Area, and decides to proceed with further evaluation thereof it may submit written request to such effect to the Ministry and put such deposit or deposits into the Feasibility Studies Period without affecting its rights and obligations under this
Agreement in respect of such other areas. Accordingly, the Exploration Period for each part of the Contract Area: 

  

	 	(i)	shall commence immediately following the end of the General Survey Period, and 

  

	 	(ii)	shall end 36 (thirty six) months thereafter, or at such earlier date in respect of a part of the Contract Area that with the approval of the Ministry may proceed to the Feasibility
Studies Period. 

 The Company shall spend not less than Four Hundred and Fifty United States Dollars (U.S. $450.00) per square
kilometre in field expenditure, for the exploration of the Contract Area during the Exploration Period. 
 Such expenses may include general
organisational overhead and administrative expenses directly connected with field activities under the Agreement. The Company shall submit to the Ministry within 2 (two) months from the expiration of the Exploration Period a report setting forth the
items and amounts of expenditures during the Exploration Period. The computation of such spending is based on the size of the Contract Area on the commencement of the Exploration Period. It is understood that as a consequence of the foregoing,
different parts of the Contract Area will become subject to different provisions of this Agreement and of the Mining Laws and Regulations due to the different periods of activities applicable to such parts of said area. 
  

 - 11 - 









	4.	Prior to the end of the period allowed for investigation the Company shall give notice to the Government stating whether or not the Company desires to proceed with feasibility
studies of the deposits found within the Contract Area. If the Company should give notice to the Government that it does not wish to proceed with feasibility studies, this Agreement shall thereupon terminate in the same manner and with the same

amount of Seventy-Five Thousand United States Dollars (US$75,000.00). These two amounts shall hereinafter collectively be called “the Security Deposit”. If the Company has already deposited Twenty-Five Thousand United States Dollars
(US$25,000.00) referred to above with a bank nominated by the Government, then no further Security Deposit shall be required if a SIPP is later granted. 

 The banker’s guarantee shall be released by the Government as to Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (US$50,000.00) after: 
  

	 	(i)	the expiration of the General Survey Period; 

  

	 	(ii)	the submission as specified in paragraph 1 of this Article of four consecutive quarterly progress reports to the Ministry or where the General Survey Period is completed in less
than one year, quarterly reports covering such lesser period, provided that where the General Survey Period has been agreed to have commenced prior to the date of signing this Agreement, report(s) covering this earlier period shall count towards
satisfaction of this obligation, and 

  

	 	(iii)	either: 

  

	 	(a)	satisfactory performance (according to the Minister’s judgement) for such General Survey Period, or 

  

	 	(b)	the expenditure by the Company in such General Survey Period of Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (US$50,000.00) on the Contract Area.

 The remaining fifty percent (50%) of this Security Deposit will be released on behalf of the Company
when a general geological map (with attendant report thereon) based on the Company’s geological observations, on the scale of 1:250,000 has been submitted to and approved by the Minister which approval the Minister shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay. In the event that the Company does not satisfy the above mentioned requirement within 6 (six) years after the date of the signing of this Agreement the balance of the said Security Deposit shall automatically be forwarded to the
Government Treasury and the Company shall have no further claim thereon. Interest on the Security Deposit shall accrue for the benefit of the Company.

provisions of this Agreement. Such data and reports will be treated as strictly confidential by the Company to the extent that the Government shall so request; reciprocally the Government will treat as strictly confidential such data and reports to
the extent that the Company shall so request provided, however, that data belonging to the public domain (because of having been published in generally accessible literature or of their mainly scientific rather than commercial value, such as
geological and geophysical data) and data which has been published pursuant to laws and regulations of Indonesia or of a foreign country in which a shareholder may be domiciled (such as the yearly report of public bodies or companies) shall not be
subject to the foregoing restrictions; provided further that the term “data” as used in this paragraph shall include (without limitations) any and all documents, maps, plans, worksheets and other technical data and information, as well as
data and information concerning financial and commercial matters. 

