              LINCOLN
      hereby agrees to pay to North Bay the sum of $12,500 CDN upon execution of
      this Agreement, such payment not to be refunded to LINCOLN under any
      circumstances.  Of this amount, $2,500 CDN shall be deducted as

              (b)  

            	
              It
      is mutually agreed by the parties that any cash payments to North Bay
      shall be deducted from any net revenue generated from the JV Lands, the
      net profits of which shall be divided equally between North Bay and
      LINCOLN on a 50/50 basis.

            

    

     

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              COMMITMENT

            

    

     

    LINCOLN
agrees to expend up to one million five hundred thousand Dollars ($1,500,000
CDN) over three years as exploration expenditures, exclusive of tax thereon, on
the JV Lands, with the first year to be a minimum of $250,000 CDN.

     

    It is
further agreed that LINCOLN shall re-imburse North Bay for any claim renewal
fees due to the Province of British Columbia during the term of the
agreement.

              DEFAULT

            

    

     

    Should
LINCOLN default under this Agreement then North Bay will provide written notice
to LINCOLN with specific details of such defaults or failures.  After
receiving said notice, LINCOLN shall have 60 days to remedy such default. Should
LINCOLN fail to remedy the default within the 60 day period, LINCOLN shall
forfeit any rights it has to the JV Lands and this Agreement shall be
terminated.

both LINCOLN and North Bay elect to allow title to the JV Lands to lapse by
failure to pay British Columbia maintenance fees, both parties shall forfeit any
rights to the JV Lands and this Agreement shall be terminated, at no penalty to
either party.

geological aspects of the JV Lands.  Any such conclusions are the
product of LINCOLN’s own due diligence, of which it bears sole
responsibility.

AGREEMENT

WHEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

	
1.  
	
MB hereby agrees to cancel the Notes, related warrants and the Debt without repayment, including the repayment of any and all principal amounts underneath the Notes and the Debt, as well as to waive and cancel all past, present and future accrued interest amounts that may have been due under the Notes and the Debt. All the terms and conditions of the Notes,

or sold in the United States or, directly or indirectly, to U.S. Persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933), except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and in each case only in accordance with applicable state and federal securities laws.

MB AND FLINT ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, MB AND FLINT HAVE VOLUNTARILY ELECTED TO ARBITRATE ALL ARBITRABLE CLAIMS RATHER THAN LITIGATE THEM IN A JUDICIAL FORUM
AND THAT YOU AND FLINT ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO A TRIAL IN A COURT OF LAW.

	
7.  
	
This is the entire Agreement regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous discussions, negotiations, agreements and understandings. No other promises or agreements have been made.

	
8.  
	
In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and the unenforceable provision(s) shall be interpreted and rewritten to give effect to the parties’ economic intentions.

any representation made by the Flint or any of its employees or representatives regarding the Agreement’s subject matter and/or effect. MB has read and fully understands this Agreement and voluntarily agrees to its terms.

	
10.  
	
This Agreement may be executed via facsimile in counterparts, and each facsimile counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.
