(hereinafter called “LESSEE”). This Agreement is sometimes referred to herein as
“agreement” or “lease”.

RECITALS 

	A. 	
      OWNER owns an undivided one hundred percent (100%)
      interest in those certain patented lode mining claims situated in Lyon
      Country, Nevada, which are described in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and
      by this reference made a part hereof. Such mining claims are hereinafter
      sometimes referred to as the “property” or “properties”.

      LESSEE a lease of the Properties, all upon the terms and subject to the
      conditions herein stated.

	 	 
		
      Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants
      and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as
    follows:



1. Lease 

OWNER hereby leases to LESSEE the properties, together with all
improvements, hereditaments, appurtenances, mineral, surface and other rights

2. Term of Lease 

Subject to the conditions herein stated, the term of this lease
shall be from July 13, 2007, to and including December 31, 2022, with an
exclusive option to renew the lease for additional successive terms as provided
for herein. LESSEE may exercise its first option to renew the lease, by written
notice delivered to OWNER on or before November 15, 2022, whereupon the lease
shall be deemed renewed and the term thereof extended to December 31, 2023. If,
on November 1, 2023, the property is in commercial production, LESSEE may renew
the lease by written notice delivered to the OWNER prior to November 15, 2023,
for a period of one year and the lease shall thereby be extended to December 31,
2024. Similarly, if on November 1st in each succeeding year, the
property remains in commercial production, LESSEE shall be entitled to renew the
lease for additional one year terms, from year to year, in the manner
hereinbefore provided. For the express purposes hereof, the property shall be
considered to be in “commercial production” if, during the preceding 12 months,
either 15,000 ounces of gold have been produced from the property or there has
been production of metals and/or minerals during 12 months exceeding $125,000 in
respect of which OWNER’s royalties are to be calculated under paragraph 4.


LESSEE will, at its cost, use its best efforts to produce a
positive bankable feasibility study on the properties within twenty four (24)
months of the date of this agreement. In the event that the LESSEE does not
produce or receive a positive bankable feasibility study within the twenty four
(24) month period following the date of this agreement, then Owner may terminate
this agreement at its option, provided that such election to terminate must be
made within ninety (90) days following the expiry of the twenty four (24) month
period following the date of this agreement. LESSEE shall not be considered to
have produced a positive bankable feasibility study unless LESSEE provides
written notice to OWNER containing a copy of such study within 30 days of
LESSEE’s production or receipt of any positive bankable feasibility study with
respect to the properties. In the event that a decision is made to place the
properties into commercial mineral production, the LESSEE will use its best
efforts to arrange for all funding necessary to place the properties into
commercial mineral production. The LESSEE will use its best efforts to achieve
commercial production on the properties as early as possible following receipt
of a positive bankable feasibility study, 

 

2 
2416131.1 




provided (i) the LESSEE is able to achieve the required funding
for the project, and (ii) the price of gold remains above $450 per ounce. The
LESSEE shall be responsible for paying for all BLM, all state and county, and
all other fees necessary to maintain any mineral claims comprising the
properties in good standing in each year of the term of this agreement, provided
that this agreement shall not have been terminated by June 1 of any year.

The LESSEE shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for
all mining permits and licenses, and reclamation and all bonds or forms of
security with respect to the properties during the term of the lease, and the
LESSEE shall provide OWNER with photocopies of all such permits, licenses, bonds
and security within 30 days of issuance of such permits, licenses, bonds or
security.

3. Representations and Warranties 

OWNER represents and warrants as follows: 

(a)      Subject to the paramount
title of the United States, it holds a one hundred percent (100%) interest in
the patented mining claims listed in Exhibit “A”; 

(b)      Owner represents that Owner
owns the Property and all mineral rights within the boundary of said property
free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances
including financial encumbrances and non-financial encumbrances such as
easements, leases, options, licenses and rights of way. Owner further represents
that Owner is not aware of any disputes, legal actions, or environmental
citations affecting the Property or any claims against the owner with respect to
the Property or claiming or asserting any interest in the Property. Owner has
not granted to any person any Lease, license to use or option to purchase the
property. To the best of Owner’s knowledge, neither Owner, nor any Lessee,
Licensee or Optionee has caused any hazardous materials to be discharged or
released on the Property, nor is the Owner aware of any contamination of the
Property by any hazardous materials. 

(c)      Owner will deliver evidence
of Owner’s title to the Property and copies of all documents bearing upon
Owner's title, interest, or ownership in the Property. Lessee may then undertake
such further investigation of the title and status of the Property as Lessee
shall deem necessary. If that investigation should reveal defects in the title,
Lessee and Owner agree to work together at Lessee’s expense to proceed forthwith
to cure said title defects to the satisfaction of the Lessee.

 

3 
2416131.1 




         
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, Owner shall not have
any liability for breach of any of the representations, warranties, and/or
knowledge or awareness in this Section 3, it being agreed between Owner and
Lessee that Lessee agrees to pay for the cost of any title report, the cost of
curing any title defects, and for any contamination or hazardous materials on
the property.

