than One Million US Dollars ($1,000,000 USD) per occurrence and Three Million US Dollars ($3,000,000 USD) in the aggregate for comprehensive
general liability, including an endorsement for product liability claims arising from Licensed Products.

 

12.4
Notice of Claims. LICENSEE shall promptly notify PRF of all claims involving the Indemnitees and will provide information requested
by PRF for evaluation of each such claim.

 

	ARTICLE
    13	 	TERM
    AND TERMINATION

 

13.1
Term. Unless extended in writing by mutual agreement of the Parties, this Agreement will terminate on the earlier of the 20th
anniversary of the Effective Date, the expiration date of the last to expire of the Licensed Intellectual Property, or the maximum
duration permitted by applicable law (“Term”).

 

13.2 Termination by PRF.

 

13.2.1
Failure to Pay. In the event of a failure by LICENSEE to pay PRF any sum due and payable under this Agreement, and failure of
LICENSEE to cure the nonpayment default within ten (10) business days from the date of PRF sending written notice to LICENSEE of the
default, PRF may terminate this Agreement and the license granted hereunder, effective as of the date of PRF’s issuance of written
notice confirming LICENSEE’s failure to cure.

 

13.2.2
Lack of Financial Capability to Perform Commercialization Plan. Upon request of PRF, LICENSEE shall supply PRF with requested
evidence of LICENSEE’s fiscal capability to continue performance of the Commercialization Plan, including but not limited to progress
toward milestones specified in Schedule E. PRF may, by supplying LICENSEE with the written opinion of a Certified Public Accountant
that LICENSEE lacks sufficient resources to carry out the Commercialization Plan, declare LICENSEE in default of LICENSEE’s obligations
under the Commercialization Plan. If LICENSEE fails to cure within sixty (60) days from the date of PRF sending written notice of the
default to LICENSEE, the termination becomes automatically effective at the conclusion of the sixty-day period.

 

13.2.3
Other Breach. In the event of any default or material breach of this Agreement by LICENSEE other than for nonpayment or loss of
financial capability, PRF may terminate this Agreement and the license granted hereunder after serving LICENSEE with written notice of
the default or material breach. If LICENSEE fails to cure the default or breach within sixty (60) days from the date of PRF sending written
notice of the default to LICENSEE, the termination becomes automatically effective at the conclusion of the sixty-day period; provided,
however, if any default or breach cannot be cured by the exercise of due diligence within sixty (60) days, then the time for cure
may be extended, in PRF’s sole discretion, for the time reasonably necessary to effect the cure (the extension not to exceed forty-five
(45) days), provided that LICENSEE promptly commences to cure within said period and at all times thereafter proceeds diligently to cure
the default or breach.

 

13.3
Termination by LICENSEE. LICENSEE may terminate its license under this Agreement without cause upon written notice delivered to
PRF not less four (4) months prior to the date on which LICENSEE intends for the termination to be effective. Filing by LICENSEE of a
bankruptcy petition or commencement of liquidation, dissolution, or wind-up proceedings under applicable state law shall constitute written
notice to PRF that LICENSEE has terminated its license under this Agreement, effective immediately prior to executing said petition or
commencing said proceedings. In the event of termination by LICENSEE under this Section 13.3. LICENSEE agrees, upon the request of PRF,
to provide PRF with all existing data in support of registration of Licensed Product(s) with all relevant federal agencies. PRF shall
have the unrestricted right to provide such data to third parties.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

13.4
Failure to Enforce. The failure of PRF at any time, or for any period of time, to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall
not be construed as a waiver of such provision or as a waiver of the right of PRF thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this
Agreement.

 

13.5
Assignment of Sublicenses. LICENSEE shall take all steps necessary to terminate each Sublicense, effective as of the date of termination
of LICENSEE’s license from PRF under this Agreement. Upon reasonable request of LICENSEE and Sublicensee and verification by Sublicensee
that LICENSEE is not in default of any obligation to Sublicensee, PRF may accept, in its sole discretion, assignment of a Sublicense,
including the right to all consideration promised to LICENSEE thereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, PRF shall not be bound by any of the following with respect to a Sublicense: (1) duties or obligations of the LICENSEE to Sublicensee
which cannot be assumed or performed by PRF because they are inconsistent with applicable laws or policies then in effect; (2) duties
or obligations of the LICENSEE that exceed the obligations of PRF as licensor in this Agreement; and/or

 

(3)
duties or obligations of the LICENSEE contained in any Sublicense that are not contained in this Agreement, or which extend beyond the
Term.

 

13.6
Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement does not relieve either party of any obligation which arises before expiration
or termination, including without limitation obligations for payment and reporting. Any provision of this Agreement which contemplates
performance or observance subsequent to any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of
this Agreement and continue in full force and effect.

