5.       BUYOUT. Buyout price is US$3,000,000 (three million dollars) from which
         advance royalty payments, made up to the day of buyout, may be
         subtracted from the Buyout price. Lessee will pay Lessor a perpetual
         three quarter percent (0.75%) royalty on Net Smelter Returns (as
         defined below in Section 6. of this document) thereafter.

6.       DEFINITION OF NET SMELTER RETURNS. During the term of this Lease,
         Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as a land owner's Production Royalty, a
         percentage of the Net Smelter Returns (as defined below) from the sale
         of any Valuable Minerals, Ore, and Product mined and sold from the
         Property. "Net Smelter Returns" are defined as the gross revenues
         actually received by Lessee from the sales of any Valuable Minerals
         extracted and produced from the Property less the following charges:

                  a.       All costs to Lessee of weighing, sampling,
                           determining moisture content and packaging such
                           material and of loading and transporting it to the
                           point of sale, including insurance and in-transit
                           security costs.

                  b.       All smelter costs and all charges and penalties
                           imposed by the smelter, refinery or purchaser.

                  c.       Marketing costs and commissions.

                  d.       Not withstanding the foregoing, for purposes of
                           determining the royalty payable to Lessor on any gold
                           and/or silver produced from the Property, the price
                           attributed to such gold and/or silver shall be the
                           price per ounce of gold and/or silver on which the
                           royalty is to be paid (as the case may be) as quoted
                           on the London Metals Exchange at the PM fix on the
                           day prior to the date of final settlement from the
                           smelter, refinery or other buyer of the gold and/or
                           silver on which the royalty is to be paid (the
                           "Quoted Price"). For purposes of determining the
                           gross revenues, in the event the Lessee elects not to
                           sell any portion of the gold and/or silver mined from
                           the Property, but instead elects to have the final
                           product of any such gold and/or silver credited to be
                           held for its account with any smelter, refiner or
                           broker, such gold and/or silver shall be deemed to
                           have been sold at the Quoted Price on the day such
                           gold and/or silver is actually credited to or placed
                           in Lessee's account. The percentage for this
                           Production Royalty shall be four percent (4%).

                  e.       Lessors shall be paid the Production Royalty
                           quarterly by certified check by the Lessee.

7.       CONDITIONS OF TERMINATION BY LESSOR. This lease may be terminated at
         any time by the Lessor subject to the following:

                                    Page -2-
<PAGE>

                  a.       If Lessee fails to meet the above lease payments,
                           Lessor must give written notice to Lessee of such
                           default. After receipt of default, Lessee has 15 days
                           to cure the default.

                  b.       If Lessee fails to make Federal, State, and County
                           maintenance payments or filing fees at least 15 days
                           prior to due date, Lessor shall notify Lessee of a
                           possible default. After 10 days, if the default is
                           not cured Lessor may initiate payment on the claims.
                           Lessee will be able to cure this default by
                           reimbursing all Federal, State and County payments
                           made by the Lessor + a 20% penalty within 30 days.

8.       CONDITIONS OF TERMINATION BY LESSEE. This Lease may be terminated at
         any time by the Lessee subject to the following:

                  a.       Lessee must give written notice 30 days prior to
                           relinquishing the leased property.

                  b.       In the event Lessee desires to terminate the
                           agreement after June 1 of any year, Lessee shall be
                           responsible for all Federal, State, and County
                           Maintenance and filing fees for the next assessment
                           year regarding the leased property.

                  c.       Lessee shall deliver to Lessors in reproducible form
                           all data generated or obtained for the leased
                           property, whether factual or interpretive as defined
                           in section 13.

                  d.       Lessee shall quitclaim to Lessors all claims located
                           or acquired by Lessee within the one (1) mile area of
                           interest described in Paragraph 4.

9.       RECLAMATION, COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW. All exploration and development

         and local reclamation statutes, regulations and ordinances relating to
         such work, at Lessee's cost, and Lessee shall indemnify and hold
         harmless Lessor from any and all claims, assessments, fines and actions
         arising from Lessee's failure to perform the foregoing obligations.
         Lessee's reclamation obligation shall survive termination of the
         Agreement. Lessor agrees to cooperate with Lessee in Lessee's
         application for governmental licenses, permits, and approvals, the

         governmental licenses, permits, and approvals.