4. Net Smelter Royalty, and Advance Payments 

Upon commencement of commercial mineral production and
continuing thereafter, the OWNER shall be entitled to be paid by the LESSEE a
net smelter royalty interest on the gold and other metals and/or minerals
produced from the properties, which shall be calculated and paid by LESSEE in
the manner set forth below: 

(a)      Net Smelter Royalty; Gold;
Metals and/or Minerals Other than Gold LESSEE 

shall pay OWNER a net smelter royalty, which shall be based on
  the following percentages of the gross proceeds received from any mint, smelter,
  refinery or other purchaser for the sale of gold produced from the property
  during the previous calendar quarter: 

	Percent 	When gold from the Property is sold for these
      amounts per troy ounce 
	 	 
	3 	$450 or less 
	 	 
	5 	$450.01 to $550 
	 	 
	6 	$550.01 to $700 
	 	 
	7 	$700.01 or more



LESSEE shall pay OWNER a net smelter royalty equal to 5% of the
gross proceeds received from any mint, smelter, refinery or other purchaser for
the sale of metals and/or minerals other than gold produced from the property
during the previous calendar quarter. 

All royalties shall be payable in U.S. dollars, and shall be
paid to OWNER within 45 days of the end of each productive calendar quarter, and
shall be accompanied by receipts of all sales during that previous quarter and a
substantive report on the activities by LESSEE and his permitted assigns
pertaining to the property. Payments due OWNER shall be mailed to OWNER’s above
address 15 days before due, unless otherwise instructed. 

(b) COMMINGLING OF ORES 

The determination of Net Smelter Royalty hereunder is based on
the premise that production will be developed solely on the properties. If other
properties are incorporated in a single 

 

4 
2416131.1 




mining project and metals, ores or concentrates pertaining to
each are not readily segregated on a practical or equitable basis, the
allocation of actual proceeds received and deductions there from shall be
negotiated between the parties whereby LESSEE agrees to promptly provide OWNER
with adequate reporting and accounting of any segregation and commingling of
ores. If the parties fail to agree on such allocation, shall be referred to
three (3) arbitrators to be appointed one (1) by LESSEE, one (1) by OWNER and
one (1) by mutual consent of the first two or failing mutual consent either
party may make application to the local district court to appoint a third
arbitrator. The arbitrators shall have reference first to this agreement, and
then, if necessary, to practices used in mining operations that are of similar
nature. The arbitrators shall be entitled to retain such independent mining
consultants as they consider necessary. The decision of the arbitrators shall be
final and binding on the parties hereto.

(c)      Advance Payments 

During the continuance of this agreement, and subject to the
provisions of this agreement, LESSEE shall make advance payments to OWNER in
accordance with the following schedule: 

	 	(i) 	
      $10,000 upon execution and delivery of this
    agreement.

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      $30,000 prior to each one year anniversary of this lease,
      including all option or renewal periods.

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      All payments and dollar amounts referred to herein and
      otherwise in this agreement shall be in U.S. funds. All advance payments
      under paragraph 5(c) clauses (i) and (ii) thereof, shall be entirely at
      LESSEE’s option and in the event any such payments are not timely made and
      the OWNER terminates this agreement as a consequence of such payments not
      being made, the LESSEE will have no further obligation to make any such
      payments to the OWNER. Such payments will be made in the manner set forth
      in Article 15. All advance payments made shall be credited against the
      royalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease, in the
      event the amount of the royalty payable to OWNER during any calendar year
      of this lease is less than the amount of the advance payments which would
      be payable to OWNER during that calendar year,
LESSEE



 

5 
2416131.1 





	 		
      shall promptly pay the OWNER the greater of the two
      amounts in consideration for the lease of the properties during such
      calendar year.

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      No minimum or advance payment shall be due in respect of
      any period if on or before the date such payment is due, this lease is
      terminated or surrendered.

	 	 	 
	 	(v) 	
      All payments by LESSEE to OWNER in this agreement shall
      be nonrefundable.



5. Operations 

During continuance of this lease, LESSEE shall have possession
of and free and unrestricted access to the properties and shall have the sole
right to explore, develop and mine the properties by means of underground or
surface operations. All work on the property by LESSEE shall be done in a good
and workmanlike manner, and in full compliance with all laws, regulations, and
all mining permits. LESSEE shall be responsible for all reclamation of the
properties, which shall be in strict accordance with all mining permits and
pertinent laws and regulations. Subject to the foregoing, LESSEE shall have the
right: 

	 	(i) 	
      to remove ores, waste, air, water and materials from the

	 	(iv) 	
      to remove and use timber from the properties, provided
      that such removal and use is for mining purposes and to the extent that
      such removal and use is not in contravention with any law or regulation of
      the State of Nevada or the United States of
America.
