Please
note that the number of days charged for the helicopter will depend on the number of helicopter hours needed to meet the monthly
minimum helicopter hours, adjusted for the hours actually flown up until the Force Majeure event, and any subsequent utilization
of the helicopter in that monthly period. In this case, the helicopter contract is based on 50 hour minimums per month.

 

If
damages are incurred to the helicopter and or survey equipment by terrorist acts or other similar incidents, then the days will
be billable during repairs up to a maximum of 14 days.

C6.Flight
Specifications

 

C6.1.
   Flight Lines

 

Line
directions and line spacings are specified in Schedule B, but may be subject to change and will therefore be confirmed between
MPX's and Client's representative immediately prior to the commencement of the survey operations. Any such changes
will not unduly effect efficient collection of data.

 

C6.2.
    Terrain Clearances

 

Optimum
terrain clearances for the helicopter and instrumentation during normal survey flying are:

 

			

	Helicopter	-	70 metres
	Magnetometer	-	70 metres
	Gamma Spectrometer	-	70 metres

 

The
pilot will make every sensible effort to fly accurate terrain clearances, however, it is accepted that aircraft terrain clearance
may vary, based on the pilot's judgement of safe flying conditions around man-made structures or in rugged terrain where aviation
laws may require a higher flight altitude. Taking into account the above safety considerations and pilot judgement, MPX will
do its best to conduct the survey with an altitude tolerance of +-20m, trying not to exceed +/- 20m over a distance of more than
1 km.

 

C6.3.
    Airspeed

 

Normal
aircraft airspeed will be approximately 70kts, but this may vary in areas of rugged terrain. With a sampling rate of 1 second,
spectrometer measurements are acquired approximately every 36 metres along the survey line. With a sampling rate of 10 times per
second, magnetometer measurements are acquired every 3.6 metres along the survey line.

 

C6.4.
    Magnetic Diurnal

 

Flight
lines, or portions thereof, will be reflown if the magnetic diurnal exceeds 12 nT in a straight-line chord over 5 minutes. Survey
data acquisition will be stopped altogether in the case of severe magnetic diurnal activity.

 

C6.5.
     Reflights

 

Reflights
will be attempted whenever survey lines or part survey lines are noted in the field to be beyond the agreed tolerances.

 

The
flight lines will not deviate from the intended flight path by more than 50% of the nominal line spacing over a distance of more
than 1 km. All reflights will cross a minimum of two tie lines.

C7.Survey
Instruments

 

C7.1.
    Airborne High Sensitivity Magnetometer

 

The
magnetic sensor that will be utilized for the survey is a Scintrex CS-3 high resolution cesium split-beam total-field magnetometer
(see figure 4), which will be installed in a fixed boom. The sampling rate is ten (10) times per second with an in-flight
sensitivity of 0.002 nanoTesla (nT). Aerodynamic magnetometer noise is +/- 0.01 nT. The sensitivity of the magnetometer will be
recorded at 0.002 nT when operated at a sampling rate of 0.1 seconds.

 

 

Figure
4: Scintrex CS-3 Cesium Magnetometer

 

A
Cesium vapour magnetic sensor is a miniature atomic absorption unit, producing a signal whose frequency (Larmor frequency) is
proportional to the intensity of the ambient magnetic field. The unit consists of three main elements; a Cesium vapour lamp, an
absorption cell, and a photosensitive diode.

 

These
components are mounted along a common optical axis within the sensor housing. The electronic support system is mounted at the
rear of the towed bird or 1.5m from the sensor in a fixed boom configuration, transmitting the Larmor signal to a counter in the
data acquisition system then converted the signal to magnetic field strength in nanoTeslas.

C7.2.
     PC-based Data Acquisition System

 

Geophysical,
navigation and altimeter data will be recorded by the AGIS data acquisition system in the helicopter, at various recording rates
ranging from 10 Hz to 1 Hz (ten times per second to once per second).

 

Data
will be displayed on the computer LCD display as traces, in simulation of a chart recorder's traces, for verification of functionality
and quality.

 

On
completion of flying, the data recorded will be copied to back-up CD-ROM and transferred to the Field Workstation (described below)
where the data will be retrieved, verified and processed.

 

All
geophysical, positional, and ancillary sensor data measured during the survey are recorded digitally using a high-speed, precision
data acquisition system. Survey data can be monitored on a number of operator-selectable strip-chart traces available on the operators
display. The system does not produce paper charts.

1.5 m from 12 m – 30.5 m; ± 5% over a range of 30.5 m – 152.4 m; and 7% over a range of 152.4 m – 762
m. 

