      of the holders of the mining concessions covered by the adjacent Lots or
      between Suaqui Grande and whoever has the contract rights resulting of

      entity that is a holder of the rights related to the extraction, use,
      exploitation of underground or surface water or, which in fact extracts,
      uses, exploits said water; and Suaqui Grande foresees that there shall be
      no such difference or controversy between Minera Sandia and any of the
      persons referred to in the different subsections of this section
    (E).

	 	 	 
	 	(G) 	
      Suaqui Grande does not owe any sum, nor shall execute any
      action it has promised to pay or execute and that it has not paid or
      executed, for the benefit of any of the persons referred to in the
      immediate previous subsection or for the benefit of other persons that
      could be consider they have been harmed due to any omission of this type
      and Suaqui Grande has not failed to comply any other obligation it has
      agreed to comply or satisfy for the benefit of any of the persons referred
      to in the immediate previous section.

	 	 	 
	 	(H) 	
      It has access and the right to use, exploit, or occupy
      the Surface Land for mining purposes without obstacles, in a continuous
      and unrestricted manner and said access and rights are not subject to any
      lien or encumbrance whatsoever and that it has not committed or placed a
      lien in any way whatsoever on said accesses and rights other than the way
      in which it has been agreed hereunder and with a person or part other than
      Minera Sandia.

	 	 	 
	 	(I) 	
      There is no condition in the soil, subsoil, surface or
      underground water currents or reservoirs, the atmosphere, flora, fauna, or
      other natural elements located on the Surface Land that is or could be
      considered as an infringement of the Law of Ecological Balance and
      Environmental Protection, its applicable regulations, and the Mexican

      to as the “Environmental Law”), or official Mexican laws,
      regulations, or norms applicable in matters related to health, sanitation,
      industrial safety, explosives, or any analogous ones (hereinafter,
      referred to as “Other Relevant Ordinances”); particularly, without
      prejudice of the foregoing, in the soil, subsoil, surface or subsoil water
      currents and reservoirs, the air, flora, fauna, or other natural resources
      of the surface elements of the Lots, there are no toxic, radioactive, or
      contaminant wastes or substances in any other way, with respect to which
      no measures have been taken or the actions set forth in the Environmental
      Law have not been executed.

	 	 	 
	 	(J) 	
      There is no, nor does Suaqui Grande expect there to be
      any administrative, judicial, or any other type of procedure tending to
      investigate the condition of the Surface Land or its natural elements
      (including, without limitation, its air, subsoil, water, flora, and fauna)
      due to infringements of the Environmental Law or Other Relevant Ordinances
      or tending to sanction its owners or whomever works or has worked therein,
      due to infringements of the Environmental Law or any of the Other Relevant
      Ordinances; and none of these violations or infringements has occurred,
      and Suaqui Grande has not received any notice or notification, nor has
      become aware of any investigation related to said conditions; therefore,
      Minera Sandia shall not be bothered by any of the aforementioned
      procedures.

	 	 	 
	 	(K) 	
      Nothing prevents it from lawfully entering into and
      complying with the stipulations of this agreement and entering into said
      agreement and complying with said stipulations shall not violate any legal
      norm, nor any provision or contractual agreement, whatever their nature,
      notwithstanding the person or persons with which it has been entered
      into.

	 	 	 
	 	(L) 	
      It has delivered to Minera Sandia all the maps, plans,
      reports, and other materials and information in possession or control of

	 	(M) 	
      It has agreed to enter into this agreement with Minera
      Sandia to grant to it, among others, a unilateral promise to sell the
      ownership of the Concessions and exclusive and irrevocable exploration

	 	(B) 	 The parties warrant and commit to the truthfulness,
        completeness and accurateness of the recitals made in the chapter of recitals
        hereof; these are no simple general statements on benefits and damages

UNILATERAL SALES AND OPTION PROMISE 

	 	(A) 	
      Suaqui Grande commits to transfer to Minera Sandia (or
      whomever the latter may designate), the titles of the Concessions,
      granting to Minera Sandia, a unilateral, irrevocable, and exclusive option
      to purchase said titles, subject to what has been agreed to herein (said
      right in this agreement shall be referred to as the “Option”).

