In order to acquire an additional 29% interest in Newco (the "Additional 29% Interest"), Diamante shall invest no less than an additional US$2,000,000 of exploration expenses in Newco no later than November 20, 2017 (the "29% Earn In Period"). The itemized detail of such expenses (as well as any other expenses incurred by Diamante in connection with this Agreement as provided for in this Agreement) shall be evidenced by the filings made by Diamante with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") indicating the incurrence of such exploration expenses as well as any other documentary evidence submitted by Diamante to Mineracao.

Mineracao shall have the right to negotiate and enter into an agreement (a "Major Mining Agreement") with a major mining company (a "Mining Company") to operate, finance and/or construct a mine on the claims owned by Newco and grant the Mining Company at least a 51% interest in Newco, provided that the Mining Company must commit to invest no less than US$250,000,000 in Newco. In the event a Major Mining Agreement is entered into the interests of Diamante and Mineracao shall be diluted pro rata in accordance with their percentage holdings in Newco, provided that, if such Major Mining Agreement is entered into during the 29% Earn In Period, Diamante may elect to exercise the First Right by forthwith paying to Mineracao the amount then remaining to be invested to acquire the Additional 29% Interest.


2.3            Profits. Any and all profits generated by Newco shall be allocated between Diamante and Mineracao according to their respective equity interest in Newco and paid in the form of dividends based on the assessment of the board of the directors of Newco.


ARTICLE 3

 MANAGEMENT OF NEWCO


3.1            Joint Venture Entity.  The terms provided for in this Agreement shall be incorporated into the charter and bylaws of Newco.


3.2            Board.  During the period from the date hereof until the expiry of the 29% Earn In Period, and thereafter in circumstances where Diamante acquires the Additional 29% Interest, Newco shall be managed by a board of directors comprised of two (2) representatives from each of Diamante and Mineracao. In circumstances where Diamante fails to acquire the Additional 29% Interest the board of directors shall thereafter be comprised of three (3) representatives of Mineracao and one (1) of Diamante provided that, if Diamante's interest in Newco is reduced to 10% or less, Diamante shall thereafter not be entitled to any representation on the board of directors of Newco. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the affirmative approval of at least three of the four members of the board must be obtained prior to taking the following actions:


(i)            the adoption of the annual budget, including all expenditures relating to Newco, and any amendments thereto (the "Budget");


(ii)            the approval of financial statements and reports relating to Newco;


(iii)            the appointment and termination of a general manager for Newco, including the terms of the compensation of such manager;


(iv)            any financing or funding for Newco, including without limitation the authorization or issuance of any right, including, without limitation, any warrant or option or other right (contingent or otherwise) to purchase or acquire any interest in Newco;





-3-




(v)            the scope and purpose of a feasibility study for Newco, including the determination that the study is positive;


(vi)            the decision to mine and commence commercial production;


(vii)            the sale or lease of any claim owned by Newco;


(viii)            the execution of any agreement relating directly or indirectly to Newco, including without limitation, any off-take, lease or sale agreement or royalty arrangement;


(ix)            the encumbrance of any type of security interest in any portion of the assets or securities of Newco or any interest therein;


(x)            establishing any subsidiary or other company which shall have any interest in Newco or any portion thereof;


(xi)            the appointment of key employees, agents or consultants for Newco, including without limitation the terms of their compensation and benefit arrangements;


(xii)            the commencement or settlement of any litigation or threatened litigation in which the amount at issue involves more than $500,000; and


(xiii)            any termination or winding up of Newco.


3.3            Expenses.  Each of Diamante and Mineracao agree that all expenditures relating to Newco shall be allocated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, until and unless Diamante achieves a 49% interest in Newco as provided herein, Diamante shall be responsible for 100% of the expenses of Newco up until the amount of $3,000,000 in total, provided that all such expenses shall first be approved in writing by the Diamante representatives on the board of directors of Newco.


The bank account in the name of Newco shall require that both the signature of a representative of Diamante and a representative of Mineracao shall be required for all withdrawals from said account. Until further notice, the Diamante representative shall be Chad Ulansky and the Mineracao representative shall be Keiven Bauer.


Diamante and Mineracao shall cause Newco to engage Kel-Ex Development Ltd. to carry out exploration activity in accordance with approved budgets and in this regard it is acknowledged that Kel-Ex Development Ltd. shall be entitled to charge a 10% administration fee on all exploration expenditures incurred under $50,000 and 5% on all exploration expenditures incurred over $50,000.


3.4            Claims. If at any time Diamante stops funding the company or decides to withdraw then Mineracao will be granted the right to acquire the interest of Diamante in Newco at fair market value.





-4-




3.5            Dilution.  Each of Diamante and Mineracao agree that if a party does not fund an expenditure provided for in the Budget, the interest of said defaulting party shall be reduced pro ratably through additional financings.  For the avoidance of doubt the first $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures is the responsibility of Diamante Minerals. For the purposes of such dilution calculations Mineracao will be initially deemed to have contributed an amount equal to its pro rata share of the amount contributed by Diamante (i.e. if Diamante contributed $3,000,000 for 49% of Newco's share Mineracao shall be deemed to have contributed $3,122,450 for 51%.


3.6            Interest in Newco.  Subject to Section 2.2 Mineracao agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, provide any other person or party any rights with respect to Newco without the prior written consent of Diamante.