 

The
altimeter will be interfaced to the data acquisition system with the output sampled at 10Hz, and will be digitally recorded.

 

C7.4.
    Barometric Altimeter

 

A
Setra Model 276 Pressure Transducer (or equivalent) will record the barometric pressure to an accuracy of about 1 ft (30 cm).

 

The
altimeter will be interfaced to the data acquisition system with the output sampled at 10Hz, and will be digitally recorded.

 

C7.5.
    DGPS Navigation System

 

Survey
data positioning and flight line navigation will be derived using WAAS DGPS. Navigation is provided through an electronic pilot
navigation system, a digital screen mounted in the cockpit. The GPS positions are used to provide both aircraft navigation and
survey data location information.

Checks, Tests and Calibrations

  

C8.1.
    Manoeuvre noise

 

As
the magnetic gradient sensors, installed in the single sensor fixed boom, are still within the magnetic effect of the aircraft
structure, tests will be conducted prior to the survey to determine the effects of helicopter pitch, roll and yaw. The tests will
be completed at high altitude (ideally 10,000 ft above terrain AGL) over an area of low magnetic gradient by carrying out ±10o
rolls, ±5o pitches and ±5o yaw manoeuvres flown over
periods of at least 4-5 seconds in the same direction as the flight and tie lines. A compensation Figure-of-Merit (FOM) for the
helicopter will be calculated by summing the peak-to-peak amplitudes of the twelve magnetic signatures. The FOM is used as an
indicator of performance and should remain below the industry standard value of 2 nT for the sensor mounted in a helicopter stinger/boom.

 

C8.2.
    Magnetic Heading Effect

 

The
magnetic heading effect will be determined prior to the survey by flying a cloverleaf pattern oriented in the same direction as
the survey lines and tie lines at high level in an area with low magnetic gradient. At least two passes in each direction will
be flown in order to obtain sufficient statistical information to estimate the heading error. The heading error will be determined
at the beginning of the survey, and again if there are any modifications or additions to the aircraft or the equipment installed
in it.

C8.3.
     Lag Tests

 

A
lag test will have been performed before the survey to ascertain the time difference between the instrument readings and the operation
of the GPS System. Test lines are flown in two directions at survey altitude across distinct anomalies.

 

These
lag tests were carried out before the start of survey production flights, and will be repeated after any major survey equipment
alteration or replacement has been made.

 

C8.4.
    Altimeter Calibration Checks

 

Checks
of the radar altimeter calibration will have been undertaken before the survey, after installation of equipment in the aircraft.
The calibration is determined by comparing the radar altitude with a suitable reading from the GPS system during a radar “stack”
over the landing pad or a suitable level area where the height above sea-level (ASL) is accurately known.

 

C8.5.
    Gamma-Ray Spectrometry checks and tests 

 

a.Altitude
Attenuation Coefficient

Determination
of the altitude attenuation coefficient will have been undertaken prior to the survey by flying a test line at various altitudes
from 60 m up to 250 m at 30 m intervals above the test line. An airborne calibration range test line should have the following
features: (a) Be relatively flat; (b) Have uniform concentrations of K, U, and Th; (c) Be close to a body of water for measurement
of background (if a suitable body of water exists); (d) Be free of flight restrictions; (e) Be easy to navigate; (f) Be about
8 km long, equivalent to about 150 s flying time at 50m/s; (g) Have no hills within about 1 km of the flight line. The results
of this check will be digitally recorded, and will be compiled into tables and graphs to be presented to the Client in
the final report.  

 

b.Cosmic
Window Calibrations

Cosmic
window calibrations will have been carried out prior to the survey. This is normally performed by flying at various altitudes
over the ocean or any large body of water (250m and from 1,500 m up to 3,500 m at intervals of 300 m), with each altitude flown
for a minimum of 10 minutes. If a large body of water does not exist close to the survey area, this test can be performed over
the ground. The average values of the counts measured in each of the 4 windows (TC, U, Th and K) will be compared against the
average counts for the cosmic window at each of the altitudes where measurements are made. The results of this calibration will
be digitally recorded, and will be compiled into tables and graphs to be presented to the Client in the final report.

C8.6.
Gamma-Ray Spectrometry Limitations 

 

The
presence of powerlines and/or steep topography may compromise the quality of the radiometric data. We will proceed and try to
acquire good radiometric data, but we will not be able to guarantee the accuracy of data obtained at large heights above the terrain
(100m+).  Ideally the terrain clearance should be maintained at 70m, but topography and safety considerations may be limiting
factors for this airborne survey.  For example, the presence of electrical powerlines forces the pilot to fly at greater
heights in order to guarantee the safety of all personnel onboard.   

