions will not constitute a waiver of its right of first refusal in respect of any other transaction. If another source is not engaged in connection with a transaction where Primary waives or is deemed to have waived its right of first refusal within 30 days following the date on which the five day period set forth above expires, the transaction shall be deemed to be a new transaction requiring the Corporation to give written notice to Primary as set forth above.

10.	Termination

(a)

Right of Termination: The Agent shall be entitled, at its sole option, to terminate and cancel, without any liability on the part of the Agent, all of the obligations thereof under this Agreement and the obligations of any Person who has executed a Subscription Agreement, by notice in writing to that effect delivered to the Corporation prior to or at the Closing Time if:

(i)	the Agent is not satisfied in its sole discretion with the results of the due diligence review and investigation of the Corporation conducted by the Agent;

(ii)

there is in the sole opinion of the Agent a material change, change in a material fact, new material fact or a material fact or material change which has not been publicly disclosed, which might be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), capital, property, assets, operations, business, affairs, profitability or prospects of the Corporation or on the market price or value of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Corporation or on the marketability of the Offered Securities;

(iii)

there should develop, occur or come into effect any occurrence of national or international consequence, or any action, law or regulation, inquiry or other event, act of terrorism, action or occurrence of any nature

-31-

whatsoever which, in the sole opinion of the Agent, seriously affects, or would reasonably be expected to seriously affect, the financial markets, the condition (financial or otherwise), capital, property, assets, operations, business, affairs, profitability or prospects of the Corporation or the market price or value of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Corporation or the marketability of the Offered Securities;

(iv)	the state of the financial markets is such that in the sole opinion of the Agent it would be unprofitable to offer or continue to offer for sale the Offered Securities;

(v)

any order or ruling is issued, or any inquiry, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether formal or informal) is instituted or announced or threatened in relation to the Corporation or any of the directors, officers or principal shareholders of the Corporation (other than one based solely upon the activities or alleged activities of the Agent) or any law or regulation is promulgated or changed which prevents or restricts trading in or the distribution of the Offered Securities, the Common Shares or any other securities of the Corporation (other than one based solely upon the activities or alleged activities of the Agent) or any law or regulation is promulgated or changed which prevents or restricts trading in or the distribution of the Offered Securities, the Common Shares or any other securities of the Corporation (other than one based solely upon the activities or alleged activities of the Agent) or any law or regulation is promulgated or changed which prevents or restricts trading in or the distribution of the Offered Securities, the Common Shares or any other securities of the Corporation;

(vi)	any order to cease or suspend trading in any securities of the Corporation is made, threatened or announced by the Stock Exchange or any other securities regulatory authority; or

(vii)

the Corporation is in breach of any term, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any Subscription Agreement or any representation or warranty given by the Corporation in this Agreement or in any Subscription Agreement is or becomes untrue, false or misleading.

(b)

Rights on Termination: Any termination by the Agent pursuant to subsection 10(a) hereof shall be effected by notice in writing delivered by the Agent to the Corporation at the address thereof as set out in section 14 hereof. The right of the Agent to so terminate the obligations thereof under this Agreement is in addition to such other remedies as the Agent may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act of the Corporation in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a termination by the Agent pursuant to subsection 10(a) hereof there shall be no further liability on the part of the Agent to the Corporation or of the Corporation to the Agent except any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under either section 11 or 12 hereof.

-32-

11.	Indemnity and Contribution

(a)

Indemnity: The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each investment dealer which is a member of any agency or selling group formed by the Agent in connection with the Offering, each of the associates and affiliates of each of them and the respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners and advisors (collectively, the “Personnel”) of the Agent and each investment dealer which is a member of any agency group formed by the Agent in connection with the Offering and of each of the associates and affiliates of each of them (in this section 11 each an “Indemnified Person” and collectively the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against all losses (other than a loss of profits), claims, damages, payments, liabilities, costs, fines, penalties and expenses (including the amount paid in settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding and the fees and expenses of counsel on a solicitor and his own client basis incurred obtaining advice in respect of, or in defending or settling, any such claim, action, suit or proceeding), joint or several, of whatsoever nature or kind to which an Indemnified Person may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under statute or common law or otherwise caused or incurred by reason of or in any way arising, directly or indirectly, from, by virtue of, or related to, enforcing the provisions of this Agreement or any Subscription Agreement, or:

(i)	the Agent having acted as the Agent of the Corporation in respect of the Offering (other than by reason of the negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith of the Agent);

