(the “Consultant”)

WHEREAS:

	1.	 	The Consultant is in the business of providing specialized mineral exploration consulting
services.

	 
	2.	 	The Company requires the services of a consultant and the Consultant represents that the

The parties agree as follows:

	1.	 	ENGAGEMENT OF CONSULTANT

	 	1.1	 	The Consultant hereby agrees to provide consulting services with respect to
those matters described in Schedule “A” when requested by the Company and additional
services that are requested by the Company from time-to-time and accepted by the
Consultant (the “Services”).

	 
	 	1.2	 	The Consultant will perform the Services in an efficient, competent, timely and
professional manner and provide the standard of care, skill, and diligence normally
provided by competent professionals in the performance of services similar to the
Services contemplated by this Agreement.

	 
	 	1.3	 	The Services shall be performed in their entirety outside Canada.

	 
	 	1.4	 	During the term of this Agreement, the Consultant will:

	 	1.4.1	 	devote so much time and attention as is required to complete,
or cause the completion of, the Services on a timely basis;

	 
	 	1.4.2	 	perform the Services at such times, by such means and in such
a manner as are determined by the Company; and

	 
	 	1.4.3	 	provide Services from the Consultant’s primary business
location, as set forth in the preamble to this Agreement above, or, as required
and requested by the Company, at its offices or other locations specified by
the Company.

 

 

	2.	 	COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES

	 	2.1	 	The Company will pay the Consultant for Services performed in accordance with
the terms of Schedule “B”. Such compensation will be the sole compensation for the
Consultant.

	 
	 	2.2	 	The Consultant will be responsible for all of its own general expenses arising
from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Company will
reimburse the Consultant for all pre-authorized travel and other expenses, including
out-of-pocket expenses, actually and properly incurred by the Consultant in connection
with the provision of Services; provided that the Company, in its sole discretion,
agrees that such expenses were actually and properly incurred; and further provided
that the Consultant furnishes receipts to the Company in respect of such expenses.

	 
	 	2.3	 	Except as otherwise provided in herein, the Consultant will prepare and submit
monthly to the Company a detailed statement of fees and expenses, including any
applicable taxes. The statement will set forth the number of days the Consultant
performed Services and will be accompanied by evidence substantiating expenses
incurred. Subject to verification by the Company, payment of amounts due will be made
by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statements.

	 
	 	2.4	 	The Consultant shall maintain and have available, at the Consultant’s expense,

	3.	 	TERM

	 	3.1	 	This Agreement will be for the term specified in Schedule “C” hereto.

	4.	 	NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP

	 	4.1	 	It is expressly agreed, represented and understood that the parties have
entered into an arm’s length independent contract for the rendering of the Services and
that the Consultant shall at all times be an independent contractor with control over
the manner and means of its performance of its obligations hereunder, and not an
employee, agent or servant of the Company. Neither this Agreement, nor any action of
the parties under this Agreement, will create or will be deemed to create a
partnership, joint venture, master/servant, employer/employee, principal/agent or any
relationship other than an independent contractor providing an independent service for
which the Company will be invoiced according to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

	 
	 	4.2	 	Neither the Consultant nor its employees, subcontractors or agents shall be
entitled, as a result of or pursuant to this Agreement, to rights or privileges
applicable to employees of the Company including, but not limited to, liability
insurance, group insurance, pension plans, holiday paid vacation and other benefit
plans which may be available from time to time between the Company and its employees.

	 
	 	4.3	 	The Consultant shall be responsible for providing, training and managing its
employees and shall take full responsibility for its employees, and without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, shall be responsible for (a) payment of all of its
employee training costs and (b) for payments to all proper authorities of all
remittances required by applicable law or regulation under applicable tax and other
laws, including payments for employment insurance premiums, pension contributions,
worker’s compensation premiums, contributions to any social insurance, medical
insurance, housing funds and all other similar payments and assessments arising as a
result of providing Services hereunder by the Consultant (collectively the
“Remittances”).

	 
	 	4.4	 	At the request of the Company, the Consultant agrees to provide the Company
with verification of payment by the Consultant of all Remittances due by the Consultant
during the prior calendar quarter as a result of compensation paid hereunder. If the
Company does not receive such verification of payment in a timely manner or is not
satisfied with such verification the Consultant authorizes the Company to deduct from
the compensation paid hereunder from time to time such sums as may be reasonably
required to pay for such Remittances.

	 
	 	4.5	 	The Consultant hereby represents and warrants that the Consultant is a
non-resident of Canada.

 

2

 

	5.	 	REPORTING

	 	5.1	 	The Consultant shall report to the Company’s representative specified in
Schedule “D” hereto.

	6.	 	NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-COMPETE

	 	6.1	 	The Consultant agrees to concurrently execute a confidentiality and non-compete
agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) in the form attached as Schedule “E”
hereto.

	7.	 	COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

	 	7.1	 	The Consultant will comply with all requirements of any applicable local law,
rule or regulation. The Consultant hereby represents and warrants that the Consultant
has, and hereby covenants to maintain in good standing, all licenses, work permits or
other authorizations required to enable the Consultant to perform Services under this
Agreement in the jurisdiction where the Services are to be performed.