 

C9.
    Safety Procedures

 

For
the duration of the work, MPX will ensure that the work performed is carried out with the utmost regard for safety, and
that all its personnel are fully conversant with safety standards considered normal in the aviation industry. MPX’s
Project Manager will review and establish safety procedures with the Pilot and will specifically ensure that all crew members
are aware of emergency and radio communications procedures.

 

During
the course of the Survey, MPX shall keep the site of any refuelling areas free of accumulations of waste materials, rubbish
or garbage and upon completion of the Survey shall remove all tools, fuel, fuel drums, surplus materials, rubbish and garbage
and leave the refuelling sites in a clean condition.

 

The
pilots are ultimately responsible for the safety of each flight but, if at any time anyone in the aircraft has a question
about location, intention, or safety, the pilot must use every effort to address the concerns and resolve the question, without
compromising the safety of the flight. If a crewmember is not satisfied with the pilot’s response or actions the crew member
may request that the pilot terminate the flight and return to the base of operations. The pilot will comply with this request
and any disagreement or discrepancy will be resolved on the ground.

 

The
Project Manager will conduct weekly safety / operations briefings with the crew. These briefings will consist of the following:

QUALITY
CONTROL/ DATA PROCESSING

  

D1.
    QUALITY CONTROL

 

Daily
quality control of newly acquired airborne data will be undertaken in the field by MPX’s technologist, and will also
be transmitted on a daily basis via the internet and an ftp-site to MPX’s data processing facility in Markham.
Quality control information may then be confirmed by MPX and relayed back to the field crew on a regular basis.

 

D2.
    DATA PROCESSING

 

D2.1
    Topographic Base and Title of Survey Area

 

A
topographic base will be prepared for the survey areas from a DTM (or by scanning the relevant topographic maps) covering the
survey area, and plotting the major features (large lakes, major rivers, towns, etc.) as background on to the geophysical maps.
All title blocks and surround data appearing on the base maps will be machine drafted using CAD techniques.

 

D2.2
     Flight Path Compilation

 

The
flight path will be derived from the differentially corrected GPS navigation data.

 

D2.3       Magnetic
Data

 

The
magnetic data are first corrected for diurnal variations, lag and heading effects. The data will be further analyzed using tie-line
data. Control-line levelling is applied to the tie-line data. Final micro-levelling techniques are then applied to the data to
remove minor residual variations in profile intensities. Located and gridded data are generated for the final processed magnetic
data. 

 

The
semi-automated magnetic data levelling system includes: 

 

		1.	Tabulation
                                                               of magnetic data at flight line/tie line intersections, along with
                                                               flight altitude data;

		2.	Network
                                                               analysis of intersection data, based on minimizing square mean
                                                               root of the differences and closure errors, to obtain suggested
                                                               leveling adjustments;

		3.	Manual
                                                                                 analysis of computer suggested corrections, based
                                                                                 on magnetic gradients at the intersections and
                                                                                 the flight altitude differences;

		4.	Application
                                                                                 of leveling corrections; and

		5.	Revision
                                                                                 of leveling corrections using imaging techniques.

    Helicopter-borne Geophysical Survey, Mexico – October 2011

 

Any
residual, small scale, in-between tie-line leveling errors are removed using micro-leveling techniques. The resultant gridded
magnetic data will be of high image quality and the corresponding located line data will also be prepared.

 

The
regional International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) 2011 will be computed (based on 2010 calculated model) and removed from
the data using the GPS location at each observation point and epoch appropriate to the current survey.

 

The
total field magnetic data and residual magnetic data grids will be produced using a minimum curvature algorithm. The reduced-to-the-pole
or reduced-to-the-equator grid will be calculated using the residual grid.

 

The
reduced-to-the-pole or reduced-to-the-equator total field magnetic data may be subjected to a variety of filtering techniques
to yield maps and/or images of the following:

        Presentation of Data

 

D2.5.1.          Gridding

 

The
corrected geophysical data from each survey line will be interpolated between survey lines using a random gridding method to yield
x-y grid values for an expected standard grid cell size of 0.25 cm at the mapping scale. 

 

D2.5.2.          Contour
and Colour Images

 

Computer
generated contour images of the aeromagnetic data are created from the grid and will be plotted.