 In respect of data relating solely to areas relinquished by
the Company from the Contract Area pursuant to Article 4, the foregoing restrictions shall cease to apply as from the date of relinquishment of such areas. In addition, where this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article 20 or Article 22,

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, exclusive know-how of the Company, its contractors or
Affiliates contained in data or reports submitted by the Company to the Ministry or the Government pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and which shall have been identified as such by the Company, shall only be used by the Government in
relation to the administration of this Agreement and shall not be disclosed by the Government to third parties without the prior written consent of the Company. Such exclusive know-how, as long as it remains exclusive know-how of the Company, its
contractors or Affiliates as the case may be, remains the sole property of the Company, its contractors or Affiliates as the case may be.

 ARTICLE 8 
 FEASIBILITY STUDIES PERIOD 
  

	1.	The Feasibility Studies Period for any part of the Contract Area shall commence on the date the Company submits a written application hereinabove provided to the Ministry in
relation to its decision to proceed with the evaluation and shall end upon the commencement of the Construction Period therefor as hereinafter provided. 

  

	2.	As soon as the Company has submitted written application, the Company shall commence studies to determine the feasibility of commercially developing the deposit or deposits in
question. The Company will be allowed a period of 12 (twelve) months to complete such studies and to select and delineate the area in which the Company may commence operation. Such area shall constitute the “Mining Area”, provided that the
Minister may, subject to paragraph 2 of Article 16, on grounds of national security or that the conduct of mining in the proposed Mining Area will disproportionately and unreasonably damage the surrounding environment or limit its further
development potential or significantly disrupt the sociopolitical stability in the region, object to the area proposed as the Mining Area within three (3) months of the Company’s designation of such Area. The Government and the Company
agree to consult in good faith to overcome any such objections. If after a period of three (3) months from the date of notification of such objection by the Government there has been no resolution of the matter then either Party may proceed to
resolve the matter in accordance with Article 21 paragraph 1. After the completion of such feasibility studies, the Company shall submit a Feasibility Study Report in the form set out in Annex “E”, which shall contain calculations and
reasons for the technical and economical feasibility of the Enterprise supported by data, as specified in Annex “E”, calculations, drawings, maps and relevant information leading toward the decision whether or not to proceed with the
Enterprise. The feasibility report shall also contain information concerning matters of interest to the Government during the whole life of the Enterprise. The Government may upon request by the Company, grant an extension of twelve (12) months
for the Feasibility Studies Period if the Company considers that the data required and other necessary matters are not sufficiently available to come to a final decision or the Minister raises objections to the proposed Mining Area as set out above.


  

	3.	 At any time during the Feasibility Studies Period the Company may submit a written application to the Minister that it desires to proceed with the construction of a
mine and facilities to be used by the Company in its operation. The Minister shall be deemed to have approved any such application if it does not, in writing, object to same within three (3) months of receipt of such application. Upon approval
of that application the Company shall commence and with reasonable diligence execute to completion the design of the facilities and subject to completion of the design of the facilities shall supply the same for the approval of the Minister,
together with an estimate of the cost of such facilities and a time schedule for the construction thereof which time schedule shall, to the extent economically and practically feasible, provide for completing the construction of such facilities
within thirty

six (36) months after the approval of the plans and designs and time schedule for construction of such facilities. Within three (3) months after
submission the Minister shall notify the Company of his approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) or disapproval of the mining plan, design and time schedule for construction, subject to paragraph 2 of Article 16. In the event of
disapproval, the Minister shall notify the Company of the cause for disapproval and the Government and the Company shall consult in a good faith attempt to remove the cause for such disapproval. If after a period of three (3) months from the
notification of such disapproval there has been no resolution of the matter then either party may proceed to resolve the matter in accordance with Article 21 paragraph 1. 


  

	4.	The Feasibility Study Report as described in Annex “E” shall include physical impact studies into the effects of the operation of the Enterprise on the Environment and
shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of reference set out in Article 26. Such studies may be carried out in consultation with appropriately qualified independent consultants retained by the Company and approved by the Government which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

  

	5.	The Company shall collaborate with and keep the Government informed by regular reports as to the progress and results of and costs incurred in respect of the investigations and
studies and shall as and when the Government may reasonably require furnish the Government with the investigations and studies referred to in paragraph 4 above and with copies of all relevant findings made and reports prepared by the Company.


  

	6.	The Company shall at the completion of all the investigations and studies submit to the Government a final report stating the results of and the cost incurred in respect of the
investigations and studies and the Company’s analysis of and its conclusions and projections in respect of those results, and such other information relating to the Enterprise or the Mining Area which is in the possession of the Company and
which the Government may reasonably request. 