	 	 	 
	 		
      The Option is unilateral because it commits Suaqui Grande
      to transfer the titles and ownership, but does not commit Minera Sandia to
      acquire or purchase them.

	 	 	 
	 		
      The Option is irrevocable because it shall not be
      revoked, withdrawn, or cancelled otherwise, or be terminated during its
      term without Minera Sandia’s prior, express, written and conclusive
      consent, granted in writing before a notary public by whoever is appointed
      and entitled to do so.

	 	 	 
	 		
      The Option is exclusive because it has been granted only
      to Minera Sandia and because during its term, options or rights for the
      same or similar purposes may not be lawfully granted to any other person
      or entity, for whatever concept and under any legal mechanism or form
      whatsoever and the option or rights granted in violation of this
      exclusiveness shall not be opposable, nor shall damage Minera
    Sandia.

	 	 	 
	 		
      The Option includes the unilateral, irrevocable, and
      exclusive right or option, in the sense stated in this paragraph (A),
      (i), to acquire the mining concessions which, in a given case, may
      substitute those defined herein as the “Concessions” or the mining
      concessions, which, in a given case, may be awarded to Suaqui Grande or
      any other person or entity, directly or indirectly related to Suaqui
      Grande, to cover holes between or adjacent to any of the Lots or between
      or adjacent to any of the lots covered by said mining concessions; (ii)
      to acquire the title to permits, licenses, concessions,
      authorizations, consents, favorable environmental impact resolutions,
      environmental risk assessments, authorizations for change of land use,
      concessions for the extraction, exploitation, use and development of
      underground water, concessions for the exploitation, use, and development
      of surface water; concessions for the discharge of waste water, soil use
      expert opinions, and acts of similar authorities which, in a given case,
      substitute any of those defined here as “Permits”, or the title to any
      modification or extension thereof; all of what has been set forth in this
      paragraph shall be subject to all the terms and conditions set forth
      herein and without the need of paying any additional or other amount than
      that which has been agreed to herein.

	 	 	 
	 	(B) 	
      For granting the Option, on June 13 (thirteen), 2009 (two
      thousand and nine), Minera Sandia shall pay to Suaqui Grande US$1,000.00
      (one thousand dollars, legal tender of the United States of America), plus
      the amount of US$150 (one hundred fifty dollars, legal tender of the
      United States of America) as Value Added Tax.

	 	 	 
	 		
      To maintain the Option effective, as well as all other
      rights that Suaqui Grande confers hereby to Minera Sandia, Minera Sandia
      shall pay to Suaqui Grande, the following sums, at the latest on the
      stated dates:

      the business day immediately prior to that on which the payment is

      None of the amounts payable to Suaqui Grande pursuant to

      (C) 
	
      If during the term of the Mining Option, Minera Sandia
      decides to exercise the Option, it shall notify it to Suaqui Grande
      through a written notice (hereinafter, referred to as the “Notice of
      Exercise”), in the understanding that the Notice of Exercise, at least,

      works and/or to obtain the resolution of temporary
      occupancy thereof, pursuant to the Mining Law and its Regulation; (vii)
      it shall diligently collaborate with Minera Sandia with respect to any
      of the actions its must or wishes to take to exercise and comply, in a
      timely manner, the rights and obligations it acquires hereby; (viii)
      when the acts referred to in numeral (v) (five) of this subsection (E)
      have been initiated or have been executed by acts or omissions of Suaqui
      Grande or a person who acts or acted on behalf, by instructions, or to the
      benefit of Suaqui Grande, the latter shall hold Minera Sandia harmless
      from any liability or obligations directly or indirectly related thereto;
      it shall indemnify Minera Sandia for damages and shall compensate it for
      the damages sustained by Minera Sandia directly or indirectly in relation
      to said acts or omissions and its consequences; and shall reimburse Minera
      Sandia for procedural fees, cost, and expenses paid by the latter to
      defend itself from any of these.

