Subject as set out in subsection 1(b), the payment for each quarter shall be paid to Eldorado by the Optionee by certified cheque, bank draft or wire transfer (in the sole and absolute discretion of Eldorado) in Canadian dollars, on or before the day that is thirty (30) days after the last day of each quarter. Any adjustment to the determination of any payment shall be made on the next scheduled 2% NSR payment date. All such payments and adjustment payments shall be delivered to Eldorado in such manner as specified by Eldorado.

(b)

Eldorado shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect once every four quarters to receive the 2% NSR payments in respect of Minerals in the physical product in kind in the form of Refined Metal, free and clear of all encumbrances, liens or rights of others. In order to receive payments in such physical product in kind, Eldorado shall provide the Optionee with written notice to receive payment in the physical product in kind not less than sixty (60) days prior to the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the next four quarters for which the payments are to be paid to Eldorado in kind. For greater certainty, if Eldorado has not provided the Optionee with written notice to receive such payments in the physical product in kind, the Optionee shall pay, and Eldorado shall receive, such payments in accordance with Section 1(a). The foregoing right of Eldorado to receive such payments in the physical product in kind shall be subject to the following:

(i)

delivery of payment in kind shall be only to the account of Eldorado at the Processor at which Minerals are refined or otherwise processed; and

(e)

Notwithstanding the terms of any other provision in this Agreement, the Optionee shall not be obligated to make any payment before the Optionee has received possession of or been credited with Minerals, or been credited with the sale or other disposition of Minerals (but for greater certainty, shall be obligated to make such payment upon being credited with the sale or other disposition of Minerals, whether the Optionee is in receipt of payment or not).

(f)

Eldorado may object in writing to any statement or payment amount within twenty-four (24) months of the receipt by Eldorado of the relevant statement in respect of such payment. If it is determined by agreement of the parties or by a court of competent jurisdiction that any payment has not been properly paid in full as provided herein, the Optionee shall pay interest on the delinquent payment at a rate per annum of Prime plus 2% per annum, ("Interest"), commencing on the date on which such delinquent payment was properly due and continuing until the date on which Eldorado receives payment in full of such delinquent payment and all accrued interest thereon. For the purposes of this subsection, Prime shall be determined as of the date on which such delinquent payment was properly due.

(g)

If it is determined by agreement of the parties or by a court of competent jurisdiction that any 2% NSR payment was overpaid, the Optionee shall be entitled to offset such amount against the next payment.

(h)

All 2% NSR payments, including Interest, if any, will be made subject to withholding or deduction on account of direct taxes and assessments or governmental charges imposed or levied on such payment by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority having power and jurisdiction to tax and for which the Optionee is obligated in law to withhold or deduct and remit to such Governmental Authority. The Optionee shall set out in the statement referred to in Section 1(d) any amount so withheld.

(i)

All payments shall be made without deduction or set off for costs of production, milling, smelting, processing, transportation, taxes or other expenses whatsoever, except as provided in this Agreement.

(j)

In the event that Eldorado determines that it wishes to receive payments in the physical product in kind:

(i)

the Optionee shall direct any Processor that is the final refiner or other Processor of such Minerals to make the payment directly to the account of Eldorado at the Processor (failing which, Eldorado shall be entitled to make such direction); and

(ii)

the Optionee shall notify Eldorado in writing at least three weeks prior to any change of such Processor.

Representative samples of the Minerals shall be retained by the Optionee and assays and appropriate analyses of these samples shall be made before commingling to determine metal, mineral, water and other appropriate content of the Minerals. From this information, the Optionee shall determine the quantity of the Minerals subject to the 2% NSR notwithstanding that the Minerals have been commingled with ores or minerals from other properties. Absent objection made by Eldorado pursuant to Section 1(1), the Optionee may dispose of the materials and data required to be produced and kept by this Section after a period of six (6) years from the date such materials and data are produced.

3.01 HEDGING TRANSACTIONS

All profits, losses and expenses resulting from the Optionee engaging in any commodity futures trading, option trading, metals trading, metal loans, and any other hedging transactions or any combination thereof (collectively "Hedging Transactions") are specifically excluded from calculations of the 2% NSR payments pursuant to this Agreement. All Hedging Transactions shall be for the Optionee's sole account and shall not affect the calculation and payment to Eldorado of the 2% NSR payment which shall be calculated and paid in accordance with Section 1 without regard for any Hedging Transactions.

4.01 STOCKPILING

Subject to subsections l(d)(vii) and 2 of this Agreement, the Optionee or operator shall be entitled to temporarily stockpile, store or place ores or mined rock containing Minerals produced from the Property in any locations owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the Optionee or its affiliates or the Processor on or off the Property, provided the same are appropriately identified as to ownership and origin and secured from loss, theft, tampering and contamination.

5.01 BOOKS; RECORDS; INSPECTIONS

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Eldorado shall have the right to audit all invoices and other records relating to the transportation of Minerals from the Property to any mill, refinery or other Processor at which Minerals from the Property may be milled, smelted, concentrated, refined or otherwise treated or processed, and relating to the transportation of Minerals in the form of concentrates, dore, slag or other waste products from any mill at which Minerals from the Property may be milled, to a Processor. Eldorado shall diligently complete any audit or other examination permitted hereunder. All expenses of any audit or other examination permitted hereunder shall be paid by Eldorado, unless the results of such audit or other examination permitted hereunder disclose a deficiency in respect of any payments paid to Eldorado hereunder in respect of the period being audited or examined in an amount greater than 5% of the amounts properly payable with respect to such period, in which event all expenses of such audit or other examination shall be paid by the Optionee.

(b)

Once the delay is over and the Force Majeure is no longer in effect, the option renewal dates shall revert to those outlined under paragraph 1. All payments required to renew each successive option that were suspended during the period of Force Majeure (even if the time for exercising any such option expired during the period of Force Majeure without the Optionee having had the opportunity to exercise it) shall immediately become due and payable within 10 days of the end of the Force Majeure event. In order to keep the option valid, cumulative events of Force Majeure shall not amount to more that 18 months during the option period.

ARBITRATION FOR FORCE MAJEURE

Should the Optionors be of the opinion that there is not a valid reason for Force Majeure or that the Force Majeure is being abused by the Optionee under the terms of paragraph 5, both parties agree to submit to arbitration under the terms of the Arbitration Act of Manitoba, and three arbitrators shall be appointed. In any event, only the question of the validity of the Force Majeure is to be decided by Arbitration. Should this question go to Arbitration, the Optionors shall give written notice to the Optionee of its intention to proceed to arbitration together with the name of its nominee to the arbitration board.