  

	7.	Subject always to the provisions of paragraph 6 of Article 7, all reports and information supplied to the Government under this Article shall be treated as confidential, with the
exception of those required for use by the Government for the national interest, provided that (and subject as aforesaid) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 22 hereof the reports and information shall become the property of the
Government and may be used by the Government in such manner as it thinks fit.

 ARTICLE 9 
 CONSTRUCTION PERIOD 
  

	1.	As soon as approval is received from the Minister with respect to the design and time schedule provided for in paragraph 3 of Article 8, the Company shall commence construction of
the facilities and execute the same to completion in accordance with the time schedule referred to in the said paragraph 3. If this time schedule proves unworkable the Company may seek the Minister’s approval for a revised time schedule.


  

	2.	The Company may make use of any facilities belonging to other companies whether or not affiliated with the Company and in the event of the Company making use of any such facilities
as aforesaid it shall come to such arrangement as it shall think fit regarding payment, ownership or otherwise of such facilities, provided, however, that the Minister may make known to the Company objections based on grounds of national security,
public interest or foreign policy of the Government.

 ARTICLE 11 
 MARKETING 
  

	1.	The Company shall have the right to export its products obtained from the operations under this Agreement. Without in any way prejudicing the Company’s basic right to export
its products such export will be subject to the provisions of the export laws and regulations of Indonesia. The Company will endeavour at all times to fulfill the requirements of the domestic market for its products provided that to do so will not
jeopardise the Company in its ability to observe the provisions of committed sales agreements for its products. 

  

	2.	The Company shall sell the products in accordance with generally accepted international business practices, at the best prices and on the best terms compatible with world market
conditions and conditions obtainable in the circumstances then prevailing, provided that the Government shall have the right to prohibit the sale or export of minerals or materials derived therefrom as may be contrary to the international
obligations of the Government or on the basis of external political considerations affecting the national interest of Indonesia. In the event of such prohibition (other than a quota requirement imposed pursuant to an International Commodity
Marketing Agreement), if the Company is unable to find alternative markets on equivalent terms and conditions, the Government shall purchase the Minerals, at the then prevailing world market price. 

  

	3.	The Company shall not enter into any contract for sale of its products being produced for a term in excess of three (3) years without the prior approval of the Government which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  

	4.	In any event sales commitments with Affiliates shall be made only at prices based on or equivalent to arm’s length sales and in accordance with such terms and conditions at
which such agreements would be made if the parties had not been affiliated, with due allowance for normal selling discounts or commissions. Such discounts or commissions allowed the Affiliates must be no greater than the prevailing rate so that such
discounts or commissions will not reduce the net proceeds of sales to the Company below those which it would have received if the parties had not been affiliated. No selling discounts or commissions shall be allowed an Affiliate in respect of sale
for consumption by it. The Company shall submit to the Government evidence of the correctness of the figures used in computing the above prices, discounts and commissions, and a copy of the sales contract. 

  

 - 23 - 









	5.	If the Government believes that any figures used in computing the revenues are not in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4 of this Article, the Government may within 12
(twelve) months after the calendar quarter in which such products were exported, so advise the Company in writing. The Company shall submit evidence of the correctness of the figures within 45 (forty-five) days after receipt of such advice. Within
45 (forty-five) days after receipt of such evidence, the Government may give notice to the Company in writing that it is still not satisfied with the correctness of the figures and within 10 (ten) days after receipt of such notice by the Company a
Committee, consisting of one representative of and appointed by the Government and one representative of and appointed by the Company, shall be constituted to review the issue. The Committee shall meet as soon as convenient at a mutually agreeable
place in Indonesia and if the members of the Committee do not reach agreement within twenty (20) days after their appointment or such longer period as the Government and the Company mutually agree, the representatives shall appoint a third
member of the Committee, who shall be a person of international standing in jurisprudence and if possible shall be familiar with the international mineral industry. The Committee after reviewing all the evidence, shall determine whether the figures
used by the Company or any other figures are in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Article. The decision of two members of the Committee shall be binding upon the Parties. Failure of two representatives to appoint a third member of the Committee
shall require the issue to be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Article 21 of this Agreement. Within ninety (90) days after the issue has been finally decided, pursuant to this paragraph, appropriate retroactive adjustment shall be made in
conformity with the Committee’s decision. The Company and the Government each shall pay the expenses of its own member on the Committee and one half of all other expenses of the Committee’s proceedings. 

