    Dear

    RE:
      Mineral Property Acquistion

    

    This
      letter sets out the agreement (“Agreement”) reached among GSA Resources Inc.
      (“GSA” or the “Purchaser”) and White Cliffs Mining Inc. and Atlas Minerals Inc.
      (together the "Vendor") as vendor regarding the transfer and sale by the Vendor
      of all (100%) of the interest and rights to a diatomite
      mineral
      property of twenty
      unpatented placer mining claims covering 3,120 acres
      located
      in near Mammoth in Arizona, (the “Property”) more particularly described in
      Schedule A to this Agreement together with the other assets described in this
      Agreement to be sold to GSA , an Arizona company.

     

    Acquisition

     

     

    
      	
              1.

            	
              The
                Vendor hereby agrees to transfer to GSA all the Property on the terms
                and
                subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement (the “Sale
                Transaction”). The Sale Transaction will include assumption of any
                non-financial encumbrances and liabilities registered on the Property
                such
                as existing easements. Transfer of the Property will also include
                transfer
                of any and all assessments, reports, geological and sample data and
                any
                other information or data that has been collected or produced and
                is in
                the possession or owned by WCM. 

            

    

     

    The
      Vendor will also transfer all appurtenances attached to the Property and all
      equipment used in and regarding the operations at the Property, as listed in
      Schedule B to this Agreement, including without limitation the cash reclamation
      bond of approximately $45,900 which the Vendor has put up for reclamation of
      the
      Property. The term “Property” will for the purpose of this Agreement include all
      transferred assets as listed on Schedules A and B. 

    The
      Vendor will transfer the Property directly to GSA or to any assignee of GSA,
      in
      GSA’s discretion. The Property will be transferred free and clear of all
      liabilities, except as indicated in this Agreement. 

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    After
      conducting due diligence, GSA or its assigns may in their discretion purchase
      all the issued and outstanding shares of White Cliff Mining Inc. from Atlas
      Mining Corporation and in such event, the Vendors will co-operate to ensure
      that
      White Cliff Mining Inc. at the time of sale holds the Properties free and clear
      of liabilities, on the same terms as are otherwise set out in this Agreement.
      

     

    Consideration

     

     

    
      	
              2.

            	
              In
                payment for the sale and transfer of the Property to GSA , on Closing
                (defined below), GSA will pay to the Vendor the sum of $225,000 (the
                “Purchase Price”). 

            

    

     

    

    Deposit

     

    
      	
              3.

            	
              GSA
                will pay to the Vendor the sum of $15,000 (the “Deposit”) which sum will
                be used as a non-refundable deposit and will form a portion of the
                purchase price on Closing. Upon acceptance of the Deposit GSA will
                have 60
                days to close the Sale Transaction. GSA may obtain a further 45 day
                extension to close by paying a further non-refundable deposit of
                $10,000
                (the “Further Deposit”). 

            

    

     

    In
      the
      event that GSA does not complete the Sale Transaction for any reason other
      than
      breach of a representation or agreement by the Vendor, this Agreement will
      terminate and the Vendor’s sole remedy will be to retain the Deposit and if
      already delivered to the Vendor, the Further Deposit. 

     

    Closing

     

     

    
      	
              4.

            	
              Closing
                of the Sale Transaction (the "Closing") will occur on the first business
                day after the 60th day from execution of this Agreement by both parties,
                or 45 days later as per section 3, or on such other date as the parties
                may agree. Closing will be held at the City of Tucson, Arizona, in
                the
                offices of GSA at 11 A.M., or at such other place and time as the
                parties
                may agree.

       Default
      and Termination.

    

    (a) Default.
      Provider shall be in default under this Agreement if either of the following
      occur: (i) Provider or any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents
      fails to perform or fulfill any term, covenant, or condition contained in this
      Agreement and Provider fails to cure such default within three (3) business
      days
      after Provider has been served with written notice of such default; or (ii)
      Provider makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. SMG shall
      be
      in default under this Agreement if SMG fails to perform or fulfill any term,
      covenant, or condition contained in this Agreement and SMG fails to cure such
      default within three (3) business days after SMG has been served with written
      notice of such default. SMG shall not be deemed to be in default under this
      Agreement if SMG fails to pay any of the fees due hereunder as a result of
      Provider’s default under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as
      excusing either party from diligently commencing and completing a cure within
      a
      lesser time if reasonably possible. 

