FEES AND OTHER BENEFITS.

          (a) CONSULTING FEE. The Consultant shall be paid a Consulting Fee (the
"Fee"), payable at a rate of $500 per day of Service, based on the Consultant's
submission of a supporting invoice detailing the nature of the Services provided
and related time commitments. It is agreed that the Fee shall be payable in
restricted common shares ("Shares") of the Company. The number of Shares to be
issued in satisfaction of the Fee shall be determined by dividing the Fee by the
average closing price of the company's common stock, as quoted on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"), applicable to the dates for which
Services were provided. Any fractional Share resulting from the calculation
shall be rounded up.

          (b) BUSINESS EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT. The Consultant shall be timely
reimbursed for all business-related travel and entertainment expenses, as well
as business-related out-of-pocket expenses, incurred directly in the performance
of his Services, provided he reports same with proper receipts.

          (c) FINDER'S FEE. If the Consultant presents a mineral property
available for acquisition to the Company, and if the Company acquires said
mineral property, the Consultant shall be entitled to receive, as a Finder's
Fee, a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty ("NSR") on any future sales of mineral
products from said mineral property by the Company. The Consultant shall neither
be entitled to receive a Fee for any time commitments, nor shall he be entitled
to be reimbursed for any expenses, related to the investigation of any mineral
property available for acquisition prior to the Consultant presenting said
mineral property to the Company, unless said time commitments and expenses are
authorized, in advance and in writing, by the Company. This Finder's Fee clause
shall be further governed by the Finder's Fee Agreement entered into by the
Company and the Consultant.

          (d) SHARES. The Company shall grant to the Consultant, as of the
Effective Date, an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company, priced at the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock, as
quoted on the OTCBB, for the five trading days prior to the Effective Date. The
option shall fully vest on the one-year anniversary of this Agreement, assuming
the Agreement has not been terminated prior thereto, in which case the option
shall be forfeited. The option shall have a three-year term from the Effective
Date of this Agreement

     6.   Duties upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, for
whatever reason and howsoever arising or effected, the Consultant shall
forthwith (and in any event not later than fourteen (14) days after such
termination):

Deliver up to the Company all documents, statistics, accounts, memoranda,
papers, records and other items of whatsoever nature or description which may be
in his possession or control and relate in any way to the business or affairs of
the Company and no such documents or other items, nor any part of copy thereof,
shall be retained by him

Resign from any office or appointment held by him with the Company and transfer
any share registered in his name as nominee for the Company and should he fail
to do so, the Company is hereby irrevocably authorized in his name and on his
behalf to sign and deliver every such resignation and transfer

     7.   NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

          a.   The Consultant shall not at any time, either during or after the
termination of this Agreement:

               (1) Disclose to any person not employed by the Company or any
person not engaged to render services to the Company (except with the prior
written consent of a majority of the members of the Board or an officer duly
authorized by the Board), any confidential information or trade secrets relating
to the Company or any of its business activities obtained by the Consultant
while employed by the Company if such disclosure would cause demonstrable
injury, monetary or otherwise, to the Company or its business activities;

               (2) Engage in conduct, or promote others to engage in conduct,
which would cause demonstrable injury, monetary or otherwise, to the Company or
its business activities

          b.   Not subject to the provisions of this section shall be any
information which the Consultant can show (1) at the time of disclosure, is in
the public domain as evidenced by printed publication through no fault of the
Consultant; (2) by written documentation was in his possession at the time of
disclosure and which was not acquired directly or indirectly from the Company;
or (3) by written documentation was acquired, after disclosure, from a third
party who did not receive it from the Company, and who had the right to disclose
the information without any obligation to hold such information confidential.


     8.   Covenant Not to Compete. The Consultant acknowledges and recognizes
the highly competitive nature of Company's Business and further acknowledges and
recognizes that during the course of his Employment, the Consultant will receive
specific knowledge of the Company's Business, access to trade secrets and
confidential information. The Consultant acknowledges that Company is without an
adequate remedy at law in the event this covenant is violated. The Consultant
further acknowledges that this covenant not to compete is an independent
covenant within this Agreement. This covenant shall survive this Agreement and
shall be treated as an independent covenant for the purposes of enforcement.
Accordingly, the Consultant agrees to the following:

          a.   That for a period of twenty-four (24) months after termination of
the Consultant's Employment under this Agreement (the "Restricted Period"), the
Consultant will not, individually or in conjunction with others, directly or
indirectly, engage in any activity competitive with the Company's business
within a geographical area which is within three (3) miles of any exploration or
operating mine site of the Company, other than on behalf of the Company and as
agreed by the Company or except without the written consent of the Company.

          b.   That during the Restricted Period, the Consultant will not
directly or indirectly recruit or solicit any employee or agent of the Company
to discontinue such employment or agency relationship with the Company.

                                                                               4

          c.   That during the Restricted Period, the Consultant will not
interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company and any of the
Company's clients, employees or agents.

          d.   The employment of the Consultant in a similar position with
another company engaged in the same line of business shall not be prohibited by
this Covenant not to Compete, so long as the Consultant does not breach this
Section 8.