RE:
LIGAND ASSISTED DISPLACEMENT TECHNOLOGY – COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN

 

Context

 

 

High-purity
rare earth elements (“REE”) are essential ingredients of high-strength Neodymium Iron Boron (“NdFeB”) permanent
magnets and many other emerging high-technology products. Demand for REEs is forecast to grow rapidly due to their essential application
in wind turbines and electric vehicles, however China controls over 85% of global production and supply. The U.S. and Europe, without
legitimate near-term solutions to access REEs, stand at a geopolitical, economic, and security disadvantage just as demand begins to
grow rapidly.

 

Medallion
Resources Ltd (Medallion) is a Canadian public company and a long-term researcher on the extraction of REE from mineral sand monazite
safely, economically and with high resource efficiency. Medallion is engaged with all parts of the REE supply chain with access to suppliers,
customers and finance for research and commercialization.

 

Medallion
seeks downstream technology solutions that can separate REEs into high value customer ready products with high resource efficiency, a
low carbon footprint and competitive economic returns. Medallion is collaborating with Hasler Ventures LLC in this regard to research,
develop and as appropriate commercially operate REE separation.

 

REE
Separation

 

 

Hasler
Ventures LLC is the holder of an exclusive license via a Master License Agreement (“MLA”) entered into as of January 15,
2021 (“Effective Date”), with Purdue Research Foundation for the worldwide application of Purdue University/Linda Wang’s
Ligand Assisted Displacement (the “Purdue LAD Technology”) chromatography across all fields of application.

 

This
technology targets the separation and purification of metals, including REE, from aqueous solutions. Linda Wang has identified the technology
to be at a technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 (TRL4) where TRL8/9 represents a production ready commercial implementation.

 

Conventional
REE purification (solvent extraction) processes use two-phase liquid-liquid extraction methods, which require over 1,800 stages, generate
large amounts of toxic waste and rely on solvent from petrochemical industries. In contrast, Linda Wang’s Purdue University laboratory
has pioneered and patented an efficient ligand-based displacement chromatography method for producing high-purity REEs with high yield
and high productivity in aqueous solution. A ligand, which forms selective coordination bonds with REEs, is added in the mobile phase
or immobilized on a sorbent surface to efficiently separate individual REEs by the formation of isotachic displacement bands (or “trains”)
in a chromatography column. REE selective ligands have been immobilized on silica gel, chitosan, cellulose, or polymeric resins.

 

Chromatography
methods use a packed bed of adsorbent particles, which have about 1,000 times higher interfacial areas per unit volume than those in
liquid-liquid extraction methods. Conventional ion exchange resins have small selectivities (<1.2) for separating individual REEs.
Adding a chelating agent like EDTA, which has high selectivity for forming a coordination complex in the mobile phase and can enable
efficient REE separation in an ion exchange column.

 

The
design methods are applicable to separating REEs and other metal ions from complex mixtures of widely different compositions. The method
has been tested with a ternary REE mixture in batch chromatography with EDTA in the mobile phase to produce three high-purity products,
Nd, Pr, and Dy (>99.5%), with high yield (>99%) and high productivity (>100 kg REE/m3 sorbent/day), around 100 times that of
current liquid-liquid extraction methods.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

Numerous
parameters affect the formation of the separation pattern (e.g. 21 parameters for 3 REEs), including feed composition, feed volume, adsorbent
capacity, selectivities, particle size, particle porosity, ligand selectivities and concentrations, solute dispersion, diffusion, and
mass transfer parameters, bed void fraction, column length, and mobile phase velocity. To counter this complexity, the Purdue LAD Technology
engages systematic mathematical simulation assigning strategic combinations of dimensionless groups to reduce the multi-dimensional design
parameter space into a two-dimensional space for a given binary pair. Simulations define the minimum dimensionless column lengths for
various values to generate a general correlation curve, which divides the two-dimensional space into a constant pattern region and a
transient region.

 

This
general correlation is a breakthrough in displacement chromatography, leading to a robust, scalable, and predictive design method—the
constant-pattern method. This method achieves the desired purity and yield with high sorbent productivity and ligand efficiency. It provides
the optimal operating conditions to meet the target yield and purity of one or multiple components for different crude mixtures for systems
at any scale. The column length and fluid velocity needed for the formation of a constant pattern state are determined from the intrinsic
adsorption, mass transfer, and ligand-solute complexation parameters. This new design method helps achieve a high sorbent productivity,
over 800 times higher than previously reported for ternary separations.

 

Furthermore,
Linda Wang has developed a general splitting strategy to maximize sorbent productivity, controlled by selectivity-weighted composition
factors (“γi” factors). To achieve the maximum productivity, the component with the largest γi factor, which
is the easiest to separate from the mixture, is recovered with a high purity in the first zone. The mixed bands of the first zone are
then sent to additional zones for further separation. The splitting continues until in the last zone only binary mixtures remain. The
mixed band material in the last zone is then recycled to the inlet of this zone to achieve high yields (99%) for all components. The
splitting strategy is a second breakthrough in the theory of displacement chromatography.

 

Test
results show that a two-zone LAD can achieve high purity (>99%), high yield (>99%), and high sorbent productivity for a ternary
REE mixture (>100 kg REE/m3/day), being 1,000 times more efficient than a single column LAD. Therefore, if successfully commercialized,
the Purdue LAD Technology method can provide robust economical and environmentally friendly supplies of pure REEs without a reliance
on legacy petrochemical industries for solvent.

