THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR, AT THE
OPTION OF THE COMPANY, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION TO SUCH ACT.



                          COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

                                JORE CORPORATION


         THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, ___________________________,
or registered assigns, is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time or from time to time at or prior
to 11:59 p.m., Pacific time, on July 29, 2002 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"), to
acquire from Jore Corporation, a Montana corporation (the "COMPANY"),
__________________(____________) fully paid and nonassessable shares of common
stock, or its equivalent, however designated, of the Company (the "WARRANT
SHARES"), for $9.10 per share (the "EXERCISE PRICE"). The number of Warrant
Shares, type of security and Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as
provided herein.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exercisable by the registered holder
hereof, at any time and from time to time at or prior to the Expiration Date by
the surrender of this Warrant and delivery of a Notice of Exercise/Conversion,
the form of which is attached hereto as ANNEX A, duly executed to the principal
offices of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice in writing to the registered holder hereof), and upon
payment of the Exercise Price for the shares thereby purchased (by check payable
to the order of the Company or by wire transfer the account of the Company);
whereupon the Company shall issue to the holder of this Warrant the number of
Warrant Shares so purchased and shall deliver a stock certificate in proper form
representing such number of Warrant Shares.

2. CONVERSION OF WARRANT. The registered holder hereof shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to require the Company to convert this Warrant, in whole or
in part, at any time and from time to time at or prior to the Expiration Date,
by the surrender of this Warrant and delivery of a Notice of Exercise/Conversion
duly executed to the principal offices of the Company (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered
holder hereof), into Warrant Shares as provided in this Section 2. Upon exercise
of this conversion right (and without payment by the holder of the Exercise
Price), the holder hereof shall be entitled to receive that number of Warrant
Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:

                      Warrant Shares Issuable to Holder = [ (A - B)x C ] +A

 where:

                  A =      the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one
                           Warrant Share on the date of conversion of this
                           Warrant;

                  B =      the Exercise Price; and


                                       1
<PAGE>


                  C =      the number of Warrant Shares as to which this
                           Warrant is being converted.


         "Fair Market Value" of one Warrant Share shall mean:

         (a) if the conversion right is being exercised in connection with a
transaction specified in Section 9 hereof, the value of the consideration
(determined, in the case of non-cash consideration, in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Company) to be received pursuant to such transaction by the
holder of one Warrant Share;

         (b) if the conversion right is being exercised after the occurrence of
an initial public offering of common stock of the Company, the average of the
high and low trading prices of a share of Common Stock as reported by the
principal securities exchange or market on which the common stock is listed for
trading for the three trading days prior to the surrender of this Warrant for
conversion in accordance with the terms hereof; or

         (c) in all other cases, the fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company.

         Upon conversion of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 2, the
registered holder hereof shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the
number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance herewith.

3. ISSUANCE OF SHARES; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. Certificates for shares
purchased upon exercise or issuable upon conversion hereof shall be delivered to
the holder by the Company's stock transfer agent at the Company's expense within
three business days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been
exercised or converted, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms hereof.
Each certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested
by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or,
subject to applicable laws, any other name or names as shall be requested by
such holder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event certificates for Warrant
Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the holder of this
Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise or conversion shall be
accompanied by an Assignment Form, the form of which is attached hereto as ANNEX
B, duly executed by the holder hereof. If, upon exercise or conversion of this
Warrant, fewer than all of the Warrant Shares evidenced by this Warrant are
purchased or issued prior to the Expiration Date, one or more new warrants of
like tenor to this Warrant will be issued for the remaining number of Warrant
Shares not purchased upon such exercise or issued upon such conversion. The
Company agrees that the shares so issued shall be deemed to be issued to such
holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered for exercise or
conversion in accordance with the terms hereof. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise or conversion
of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon
the exercise or conversion of this Warrant, an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then current price at which each share may be purchased
hereunder shall be paid in cash to the holder of this Warrant.

4. CHARGES, TAXES AND EXPENSES. Issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant
Shares upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be made without
charge to the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company.

5. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. This Warrant does not entitle the holder hereof to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the
exercise or conversion hereof.


                                       2

6. EXCHANGE AND REGISTRY OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the registered holder at the principal above-mentioned
office or agency of the Company, for a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of
such exchange. The Company shall maintain at its principal offices (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing
to the registered holder hereof), a registry showing the name and address of the
registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange,
transfer, exercise or conversion, in accordance with its terms, at such office
or agency of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all
respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

7. LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will
make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation,
in lieu of this Warrant.

8. SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS. If the last or appointed day for the taking
of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be
a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal
holiday.

9. MERGER, SALE OF ASSETS, ETC. If at any time the Company proposes to merge or
consolidate with or into any other corporation, effect any reorganization, or
sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, in a
transaction in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
completion of the transaction will own immediately after completion of the
transaction less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
entity (or its parent) succeeding to the business of the Company, then the
Company shall give the holder of this Warrant sixty (60) days' prior written
notice of the proposed effective date of such transaction, and if this Warrant
has not been exercised or converted by or on the effective date of such
transaction, it shall terminate.

10. SUBDIVISION, COMBINATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONVERSION, ETC. If the Company
at any time shall, by subdivision, combination, reclassification of securities
or otherwise, change the Warrant Shares into the same or a different number of
securities of any class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the
holder to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable
in respect of the Warrant Shares (or other securities which were subject to the
purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision,
combination, reclassification or other change) as the result of such change if
this Warrant had been exercised in full for cash immediately prior to such
change. The Exercise Price hereunder shall be adjusted if and to the extent
necessary to reflect such change. If the Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise or conversion hereof are subdivided or combined into a
greater or smaller number of shares of such security, the number of shares
issuable hereunder shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case
may be, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced or increased, as
the case may be, in both cases according to the ratio which the total number of
shares of such security to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to
the total number of shares of such security outstanding immediately prior to
such event. The Company shall give the holder prompt written notice of any
change in the type of securities issuable hereunder, any adjustment of the
Exercise Price for the securities issuable hereunder, and any increase or
decrease in the number of shares issuable hereunder.

11.      TRANSFERABILITY; COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT

         (a) This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of the successors to and
assigns of the holder. Prior to the Expiration Date and subject to compliance
with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable by
the holder hereof, in whole or in part, at the principal offices of the Company
(or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in
writing to the registered holder hereof). Any such transfer shall be made in
person or by the holder's duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this
Warrant together with a properly endorsed Assignment Form.

         (b) Each certificate representing the Warrant Shares or other
securities issued in respect of the Warrant upon any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear a
legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required
under applicable state securities laws):

         These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of
         1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any state securities laws. They may
         not be sold, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
         transferred n the absence of a registration statement in effect with
         respect to the securities under such act or, at the option of the
         company, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
         that such registration is not required, or unless sold pursuant to an
         exemption to such Act.

12. COOPERATION. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter documents or
through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the rights of the holder of the Warrant against impairment.

13.      NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC.  In the event of

                  (a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of
         any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
         thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend on, or any right to
         subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
         class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other
         right, or

                  (b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any
         reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
         Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
         the Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
         any other person, or

                  (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
         winding-up of the Company,

then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
holder hereof, at least ten days prior to such record date, a notice specifying
(i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right; (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or other
securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up; and (iii) the amount and character of
any stock or other securities, or rights or options with respect thereto,
proposed to be issued or granted, the date of such proposed issue or grant and
the persons or class of persons to whom such proposed issue or grant is to be
offered or made.

Such notice shall also state that the action in question or the
record date is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a favorable vote of shareholders, if
either is required. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior to the
date specified in such notice on which any such action is to be taken or the
record date, whichever is earlier.

registered holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class certified mail,