  

	6.	In the event that the Company produces a concentrate containing gold, silver or platinum which are easily separable, the Company shall, if it is economically feasible, make maximum
efforts to separate the gold, silver and platinum. 

  

	7.	 In the event of a sale of gold, silver or platinum to an Affiliate or to the domestic market or to the Government’s designated agency it is understood that,
unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the price of gold produced by the Company shall be determined on the day of sale at not less than the 15.00 hours gold fixing as agreed by members of the London Gold Market and as quoted for that day in the
“Metal Bulletin”, that the price of silver shall be determined on the day of sale at not less than the silver fixing as agreed by members of the London Silver Market and as quoted for that day in the “Metal Bulletin”, and that
the price of platinum shall be determined at not less than the Johnson Matthey unfabricated daily world producers’ price on the day of sale as quoted for that day in “Metals Week” less in each case selling expenses and charges as
defined in Annex “H”. In the event that the London Gold Market or the London Silver Market ceases to be a suitable reference for pricing, the Government and the Company will consult together to 



  

 - 24 - 









	 	 
agree on an acceptable method of determining such prices. The day of sale shall be construed as the day on which legal title to the products is transferred
by the Company to the purchaser. Unless otherwise agreed this shall be the day of delivery. Payment shall be made to the Company in U.S. Dollars within two (2) days of the day of sale. 


  

	8.	If at any stage in the course of its marketing arrangement, the Company refines, or takes delivery of gold or silver refined from its products, then such gold and silver will be in
a form and bear marks which will make it acceptable in the international precious metals markets. For gold, this means the London Gold Market; for silver this means the London Silver Market.

	5.	In view of the fact that goods and services will have to be imported from abroad and that various parts of the Contract Area are remote, for all practical purposes from presently
existing sea ports and other ports of entry for customs purposes, the Government will consider establishing such sea port or port of entry and the requisite customs office thereat as the Company shall reasonably request from time to time; in
consideration thereof, each such customs office so established at the request of the Company shall be furnished and maintained by the Company at its expense and according to the existing rules and regulations. 

  

	6.	During the period the Company is allowed to import free from duties the Company shall submit to the Government not later than November 15 of each year, except where the
prevailing regulations provide for other procedures, a list of equipment and material to be imported during the next calendar year to enable the Government to review and to approve the various items to be imported for the Enterprise. Notwithstanding
the foregoing the Company may request (stating the cause) the Government to amend the list of equipment and material as required during the year.

amounts expended by the Company for General Survey, Exploration, feasibility study, development and other pre-production costs, capital expenditure and working capital adjusted by an appropriate annual amount necessary to recognize the effect of

	 	(a)	accumulated depreciation and amortization on the basis of the useful or economic life of the different investment categories listed above, adjusted by an appropriate annual amount
necessary to recognize the effect of inflation computed from the Export Price Index of Manufactured Goods reported in the United Nations Bulletin of Statistics, and 

  

	 	(b)	liabilities as of the end of the year. 

 The economic lives
for the different investment categories for use in the determination of current replacement cost shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the international mining industry. The inflation adjustment is to be applied to
the investment listed above recognizing as working capital subject to inflation adjustment only that portion represented by tangible equipment and semi finished or finished goods, including but not limited to operating materials and supplies and
spare parts and saleable mineral and/or metal inventories. The price per share of shares offered shall be that price 

  

 - 54 - 








 
determined by dividing the current replacement cost by the total number of shares of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the offer. 
 The determination of current replacement cost shall be the subject of agreement between the Foreign Investor(s) and the Government. Failing such
agreement, current replacement cost shall be determined by independent valuers to be appointed as provided for below; 
 or 
  

	 	(ii)	The price at which shares will be accepted for listing on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and offered for sale. 

 The Government and the Company shall consult with representatives of the Jakarta Stock Exchange and other financial experts to determine the price at

	 	(iii)	The value of the shares (in the proportion that they bear to the issued share capital of the Company) based upon a fair valuation of the Company as a going concern to be agreed upon
between the Government and the Foreign Investor(s). 