	 	 	 
	 	(F) 	
      Minera Sandia shall satisfy the obligations resulting
      from the Environmental Law and Other Relevant Ordinances, for the works
      performed during the term hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(G) 	
      Minera Sandia shall not be held liable for any
      infringement of the Environmental Law or Other Relevant Ordinances that
      has occurred prior to the Date of Execution and after the termination or
      rescission hereof or for the violations that are not attributable to it
      for any reason. If despite that which has been set forth in this
      subsection, Minera Sandia, by law, is held liable for any of such
      infringements, Suaqui Grande agrees to reimburse and shall reimburse
      Minera Sandia, within a 5 (five) calendar term following the day on which
      Minera Sandia has thus requested, for the sums paid by Minera Sandia to
      respond for the infringement of reference or to release itself from
      penalties, sanctions, or any other type of adverse legal consequences,
      plus their accessories and procedural fees, costs, and expenses incurred

      interests on delayed payments at a 12% (twelve per cent) annual
    rate.

	 	 	 
	 	(H)

      At the execution of the Final Agreement, Suaqui Grande
      shall put at the disposal of Minera Sandia, all the records, files, data,
      and information it has related to the Concessions, the Lots, the Related
      Agreements, the Permits, it has not provided to Minera Sandia,
      notwithstanding Suaqui Grande’s statements under oath of telling the

CLAIMS FROM MINERA SANDIA 

	(A) 	
      If Minera Sandia does not make some of the payments set
      forth in subsection (B) of clause 2 (two) hereof on the respective dates
      stated therein, Suaqui Grande shall provide to Minera Sandia a written
      notice indicating that it has 30 (thirty) additional calendar days to make
      such payments or to prove to Suaqui Grande that it already has made such
      payments, after which term, in case such payment has not been made or if
      Minera Sandia does not prove to Suaqui Grande that it actually has made
      such payment, the Option and this agreement shall be deemed terminated
      automatically and without legal effects whatsoever, without any further
      liabilities for Minera Sandia than those agreed to herein.

	 	
       

	(B) 	
      If Suaqui Grande considers that Minera Sandia has not
      complied some of its obligations which it acquires hereunder, other than
      those set forth in subsection (A) of this clause, Suaqui Grande shall
      notify Minera Sandia in writing that it has thirty (30) calendar days to
      begin to remedy the non-compliance or to prove to Suaqui Grande that it
      has not failed to comply, at the end of which period, if it has not begun
      to remedy the non-compliance or begun to remedy it, or if Minera Sandia
      has not proven to Suaqui Grande that it did not fail to comply, then, the
      Option and this agreement shall be deemed terminated automatically and
      without legal effects whatsoever, without any further liabilities for
      Minera Sandia than those agreed to herein. The notice of non-compliance
      shall include sufficient circumstances, so that Minera Sandia may take the
      pertinent corrective measures or remedies, according to the nature of the
      attributed failure to comply.

	 	(D) 	
      Suaqui Grande shall not be entitled to file a complaint
      against, or take, or petition any other legal measure against Minera
      Sandia, without previously proceeding as established in the two foregoing
      paragraphs of this clause, as may be applicable. As of now, the parties
      agree that the fact that Suaqui Grande exhausts the mechanism established
      in the two foregoing shall be deemed, for all legal purposes, a necessary
      assumption as regards the lawfulness of any action or any other type of
      measure or legal petition which Suaqui Grande intends to inchoate or file
      against Minera Sandia.

5 

ACT OF GOD OR EVENT OF FORCE MAJEURE 

The term for the compliance of the obligations which the
parties acquire pursuant hereto, the Term of the Option, and the duration of
this agreement shall be suspended and shall be kept so, during the entire
duration of the act of God or event of force majeure, without it therefore being
deemed that the parties have failed to comply said obligations or that they have
decided not to exercise the Option, or that this agreement has been breached.
For the purposes of this subsection, the following, by way of illustration,
respectively constitute acts of God or events of force majeure: strikes,
blockades, closing of or obstacles on roads; lockouts, taking possession of
facilities, offices, or other property of Minera Sandia o its contractors or
subcontractors thereof; protests, demonstrations, or other types of actions by
environmentalist groups or 

17

Mining Agreement 
Minera Suaqui Grande S. de R.L. de C.V.
and 
Minera Sandia, S.A. de C.V. 
June 13, 2009 

persons or Indian or ethnic groups or persons or non
governmental organizations, or neighbors or ejidos or ejido members;
expropriations, seizures or taking possession of property ordered and executed
or tolerated by any level or jurisdiction of government authorities; laws,
regulations; decrees, orders for the suspension of activities or closures, or
other types of governmental acts, including, but without being limited to acts
of environmental authorities, judgments; not having obtained a license, permit,
agreement, authorization, consent, right of access or right of way or delay in
obtaining such; prohibition for exporting ores decreed by the Mexican
government; decree of ruinous taxes or contributions or non-tariff measures that
make producing and exporting ores unprofitable, at the sole opinion of Minera
Sandia; unavailability of materials or means of transportation; impossibility or
insurmountable difficulty, in Minera Sandía’s sole opinion, to enter and exit
the Surface Land, and other events of a similar or analogous nature. The term
for the compliance of the obligations that Minera Sandia acquires pursuant
hereto, the Term of the Option and the duration hereof shall be deemed
automatically extended for a period of time equal to that of the duration of the
cause of suspension stipulated in this clause, without prejudice of Minera
Sandia’s right to terminate it in advance. No act of God or event of force
majeure shall release Minera Sandia from its obligation to pay the mining rights
for the Concessions, all during the Term of the Option, unless, any or some of
these obligations can not be complied since said rights can not or have not been
received by the banks, authorities, institutions, or agencies that should
receive them, or for not being able to pay due to any cause, reason or
circumstance not attributable to Minera Sandia. 

The party which takes this clause as its basis shall take all
steps and shall execute all actions reasonably possible to eliminate the act of
God or event of force majeure or its effects and, if possible, shall comply with
the obligations it acquires hereunder, to the degree in which it is practical.
None of the parties shall have the obligation to negotiate or compromise with
the persons, groups, organizations, or authorities that give rise to the events
set forth in this clause, or the obligation to challenge state, governmental or
administrative acts which also constitute events of force majeure pursuant to
this clause, or the obligation of complying with what has been agreed to herein,
if an event of force majeure or act of God renders such compliance impossible.

The lack of possibility to comply due to an event of force
majeure or act of God shall release the parties, while the cause or event of
force majeure or act of God persists, except when the act of God is caused by
the lack of funds of the party of reference. 

The establishment, imposition, registration, continuation, or
subsistence of a Lien on any of the Concessions or any of the Lots or part of
any of the Lots or any of the Related Agreements or on any of the properties or
rights of Suaqui Grande subject to this agreement shall not be deemed an event
of force majeure or an act of God and therefore, shall not excuse Suaqui
Grande’s failure to comply.

ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF
SECURITY 

	(A) 	
      As of now, Suaqui Grande irrevocably authorizes Minera
      Sandia to assign some or all of the rights and obligations resulting in
      its favor from this agreement or the Concessions, without the need of any
      further or additional agreement or consent, without further obligation for
      Minera Sandia than that of informing Suaqui Grande, within a 30 (thirty)
      calendar day term following the date on which the assignment has taken
      place, (i) the name or corporate name of the assignee; (ii)
      the date of the

18

Mining Agreement

and 
Minera Sandia, S.A. de C.V. 
June 13, 2009 

		
      assignment; (iii) the business address of the
      assignee; and (iv) the name of the assignee’s representative with
      whom Suaqui Grande shall deal with in regard to everything related to said
      assignment, the latter provided the assignee has informed Minera Sandia
      thereof. The assignment referred to in this subsection shall fully (in
      case of the total assignment) or partially (in case of the partial
      assignment) release Minera Sandia from the obligations it assumes
      hereunder.

	 	 
	(B) 	
      Suaqui Grande shall only be entitled to assign, promise
      to assign, lien, option, or enter into contracts and agreements in
      relation to some or all of the rights and obligations resulting hereunder
      or in relation to any of the mining concessions, agreements, permits,
      properties, or rights object hereof (prior to these being acquired by
      Minera Sandia) or to provide as security or to create or impose a Lien on
      any of said rights or obligations, or mining concessions, agreements,
      permits, properties or rights object hereof (prior to these being acquired
      by Minera Sandia), if it has Minera Sandia’s previous, express and written
      agreement and none of these acts shall be opposable to Minera Sandia if
      the latter did not consent to them as agreed to in this section.

