                            AVALON GOLD CORPORATION

                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT




Agreement dated ____________, between Avalon Gold Corporation, a Nevada
Corporation (the "Company"), with its principal office at Suite 806 - 1288
Alberni Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, V6E 4N5  and ______________________,
residing at ____________________________________________________________
("Optionee").

1. Grant of Option . The Company hereby grants to Optionee effective as of
________________, ("Grant Date"), the right and option ("Option") to purchase
from the Company, for a price equal to the exercise price determined as
described below ("Exercise Price"), up to _______ shares of the Company's common
stock ("Shares"), as a qualified incentive stock option ("Option"), which Option
shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth below and is
being granted pursuant to the Avalon Gold Corporation Incentive Stock Option
Plan ("Plan").

2. Terms and Conditions of Option . The Option evidenced by this Agreement is
subject to the following terms and conditions, as well as the terms and
conditions of Section 3 hereof.

a. Exercise Price . The Exercise Price is $________ per Share, which is the fair
market value per Share on the Grant Date as determined in accordance with the
Plan.

b. Term of Option . The term of the Option over which the Option may be
exercised shall commence on the Grant Date and, subject to the provisions of
Section 3(b) below, shall terminate five years thereafter.

c. Exercisability of Option . As to the total number of Shares with respect to
which the Option is granted, the Option shall be exercisable [on and after the
first anniversary of the Grant Date] [as follows: (i) _____% of the Option in
the aggregate may be exercised on or after __________; (ii) _____% of the Option
in the aggregate may be exercised on or after __________; (iii) . .  .]

However, the right of Optionee to exercise the Option shall be deferred to the
extent that the Option otherwise would not be treated as a qualified incentive
stock option by reason of the $100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

3. Additional Terms and Conditions .

a. Exercise of Option; Payments for Shares . An Option may be exercised from
time to time with respect to all or any portion of the number of Shares with
respect to which the Option has become exercisable, in whole or in part, by
written notice to the Company at the Company's then principal office, to the
attention of the Administrative Committee for the Avalon Gold Corporation
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Committee"), substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, no Option may be exercised prior to the date on which the Plan is
approved by the Company's shareholders. Any notice of exercise of the Option
shall be accompanied by payment of the full Exercise Price for the Shares being
purchased by certified or bank check payable to the order of Avalon Gold
Corporation or, as may be allowed by the Committee, by delivery to the Company
of a number of Shares already owned by Optionee having a fair market value equal
to such Exercise Price. In addition, with the consent of the Committee, the
Company may cooperate with Optionee in arranging a "cashless exercise" of the
Option through a broker approved by the Committee. The Option shall not be
exercised for any fractional Shares and no fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered. The date of actual receipt by the Company of the notice of exercise
shall be treated as the date of exercise of the Option for the Shares being
purchased.

b. Termination of Option . If Optionee's employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary terminates, the Option shall continue to be exercisable, to the
extent it is exercisable on the date such employment terminated, for three (3)
months after such termination, but in no event after the date the Option
otherwise terminates. However, if Optionee's employment terminates because of
Optionee's death or disability, the Option shall continue to be exercisable, to
the extent it is exercisable on the date such employment terminated, for twelve
(12) months after such termination, but in no event after the date the Option
otherwise terminates.

c. Continued Employment . The Option granted hereunder shall confer no right on
Optionee to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or limit in
any respect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary (in the absence of a
specific agreement to the contrary) to terminate Optionee's employment at any
time.

d. Issuance of Shares; Registration; Withholding Taxes . As soon as practicable
after the exercise date of the Option, the Company shall cause to be issued and
delivered to Optionee, or for the Optionee's account, a certificate or
certificates for the Option Shares purchased. The Company may postpone the
issuance or delivery of the Shares until (i) the completion of registration or
other qualification of such Shares or transaction under any state or federal
law, rule or regulation, or any listing on any securities exchange, as the
Company shall determine to be necessary or desirable; (ii) the receipt by the
Company of such written representations or other documentation as the Company
deems necessary to establish compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations, including applicable federal and state securities laws and listing
requirements, if any; and (iii) the payment to the Company, upon its demand, of
any amount requested by the Company to satisfy any federal, state or other
governmental withholding tax requirements related to the exercise of the Option.
Optionee shall comply with any and all legal requirements relating to Optionee's
resale or other disposition of any Shares acquired under this Agreement. The
certificates representing the Shares acquired pursuant to the Option may bear
such legend as described in Section 6 and as counsel to the Company otherwise
deems appropriate to assure compliance with applicable law.

