EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT    
    

        AGREEMENT made as of the 17th day of September, 2001, between THE DOE RUN RESOURCES CORPORATION, a New York corporation, doing business in Missouri under the
trade name "The Doe Run Company" (herein called the "Company"), with its principal office at 1801 Park 270 Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63146 and Jerry L. Pyatt ("Employee"). 

W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS,
Employee has for some years been employed by the Company or a predecessor, and Company desires to continue to employee the Employee and Employee desires to continue to be
employed by the Company, all on the terms hereof; 

        In
consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is hereby agreed as follows: 

        1.    Terms and Duties.    

        Commencing
on the date of this Agreement and continuing until October 31, 2002, unless sooner terminated or extended as herein provided (the "Employment Term"), the company shall
continue to employ the Employee as its Vice President Domestic Operations and Chief Operating Officer for Domestic Operations. During the Employment Term the Employee shall continue to devote all of
his business time and his best efforts to the business of the Company, and its subsidiaries, as may be necessary to perform his duties hereunder, in accordance with the policies, procedures, business
plans and budgets from time to time established by the Board of Directors, and Chairman of the Board and the President and shall not have any other business affiliations. Employee hereby accepts
continued employment hereunder. 

        2.    Compensation.    

        In
full compensation for the services to be rendered by the Employee to the Company and its subsidiaries hereunder, during the Employment Term, the Company will pay the Employee, and the
Employee shall accept: 

        (a)   a
basic annual salary of $200,000 for each employment year of the Employment Term payable in installments not less frequently than monthly, and increased as the Board of
Directors may, from time to time, determine in its discretion; plus 

        (b)   for
each fiscal year (November 1 to October 31) of the Company ending during the employment of the Employee, a year end bonus of not less than $30,000 nor
more than $60,000 as may be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, provided that the Employee is in the Employ of the Company at the close of
such year and the Company shall not have incurred a net loss before taxes for such fiscal year determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles followed by the Company in
preparing its audited balance sheet as of the date of this Agreement but before giving effect to this clause (b), and to like provisions in any other employment agreement to which the Company
is a party. The bonus for each fiscal year shall, if due, be paid as promptly as practicable after the independent accountants for the Company shall have determined, and reported in writing, as to
whether the Company had a net loss within the meaning of this clause (b) for such year; plus 

        (c)   a
stay bonus of $100,000 Dollars payable November 1, 2002. You must continue your employment with Employer through the time of the payment or payments, as the
case may be, in order to receive the stay bonus, unless you are dismissed from your employment without cause. If you are dismissed from your employment without cause at any point prior to payment in
full of the stay bonus, you would be entitled to the amount of the unpaid stay bonus at that time. 

        (d)   such
additional amounts, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine from time to time in its discretion.

        3.    Place of Employment.    

        The
Employee's regular place of employment during the Employment Term shall be at the principal executive office of the Company in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. The Employee
may not be required to relocate without his consent. 

        4.    Travel: Expenses.    

        The
Employee shall engage in such travel as may reasonably be required in connection with the performance of his duties, in accordance with prior practice. 

        All
reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by the Employee (in accordance with the policies of the Company established from time to time) in carrying out his duties hereunder will
be reimbursed by the Company on presentation of it of expense accounts and appropriate documentation in accordance with the customary procedures of the Company for reimbursement of executive expenses.
The Employee shall be entitled to a travel expense advance in the discretion of the Company when anticipated travel warrants such advance. 

        5.    Early Termination of Employment Term on Disability or Death.    

        (a)   If
during the Employment Term, the Employee fails because of illness or other incapacity (including incapacity because of substance abuse) to render the Company the
services required of him hereunder for a period of two months (during which the Company shall continue the Employee's compensation at the rates herein provided), the Company may, in its
discretion, give one month notice of termination of the Employment Term (during which the Employee's compensation shall likewise be continued), and if the Employee shall not resume full performance of
his duties within such one month period, the employment Term shall terminate at the expiration thereof, provided that any such termination shall not affect the right of the Employee (or his estate) to
continue to receive benefits under any disability insurance plan or program covering the Employee which is in effect at the date of termination, and further provided that if any such termination shall
be during a fiscal year and the Company shall not have a net loss before income taxes determined as provided in paragraph 2(b) for such fiscal year, the Employee shall be entitled to a
pro-rata portion of the minimum bonus of such year based on the number of full months worked by him such year. 

        (b)   The
Employment Term shall end upon the death of the Employee, provided that (i) if the Employee shall die during a fiscal year, and the Company shall not have a
net loss, determined as provided in paragraph 2(b), for such fiscal year, the Employee shall be entitled to a pro-rata portion of the minimum bonus for such year, based on the
number of full months worked by him during such year. 

        6.    Vacation.    

        During
the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled to vacation periods in accordance with previously agree-to vacation entitlement or with the Vacation Policy for St.
Louis Office
Employees, to be taken at such time or times as shall be mutually convenient to the Company and Employee (but not more than two weeks consecutively except as may be specifically approved by the
President). Unused vacation shall not accumulate from year to year. 