(ii)	any statement or information contained in the Information which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made containing or being alleged to contain a misrepresentation or being or being alleged to be untrue, false or misleading;

(iii)

the omission or alleged omission to state in the Information any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made;

(iv)

any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or threatened by any officer or official of the Stock Exchange, any securities commission or authority or any other competent authority, not based upon the activities or the alleged activities of the Agent or any member of any agency group formed by the Agent in connection with the Offering;

(v)	the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Corporation with any of the Securities Laws of the Offering Jurisdictions or any other applicable law in connection with the transactions contemplated herein;

-33-

(vi)	any negligence or wilful misconduct by the Corporation relating to or connected with the sale by the Corporation of the Offered Securities;

(vii)

any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (except any made by the Agent and for which the Agent did not rely on any information provided by the Corporation or anyone acting on its behalf) relating to the Offering or the Offered Securities, whether oral or written and whether made during and in connection with the Offering or in respect of the trading of the Offered Securities in the secondary market after the completion of the Offering, where such misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation may give or gives rise to any other liability under any statute in any jurisdiction which is in force on the date of this Agreement or which comes into force after that date;

(viii)

any failure or alleged failure to make timely disclosure of any material change by the Corporation, whether such failure or alleged failure occurs during the Offering or after the completion of the Offering, where such failure relates to the Offering or the Offered Securities and may give or gives rise to any liability under any statute in any jurisdiction which is in force on the date of this Agreement or which comes into force after that date; or

(ix)

the breach of, or default under, any term, condition, covenant or agreement of the Corporation made or contained herein or in any other document of the Corporation delivered pursuant hereto or made by the Corporation in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities or any representation or warranty of the Corporation made or contained herein or in any other document of the Corporation delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities being or being alleged to be untrue, false or misleading.

provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that:

(i)	the Indemnified Person or any Personnel has been negligent or dishonest or has committed any fraudulent act or engaged in wilful misconduct in the course of such performance or has breached any material provision of this Agreement; and

(ii)	the expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as to which indemnification is claimed were caused by the negligence, dishonesty, fraud, wilful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement.

If any matter or thing contemplated by this section 11 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be provided hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Corporation as soon as possible of the nature of such claim and the

-34-

Corporation shall be entitled, but not required, to assume the defence of any action, suit or proceeding brought to enforce such claim; provided, however, that the defence shall be through legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person and that no settlement may be made by the Corporation or the Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the other of them and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim unless it has consented in writing to such settlement.

Failure by the Agent and/or the Indemnified Person to so notify the Corporation as contemplated in this paragraph shall not relieve the Corporation of its obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in forfeiture by the Corporation or material impairment of its substantive rights or defences. The Corporation shall, throughout the course of any investigation as contemplated herein, provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Agent, will keep the Agent advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Agent all significant actions proposed.

The Corporation agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Corporation and/or any Indemnified Person by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, shall investigate the Corporation and/or any Indemnified Person and any Personnel shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by any Indemnified Person under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Agent and/or each investment dealer which is a member of the agency group formed by the Agent in respect of the Offering and/or each of their associates and affiliates, for time spent by its Personnel in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by its Personnel in connection therewith shall be paid by the Corporation as they occur on demand by the Agent.

(b)	Counsel: In any claim referred to in section 11 hereof, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain separate legal counsel to act on behalf of such Indemnified Person provided that the fees and disbursements of such separate legal counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Person unless:

(i)	the Corporation fails to assume the defence of such claim on behalf of the Indemnified Person within ten days of receiving notice of such claim;

(ii)	the Corporation and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such separate legal counsel; or

(iii)

the named parties to such claim (including any added, third or impleaded parties) include both the Corporation and the Indemnified Person and the

-35-

Indemnified Person has been advised by legal counsel that representation of both the Corporation and the Indemnified Person by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them;

in which event or events the fees and disbursements of such separate legal counsel shall be paid by the Corporation, subject as hereinafter provided. Where more than one Indemnified Person is entitled to retain separate counsel in the circumstances described in this subsection 11(b), all Indemnified Persons shall be represented by one separate legal counsel and the fees and disbursements of only one separate legal counsel for all Indemnified Persons shall be paid by the Corporation, unless:

(i)	the Corporation and the Indemnified Persons have mutually agreed to the retention of more than one legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons; or

(ii)	the Indemnified Persons have or any of them has been advised in writing by legal counsel that representation of all of the Indemnified Persons by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.

