    Promissory
Note

    


    $30,000.00 

    February
20, 2008

    


    FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Park-Premier Mining
Company, a Utah Corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of Robert
W. Dunlap, or his assigns (“Lender”), at 32391 Horseshoe Drive, Evergreen,
Colorado 80439, or at such other place as the holder or holders hereof may from
time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of
America,  the principal sum of Thirty Thousand and no/100 Dollars
($30,000.00) (“Principal Balance”), together with interest on the Principal
Balance outstanding from time to time from the date of this Note, to and
including the Maturity Date, at the rate hereinafter specified, on the unpaid
Principal Balance outstanding from time to time as disbursed in accordance with
the terms and conditions of a  Loan Agreement dated January 11, 2007
between Borrower and Lender (the  “Loan Agreement”).

    


    1.  Interest Rate.  The
Principal Balance shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum (the “Applicable Interest Rate”).

    


    2.  Payment.  The
outstanding Principal Balance and all unpaid, accrued interest thereon, shall be
due and payable on demand. If not sooner paid, the entire Principal Balance, and
all unpaid, accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on demand
by Lender (“Maturity Date”).  Unless otherwise agreed or required by
applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then
to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs. The
annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by
applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number
of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at
Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.

    


    3.  Late Payments.  If
any payment of the Principal Balance or interest on this Note or other sum due
hereunder or under the Other Loan Documents (defined below) is not paid within
fifteen (15) days of when due, the Applicable Interest Rate shall increase to
the greater of: (a) six percent (6%) in excess of the “prime rate” announced in
the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal under “Money Rates,” as it may
change from time to time, and (b) the then Applicable Interest Rate (the
“Default Rate”).

    


    4.  Pre Payment. Borrower agrees
that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the
date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether
voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by
law.  Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all
or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not,
unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation
to continue to make payments as required in this Promissory Note. Rather, early
payments will reduce the Principal Balance due.  Borrower agrees not
to send Lender payments marked “paid in full,” “without recourse,” or similar
language.  If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it
without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain
obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender.

    


    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.  Interest after Default. Upon
default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option,
may, if permitted under applicable law, increase the Applicable Interest Rate on
this Note to the Default Rate.  The Default Rate will not exceed the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  Notwithstanding any
provision contained herein to the contrary, or in any instrument securing or
referring to this Note, the total liability of the Borrower for payments in the
nature of interest hereunder or thereunder shall not exceed interest at the
maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of Utah, if any, and any amount
paid as interest in excess of said maximum rate shall not be deemed to be a
payment of interest, but shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal
Balance owing hereunder or, at Lender’s option, be refunded to the
Borrower.

    


    6.  Security.  This Note
may at Lender’s option be secured by a first Deed of Trust and Security
Agreement (herein called the First Deed of Trust) encumbering certain real
property identified in the First Deed of Trust.  This Note may also at
Lender’s option be secured by the following instruments, together with all other
documents (collectively referred to herein as the Other Loan Documents):
Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement,  UCC-1 Financing
Statement, Environmental Indemnity Agreement,   Loan Agreement,
Collateral Assignment of Agreements, Licenses and Permits, and any other
collateral documents deemed necessary or advisable by Lender in his sole
discretion, each in form satisfactory to Lender, duly executed by
Borrower.

    


    7.  Default. Each of the following
shall constitute an event of default (Event of Default) under this
Note:

    


    a.  Payment
Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when due under
this Note.

    


    b.  Other
Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any
other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note, the Loan
Agreement, or in any of the related documents, or to comply with or to perform
any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement or
promissory note between Lender and Borrower.

    


    c.  Default in Favor of Third
Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of
credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement,
in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of
Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to repay this Note or perform
Borrower’s obligations under this Note or any of the related
documents.

    


    d.  False
Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Note or the
related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or
at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time
thereafter.

    


    e.  Death or Insolvency.
The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of whether election to continue is
made), any member withdraws from Borrower, or any other termination of
Borrower’s existence as a going business or the death of any member, the
insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s
property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor

    f.  Creditor or Forfeiture
Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any
other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against
any collateral securing the loan.  This includes a garnishment of any
of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as
to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.

    


    g.  Events Affecting
Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to
any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes
incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. In the event of a death,
Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor’s
estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a
manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of
Default.

    


    h.  Adverse
Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s
financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance
of this Note is impaired.

    


    i.  Insecurity.  Lender
in good faith believes itself insecure.

Provisions.  If any default, other than a default in payment,
is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same
provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured
(and no event of default will have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving
written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default
within twenty (20) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than twenty (20) days,
immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.

    


    8.  Attorney’s Fees -
Expenses.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect
this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that
amount.  This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law,
Lender’s attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, whether or not there is a
lawsuit, including without limitation all attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for
bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay
or injunction), and appeals.  If not prohibited by applicable law,
Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided
by law.

    


    9.  Jury Waiver. BORROWER AND LENDER
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO