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) Termination.
      

    

    (i) Upon
      a
      default pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, the nonbreaching party may, at its
      option, upon written notice or demand upon the other party, cancel and terminate
      this Agreement. 

    

    (ii) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, SMG shall have the right to terminate
      this Agreement upon ten (10) days written notice to Provider, in the event
      that
      the Management Agreement terminates for any reason whatsoever. In such event,
      Provider shall be entitled to be paid for its Services rendered hereunder
      through the date of such termination. 

    

    6.
       Insurance.
      

    

    (a)
       Provider
      shall, at its own expense, secure and deliver to SMG not less than thirty (30)
      days prior to the commencement of this Agreement and shall keep in force at
      all
      times during the term of this Agreement: 

    

    (i) a
      commercial general liability insurance policy in form acceptable to SMG covering
      the Services being provided hereunder in an amount not less than Five Million
      Dollars ($5,000,000) for bodily injury and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)
      for
      property damage; 

    

    (ii)
       commercial
      automotive bodily injury and property damage insurance in form acceptable to
      SMG
      for business use covering all vehicles operated by Provider, its officers,
      directors, agents, and employees in connection with the Services, whether owned
      by Provider, SMG, or otherwise, with a combined single limit of not less than
      Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (including
      an extension of hired and non-owned coverage); [and] 

    

    (iii)
       applicable
      workers compensation insurance for Provider’s employees, as required by
      applicable law; and

    

    (iv) professional
      liability insurance with coverage of at least Five Million Dollars
      ($5,000,000.00) for claims of negligent errors, acts or omissions by Provider.
      

    

    (b)
       The
      following shall apply to the insurance policies described in clauses (i) and
      (ii) above: 

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (i) SMG
      and
      Owner shall be named as additional insureds thereunder. Not less than thirty
      (30) days prior to the commencement of this Agreement, Provider shall deliver
      to
      SMG certificates of insurance evidencing the existence thereof, all in such
      form
      as SMG may reasonably require. Each such policy or certificate shall contain
      a
      valid provision or endorsement stating, “This policy will not be canceled or
      materially changed or altered without first giving thirty (30) days’ written
      notice thereof to each of SMG, Risk Management Director, 701 Market Street,
      4th
      Floor,
      Philadelphia, PA, 19106, and P.O. Box 5169, Baton Rouge, LA 70821.” If any of
      the insurance policies covered by the foregoing certificates of insurance will
      expire prior to the expiration of this Agreement, Provider shall deliver to
      SMG
      at least twenty (20) days prior to such expiration a certificate of insurance
      evidencing the renewal of such policy or policies.

    

    (ii) The
      coverage provided under such policies shall be occurrence-based, not claims
      made.

    

    (iii) The
      coverage limits on such policies shall be on a per-occurrence basis and, to
      the
      extent that the coverage under any such policy contains an aggregate limit,
      the
      amount of such aggregate limit shall be at least twice the coverage limit
      provided on a per-occurrence basis under the same policy. In the event any
      such
      policy contains an aggregate limit, Provider shall be required to notify SMG
      immediately, in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement, of
      the
      existence of (1) any outstanding claims having an alleged value and, if
      applicable, any accrued, outstanding defense costs related thereto, which
      individually or in the aggregate equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%)
      of
      the aggregate limit of such policy, and (2) any claims and defense costs related
      thereto that have been paid out under any such policy, where such payments
      in
      the aggregate equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate limit
      under such policy. In either event described in clause (1) or (2) above,
      Provider shall purchase, and shall promptly notify SMG no later than
      contemporaneously with the delivery of the above notice that Provider has
      purchased, additional insurance to restore the aggregate amount of coverage
      originally provided thereunder, and Provider shall deliver to SMG,
      contemporaneously with the delivery of the above notice, a certificate of
      insurance (which satisfies the requirements of this Section 6), evidencing
      the
      maintenance of such additional insurance. Should Provider fail to obtain such
      additional coverage and to provide evidence thereof to SMG, SMG shall have
      the
      right, at its sole option, to terminate this Agreement immediately or at such
      other time as SMG may specify.

    

    (iv) Provider
      hereby acknowledges that the coverage limits contained in any policy, whether
      such limits are per occurrence or in the aggregate, shall in no way limit the
      liabilities or obligations of Provider under this Agreement, including, without
      limitation, Provider’s indemnification obligations under Section 7
      below.

    

    (c)
       The
      terms
      of all insurance policies referred to in this Section 6 shall preclude
      subrogation claims against SMG and Owner and their respective officers,
      directors, employees, and agents. 

    

    7.
       Indemnification.

    

    (a) Provider
      shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SMG, Owner, and their respective
      officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all losses,
      liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable costs of
      investigation and attorneys’ fees) (collectively, the “Losses”)
      arising from (i) Provider’s failure to comply with any and all federal, state,
      foreign, local, and municipal regulations, ordinances, statutes, rules, laws,
      and constitutional provisions (collectively, the “Laws”)
      applicable to Provider’s performance of this Agreement, (ii) any unlawful acts
      on the part of Provider or its officers, directors, agents, employees, or
      subProviders, (iii) personal or bodily injury to or death of persons or damage
      to the property of SMG or Owner to the extent caused by the negligent acts,
      errors, and/or omissions or the willful misconduct of Provider or its officers,
      directors, agents, employees, or subProviders, or (iv) the material breach
      or
      default by Provider or its officers, directors, agents, employees, or
      subProviders of any provisions of this Agreement.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) The
      provisions set forth in subparagraph (a) above shall survive the termination
      of
      this Agreement. 

    

    8.
       Taxes.
      Each
      party agrees to report and pay its own taxes imposed on its income by any
      jurisdiction, including, without limitation, state and federal income
      taxes.

    

    9.
       Review
      and Audit Privileges.
      Provider shall keep and preserve, during the term of this Agreement and for
      at
      least three (3) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
      full and accurate books and records (collectively, the “Records”)
      relating to the Services it provides to SMG hereunder. Provider shall give
      SMG
      and its designated representatives (which representatives may include, without
      limitation, independent auditors) access to the Records during such period
      of
      time to review and/or audit the Records, from time to time, upon request.
      Provider shall also provide, at Provider’s own expense, copies of all or a
      portion of the Records when so requested by SMG. In the event any audit
      conducted by an independent auditor demonstrates a variance of more than five
      percent (5%) on an annual basis in the amount determined by such auditor to
      be
      payable to Provider for any of the Services hereunder and the amount actually
      paid to Provider for such Services, Provider shall pay to SMG the reasonable
      cost of such audit. In any event, Provider shall promptly pay to SMG the amount
      of any such variance which results in an overpayment by SMG to
      Provider.

    

    10.

      for
      reference and in no way are intended to be a part of this Agreement or to
      define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement or the

    (j)
       Successors.
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to, the benefit of the
      successors and assigns of SMG, and to such successors and assigns of Provider
      as
      are permitted to succeed to the Provider’s right upon and subject to the terms
      hereof.

    

    (k)
       Independent
      Provider; No Partnership.
      SMG and
      Provider shall each be and remain an independent Provider with respect to all

      nor shall this Agreement be construed to create a partnership or joint venture
      between and of the parties hereto or referred to herein.

    

    (l)

    13. Miscellaneous.
      

    

    (a) Waiver.
      The
      failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, or
      any
      rights with respect hereto, or the failure to exercise any election provided
      for
      herein, will in no way be considered a waiver of such provisions, rights, or
      elections, or in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The failure
      of
      any party to enforce any of such provisions, rights, or elections will not
      prejudice such party from later enforcing or exercising the same or any other
      provisions, rights, or elections which it may have under this
      Agreement.

    

    (b) Assignment.
      Neither
      this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned
      or
      transferred in any manner whatsoever by Provider without the prior written
      consent of SMG. SMG shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations
      hereunder to Owner or to any other management company retained by Owner to
      manage the Facility, and in such event, SMG shall have no further liability
      to
      Provider hereunder for the performance of any obligations or duties arising
      after the date of such assignment.

    

    (c) Notices.
      Any
      notice, consent, or other communication given pursuant to this Agreement shall

      the
      party for whom intended, (ii) upon delivery by an overnight courier service
      that
      is generally recognized as reliable, and the written records maintained by
      the
      courier shall be prima facie evidence of delivery, or (iii) on delivery (or
      attempted delivery) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
      postage prepaid, as of the date shown by the return receipt; in any case
      addressed to such party as set forth below or as a party may designate by
      written notice given to the other party in accordance herewith.