(c)

Waiver of Right: The Corporation hereby waives its right to recover contribution from the Agent and the other Indemnified Persons with respect to any liability of the Corporation by reason of or arising out of the indemnity provided by the Corporation in this section 11; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply in respect of the Agent for any liability directly caused or incurred by reason or arising out of any information or statements relating solely to, and provided by, the Agent or any failure by the Agent in connection with the Offering to provide to Purchasers any document which the Corporation is required to provide to the Purchasers and which the Corporation has provided or made available to the Agent to forward to the Purchasers, or any breach by the Agent, for any reason, of its covenants contained in subsection 3(c) hereof.

(d)	Contribution:

(i)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity contained in this section 11 is, for any reason of policy or otherwise, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by, in whole or in part, an Indemnified Person other than in accordance with the provisions of this section 11, the Corporation shall contribute to the aggregate losses (other than a loss of profit), claims, damages, payments, liabilities, costs, fines, penalties and expenses (including the amount paid in settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding and the fees and expenses of counsel on a solicitor and his own client basis incurred obtaining advice in respect of, or in defending or settling, any such claim, action, suit or proceeding) of the nature contemplated by such indemnity incurred or paid by the Indemnified Person in such proportion as is

-36-

appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other hand in connection with the Offering but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other hand in connection with the matters, things and actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, payments, liabilities, costs, fines, penalties or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion so that the Indemnified Person shall be responsible for the proportion represented by the percentage that the Agent’s commission per Offered Security bears to the Purchase Price and the Corporation shall be responsible for the balance, whether or not they are a party to the same or separate claims; provided, however, that no Person who has engaged in any dishonesty, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, negligence or wilful default shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who has not engaged in any dishonesty, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, negligence or wilful default and further provided that in no event shall the Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of the cash commission actually received from the Corporation under this Agreement and retained by the Agent. For purposes of this subsection 11(d), relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Corporation on the one hand or the Agent on the other hand and the relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such untrue statement or omission of the Corporation and the Indemnified Person.

(ii)	In the event that the Corporation is held to be entitled to contribution from the Agent under the provisions of any statute or law, the Corporation shall be limited to such contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of:

(A)	the portion of the amount of the loss or liability giving rise to such contribution for which the Agent is responsible as determined in accordance with this subsection 11(d); and

(B)	the amount of the Agent’s commission actually received from the Corporation under this Agreement and retained by the Agent.

(iii)

For purposes of this subsection 11(d), each party hereto shall give prompt notice to the other party hereto of any claim, action, suit or proceeding threatened or commenced in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this subsection 11(d) , provided that failure by a party to so notify the other party as contemplated in this paragraph shall not relieve the other party of its obligations of contribution hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in forfeiture by the other party or material impairment of its substantive rights or defences.

-37-

(e)

Held in Trust: To the extent that the indemnity contained in subsection 11(a) hereof is given in favour of a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Corporation hereby constitutes the Agent as trustee for such Person for such indemnity and the covenants given by Corporation to such Person in this Agreement. The Agent hereby accepts such trust and hold such indemnity and covenants for the benefit of such Persons. The benefit of such indemnity and covenants shall be held by the Agent in trust for the Persons in favour of whom such indemnities and covenants are given and may be enforced directly by such Persons.

12.

Expenses

The Corporation will pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Offering including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Agent and counsel to the Agent (to a maximum in respect of fees of counsel to the Agent of $25,000 (exclusive of taxes)), all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale and distribution of the Offered Securities and the expenses of the counsel, auditors and transfer agent of the Corporation and all filing fees. All fees and expenses shall be payable by the Corporation immediately upon receiving an invoice therefore from the Agent and shall be payable by the Corporation whether or not the Offering is completed.

13.	Conditions

All of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement to be satisfied by the Corporation prior to the Closing Time shall be construed as conditions and any breach or failure by the Corporation to comply with any of such terms and conditions shall entitle the Agent to terminate the obligations thereof to complete the Closing by written notice to that effect given by the Agent to the Corporation prior to the Closing Time. It is understood and agreed that the Agent may waive in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the rights thereof in respect of any other such term and condition or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance; provided that to be binding on the Agent any such waiver or extension must be in writing and signed by the Agent. If the Agent shall elect to terminate the obligations thereof to complete the Closing as aforesaid, whether the reason for such termination is within or beyond the control of the Corporation, the liability of the Corporation hereunder shall be limited to the indemnity referred to in section 11 hereof and the right to contribution referred to in section 11 hereof.
