If within thirty (30) days MAX has not cured such default or, with respect to defaults not capable of being cured in thirty (30) days, begun and diligently pursued efforts to cure such default, Claremont may terminate this Agreement by written notice to MAX.  If MAX disputes that any default has occurred, the matter shall be determined by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction, and if the court finds MAX  is in default, MAX shall have a reasonable time (which in any case shall not be less than sixty (60) days from receipt of notice of the judgment or order) to cure such default, and if so cured, Claremont shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such default.  9. Force Majeure.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, MAXs Earn-In and Additional Earn-In Obligations shall be suspended and MAX shall not be deemed in default or liable for damages or other remedies while MAX is prevented from compliance with its obligations by force majeure.  If a force majeure event prevents MAXs performance of its Earn-In or Additional Earn-In Obligations, the time for MAXs performance of the same shall be extended until the force majeure event ceases.  For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, the elements, riots, acts or failure to act on the part of federal or state agencies or courts, inability to obtain necessary permits, inability to secure materials or to obtain access to the Property, strikes, lockouts, damage to, destruction or unavoidable shutdown of necessary facilities, or any other matters (whether or not similar to those above mentioned) beyond MAX's reasonable control; provided, however, that force majeure shall not include financial inability to perform, and provided further that settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of MAX.  MAX shall promptly notify Claremont of the occurrence of any force majeure event and of the cessation of the force majeure event.  10. Effect of Termination.Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in case of termination of this Agreement under its terms or for any cause other than as a consequence of MAX and Claremonts execution of the Mining Venture Agreement, MAX shall have no further liability or obligation, except for those which have accrued at the date of termination, those specified in Section 13 concerning indemnification, and those described in Section 14.  11.

Certain overlaps of Claremonts unpatented claims onto other Claremont unpatented mining claims and the Claremont patented claims.    5      Exhibit B Net Smelter Returns  "Net Smelter Returns" means the gross revenues from the sale of all Minerals and products of Minerals as stated in the refinery or smelter return or outturn statement, less the following costs, charges and expenses actually paid or incurred by MAX:  1.  Charges for treatment in the smelting and refining processes (including handling, sampling, assaying and representation costs; penalties and other processor deductions).  2.  Actual costs of transportation (including freight, insurance and security, costs incurred by reason of or in the course of such transportation) of concentrates, dore metal and products to the refinery or smelter, but not any charges or costs of transportation of Minerals or ores from any mine on the Property to an autoclave, concentrator, crusher, heap or other leach process, mill or plant.  Gross revenues shall be determined irrespective of any actual arrangements for the sale or other disposition of Minerals, concentrates, dore metal and products by MAX, specifically including but not limited to forward sales, futures trading or commodities options trading, and any other price hedging, price protection, and speculative arrangements that may involve the possible delivery of gold, silver or other metals produced from Minerals.  MAX's obligation to pay the royalty shall accrue and become due and payable upon the sale or shipment from the Property of unrefined metals, dore metal, concentrates or other Minerals or Minerals products or, if refined metals are produced, upon the outturn of refined metals meeting the requirements of the specified published price to MAX's account.  It is the intent that the royalty shall be based upon the value of the recoverable metal contained in ores mined from the Property and ultimately outturned by the smelter or refinery to which MAX or its assignees, contractors or purchasers deliver unrefined metals, dore metal, concentrates or other Minerals or Minerals products.  Net Smelter Returns royalties shall be determined on a quarterly basis.  MAX shall pay MAX each quarterly royalty payment on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the quarter in which the royalty payment obligation accrued.  MAX acknowledges that late payment by MAX to Claremont of royalty payments will cause Claremont to incur costs, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, if any amount due and payable by MAX is not received by Claremont within ten (10) days after such amount is due, then MAX shall pay to Claremont a late charge equal to Eight percent (8%) of such overdue amount.  Claremonts acceptance of such late charge shall not constitute a waiver of MAX default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Claremont from exercising any of Claremonts other rights and remedies.  If any amount payable by MAX remains delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, MAX shall pay to Claremont, in addition to the late payment, interest from and after the due date at the statutory interest rate.  Upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time, the Claremont shall have the right to audit and examine the MAXs accounts and records relating to the calculation of the Net Smelter Returns royalty payments.  If such audit determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to Claremont, such deficiency or excess shall be resolved by adjusting the next quarterly royalty payment due Claremont.  Claremont shall pay all costs of such audit unless a deficiency of three percent five percent (5%) or more of the royalty payment due for the calendar quarter in question is determined to exist.  All books and records used by MAX to calculate the royalty payments shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the mining industry.  MAX shall have the right to commingle Minerals and ores from the Property and materials from other properties, provided, that MAX first informs Claremont, in writing, of MAXs intention to commingle and delivers to Claremont a detailed written description of MAXs commingling plan.  Claremont shall have ninety (90) days during which to review and comment on MAXs proposed commingling plan.  In any and all events, all Minerals and ores shall be measured and sampled by MAX in accordance with sound mining and metallurgical practices for metal and mineral content before commingling of any such Minerals or ores with materials from any other property.  Representative samples of materials from the Property intended to be commingled shall be retained by MAX, and assays of these samples shall be made before commingling to determine the metal content of each ore.  Detailed records shall be kept by Claremont showing measurements, assays of metal content and gross metal content of the materials from the Property are commingled.  At Claremonts request MAX shall execute and deliver to the smelter or refinery instructions for the deposit of Claremonts share of the Net Smelter Returns, in cash or in kind, to an account established in Claremonts name   6
