                WHEREAS,
  Publisher is the publisher of investment letters and is otherwise involved in

                NOW,
  THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is
  agreed: 

 1.            
  Engagement. Company hereby engages Publisher to print or reprint an edition
  of Publisher’s Gold Newsletter’s Mining Share Focus which prominently
  features a report on Company, and distribute the same as set out in Section
  3. 

 2.            
  Preparation of Report. Company will cooperate fully and timely with Publisher
  and supply to Publisher all materials reasonably requested by Publisher to prepare
  any report on Company for Gold Newsletter’s Mining Share Focus.
  Because Publisher will rely upon this information in preparation of the newsletter,
  Company represents that all such information shall be true, accurate, complete
  and not misleading, in any respect. 

 3.            
  Delivery. Publisher will cause the Mining Share Focus edition
  featuring Company to be distributed to approximately 250,000 persons with addresses
  in the United States of America whose names will be obtained from a direct mailing
  service which has compiled a mailing list of potential investors. Publisher
  will not distribute any copies in Canada. Publisher agrees to mail the Mining
  Share Focus edition featuring Company on or about May 2, 2003. The edition
  to be distributed pursuant to this section of the agreement may include publicity
  about and subscription offers to Gold Newsletter. 

 4.            
  Company Review. No material about Company shall be distributed by Publisher
  unless and until Company has reviewed and approved the same. Company will act
  diligently and promptly in reviewing materials submitted to it by Publisher
  to enhance timely distribution of the materials and will inform Publisher of
  any inaccuracies contained at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the
  projected publication and/or delivery date. However, if Publisher has failed
  to deliver such material to Company at least twenty (20) business days prior
  to such projected date, such date shall be extended from day to day to allow
  Company to respond prior to such fifteen (15) business days. 






5.            
  Compensation. In consideration of the services to be performed by Publisher,
  Company agrees to pay Publisher for the cost of writing, typesetting, printing
  (or reprinting) and mailing the edition of the Mining Share Focus to
  be distributed hereunder, plus all costs of distribution (including the cost
  of obtaining the mailing list to be utilized) and a reasonable allowance for
  Publisher’s overhead and creative direction (including salaries) incurred
  in connection with performance of this Agreement. Such costs are to be no greater
  than US$250,000. If Publisher's actual costs are less than the maximum herein
  provided, Publisher may nonetheless retain such excess as additional compensation.
  In order to meet the scheduled mailing date, a US$50,000 non-refundable deposit
  is due no later than April 1, 2003, and the balance at least ten (10) days before
  the projected date of mailing as set forth in Section 3, or as extended under
  Section 4 or otherwise under this Agreement.

             
    Notwithstanding anything herein contained Publisher shall have no
  obligation to distribute the edition to be provided under Section 1 unless the
  full amount of compensation provided hereunder has been received by Publisher
  in immediately available funds at least ten (10) days prior to the delivery
  date specified in Section 3 or as otherwise extended hereunder.

            
    Recognizing that Publisher will incur identified and unidentified
  costs and expenditures upon this Agreement being executed, and reflecting that
  the amount thereof is not capable of predetermination the parties agree that
  the amount of the non-refundable deposit is a reasonable estimate of the damages
  Publisher will incur if Company fails timely to pay the balance of compensation
  as provided in the preceding paragraph. In that event, or if Company fails to
  confirm that the distribution should go forward as planned within thirty (30)
  days after Publisher receives the non-refundable deposit, Publisher may terminate
  this Agreement and retain the non-refundable deposit as liquidated damages.

             
    If Company fails timely make the non-refundable deposit, Publisher's
  sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement.

             
    Publisher shall ensure that a disclaimer is featured prominently
  on the edition of the Gold Newsletter’s Mining Share Focus reporting

  of the edition and the amount of the fee.