     9.   REMEDIES AND ENFORCEMENT.

          a.   The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Company's remedy
at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 7
or 8 above would be inadequate and the breach shall be per se deemed as causing
irreparable harm to the Company. In recognition of this fact, in the event of a
breach by the Consultant of any of the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 above, the
Consultant agrees that, in addition to any remedy at law available to the
Company, including, but not limited to monetary damages, the Company, without
posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of
specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent
injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available to the
Company.

          b.   If the Consultant violates the restrictions set forth in this
Agreement, then the duration of the restrictions under Sections 7 or 8 above
shall be extended for an amount of time equal to the number of days that the
Consultant violated the Agreement until the date that the Company obtains an
order enjoining the Consultant from said violation.

          c.   In the event that, despite the express agreement of the
Consultant and the Company, any provision stated herein shall be determined by
any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for
any reason whatsoever, the parties agree that the provision shall be interpreted
to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable;
and/or over the maximum extent in any and all other respects as to which it may
be enforceable, all as determined by such court or tribunal.

          d.   In the event that the Consultant challenges this Agreement and an
injunction is issued staying the implementation of the restrictions imposed
herein, the time remaining on the restrictions shall be tolled until the
challenge is resolved by final adjudication, settlement or otherwise, except
that the time remaining on the restrictions shall not be tolled during any
period in which the Consultant is unemployed. If a court finds in favor of the
Company, the restrictions will be imposed for the amount of time that remains on
the restrictions at the time they were tolled, or at the time of the court's
decision of the restrictions were not tolled, as the case may be.

          e.   The Consultant further acknowledges and agrees that in the event
of a breach, or threatened breach of the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 above,
the Company will suffer immediate and irreparable harm which said harm is
presumed to occur, and that the Company shall be entitled to receive from a
court of competent jurisdiction, a temporary restraining order with or without
notice to the Consultant, as well as the entry of a preliminary and permanent
injunction. Said right to an injunction shall be in addition to and not in
limitation of any other rights or remedies the Company may have for damages or
otherwise.

                                                                               5

          f.   It is further expressly understood and agreed that the provisions
of this Agreement shall apply whether this Agreement is terminated by the
Company or the Consultant or upon its expiration or termination.

          g.   If the Consultant breaches this provision and the Company seeks
an injunction or other legal remedy to interpret or enforce this covenant, then
the Consultant agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of the
Company both for the trial and any appeal.

          h.   Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the
Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or
threatened breach.


     10.  Covenants as Essential Elements of this Agreement; Survival of
Covenants. It is understood by and between the parties hereto that the foregoing
covenants by the Consultant contained in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement
shall be construed to be agreements independent of any other element of the
Consultant's relationship with the Company. The existence of any other claim or
cause of action, whether predicated on any other provision in this Agreement, or
otherwise, as a result of the relationship between the parties, shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement of the covenants in this Agreement
against the Consultant.


     11.  Effect on Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes any and all
prior or written agreements in their entirety between the parties, which shall
be void and of no further force and effect after the date of this Agreement,
except for the Finder's Fee Agreement between the parties.


     12.  Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under the
terms of this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent postage
prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, by overnight
delivery, by courier; or by confirmed telecopy, in the case of the Consultant to
the Consultant's last place of business or residence as shown on the records of
the Company, or in the case of the Company to its principal office as set forth
in the introductory paragraph, or such other place as it may designate.


     13.  Waiver. Unless agreed in writing, the failure of either party, at
any time, to require performance by the other of any provisions hereunder shall
not affect its right thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall a waiver by
either party of any breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a
waiver of any other preceding or succeeding breach of any term or provision of
this Agreement. No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or
act shall be deemed to be an extension of time for the performance of any other
obligation or act hereunder.


     14.  Complete Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the contents hereof, except for the
Finder's Fee Agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings between the parties with respect to such matters, whether
written or oral. Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or amended in any manner other than by an

                                                                               6

instrument in writing, signed by the party against which the enforcement of the
change, waiver, discharge or amendment is sought.


     15.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
constitute one agreement.


     16.  Binding Effect/Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties hereto, their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns and
shall not be assignable by the Consultant. The Company shall require any
successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and assets of the
Company, by written agreement expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be
required to perform if no such succession had occurred.


     17. Governing Law, Venue, Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall become
valid when executed and accepted by Company. The parties agree that it shall be
deemed made and entered into in the State of Nevada and shall be governed and
construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without
giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.


     18.  Headings. The headings of the sections are for convenience only and
shall not control or affect the meaning or construction or limit the scope or
intent of any of the provisions of this Agreement.


     19.  Survival. Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the
ongoing provisions of this Agreement, which shall survive such termination in
accordance with their terms.


     20.  Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If any court
determines that any provision of Sections 8 or 9 hereof is unenforceable because
of the duration or scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to
reduce the scope or duration of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its
reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable.


     21.  Construction. This Agreement shall be construed within the fair
meaning of each of its terms and not against the party drafting the document.
