Agreement in a co-operative and expeditious manner. To this effect, following notice of
'any party to  the others of a disagreement (which shall include any failure to agree
upon a matter to be agreed upon) the  parties hereto shall consult and negotiate with one
another in good faith an understanding to reach a just  and equitable solution. If those
attempts fail after a period of ten (10) business days (which, for greater  certainty,
excludes Saturdays, Sundays and any other' day recognized as a legal holiday either in
the State  of Delaware or the Province of Ontario) from the time the parties have been
notified in writing of the  disagreement, then every such disagreement shall be referred
to arbitration in the English language in the  City of Toronto, Ontario pursuant to the
Arbitration Act (Ontario), as amended from time to time, to be held  before a
single arbitrator who is mutually agreed to by the parties, provided that, if the parties
are unable  to agree on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the written
notice, the arbitrator shall be  chosen by a Judge of the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice.

..of any party to participate in the arbitration proceedings, the arbitrator may  proceed
to make an award and the costs of .the arbitration shall be borne as determined by the
arbitrator

agree that the award of the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of  the
parties and shall be enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the  parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies from any court of competent  jurisdiction. Except where clearly

Agreement

Optionor requires employees and/or its founders and/or seed investors to enter into any
voting or shareholders agreement, the Optionee shall enter into such agreement prior to
the Option exercise  becoming effective. The Optionee acknowledges and confirms that the
terms in any voting or shareholder  agreement may not be favourable to the Optionee.

of First Refusal

Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Optionor, if it is the Optionee’s
intention to sell any shares of the Optionor owned by him, which shares may have been
purchased either  through the exercise of the Option described herein or otherwise, the
Optionee will give the Optionor written  notice of his intention to do so together with
the proposed terms of sale including but not limited to the  sale price (the “Sale
Notice”). Upon receiving such written notice from the Optionee, the Optionor shall
have  the right to purchase such shares from the Optionee for a period of ten (10)
business days from the date that  the Optionee provides said written notice to the
Optionor of its intention to sell said shares on the terms  set out in the Sale Notice.

Optionee shall be entitled to sell such shares to a third party for a period of 60 days

W I T N E S S E T H:

and

WHEREAS, the

NOW, THEREFORE,
the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

election not to renew the Term as of such then scheduled expiration date.

2. Duties.

(a) Subject at all times
to the control of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board), the Employee shall report to

during the Term, be entitled to receive reimbursement of all expenses reasonably incurred by the

Section 5.(a)(iii), good cause shall mean, but not be limited to:

Employee substantially to perform his duties hereunder (other than failure resulting from the
Employee s incapacity resulting from physical illness), after reasonable notice of such failure and,
if practicable, a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure;

(ii) any material
breach by the Employee of the terms hereof, as determined by the Company, subject to reasonable
notice of such breach(es) and, if practicable, a reasonable opportunity to cure his
breach(es);

(iii) the commission by
the Employee of (1) an act which constitutes a dishonest act against the Company, a customer, a
vendor, an employee, a consultant or an advisor of the Company, or (2) an act which constitutes a
fraud or felony under applicable law, or (3) any chronic violation of law; or

(iv) the Employee

6. Theriault Undertaking.
Employee will not hold, accept or otherwise acquire any position with another entity, as a
shareholder, partner, consultant, officer or director, which such position imposes on him, or may
impose upon him in the future, a duty which could result in a conflict of interest arising between
Employee and the Company respecting any aspect of mineral exploration, including, without
limitation, acquisition or divestiture of properties, access to financing, and personnel.

7. Employee understands, acknowledges
and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither he nor an affiliate of
his, including without limitation Dave Mathewson, will directly or indirectly acquire any interest
in any property without first offering in writing such opportunity, without cost or markup, to the
Company.

8. Stock or Option Plan. The
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, from time to time, in its discretion whether and
to what extent the Employee may participate in any stock or option plan hereafter adopted by the
Company.

9. Confidential Information.
Employee acknowledges that, as a result of his employment by the Company, Employee will obtain
secret and confidential information concerning the business of the Company, including without
limitation the identity of vendors and sources of supply, their needs and requirements, the nature
and extent of the Company s arrangements with them, and related cost, price and sales information.
Employee also acknowledges that the Company would suffer substantial damage if, during the period of
his employment with the Company or thereafter, Employee should divulge secret and confidential
information relating to the business of the Company acquired by him in the course of his employment.
Therefore, Employee agrees that he will not at any time, whether during the Term or thereafter,
disclose or divulge at any time to any person, firm or Company, any secret or confidential
information obtained by Employee while employed by the Company, including but not limited to
operational, financial, business or other affairs of the Company, trade know how or secrets, vendor
lists, employee lists, consultant lists, sources of supply, pricing policies, operational methods or
technical processes.

10. Construction and Enforcement of
Section 9. The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that the provisions of Section 9 are of
great importance and value to the Company. The Employee recognizes that the provisions of Section 9
are necessary for the Company s protection, are reasonable restraints ancillary to the formation and
organization of the business and the retention of the Employee to run the business, and that the
Company would be irreparably damaged by a breach thereof and would not be adequately compensated by
monetary damages. The Company, therefore, in addition to its other remedies, shall be entitled to an
injunction from any court having jurisdiction restraining any violation or threatened violation of
the provisions of Section 9, without the necessity of proving monetary damages, and without the
necessity of proving that monetary damages would be insufficient. If any provision of Section 9 is
held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the court
making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area, or all of
them, and such provision shall then be applicable in such modified form. If any provision of Section
9 shall be held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, such
provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity,
prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions of Section 9 or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

11. Release upon Termination or
Expiration. In the event that the employment of the Employee with the Company is terminated or
expires for any reason, in exchange for payment in full of all amounts owing to Employee under the
terms of this Agreement at the date of termination, the Employee shall execute and deliver to the
Company a general release in form to be determined by the Company, to the effect that Employee
acknowledges that receipt of any monies and benefits pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is in
full satisfaction of any and all outstanding claims or entitlements which the Employee may otherwise
have against the Company, as well as the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company,
under or in respect of, this Agreement.

12. Entire Agreement; Amendment.
This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Employee with respect to
the subject matter thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, changed, modified or
discharged except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party or parties
against whom any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