	 	 
	(C) 	
      Minera Sandia may provide this agreement and the rights
      resulting hereunder as security and any further or additional consent or
      agreement from Suaqui Grande shall not be required for such purpose and
      hereby, Suaqui Grande irrevocably grants its agreement and consent
      thereto.

7 

TERMINATION 

	(A) 	
      It shall be deemed the Option and this agreement have
      been automatically terminated at the up-date of any of these hypotheses:
      (i) 10 (ten) calendar days after a notice of non-exercise of the
      Option and termination of this agreement delivered or sent by Minera
      Sandia to Suaqui Grande has produced its effects; (ii) the up-date
      of any of the termination hypotheses set forth in clause 4 (four),
      subsections (A) and (B) hereof; and (iii) the formalization of the
      Final Agreement (in which case, only the provisions of this agreement that
      cause Suaqui Grande to indemnify or compensate Minera Sandia or to respond
      to Minera Sandia for claim for better title or defects in the assigned
      titles and others that impose obligations in charge of the parties whose
      compliance were pending after said formalization).

	 	 
	(B) 	
      Within a 180 (one hundred eighty) calendar day term
      following the effective date of termination of the Option and this
      agreement by the up-date of any of the hypotheses set forth in paragraph
      (A), subsections (i) one and (ii) (two) of this clause, Minera Sandia may
      and shall remove all the facilities, machinery, equipment, and other
      properties owned by Minera Sandia and by whoever has worked for the
      latter, which are still on any of the Lots, except for those facilities
      that should remain thereon pursuant to the Mining Law and its Regulation.
      The properties which Minera Sandia does not remove from the Lots within
      the term set forth in this paragraph shall become Suaqui Grande’s property
      and the latter shall not have to pay Minera Sandia for them, unless Minera
      Sandia has been unable to remove them due to acts of God or events of
      force majeure or acts, omissions, liabilities, or obligations attributable
      to Suaqui Grande or which are Suaqui Grande’s or attributable to persons
      acting on behalf or by instructions, or to the benefit of Suaqui
      Grande.

Minera Suaqui Grande S. de R.L. de C.V.
and 
Minera Sandia, S.A. de C.V. 
June 13, 2009 

	(C) 	
      If this agreement is terminated due to any of the
      hypotheses set forth in paragraph (A), subsections (i) (one) and (ii)
      (two) of this clause, Minera Sandia shall deliver to Suaqui Grande within
      a 90 (ninety) calendar day term following the date in which Suaqui Grande
      may request it in writing, a report describing all the works performed on
      the Lots, limited to matters of fact, exclusively together with copies of
      maps showing the location of samples, a copy of the drill assay logbook, a
      copy of the assay results, and other technical data compiled by Minera
      Sandia in relation to the Lots, but without any guaranty that the reports,
      maps, assays and technical data shall be appropriate for any end or
      purpose whatsoever and without any guaranty as regards their accurateness
      and completeness.

8 

ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLATERAL 

	(A) 	
      If Minera Sandia decides to exercise the Option and on
      the date on which the Final Agreement shall be formalized and delivered,
      any of the Concessions, any of the Related Agreements, or any of the
      Permits are subject to any Lien or any debt resulting from Suaqui Grande’s
      acts, omissions, liabilities, or obligations, Minera Sandia may pay the
      amounts or comply with the obligations or satisfy the liabilities that
      have given place to the Liens or the debts of reference, which shall be
      charged to the amounts set forth in paragraph (B) of clause 2 (two) which
      still have not been paid to Suaqui Grande and, in a given case, pay the
      amounts owed or comply with the obligations or satisfy the liabilities
      that must be paid, complied or satisfied in excess of said amounts set
      forth in paragraph (B) of clause 2 (two) that still have not been paid to
      Suaqui Grande, and in a given case, to pay the amounts owned or to comply
      with the obligations or to satisfy the liabilities that should be paid,
      complied or satisfied in excess of said amounts set forth in paragraph (B)
      of clause 2 (two), in which case, the Option shall be deemed exercised and
      Suaqui Grande shall pay or reimburse Minera Sandia what it had paid or
      complied or satisfied in excess of said amounts set forth in paragraph (B)
      of clause 2 (two), plus lawful interests. The expenses or disbursements
      that Minera Sandia would cause to pay, comply, or satisfy Suaqui Grande’s
      amounts, obligations, or liabilities under the circumstances set forth in
      this subsection, plus lawful interests shall also be borne by Suaqui
      Grande, and charged to the amounts set forth in paragraph (B) of clause 2
      (two).

