Subject:  Letter of Intent - Acquisition Agreement

Dear Wade, Ken and Paul:

Battle Mountain Gold Exploration  Corp. ("BMGX") proposes acquiring the balance
of Pediment Gold LLC ("PGL")  to continue to explore the Nevada Great Basin
using Nevada Gold Exploration Solutions' (Nevada Gold Exploration Solutions, LLC
or "NGXS") proprietary Water Chemistry Database, GIS Database, Sampling Protocol
and Vapor Phase Geochemistry.  In reliance upon our mutual negotiation of a
definitive agreement for the purchase of PGL, BMGX will fund the 2005 Field
Reconnaissance Program to completion a maximum amount of $150,000.

This letter of Intent contains the outline of terms ("Non-binding Terms") to be
memorialized in a definitive acquisition agreement that we intend to be the
final, binding, written expression of our agreement.  This letter of Intent also
proposes interim procedures to be followed by the parties until a definitive
agreement can be realized ("Binding Terms").

Non-Binding Terms

1.   BMGX will transfer an additional one million (1,000,000) share of BMGX's
     stock to the members of NGXS in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of
     PGL.

2.   This acquisition includes the Hot Pot project area, the Fletcher Junction
     project area and all mineral prospects identified or acquired in Nevada as
     part of the 2004 and 2005 field reconnaissance programs.

3.   BMGX will transfer an additional two million (2,000,000) shares of
     BMGX's stock to the member of NGXS in exchange for the exclusive rights to
     its proprietary water chemistry database, GIS database, water sampling
     protocol and vapor phase geochemistry.

4.   NGXS will retain the exclusive rights to its proprietary water chemistry
     database, GIS database and proprietary water sampling protocol for
     world-wide application outside of Nevada.

5.   NGXS shall have the right of first refusal of an prospect not acquired
     (leased, staked, or otherwise), or acquired and subsequently rejected, by
     BMGX. A rejected property is one that BMGX has decided no to evaluate or
     advance for any reason. Prospects identified by PGL's 2004 and 2005
     exploration programs shall be the sole domain of BMGX until January 1,
     2008. Upon expiration, either party may acquire any of the available
     prospects for their own account without any consideration to the other
     party. Likewise, any future BMGX exploration for a given calendar year
     shall be the exclusive domain of BMGX for the following 24 months, after
     which NGXS may compete and acquire land.

6.   On a quarterly or semi-annual basis, under the direction of Wade
     Hodges and/or Kenneth Tullar, a recommended field program, schedule and
     budget for the following quarter or semi-annual period will be submitted to
     the Company's management and/or Board of Directors for review and approval.

7.   The Acquisition  Agreement  will  replace  the  Members'  Agreement  and
     Operating  Agreement  between  BMGX  and  NGXS  in  its  entirety  and will
     constitute the entire agreement between the parties.

Binding Terms

1.   NGXS grants BMGX an exclusive option ("Option") to purchase PGL, the
     proprietary water chemistry database, GIS database, water sampling protocol
     and vapor phase geochemistry and a suspension of payment obligations until
     March 31, 2006 in order for BMGX to complete certain financing activities.

2.   Within five business days of signing this Letter of Intent, $150,000 (as
     referenced in the first paragraph of this Letter of Intent) will be
     deposited in the PGL account.

3.   Upon completion of the field work for the 2005 field reconnaissance
     program, Wade Hodges and Ken Tullar will compile and present to the
     Company's management and/or Board of Directors the program's results before
     January 31, 2006. The compilation will include prioritized recommendations
     (based on sampling results, geology, land status, etc.) for land
     acquisitions and site- specific work recommendations ( to include
     descriptions of the work, work sequences, itemized costs and time
     requirements)from the site identified from the 2004 and 2005 field
     reconnaissance efforts.

4.   The parties intend to execute the formal Acquisition, replacing this
     Letter of Intent, by March 31, 2006.

5.   By January 31, 2006, BMGX will deliver to an escrow account 3,000,000
     share of the Company's common stock for distribution to NGXS. Upon BMGX's
     completion of it's financing for a minimum of eight million dollars
     ($8,000,000), the purchase of the Repadre assets and the signing of a
     formal acquisition agreement for PGL, the BMGX shares will be distributed
     to NGXS.

6.   Execution of the formal Acquisition Agreement is contingent upon
     completion of the Repadre transaction.

7.   Should BMGX not complete its financing and/or not move forward with the
     Repadre transaction and/or choose not to continue funding PGL activities,
     BMGX and NGXS will immediately meet to equitably divide the assets
     developed from BMGX's investment in both PGL and the members of NGXS.

8.   No terms of this agreement may be modified, changed or deleted without
     mutual consent by both parties.

Should you be in agreement with the terms of stated in this letter, please sing
the duplicate copies of this Letter of Intent and return on to Battle Mountain
Gold Exploration Corp.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mark Kucher