 The Company and the Government agree that the value of the shares based
upon a fair valuation of the Company as a going concern is to be determined by assessment of future earnings, dividend projections and judgement of an appropriate rate of return that recognizes the risk associated with future earnings and dividends.

 In the event that agreement cannot be reached on the current replacement cost of the Company’s investment calculated in the manner set
out above or the fair valuation of the Company as a going concern calculated in the manner set out above, then the current replacement cost of the Company’s investment or the fair valuation of the Company as a going concern will be determined
by independent valuers on the basis that the Foreign Investor(s) is/are a willing but not anxious seller and as provided below using the valuation principles set forth above and in case of a valuation under (ii) or (iii) above, giving due
consideration to the project investment risk. 
 Such independent valuers shall consist of one representative of and appointed by the
Government and one representative of and appointed by the Foreign Investor(s). The independent valuers shall meet as soon as convenient at a mutually agreeable place in Indonesia and if the members of the independent valuers do not reach agreement
within thirty (30) days after their appointment or such longer period as the Government and the Foreign Investor(s) may mutually agree the representatives shall appoint a third member of the independent valuers, who shall be a representative of
an 

  

 - 55 - 








 
internationally recognized Merchant Bank who is familiar with the international mining industry and not a national of the Republic of Indonesia or United
States of America. The decision of two members of the independent valuers shall then be binding upon the Parties. Failure of the two representatives to appoint a third member of the independent valuers within forty (40) days of their
appointment shall require the issues to be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Article 21. The Foreign 
 Investor(s) and the Government
shall each pay the expense of its own representative and one half of all other expenses of the independent valuers proceedings. 
  

	7.	The Company and the Government agree that, in view of the Company undertaking this obligation to offer for sale shares of the Company, the underwriting fee will be borne by the
Company while the listing and/or brokerage commissions and fees, if any, incurred in any ensuing listing and/or sale of such shares shall be reasonable and not substantially reduce the proceeds of the sale and shall be shared equally by buyer and
seller. 

  

	8.	Shares purchased by the Indonesian Participant shall be paid for in Rupiahs (convertible at the prevailing exchange rate into United States Dollars applicable at the date of the
payment referred below) or in United States Dollars. The proceeds of sale may be transferred abroad in accordance with Article 15, paragraph 2. Such payment shall be made within three (3) months after the date of acceptance of the offer
referred to in Article 24, paragraph 5 hereinabove. 

 Upon receipt of payment, the Company shall cause prompt delivery of the
shares to the Indonesian Participant. In the case of a sale of shares, as distinct from an issue, the Company will be receiving such payment as agent for the Foreign Investor(s) selling those shares. The Government will ensure that the Company can
remit the amount of such payment to the relevant Foreign Investor(s) exempted from Indonesian taxes and the Government hereby indemnifies the Company in respect of any such taxes. 
  

	9.	In the event of an increase in the share capital of the Company, the Indonesian shareholders shall be offered new shares in proportion to their existing shareholding so as to give
them the opportunity to maintain their existing proportionate shareholding in the Company. 

  

	10.	In no event shall shares held by Indonesians be treated less favourably than those held by any others. 

  

	11.	The Government shall be entitled to appoint directors of the Company in proportion to the Government shareholding in the Company. 

  

	12.	All or any of the rights of the Government under this Article (including the right to take up shares in the Company and the right to appoint directors) may be exercised with the
consent of the Government by a nominee or nominees of the Government being a statutory body or other instrumentality of the Government either solely or jointly with the Government and in accordance with the terms in this Article, but so that the
total entitlement of the Government and its nominee or nominees either solely or jointly shall not exceed that which the Government would have been allowed under this Article if it had exercised those rights solely. 

  

 - 56 - 








 For the purpose of determining the number of directors which the Government is entitled to appoint under
paragraph 11, any shareholding of a nominee of the Government shall be deemed to be a shareholding of the Government.

	8.	If the Company’s use of the existing public roads results in or is likely to result in significant damage or deterioration, the Company shall pay to the Government or other
authority having control over the road the cost (or an equitable proportion thereof having regard to the use of such road by others) of preventing or making good such damages or deterioration or of upgrading to a standard necessary having regard to
