1.01.  Star  Resources  Corp.  ("Star")  hereby  grants to Dennis Moore and Alan
     Carter (the "Royalty Holders") participation in the future revenues derived
     from  sales  of gold (in whatever form and whether or not incorporated into
     other  products), mined from the Tocantinzinho Project (the "Royalty"). The
     Royalty  shall be payable, in United States dollars by Star to Dennis Moore
     on behalf of the Royalty Holders and their heirs, successors and assigns on

     The  Royalty  for  each  fiscal quarter with respect to sales of gold mined
     from  the  Tocantinzinho  Project  will  be  calculated  as  follows:

     (XG)  MULTIPLIED  BY  (Z%)

          XG  =  The  number  of  ounces of gold sold by Star for which Star has
          received  payment  in  full  during  the  immediately preceding fiscal
          quarter  multiplied  by the Average Gold Price for such fiscal quarter

          Z  =  2.5,  if  the Average Gold Price for such fiscal quarter is less
          than  $400  per  ounce;

          2.75, if the Average Gold Price for such fiscal quarter is equal to or
          greater  than  $400  and  less  than  $450  per  ounce;

          3.0,  if the Average Gold Price for such fiscal quarter is equal to or
          greater  than  $450  per  ounce  and  less  than  $500  per  ounce; or

          3.5,  if the Average Gold Price for such fiscal quarter is equal to or
          greater  than  $500  per  ounce.

     Notwithstanding  any  provision  to  the contrary in this Section 1.01, the
     Parties  hereby  agree  and  acknowledge that (a) Star shall not, by reason
     only  of this Section 1.01, be obligated to develop or exploit, or to cause
     the development or exploitation of, the Tocantinzinho Project, or otherwise
     to cause Star to sell, at any particular time or in any particular amounts,
     gold  mined  from  the  Tocantinzinho  Project.

1.02.  Default  Interest. Star hereby agrees that any amounts due to the Royalty
     Holders  pursuant to Section 1.01 and not paid within 60 days following the
     end of such fiscal quarter shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus 3.0%
     per  annum.