e. Nontransferability of Options . The Option and this Agreement shall not be
assignable or transferable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. During Optionee's lifetime, the Option and all rights
of Optionee under this Agreement may be exercised only by Optionee (or by his
guardian or legal representative). If the Option is exercised after Optionee's
death, the Committee may require evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
appointment and qualification of Optionee's personal representatives and their
authority and of the right of any heir or distributee to exercise the Option.

f. Option is Incentive Stock Option . The Option granted hereunder is intended
to qualify as an "incentive stock option", as that term is defined in Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


4. Changes in Capitalization; Reorganization .

a. Adjustments . The number of shares of Common Stock which may be subject to
options under the Plan, the number of Shares subject to the Option, and the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in
the number of issued shares of Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-
ups, recapitalizations or other capital adjustments. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) no adjustment shall be made, unless the Committee determines
otherwise, if the aggregate effect of all such increases and decreases occurring
in any fiscal year is to increase or decrease the number of issued shares by
less than five percent (5%); (ii) any right to purchase fractional shares
resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated; and (iii) the terms of
this Section 4(a) are subject to the terms of Section 4(b) below.

b. Corporate Transactions . Pursuant to Article 13 of the Program, in the event
of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) merger or consolidation
or reorganization of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, (iii) merger or consolidation or reorganization in which the
Company is the surviving corporation but after which the shareholders cease to
own their shares in the Company, (iv) the sale of substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or (v) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Company (herein referring
to (i) through (v) as "Corporate Transaction"), or (iv) the Board of Directors
of the Company proposes that the Company enter into a Corporate Transaction,
then the Committee may in its discretion take any or all of the following
actions: (i) by written notice to Optionee, provide that the Option shall be
terminated unless exercised within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as
the Committee shall determine its discretion) after the date of such notice; and
(ii) accelerate the dates upon which any or all outstanding Options granted to
Optionee shall be exercisable.

Whenever deemed appropriate by the Committee, any action referred to in this
Section 4(b) may be made conditional upon the consummation of the applicable
Corporate Transaction.

c. Committee Determination . Any adjustments or other action pursuant to this
Section 4 shall be made by the Committee, and the Committee's determination as
to what adjustments shall be made or actions taken, and the extent thereof,
shall be final and binding.

5. No Rights as Shareholder . Optionee shall acquire none of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares until a certificate for
the shares are issued to Optionee upon the exercise of the Option. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 4 above, no adjustments shall be made for
dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and
whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is
prior to the date such certificate is issued.

6. Legends . All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement
in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other
restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of
any applicable law):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1934, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED.

If, in the opinion of the Company and it counsel, any legend placed on a stock
certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required,
the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate
for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such
legend.

7. Optionee Bound by Plan . Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of
the Plan and acknowledges that Optionee shall be bound by its terms, regardless
of whether such terms have been set forth in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if there is an inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the
terms of this Agreement, Optionee shall be bound by the terms of the Plan.

8. Notices . Any notice or other communication made in connection with this
Agreement shall be deemed duly given when delivered in person or mailed by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to Optionee at
Optionee's address listed above or such other address of which Optionee shall
have advised the Company by similar notice, or to the Company at its then
principal office, to the attention of the Committee.

9. Miscellaneous . This Agreement and the Plan set forth the parties' final and
entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, may not be changed
or terminated orally and shall be governed by and shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America,
despite the fact that one or both parties may be or shall become a resident of a
different state or country. This Agreement shall bind and benefit Optionee, the
heirs, distributees and personal representative of Optionee, and the Company and
its successors and assigns.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement on the date
first above written.