 

Commercialization
Plan

 

 

The
Purdue LAD Technology will be licensed in three categories of application based on source of materials to promote parallel commercialization
as follows:

 

	 	Category
I:	Coal and coal derived materials including acid mine drainage;
	 	Category
II:	Battery and NdFeB magnet end-of-life recycled materials;
	 	Category
III:	All other materials including but not limited to primary ores, mining by-products and mining wastes, including REE-bearing materials
from mineral sand, fertilizer, iron ore and uranium production;

 

Medallion
shall undertake, and shall direct the Purdue laboratory of Linda Wang to undertake research and development on the application of the
Purdue LAD Technology on Category III materials with specific feedstock priorities determined by business opportunities of the day.

 

The
intellectual property which constitutes the Purdue LAD Technology is a relatively immature technology platform. Linda Wang has identified
the technology to be at a technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 (TRL4) where TRL8/9 represents a production ready commercial implementation.
The commercialization strategy therefore involves general research and development to benchmark economic and environmental factors vs
technology peers, followed by demonstration and validation, engineering and commercialization.

 

Medallion
will first seek to integrate the Purdue LAD Technology into the Company’s proprietary caustic crack and acid leach process, and
second consider the Purdue LAD Technology for integration into third party REE extraction and separation circuits where Category III
materials are being processed.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

Stage

Stage
2: Technology demonstration

 

	 	viii.	Undertake
    detailed engineering of a Purdue LAD Technology pilot plant to process pregnant leach solution generated by a similarly sized pilot
    plant implementing Medallion caustic crack and acid leach process
	 	ix.	Undertake
    a demonstration of the integrated processes at a scale sufficiently sized to eliminate further scale-up risk
	 	x.	Verify
    engineering assumptions and scale-up performance
	 	 	 
	 	xi.	Undertake
    a revised TEA and LCA for a commercial-scale plant combining Medallion Resources proprietary caustic crack and acid leach process
    with the LAD separation and refining platform localised to the proposed operating site
	 	xii.	Support
    third-party suppliers as required with co-funded R&D

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

	 	Milestone:	Production
    of sufficient quantities of finished product to supply to potential off-take partners
	 	 	 
	 	 	Confirmation
    of engineering design parameters for the commercial-scale implementation and equipment purchasing
	 	 	 
	 	 	Demonstration
    of recycling and reuse of reagents where commercially sensitive
	 	 	 
	 	 	Capture,
    stabilize and characterize waste materials and determine disposal strategies
	 	 	 
	 	 	Capture
    financial data to allow feasibility level modelling

 

Stage
3: Commercial implementation

 

	 	xiii.	Develop
    funding and sighting strategy for Medallion integrated process
	 	 	 
	 	xiv.	Develop
    licensing or technology sale strategy for third-party requirements

 

	 	Milestone:	Final

RE:

Dear
Alfredo

 

Medallion
Resources Ltd (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you (the “Employee” and together with the Company,
a “Party” or the “Parties”) the position of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
commencing on or shortly after the successful completion of an up-listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market or comparable US stock exchange
(the “IPO”), currently anticipated in June 2022. This letter formalizes and supersedes all prior offers to you by
the Company including but not limited to letters dated January 23, 2022 and February 7, 2022.

 

In
the event that the contemplated IPO is not completed within six months of the date of this letter, the Parties shall in good faith seek
to agree an alternative strategy for the Company and terms for the Employee’s continued involvement.

 

The
Company is evaluating the appropriate corporate structure to facilitate your employment in the United Kingdom. As such, the employment
contract (“Employment Contract”) may, at the Company’s discretion, be with a subsidiary or other wholly owned

provided that such activities and investments are not with an entity that conducts business with or is competitive with the Company and
that such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of your duties or responsibilities under the Employment Agreement.
By signing this letter, you confirm that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations (including restrictive covenant
agreements from another employer) that prohibit you from performing your duties for the Company other than your duty to provide notice
to your current employer.

 

    	 

     

    

 

Term

You

have a duty to design its compensation policies in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities, and you will not make any claim against
the Company or its Board of Directors related to tax liabilities arising from your compensation. For clarity, this paragraph does not
limit the Company’s obligation include sufficient cash in any bonus payments to enable the Employee to pay taxes due on the such
bonus payment.

 

Benefits

 

The
Company shall provide benefits required in the jurisdiction of the Employment Contract. In addition, you will be eligible to participate
in the employee benefit plans and programs generally available to the Company’s senior executives, subject to the terms and conditions
of such plans and programs and the seniority of your position. The Company reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate any of its
benefit plans or programs at any time and for any reason.

 

Vacation

 

You
shall be entitled to 30 days of paid vacations in addition to statutory holidays in the jurisdiction of the Employment Contract.

The
Board and I look forward to the next stage of the Company’s development under your leadership.