	8.	 	TERMINATION

	 	8.1	 	In the event that the Consultant violates any of the material provisions of
this Agreement or fails in a material way to properly perform the Services then, at the
option of the Company, this Agreement will at once cease and terminate upon notice of
same to the Consultant by the Company.

	 
	 	8.2	 	Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days
written notice to the other party.

	 
	 	8.3	 	Under circumstances where this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to
Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 above, the parties shall be under no further obligation to
one another, other than:

	 	8.3.1	 	the Company shall have the obligation to pay all amounts owed
to the Consultant with respect to: (a) such Services as have been performed by
the Consultant up to the date of the termination of this Agreement for which
the Company has not previously paid the Consultant, and (b) expenses actually
and properly incurred by the Consultant in connection with the provision of the
Services for which the Consultant has not been reimbursed by the Company
pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement;

	 
	 	8.3.2	 	the obligations of the Consultant pursuant to the
Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in accordance with the terms thereof;
and

	 
	 	8.3.3	 	the Consultant will be responsible for preparing and
delivering to the Company a final report on the Services provided within 15
days of the date of termination.

	9.	 	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING

	 	9.1	 	Neither party may assign this Agreement in whole or in part.

	 
	 	9.2	 	The Consultant may subcontract the provision of the Services or any obligation
of the Consultant under this Agreement. Subcontracting shall not derogate from the
liability of the Consultant to perform the Services or its obligations hereunder.

	 	10.1	 	Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement will be in
writing and may be delivered personally or by telex or facsimile or by pre-paid
registered post

the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, and any proceeding relating to or arising as
a consequence of this Agreement will be commenced or maintained only in the courts of
British Columbia, Canada.

	13.	 	Severability

If any covenant or provision herein is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or in
part, it will be severable from and will not be deemed to affect or impair the
enforceability or validity of any other covenant or provision of this Agreement or any part
thereof.

	14.	 	Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the Consulting Agreement contain the entire understanding and agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereunder, including, without
limitation, the Confidential Information, and supersedes any prior understandings and

AGREEMENT made the 1st day of February 2007.

Vancouver, B.C. V7Y 1C6.

AND:

STANLEY MYERS, consultant of P.O. Box 206, Hope, Idaho 83836, USA.

In consideration of the sum of $10.00, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the
mutual covenants herein contained and the “Officer” remaining as an officer of the “Corporation”,
it is hereby agreed as follows:

	1.	 	In the event the Officer ceases to be an officer of the Corporation for any reason within six
months of the date on which control of the Corporation changes (which event is called a
“Change of Control”), the Corporation shall pay to the Officer $504,000 (the “Change of
Control Payment”). For the purposes of this Agreement, Change of Control will be deemed to
have occurred if a transaction results in the Corporation having a new Control Person, where
“Control Person” means:

	 	a.	 	a person who holds sufficient number of the voting rights
attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Corporation to affect
materially the control of the Corporation; or

	 
	 	b.	 	each person in a combination of persons, acting in concert by
virtue of an agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding, which holds
in total a sufficient number of the voting rights attached to all outstanding
voting securities of the Corporation to affect materially the control of the
Corporation,

	 	 	and, if a person or combination of persons holds more than 30% of the voting rights
attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Corporation, the person or combination
of persons is deemed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to hold a sufficient
number of the voting rights to be a Control Person of the Corporation.

	 
	2.	 	Notwithstanding paragraph 1, Change of Control does not include removal of the Officer as an
officer of the Corporation for cause. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon a
voluntary resignation of the Officer as an officer of the Corporation unless a Change of
Control occurred first.

	 
	3.	 	The Change of Control Payment will be paid to the Officer within 15 days of the date on which
one party hereto notifies the other party that a Change of Control has occurred (the “Change
of Control Notice”), provided that the Officer may, within 10 days of receipt of the Change of
Control Notice, elect by written notice to the Corporation that the Change of Control Payment
be paid in cash to the Officer in equal monthly installments over a period of one year.

	 
	4.	 	On termination of this Agreement, the parties will remain liable for all obligations and
liabilities hereunder, whether such obligations and liabilities accrue before or after
termination of this Agreement.

	 
	5.	 	The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

	 
	6.	 	All notices or other communications to be given hereunder shall be delivered by hand to the
relevant address specified above. Either party may change its address for service by notice
in writing to the other party hereto specifying its new address for service hereunder.

 

 

	7.	 	This Agreement shall be for a term of one year, provided that if the Officer is an officer of
the Corporation at the end of the term or any renewal thereof then this Agreement shall
automatically be extended for a further term of one year.

	 
	8.	 	The provisions of this Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and binding upon the
respective successors and assigns of the Corporation and heirs of the Officer.

	 
	9.	 	Any notice to be given hereunder to the Corporation or the Officer will be deemed to be
validly given if delivered or sent by facsimile to the respective addresses below and any such
notice delivered on a business day in accordance with the foregoing will be deemed to have
been received on the date of delivery or facsimile transmission:
