                                LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

                                ___________, 2003

Gilford Securities Incorporated
850 Third Avenue
Suite 1400
New York, NY 10022
Attn: Managing Director of Corporate Finance

Gentlemen:

     The undersigned (the "SECURITYHOLDER") understands that Gilford Securities
Incorporation (the "Managing Agent"), has entered into a letter of intent (the
"LETTER OF INTENT") with Natural Golf Corporation (the "COMPANY"), pursuant to
which the Managing Agent confirmed its intent to act as the managing agent in
connection with a proposed public offering, whether in the form of a "best
efforts" or "firm commitment" (the "OFFERING") of shares of common stock (the
"COMMON STOCK") to be issued by the Company.

1. In consideration of the Managing Agent entering into the Letter of Intent and
   agreeing to incur expenses thereunder, and for other good and valuable
   consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
   the Securityholder agrees that the Securityholder will not, without the prior
   written consent of the Managing Agent, directly or indirectly offer, sell,
   pledge, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to
   purchase, enter into any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or transfer
   any shares of Common Stock (including without limitation, any shares of
   Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the
   Securityholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
   and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), any shares of Common Stock which may be
   issued upon exercise of any stock options or warrants or upon conversion or
   exchange of any convertible or exchangeable securities) or any debentures,
   rights, warrants, options or other securities that are convertible into, or
   exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock (collectively, "RIGHTS") or
   enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) (each of the foregoing
   referred to as a "DISPOSITION") for a period beginning on the date hereof and
   continuing through and including the date which is the date eleven (11)
   months from the initial closing date of the Offering (the "LOCK-UP PERIOD").
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-up Period shall not be longer than
   thirty (30) days less than the shortest lock-up period agreed to by any
   officer or director of the Company in connection with this Offering, and no
   officer or director of the Company shall be released from any such lock-up
   agreement unless the Securityholder first has been released from the Lock-Up
   Period. The foregoing restriction is expressly intended to preclude the
   Securityholder from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction
   which is designed to or is reasonably expected to lead to or result in a
   Disposition during the Lock-Up Period even if the securities would be
   disposed of by someone other than the Securityholder. "Hedging Transaction"
   means any short sale (whether or not against the

<Page>

   box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without
   limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any security (other than
   a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives
   any significant part of its value from the Common Stock or any Rights. The
   foregoing restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall apply to all shares
   of Common Stock and all Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by the
   Securityholder, except that such restrictions shall not apply to shares of
   Common Stock and Rights acquired in open market transactions after the
   completion of the Offering.

2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholder may transfer any or all of
   the Securityholder's Common Stock or Rights (i) if the Securityholder is a
   natural person, by gift, will or intestacy so long as the transfer is not for
   value; (ii) if the Securityholder is a natural person, to any trust for the
   direct or indirect benefit of the Securityholder or the immediate family of
   the Securityholder so long as the transfer is not for value; (iii) if the
   Securityholder is a partnership, to a partner of such partnership or a
   retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof so long
   as the transfer is not for value; and (iv) if the Securityholder is a
   corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership to any of its
   wholly-owned subsidiaries; provided, however, that in any such case it shall
   be a condition to the transfer that, prior to or concurrently with such
   transfer, the transferee executes and delivers to the Managing Agent an
   agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Agent, stating
   that the transferee is receiving and agrees to hold the Common Stock or
   Rights, as the case may be, subject to the provisions of this letter
   agreement, and there shall be no further transfer of such Common Stock or
   Rights, as the case may be, except in accordance with this letter agreement.
   For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any
   relationship by blood, marriage, or adoption, not more remote than first
   cousin.

3. Without limiting the restrictions herein, any Disposition by the
   Securityholder shall remain at all times subject to applicable securities
   laws, including without limitation the resale restrictions imposed by Rule
   144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

4. The Securityholder hereby agrees that, to the extent that the terms of this
   letter agreement conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any
   registration rights agreement or similar agreement to which the
   Securityholder is a party or under which the Securityholder is entitled to
   any right or benefit, this letter agreement supersedes such registration
   rights agreement or similar agreements.

5. The Securityholder understands that the Company and the Managing Agent intend
   to proceed with the Offering in reliance on this letter agreement.

6. This letter agreement shall immediately terminate, and the Securityholder
   shall have no further obligations, nor shall the Managing Agent have any
   further rights, under this letter agreement, if either (i) the Letter of
   Intent is terminated at any time or (ii) a registration statement in
   connection with the Offering shall not have been declared effective by the
   SEC on or before June 30, 2004.

7. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
   internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of
   laws principles thereof. The parties

   hereto hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly
   and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement, shall be brought
   solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of
   New York. By its execution hereof, the parties hereby covenant and
   irrevocably submit to the IN PERSONAM jurisdiction of the federal and state
   courts located in the City, County and State of New York and agree that any
   process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by
   certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt
   requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon
   them in New York City. The parties hereto waive any claim that any such
   jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and
   any defense or lack of IN PERSONAM jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the
   event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be
   entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel
   fees and disbursements.

8. The Securityholder hereby represents and warrants that the Securityholder has
   full power and authority to enter into this letter agreement and that this
   letter agreement has been duly authorized (if applicable), executed and
   delivered by the Securityholder and is a valid and binding agreement of the
   Securityholder. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred
   shall survive the death or incapacity of the Securityholder and any
   obligations of the Securityholder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal
   representatives, successors and assigns of the Securityholder.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             -----------------------------------

1. THE PLAN.

The purpose of the Avalon Gold Corporation's (the Company) 2003 Stock Incentive
and Option Plan (the Plan) is to provide the Company with the means of
attracting and retaining the services of highly motivated and qualified
directors and key personnel.

The Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company and its
stockholders by affording to key employees, consultants and non-employee
directors, upon whose skill, judgment, initiative, and efforts the Company is
largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business, an opportunity for
investment in the Company and incentives inherent in stock ownership in the
Company. The term Company shall include all subsidiaries of the Company.

2. LEGAL COMPLIANCE.

It is the intent of the Plan that it conform in all respects with the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Rule 16b-3) or, in connection with Incentive
Stock/Options (ISOs), as such term is defined in Section 422 (a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) as mentioned from time to time.  If any aspect
of the Plan does not conform to Section 422 (a) of the Code, as amended from
time to time, such aspect shall be deemed to be modified, deleted, or otherwise
changed as necessary to insure continued compliance with such provisions.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

3.1 PLAN COMMITTEE:  The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the
Committee).  The members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time
by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) and shall consist of not
less than two (2) nor more than five (5) persons.

3.2 COMMITTEE PROCEDURES:  The Committee from time to time may adopt such rules
and regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan as it may deem proper
and in the best interests of the company.  The committee shall keep minutes of
its meetings and records of its actions.  A Majority of the members of the
committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business by the
Committee.  The Committee may act at any time by an affirmative vote of a
majority of those members voting.  Such vote may be taken at a meeting which may
be conducted in person, telephonically, or by written consent of all Committee
members without a meeting.

previously approved compensation plan(s), program(s) or option(s) entered into
by the Company.  This Plan shall be construed to be in addition to and
independent of any and all such other arrangements.  Neither the adoption of the
Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the Stockholders of the
Company for approval shall be construed as creating limitations on the power or
authority of the Board to adopt, with or without stockholder approval, such
additional or other compensation arrangements as the Board may from time to time
deem desirable.
