* * * * *




1.

For the purposes of this Option Agreement, "net smelter returns" means the amount paid or credited by a smelter or other buyer in respect of the sale of ore, ore concentrates, minerals and metals from the Property after deduction of the sum of:

(a)

smelter and/or refining charges;

(b)

government imposed production and value-added taxes (excluding taxes on income); 

(c)

ore treatment charges, penalties and any and all charges made by the purchaser of ore or concentrates; and

(d)

all transportation and insurance costs which may be incurred in connection with the transportation of ore, metals, minerals or concentrates.

2.

Payment of the NSR Royalty shall be made quarterly within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the party paying the NSR Royalty (the "Payor") in which net smelter returns are received and shall be accompanied by unaudited financial statements pertaining to the operations carried out on the Property.  If requested by the party receiving the NSR Royalty (the "Payee") within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Payor, the Payee or its representative duly authorized in writing, at its expense, shall have the right to audit the books and records of the Payor related to net smelter returns to determine the accuracy of the payments made by the Payor to the Payee, but shall not have access to any other books or records of the Payor.  The audit shall be conducted by an independent chartered or certified public accountant of recognized standing mutually acceptable to the Payor and the Payee.  The Payor shall have the right to condition access to its books and records on execution of a written agreement by the auditor that all information will be held in confidence and used solely for the purposes of audit and resolution of any disputes related to the NSR Royalty.  A copy of the Payee's report shall be delivered to the Payor upon completion, and any discrepancy between the amount actually paid by the Payor and the amount which should have been paid according to the Payee's report shall be paid forthwith, by one party to the other.  In the event that the said discrepancy is to the detriment of the Payee and exceeds 5% of the amount actually paid by the Payor, then the Payor shall pay the entire cost of the audit.
