THIS IS SCHEDULE "B" to the Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement made as of the 25^th day of  June, 2011.

NET SMELTER RETURNS ROYALTY

1. For the purposes of this Agreement the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings, namely:

(a)        "Commencement of Commercial Production" means:

(i)         if a mill is located on the Property, the last day of a period of 40 consecutive days in which, for not less than 30 days, the mill processed ore from the Property at 60% of its rated concentrating capacity; or

(ii)        if a mill is not located on the Property, the last day of a period of 30 consecutive days during which ore has been shipped from the Property on a reasonably regular basis for the purpose of earning revenues,

 

but any period of time during which ore or concentrate is shipped from the Property for testing purposes, or during which milling operations are undertaken as initial tune-up, shall not be taken into account in determining the date of Commencement of Commercial Production;

(b)        "Net Smelter Returns" shall mean the gross proceeds received by the Purchaser in any year from the sale of Product from the mining operation on the Property, less successively:

(i)         the cost of transportation of such Product to a smelter or other place of treatment, and

(ii)        smelter and treatment charges;

(c)        "Ore" shall mean any material containing a mineral or minerals of commercial economic value mined from the Property; and

(d)       "Product" shall mean Ore mined from the Property and any concentrates or other materials or products derived therefrom, but if any such Ore, concentrates or other materials or products are further treated as part of the mining operation in respect of the Property, such Ore, concentrates or other materials or products shall not be considered to be "Product" until after they have been so treated.

 

2                    For the purposes of calculating the amount of Royalty payable to the Vendor hereunder, if, after the Commencement of Commercial Production, the Purchaser sells any Product to one of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and if the sale price of such Product is not negotiated on an arm's-length basis, the Purchaser shall for the purposes of calculating NetSmelter Returns only and notwithstanding the actual amount of such sale price, add to the proceeds from the sale of such Product an amount which would be sufficient to make such sale price represent a reasonable net sale price for such Product as if negotiated at arm's length and

 

3                    The Purchaser shall by notice inform the Vendor of the quantum of such reasonable net sale price and, if the Vendor does not object thereto, within 60 days after receipt of such notice, said quantum shall be final and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

 

4                    The Purchaser may remove reasonable quantities of Ore and rock from the Property for the purpose of bulk sampling and of testing, and there shall be no Royalty payable to the Vendor with respect thereto unless revenues are derived therefrom.

 

 

 

5                    The Purchaser shall have the right to commingle with ores from the Property, ore produced from other properties, provided that prior to such commingling, the Purchaser shall adopt and employ reasonable practices and procedures for weighing, determination of moisture content, sampling and assaying, as well as utilize reasonable accurate recovery factors in order to determine the amounts of products derived from, or attributable to Ore mined and produced fromthe Property. The Purchaser shall maintain accurate records of the results of such sampling, weighing and analysis as pertaining to ore mined and produced from the Property.

 

6                    Installments of the Royalty payable shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor immediately upon the receipt by the Purchaser of the payment from the smelter, refinery or other place of treatment of the proceeds of sale of the minerals, ore, concentrates or other product from the Property.

 

7                    Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the year in which Commencement of Commercial Production occurs, the accounts of the Purchaser relating to operations on the Property and the statement of operations, which shall include the statement of calculation of Royalty for the year last completed, shall be audited by the auditors of the Purchaser at its expense. The Vendor shall have 45 days after receipt of such statements to question the accuracy thereof in writing and, failing such objection, the statements shall be deemed to be correct and unimpeachable thereafter.

 

8                    If such audited financial statements disclose any overpayment of Royalty by the Purchaser during the fiscal year, the amount of the overpayment shall be deducted from future installments of Royalty payable.

 

9                    If such audited financial statements disclose any underpayment of Royalty by the Purchaser during the year, the amount thereof shall be paid to the Vendor forthwith after determination thereof.

 

10                The Purchaser agrees to maintain for each mining operation on the Property, up-to-date and complete records relating to the production and sale of minerals, ore, bullion and other product from the Property, including accounts, records, statements and returns relating to treatment and smelting arrangements of such product, and the Vendor or its agents shall have the right at reasonable times and intervals, including for a period of 12 months following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, to inspect such records, statements and returns and make copies thereof at its own expense for the purpose of verifying the amount of Royalty payments to be made by the Purchaser to the Vendor pursuant hereto.  The Vendor shall have the right to have such accounts audited by independent auditors at its own expense once each fiscal year.
