APPENDIX “A” - ROYALTY

3% NET SMELTER RETURNS

1.                      In this Agreement, "3% Net Smelter Returns" means 3% of the net amount of money received by the Purchaser for its own account from the sale of ore, or ore concentrates or other mineral products from the Claims to a smelter or other mineral products buyer after deduction of smelter and/or refining charges, ore treatment charges, penalties and any and all charges made by the purchaser of ore, concentrates, or other mineral products, less any and all transportation costs which may be incurred in connection with the transportation of ore or concentrates, less all umpire charges which the purchaser may be required to pay.

2.                      Payment of Net Smelter Returns by the Purchaser to the Vendor shall be made semi-annually within 60 days after the end of each fiscal half year of the Purchaser and shall be accompanied by unaudited financial statements pertaining to the operations carried out by the Purchaser on the Claims.  Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Purchaser in which Net Smelter Returns are payable to the Vendor, the records relating to the calculation of Net Smelter Returns for such year shall be audited and any resulting adjustments in the payment of Net Smelter Returns payable to the Vendor shall be made forthwith.  A copy of the said audit shall be delivered to the Vendor within 30 days of the end of such 90-day period.

3.                      Each annual audit shall be final and not subject to adjustment unless the Vendor delivers to the Purchaser written exceptions in reasonable detail within six months after the Vendor receives the report.  The Vendor, or its representative duly authorized in writing, at its expense, shall have the right to audit the books and records of the Purchaser related to Net Smelter Returns to determine the accuracy of the report, but shall not have access to any other books and records of the Purchaser.  The audit shall be conducted by a chartered or certified public accountant of recognized standing.  The Purchaser shall have the right to condition access to its books and records on execution of a written agreement by the auditor that all information will be held in confidence and used solely for purposes of audit and resolution of any disputes related to the report.  A copy of the Vendor's report shall be delivered to the Purchaser upon completion, and any discrepancy between the amount actually paid by the Purchaser and the amount which should have been paid according to the Vendor's report shall be paid forthwith, one party to the other.  In the event that the said discrepancy is to the detriment of the Vendor and exceeds 5% of the amount actually paid by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall pay the entire cost of the audit.

4.                      Any dispute arising out of or related to any report, payment, calculation or audit shall be resolved solely by arbitration as provided in the Agreement.  No error in accounting or in interpretation of the Agreement shall be the basis for a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, or the like, or give rise to a claim for exemplary or punitive damages or for termination or rescission of the Agreement or the estate and rights acquired and held by the Purchaser under the terms of the Agreement.