 

Colour
images are produced by interpolating the grid down to an appropriate pixel size. The parameter is then incremented with respect
to specific amplitude ranges to provide solid colour "contour" images. Black-line contours are superimposed on the colour
images. Solid colour images of the total magnetic field are particularly useful in defining the lithology of the survey area.

 

Monochromatic
or colour shadow images can be generated by utilizing an artificial sun to cast shadows on a surface defined by the geophysical
grid. There are many variations in the shadowing technique. These techniques may be applied to total field or enhanced magnetic
data, magnetic derivatives, etc. Of the various magnetic products, the shadow of the enhanced magnetic parameter is particularly
suited for defining geologic structures with crisper images and improved resolution.

IAGSA
SURVEY CONTRACT ANNEX 

1.1
Introduction 

The
party contracting the airborne geophysical survey (Company) and the party supplying the services (Contractor) each has a Duty
of Care to ensure that the survey is carried out safely. The Contractor shall have a Safety Management System and ensure that
flight operations meet or exceed regulatory and Company safety requirements.

 

The
provisions contained herein have been prepared by the International Airborne Geophysics Safety Association (IAGSA) and have been
drawn from IAGSA’s Safety Policy Manual. They represent those provisions normally appropriate to airborne surveys. Additional
background and implementation details may be found in the Safety Policy Manual and the Contractor should reference the manual
as necessary.

 

The
provisions in this Annex are not exhaustive and may be amended or extended as necessary in accordance with the survey specific
risk assessment. 

 

1.2
Job Safety Analysis 

The
contractor and where applicable the aircraft operator will complete a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for review and acceptance by the
Company before awarding a contract. The JSA should include, but not be limited to, the provisions described in this Annex and
IAGSA’s Guide to Risk Analysis. (Safety Manual Appendix V) Provisions and practices shall be developed and documented to
mitigate the effect of identified hazards. 

 

1.3
Survey Height 

Based
on pilot reaction times and other factors, it is generally acknowledged that the lower the survey is flown, the higher the risk
associated with the operation. Current industry practice often dictates low clearance heights. To achieve a safe survey height;
the Company will specify the maximum clearance height possible, consistent with the objectives of the survey to be flown; and
the Contractor will conduct a risk analysis that emphasizes the risk factors which pertain to survey height . These factors shall,
as a minimum, include the following:

 

Terrain
relief and elevation above the trees or the tree canopy

aircraft performance

aircrew flight and duty times

prevailing weather conditions

anticipated density altitude

pilot experience and recency

planned flight speed

    Helicopter-borne Geophysical Survey, Mexico – October 2011

 

1.4
Turning Procedures 

All
turns at low-level should be limited to a maximum angle of bank of 30 degrees and be done at a constant altitude. No climbs or
descents should be carried out during the turn. If the terrain or survey height dictates that a climb is necessary the aircraft
should be climbed to the required height prior to commencing the turn and any descent back to survey height should be done after
established in a wings level attitude.

 

1.5
Minimum Safe Survey Speed 

The
minimum safe survey speed is to be the greater of: 130% of clean stall speed (Vs); 110% of best single engine rate of climb speed
(Vyse, if applicable), or minimum safe single engine speed (Vsse, if published). This minimum speed shall be observed even when
exchanging airspeed for altitude during a climb and should be raised as necessary to account for local conditions such as turbulence
and gusty winds.

 

1.6
Performance Monitoring 

Performance
parameters, including aircraft speed, height above terrain and drape, will be periodically reviewed using data collected during
the survey. Deviations below minimum survey speeds and minimum height will be investigated and corrective action taken to ensure
that safety margins are not compromised. The frequency of review should be such as to identify any discrepancies as early as possible.
(IAGSA’s Technical Committee is working on a protocol that will provide practical guidance for; identifying the kinds of
data that should be available; how often it should be sought; and what to do when hazardous flying is detected or suspected) 

 

1.7
Flight Following 

The
operator will have in place for all survey flights a flight following system that includes scheduled position reports, position
logs maintained on the ground, operational flight plans and overdue/emergency response procedures. If the survey is being conducted
in an area where it would be difficult to find a downed aircraft or ground based communication facilities are severely limited
the parties should consider using a satellite based tracking system in conjunction with position reports. 

 

1.8
Survival 

In
the event that the aircraft’s survival kit is destroyed in a crash, each crew member carry on his/her person essential survival
items that include a personal locator beacon, means to start a fire, a small knife and a signal mirror. 

 

1.9
Underwater Escape Training 

If
the survey is over water, all crew members shall have undergone underwater escape training at an acceptable training facility
during the past three years. This training should have also cover sea survival and use of emergency equipment.
