The purpose of this Separation Agreement and Release (the “Agreement”) is to
confirm the terms of your separation from employment with Ensurge, Inc. (the
“Company”) and any of its affiliates, divisions, predecessors, successors or
assigns (referred to collectively with the Company as the “Companies”).

1.             You acknowledge that (a) you were advised by the Company to
consult with an attorney of your choosing before you signed this Agreement; and
(b) you were afforded sufficient opportunity to so consult with an attorney.

2.             You also acknowledge that you were advised by the Company, and
you understood, that (a) as a sophisticated investor, you had at least five  (5)
days from your receipt of this Agreement to consider and execute it; and (b) you
can revoke this Agreement by delivering written notice to the Company to the
attention of Mr. Jeff Hanks, Chief Financial Officer, Ensurge, Inc., 4766 S.
Holladay Blvd., Salt Lake City, UT  84117 within a period (the “Revocation
Period”) of seven (7) days following the day on which you sign this Agreement,
and this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until after the
Revocation Period has expired.

3.             You also acknowledge that you and the Company agreed that your
employment with the Companies and your membership on the Board of Directors of
the Company, and on any Committee thereof, ended as of the close of business on
June 29, 2010 (the “Termination Date”).  You also acknowledge and agree that if
the Company receives any inquiries concerning your employment, the Company will
state that you left the Company to pursue other interests.

4.             As consideration for your performance of services through the
Termination Date, the Company paid you your base salary and provided related
fringe benefits through the Termination Date.  You acknowledge that you are not
and will not be entitled to any other compensation for your services.  However,
the Company has agreed under Paragraph 7 below to provide you with additional
compensation for the covenants and releases made and given by you under
Paragraphs 5 and 6 below.

5.             For and in consideration of the Company’s agreement to provide
the additional compensation and release pursuant to Paragraph 7 below, you agree
and acknowledge as follows:

(a)           The term “Person” shall mean any individual and any entity of any
kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, any partnership and
any corporation.  The term “Company Services” shall mean any services offered or
performed by the Company, any reasonably similar services and any services that
can essentially be substituted for the foregoing Company Services.

(b)           For a period of six (6) months following the Termination Date, you
shall not, on behalf of yourself or any other Person, directly or indirectly
solicit or market any Company Services from or to the Moacyr Campos tenements
(the Tuiuiu project) or the Sergio Franca tenements (the Ouro Fino and Oregon
projects) located near the town of Pocone in Mato Grosso State, Brazil.

(c)           For a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date,
you shall not directly or indirectly solicit or induce any individual employed
with any of the Companies at that time or at any time during the twelve (12)
months day period immediately preceding the Termination Date to leave his or her
employment or to cease any other contractual arrangement with the Company, or to
accept employment with you or with any Person with whom you are or may be at any
time employed or act as a director, officer or consultant, or have a financial
interest therein with any competing enterprise with the Company. The Company
acknowledges that Jeff Hanks is the acting CFO of in Resources Holdings, Inc.
and that Cristiano Ruy is actively involved with Pioneer Brasil Group, both of
which are Companies controlled by Michael Campbell. Because of this, Michael
Campbell will not directly involve these persons in any activities in a similar
competing enterprise with the Company during the twelve (12) month  period
unless Jeff Hanks or Cristiano Ruy terminate their activities with the Company
voluntarily prior to the twelve (12) months following the termination date of
this agreement.

(d)           You agree and warrant that you have returned, or promptly after
the Termination Date will return, to the Company all Company property and
tangible matter. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, you represent and
warrant that you have returned, or promptly after the Termination Date will
return, all equipment, furniture, documents and other property of the Company
including, without limitation, all originals and copies of any software, disks,
security devices, data, computer hardware, reports, files, correspondence,
plans, planning documents.

(e)           You acknowledge that the Company and you believe that the
restrictions contained in this Paragraph 5 are reasonable as to the scope  and
duration of the covenants provided by you in this Paragraph 5 and are essential
to protect the Companies’ legitimate business interests.  Enforcement of these
provisions should not cause you any hardship, and, because of your background
and experience, will not preclude you from becoming gainfully employed.

(f)           You agree to reasonably cooperate with the Companies in connection
with any dispute, claim, litigation or investigation by any person or entity
against or involving the Companies or any of their officers, employees, agents
or representatives.  As part of this agreement to reasonably cooperate, you
agree to speak and/or meet with the Companies and/or their representatives or
counsel at and for reasonable times upon reasonable notice, without the need for
any legal proceeding or compulsory process. You agree also to make yourself
available for reasonable times and upon reasonable notice for such things as
interviews, depositions and trials.  The Company agrees to reimburse you for
reasonable expenses incurred with respect to such cooperation.