    (d) Cooperation/Mediation.

    

    (i) The
      parties desire to cooperate with each other in the performance of their
      respective duties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement . In keeping with
      this
      cooperative spirit and intent, any dispute arising hereunder will first be
      referred to the parties’ respective agents or representatives prior to either
      party initiating a legal suit, who will endeavor in good faith to resolve any
      such disputes within the limits of their authority and within ten (10) days
      after the commencement of such discussions. If and only if any dispute remains
      unresolved after the parties have followed the dispute resolution procedure
      set
      forth above and if the parties mutually agree to submit such dispute to
      mediation, then the matter will be resolved pursuant to Section 13(d)(ii) and
      (iii) below; otherwise, either party can initiate litigation or terminate this
      Agreement as provided in Section 5 hereof.

    

    (ii) If
      any
      dispute between the parties has not been resolved pursuant to Section 13(d)(i)
      above, the parties will endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation under the
      then current Center for Public Resources (“CPR”)
      model
      procedure for mediation of business disputes or, if such model procedure no
      longer exists, some other mutually agreeable procedure. Within ten (10) business
      days from the date that the parties cease direct negotiations pursuant to
      Section 13(d)(i) above, SMG shall select a neutral third party mediator, who
      shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Provider. Each party will bear
      its own cost of mediation; provided,
      however,
      the
      cost charged by any independent third party mediator will be borne equally
      by
      the parties. 

    

    (iii) The
      parties agree that any mediation proceeding (as well as any discussion pursuant
      to Section 13(d)(i) above) will constitute settlement negotiations for purposes
      of the federal and state rules of evidence and will be treated as
      non-discoverable, confidential, and privileged communication by the parties
      and
      the mediator. No stenographic, visual, or audio record will be made of any
      mediation proceedings or such discussions. All conduct, statements, promises,
      offers, and opinions made in the course of the mediation or such discussion
      by
      any party, its agents, employees, representatives, or other invitees and by
      the
      mediator will not be discoverable nor admissible for any purposes in any
      litigation or other proceeding involving the parties and will not be disclosed
      to any third party. 

    

    (iv) The
      parties’ efforts to reach a settlement of any dispute will continue until the
      conclusion of the mediation proceeding. The mediation proceeding will be
      concluded when: (i) a written settlement agreement is executed by the parties;
      (ii) the mediator concludes and informs the parties in writing that further
      efforts to mediate the dispute would not be useful; or (iii) the parties agree
      in writing that an impasse has been reached. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      either party may withdraw from the mediation proceeding without liability
      therefor in the event such proceeding continues for more than forty-five (45)
      days from the commencement of such proceeding. For purposes of the preceding
      sentence, the proceeding will be deemed to have commenced following the
      completion of the selection of a mediator as provided in Section 13(d)(ii).

    (v) If
      any
      dispute has not been resolved pursuant to the foregoing, either party can
      initiate litigation and/or terminate this Agreement as provided in Section
      5
      herein. The procedure specified in this Section 13(d) shall be the sole and
      exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the parties arising
      out of or relating to this Agreement; provided,
      however,
      that a
      party, without prejudice to the above procedures, may file a complaint to seek
      a
      preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial relief, if in its sole
      discretion such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve
      the status quo. Despite such action, the parties will continue to participate
      in
      good faith in the procedures specified in this Section 13(d). 

    

    (vi) All
      applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time
      shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Section 13(d) are
      pending. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate
      such
      tolling. Each party shall be required to perform its obligations under this
      Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating
      to
      this Agreement, unless to do so would be impossible or impracticable under
      the
      circumstances. 

    

    (e) Force
      Majeure.
      If any
      casualty or unforeseeable cause beyond the control of SMG and the Owner,
      including, without limitation, acts of God, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
      restrictions, terrorist acts, strikes, failure of public utilities, or unusually
      severe weather, prevents the performance of this Agreement by SMG and Owner,
      SMG
      is hereby released by Provider from any damage so caused thereby.

    

    (f)
       Property
      of SMG.
      To the
      extent that any materials are developed or prepared by Provider in connection
      with the performance of its obligations hereunder, then such materials shall
      be
      deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall be and remain the property
      of
      SMG at all times, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this
      Agreement at any time for any reason.

    

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed by the parties hereto
      as
      of the day and year first written above.
