--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DUTIES

Endeavour will act as financial advisor to IMA and as such will provide IMA with
advice and assistance regarding the solicitation, structuring, negotiating and
closing of a Transaction(s). It is understood that the specific duties may vary
with the type of Transaction undertaken, but in general Endeavour expects to
provide the following progression of services:

     1.   Assisting IMA in sourcing and evaluating potential sources of debt and
          equity, or other financing as required to permit IMA to continue its
          mineral property acquisition and exploration activities;

     2.   Assist IMA with undertaking detailed technical evaluation of any
          assets to be acquired, whether in-house or on-site, including a
          comprehensive review of operating histories and any geological
          material and reserve/resource estimates.

     3.   If appropriate, review relevant corporate material of the
          assets/company to be acquired, including the status of relevant
          corporate agreements and all available financial data.

     4.   Based on the foregoing review, prepare financial models for the
          businesses and assess the debt capacity of IMA under various scenarios
          (including proforma post-acquisition scenarios). Identify alternate
          debt scenarios and examine various corporate strategies opposite each
          debt scenario to determine the impact on future corporate cash flows.

     5.   Based on a review of the projected cashflows and discussions with
          management, identify strategic options and recommend to IMA a course
          of action and financing strategy.

     6.   Advise IMA management on payment structure, particularly with respect
          to the timing of payments, repatriation of funds, and repatriation
          regulations and procedures.

     7.   In terms of a debt financing Transaction, determine prospective
          lenders that currently have both the lending and risk profile capacity
          to provide funds for the particular Transaction contemplated and
          manage and lead the solicitation process.

     8.   Assist IMA with preparing the appropriate marketing document (i.e. an
          Information Memorandum/Financing Plan), which will be used to solicit
          interest from potential lenders, investors, acquirers or merger
          partners.

     9.   In conjunction with IMA management, review the most favoured
          candidates and evaluate each as a component of IMA's overall business
          strategy. Select the candidate(s) or lenders that would produce the
          most optimal business Transaction.

     10.  Initiate discussions with the qualified candidate(s) and co-ordinate
          all subsequent contacts, including arrangement for signature of
          Confidentiality Agreements, co-ordinate the dissemination of
          information memoranda and other materials.

     11.  If appropriate, assist IMA with preliminary due diligence it will need
          to undertake on a counter-party.

     12.  In concert with IMA management, negotiate the initial terms of the
          proposed Transaction(s) and assist in the drafting of a Letter of
          Intent with a view to progressing to a Definitive Agreement, or, in
          the case of a debt finance transaction, negotiate and progress the
          signing of a Commitment Letter from the preferred lender.

     13.  Establish a detailed timetable and work schedule with IMA and the
          selected candidate(s) and/or financial institution. This work schedule
          will include a comprehensive schedule of tasks, required documentation
          and related Transaction(s) duties, as well as the delegation of
          responsibility to all parties involved.

     14.  As appropriate, assist IMA and its lawyers with completing a detailed
          review of various drafts of legal agreements, loan documentation and
          ancillary

Endeavour may terminate this agreement without prior notice for just cause,

SCHEDULE A - INDEMNITY

IMA hereby agrees to indemnify and save Endeavour, its affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" and individually, an "Indemnified Party") harmless from
and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages,
liabilities or expenses of whatsoever nature or kind, including any
investigation expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party, to which any
Indemnified Party may become subject by reason of the performance of
professional services rendered to IMA hereunder.

This indemnity will not apply in the event and to the extent that a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified
Party was negligent, guilty of willful misconduct or was in breach of this
agreement.

In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against IMA, the Indemnified Party will give IMA prompt
written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge
and IMA will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the
Indemnified Party, including employment of counsel acceptable to such
Indemnified Party and make payment of all expenses.

No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without
the consent of IMA and the Indemnified Parties affected, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.

Notwithstanding that IMA will undertake the investigation and defense of any
action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

         (a) Employment of such counsel has been authorized by IMA; or

         (b) IMA has not assumed the defence of the action within a reasonable
         period of time after receiving notice of the action; or

         (c) The named parties to any such action include both IMA and the
         Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by
         counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between IMA and the
         Indemnified Party; or

         (d) There are one or more legal defences available to the Indemnified
         Party which are different from or in addition to those available to
         IMA.

IMA hereby constitutes Endeavour as trustee for each other Indemnified Party and
IMA under this paragraph with respect to such other Indemnified Parties and
Endeavour agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on
behalf of such Indemnified Parties.