        7.    Confidentially: Competition.    

        (a)   For
the purposes hereof, all confidential information about the business and affairs of the Company (including, without limitation, business plans, financial and
marketing information and information about its secrets and machinery, designs, plans, patterns and specifications, formulae, processes, inventions and discoveries, and names of suppliers and
customers and nature of dealings with them) constitute "Company Confidential Information." For some years, the Employee has been a senior officer of the Company or a predecessor. He acknowledges that
he has in the past had, and will continue to have, access to and knowledge of Company Confidential Information, and that improper use or revelation of same by the Employee during or after the
termination of

his employment by the Company could cause serious injury to the business of the Company. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that he will forever keep secret and inviolate all Company Confidential
Information which shall have come or shall hereafter come into his possession, and that he will not use the same for his own private benefit, or directly or indirectly for the benefit of others, and
that he will not disclose such Company Confidential Information to any other person. 

        (b)   During
the Employment Term, the Employee will not (whether as an officer, director, partner, proprietor, investor, associate, employee, consultant, adviser, public
relations or advertising representative or otherwise), directly or indirectly, be engaged in any aspect of the business of lead mining, milling, recycling or sale within the continental United States
(which the parties acknowledge is the Company's trading area). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Employee shall be deemed to be engaged in any business which any person for whom he shall
perform services is engaged. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit the Employee from owning, as a passive investment, a security of any issuer which is not a supplier, vendor; customer
or competitor of the Company. 

        (c)   Within
the terms of this Agreement, it is intended to limit disclosure and competition by the Employee to the maximum extent permitted by law. If it shall be finally
determined by any court of competent jurisdiction ruling on this Agreement that the scope or duration of any limitation contained in this paragraph 7 is too extensive to be legally enforceable,
then the parties hereby agree that the scope and duration (not greater than that provided for herein) of such limitation shall be the maximum scope and duration which shall be legally enforceable and
the Employee hereby consents to the enforcement of such limitation as so modified. 

        (d)   The
Employee acknowledges that any violation by him of the provisions of this paragraph 7 could cause serious and irreparable damages to the Company. He further
acknowledges that it might not be possible to measure such damages in money. Accordingly, the Employee further acknowledges that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by him of the provision
of this paragraph 7, the Company may seek in addition to any other rights or remedies, including money damages, an injunction or restraining order, restraining the Employee from doing or
continuing to do or perform any acts constituting such breach or threatened breach. 

        8.    Employee's Inventions.    

        The
Employee agrees to assign and transfer to the Company, its successors and assigns, his entire right, title and interest in and to any or all inventions, designs, discoveries and
improvements which he may make, either solely or jointly with others, during the Employment Term hereunder and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, which relate in any way to the business
or products of the Company, together with all rights to letters patent which may be granted thereon. Immediately upon making any intentions, designs, discoveries or improvements, the Employee shall
notify the Company and, without further compensation, shall executive and deliver to the Company such documents as may be necessary to prepare or prosecute applications for patents upon such
inventions, designs, discoveries and improvements, and shall assign and transfer to the Company his entire right, title and interest therein. The Company shall pay all expenses involved in carrying
out the provisions of this paragraph 8. 

        9.    Benefits.    

        The
Company agrees to provide to the Employee during the Employment Term the retirement plan, 401(k) Savings Plan, medical, hospitalization, dental, life and AD&D, disability
coverage, as well as the executive auto allowance program and other benefits as may be provided to the employees of the Company. 

        10.    Employee's Representation    

        Employee
hereby represents to the Company that he has full right and power to enter into his Agreement and carry out his duties hereunder, and that same will not constitute a breach of
or default under any employment, confidentiality, non-competition or other agreement by which he may be bound.

        11.    Default by Employee.    

        If
the Employee shall: 

	(i)
	commit
an act of dishonesty against the Company or fraud upon the Company; or

	(ii)
	breach
his obligations under this Agreement and fail to cure such breach within five (5) days after written notice thereof; or

	(iii)
	be
convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude; or

	(iv)
	fail
or neglect diligently to perform his duties hereunder and continue in his failure after written notice; 

then,
and in any such case, the Company may terminate the employment of the Employee hereunder and, in the event of any such termination, the Employee shall no longer have any right to any and all
benefits (including future salary payments), which would otherwise have accrued after such termination. 

        12.    Automatic Renewal.    

        This
Agreement shall automatically renew and be extended from year to year upon the expiration of the Employment Term (as extended if extended) unless terminated by either party by
written notice given to the other at least three months prior to its termination date. If any such notice shall be given, this Agreement shall terminate on the next succeeding October 31. 

        13.    Successors.    

        The
rights, benefits, duties and obligation under this Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns and upon the Employee and his legal
representative, legatees and
heirs. It is specifically understood, however, that this Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by the Employee. The Company may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, or by written instruction to a successor or surviving corporation resulting from a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock, or other corporate
reorganization, on condition that he assignee shall assume all the Company's obligation hereunder (but nevertheless the Company shall remain liable hereunder) and it is agreed that such successor or
surviving corporation shall continue to be obligated to perform the provisions of this Agreement. 

        14.    Notices    

        Notices
