<PAGE>




                      Payments of stock for years 2002 and 2003 shall be
                      conditioned upon accumulation of sufficient and positive
                      drill data to indicate a possible resource and commence a
                      feasibility study. ICMC shall use its commercial best
                      efforts to both; (i) accumulate the necessary drill data
                      in order to make a determination on whether to commence a
                      feasibility study, and (ii) if the determination is made
                      to commence a feasibility study said study shall be
                      commenced before the 2002 year of this Agreement. The
                      commencement of a feasibility study shall be based upon
                      standard to the mining industry criteria provided by an
                      independent geological consultant acceptable to both
                      parties. In the event the exploration and development has
                      not reached that stage of development to commence a
                      feasibility study, the Agreement shall remain in full
                      force and effect but no further stock consideration shall
                      be paid until a feasibility study has been commenced.

                  c.  All other terms and provisions of the Agreement are hereby
                      ratified and affirmed.

         2)       Facsimile Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed
                  in counterpart facsimile signatures, which facsimile
                  signatures shall be relied upon as the signatures of FOX, EC
                  and ICMC.

         3)       Regulatory Approval. This First Amendment is specifically
                  subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities of the
                  province of British Columbia, Canada, and the Canadian Venture
                  Exchange.
