      good standing;

	 	 	 
	 	(b)

      shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the terms hereof.

	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      It shall be a condition precedent to the right of any
      party to submit any matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions
      hereof, that any party intending to refer any matter to arbitration shall
      have given not less than 30 days' prior notice of its intention to do so
      to the other party, together with particulars of the matter in dispute. On
      the expiration of such 30 days, the party who gave such notice may proceed
      to refer the dispute to arbitration as provided in paragraph
(c).

	 	 	 
		(c) 	
      The party desiring arbitration shall appoint one
      arbitrator, and shall notify the other party of such appointment, and the
      other party shall, within 30 days after receiving such notice, either
      consent to the appointment of such arbitrator which shall then carry out
      the arbitration or appoint an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so
      named, before proceeding to act, shall, within 30 days of the appointment
      of the last appointed arbitrator, unanimously agree on the appointment of
      a third arbitrator to act with them and be chairman of the arbitration
      herein provided for. If the other party shall fail to appoint an
      arbitrator within 30 days after receiving notice of the appointment of the
      first arbitrator, the first arbitrator shall be the only arbitrator. If
      the two arbitrators appointed by the parties shall be unable to agree on
      the appointment of the chairman, the chairman shall be appointed under the
      provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Act of British Columbia.
      Except as specifically otherwise provided in this section, the arbitration
      herein provided for shall be conducted in accordance with such Act. The
      chairman, or in the case where only one arbitrator is appointed, the
      single arbitrator, shall fix a time and place in Vancouver, British
      Columbia, for the purpose of hearing the evidence and representations of
      the parties, and he shall preside over the arbitration and determine all
      questions of procedure not provided for under such Act or this section.
      After hearing any evidence and representations that the parties may
      submit, the single arbitrator, or the arbitrators, as the case may be,
      shall make an award and reduce the same to writing, and deliver one copy
      thereof to each of the parties. The expense of the arbitration shall be
      paid as specified in the award.

	 	 	 
		(d) 	
      The parties agree that the award of a majority of the
      arbitrators, or in the case of a single arbitrator, of such arbitrator,
      shall be final and binding upon each of them.

	 	 	 
	15. 	
      DEFAULT. If at any time during the Option Period, the
      Optionee is in default of any material provision in this Agreement, the
      Optionor may terminate this Agreement, but only if:

	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      it shall have first given to the Optionee a notice of
      default containing particulars of the obligation which the Optionee has
      not performed, or the warranty breached; and

	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      the Optionee has not, within 60 days following delivery
      of such notice of default, cured such default or commenced proceedings to
      cure such default by appropriate payment or performance, the Optionee
      hereby agreeing that should it so commence to cure any default it will
      prosecute the same to completion without undue delay.

	 	 	 
		
      Should the Optionee fail to comply with the provision of
      subparagraph (b), the Optionor may thereafter terminate this Agreement by
      giving notice thereof to the Optionee, always provided that the default
      in question has not been cured or substantially cured at the time
of the Optionee giving such notice of termination. 

10

	16. 	
      NOTICES. Each notice, demand or other communication
      required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing
      and shall be delivered or telecopied to such party at the address for such
      party specified above. The date of receipt of such notice, demand or other
      communication shall be the date of delivery thereof if delivered or, if
      given by telecopier (with electronic confirmed receipt), shall be deemed
      conclusively to be the next business day. Either party may at any time and
      from time to time notify the other party in writing of a change of address
      and the new address to which notice shall be given to it thereafter until
      further change.

	 	 	 
	17. 	
      GENERAL.

	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      This Agreement shall supersede and replace any other
      agreement or arrangement, whether oral or written, heretofore existing
      between the parties in respect of the subject matter of this
    Agreement.

	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      No consent or waiver expressed or implied by either party
      in respect of any breach or default by the other in the performance by
      such other of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be
      a consent to or a waiver of any other breach or default.

	 	 	 
		(c) 	
      The parties shall promptly execute or cause to be
      executed all documents, deeds, conveyances and other instruments of
      further assurance and do such further and other acts which may be
      reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out fully the intent of this
      Agreement or to record wherever appropriate the respective interest from