	 	 
	(B) 	
      Suaqui Grande commits to reimburse Minera Sandia for the
      amounts it already had paid Suaqui Grande from among those set forth in
      paragraph (B) of clause 2 (two) hereof, plus lawful interests, if, on the
      date on which the Final Agreement should be formalized and delivered, any
      of the Concessions or any of the Related Agreements or any of the Permits
      are subject to any Lien or debt resulting from Suaqui Grande’s acts,
      omissions, liabilities, or obligations and therefore, Minera Sandia
      decides not to formalize and deliver the Final Agreement, in which case,
      the Option shall be deemed not exercised. Suaqui Grande shall also pay to
      Minera Sandia the expenses or disbursements, plus lawful interests, made
      by Minera Sandia to document, notarize, and notify its decision of not
      formalizing and delivering the Final Agreement under the circumstances set
      forth in this paragraph.

	 	 
	(C) 	
      To assure the compliance of the obligations it acquires
      under paragraphs (A) and (B) of this clause, irrevocably Suaqui Grande
      establishes in favor of Minera Sandia, first collateral on the titles of
      the Concessions and the Related Agreements that qualify as personal
      property pursuant to the law. This collateral

Minera Suaqui Grande S. de R.L. de C.V.
and 
Minera Sandia, S.A. de C.V. 
June 13, 2009 

		
      shall be effective and shall bind Suaqui Grande and third
      parties while the secured obligations and their accessories remain unpaid
      or unsatisfied and shall be registered in the Public registry of Mining. A
      special notation thereof shall be made as set forth respectively in the
      Mining Law and its Regulation.

	 	 
	(D) 	
      Suaqui Grande shall respond with its entire estate, for
      the compliance of the obligations it secures with the pledge object of
      this clause incase the pledge or the pledged properties were insufficient
      or were unenforceable due to any reason or circumstance, or in case the
      pledge could not be made effective to Minera Sandia’s benefit.

	 	 
	(E) 	
      Minera Sandia shall enforce the security interest rights
      and privileges this clause grants to it, if previously it does not grant
      to Suaqui Grande a 15 (fifteen) calendar day term so that Suaqui Grande,
      at its sole expense, may take the steps and measures it may deem necessary
      in order for the Liens to be cancelled, annulled, superseded, terminated,
      or in some other way, divested of legal effects, unless the respite harms
      or could harm Minera Sandia’s position or rights, in its exclusive
      opinion. To exercise the rights that Suaqui Grande grants to it through
      this clause, Minera Sandia shall not be bound to wait for the result of
      legal actions of any type filed by Suaqui Grande before the courts or the
      result of negotiations, procedures or discussions whose purpose is to
      obtain the cancellation, release, annulment, or divestment of effects of
      the Liens through any other legal means.

	 	 
	(F) 	
      If Minera Sandia decides not to exercise the Option,
      Minera Sandia shall deliver to Suaqui Grande, the cancellation or release
      of the security established by the effects of this clause, within a 15
      (fifteen) calendar day term following the date on which the notice of
      non-exercise of the Option produces its legal
effects.

CONFIDENTIALITY 

	(A) 	
      The parties shall maintain the content and entering into
      this agreement under absolute confidentiality and shall not use the name
      of the other party for any purpose related hereto and the properties and
      rights object of the Option and shall cause its shareholders, directors,
      officers, representatives, employees, and other related persons maintain
      it in absolute confidentiality and refrain from using the name of the
      other party, unless they have to disclose it or use the name of the other
      party (i) to stock exchange, tax, administrative, judicial or
      arbitration authorities or officials pursuant to the law; (ii) to
      banks or other financial entities or parties interested in financing the
      works which Minera Sandia is entitled to perform hereunder; (iii)
      to good faith third parties interested in acquiring the rights and
      obligations resulting hereunder in favor of Minera Sandia; (iv) to
      the general public pursuant to the laws and rules that govern the
      placement or sale of shares or securities in Mexican or foreign stock
      exchanges; and (v) to the accountants and consultants of the
      parties, subject to what has been agreed to in this clause.

	 	 
	(B) 	
      Notwithstanding what has been set forth in the foregoing
      paragraph, the parties agree that none of them shall be liable to the
      other for any negligent or fraudulent disclosure of information by any of
      its shareholders, directors, officials, representatives, employees, and
      other persons related thereto, if said party took reasonable measures so
      that said information would be treated as confidential and kept as
      such.

	(C) 	
      The registration of this agreement in the Public Registry
      of Mining or in other public registries shall not be deemed to be an
      infringement of the duty of confidentiality.

OTHER STIPULATIONS 

	(A) 	
      This agreement substitutes, cancels, supersedes,
      terminates and leaves without effects any agreements, letters of
      agreement, contracts, letters of intent, and agreements of any other type
      entered into in relation to the object hereof, on a date prior to the one
      hereof.

	 	 
	(B) 	
      All the obligations and commitments assumed by the
      parties are contained and exclusively comprised herein. There are no
      verbal agreements or understandings, prior or contemporary to the
      execution hereof, which binds the parties in any sense
  whatsoever.

	 	 
	(C) 	
      The parties agree that they shall execute and deliver to
      the other party, any other additional documents and shall take any
      additional actions that may be necessary to attain the objectives hereof
      and that in all these cases, they shall proceed in a diligent and timely
      fashion, but this paragraph shall not be construed as binding the parties
      to grant securities or to constitute Liens other than those agreed to
      herein.

	 	 
	(D) 	
      No modification, amendment or addition hereto shall be
      binding or enforceable coactively if not provided in writing and if not
      executed by all the contracting parties.

	 	 
	(E) 	
      The sole purpose of the titles or headings used herein is
      to facilitate reading the agreement, but do not determine, affect,
      restrict, or expand the scope of the rights and obligations resulting from
      this meeting of the wills.

	 	 
	(F) 	
      For the purposes hereof, “business days” shall be those
      that are not deemed to mandatory holidays pursuant to the Mexican Federal
      Labor Law. Whenever the last day of any term set forth herein to make a
      payment or execute an action is a mandatory holiday pursuant to the
      Mexican Labor Law, the payment shall be made or the action shall be
      performed on the immediately following business day. For the purposes
      hereof, “calendar days” shall be all the days of the regular calendar. In
      this agreement, “months” shall refer to periods comprising thirty calendar
      days, whenever these do not start being calculated as of the first day of
      the calendar month of reference. Whenever a calendar month begins to be
      calculated as of its first day, a “month” shall be deemed to be the number
      of calendar days comprised in said period.

	 	 
	(G) 	
      In the negotiation and execution hereof, there has been
      no fraud, bad faith, violence, illegality, error, reverential fear,
      disability, nor any other defect that affects the contracting parties’
      will or consent.

	(H) 	
      The parties categorically state that they have no action
      for the non-existence, invalidity, nullity, or inefficiency hereof or
      other similar ones tending to deprive it of effects or to release them of
      its binding nature and that they irrevocably waive those which, in a given
      case, they could have to obtain any of said declarations.

	 	 
	(I) 	
      In particular, there is no injury. The considerations
      agreed to herein are fair, equitable, and commercial. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the parties irrevocably waive any action or right which, in a
      given case, they would have to claim the non-existence, nullity,
      rescission, inefficiency, or deprivation of legal effects of this
      agreement due to objective or subjective injury or any other
  type.
