that constitutes the Share Portion is calculated and ending on the Closing Date
(the “Intermediary
Period”), Royal Gold:

      Gold or any other issuer convertible into or exchangeable for or otherwise
      carrying the right to acquire Royal Gold Common Stock (the “Convertible
      Securities”), other than (A) the issue from time to time of Royal
      Gold Common Stock or Convertible Securities by way of stock dividend to
      holders who elect to receive Royal Gold Common Stock or Convertible
      Securities in lieu of cash dividends in the ordinary course or pursuant to

    (any of
those events being herein called a “Share
Reorganization”),

Stock are determined for the purposes of the Share Reorganization or the
effective date of the Share Reorganization if no record date is fixed, to a
number that is the product of (1) the Share Portion in effect on the record
date, or the effective date if no record date is fixed, and (2) a

      outstanding on the record date, or effective date if no record date is
      fixed, before giving effect to the Share
  Reorganization.

            

    

     

    For the
purposes of determining the number of Royal Gold Common Stock outstanding at any
particular time for the purpose of this Section 2(d) there shall be included
that number of Royal Gold Common Stock which would have resulted from the
conversion at that time of all outstanding Convertible Securities.

    (e)           If
during the Intermediary Period Royal Gold fixes a record date for the issuance
of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Royal
Gold Common Stock pursuant to which those holders are entitled to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire Royal Gold Common Stock or Convertible Securities
within a period of not more than 45 days from such record date at a price per
share, or at a conversion price per share, of less than 95% of the Current
Market Price on such record date (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering” and Royal
Gold Common Stock that may be acquired on exercise of the Rights Offering, or
upon conversion of the Convertible Securities offered by the Rights Offering,
being herein called the “Offered Royal Gold Common
Stock”), the Share Portion shall be adjusted effective immediately after
the applicable record date to a Share Portion that is the product of (1) the
Share Portion in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction:

      Stock outstanding on the record date plus (B) the number of Offered Royal
      Gold Common Stock offered pursuant to the Rights Offering or the maximum
      number of Offered Royal Gold Common Stock into which the Convertible
      Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as
      the case may be; and

              (A)

            	
              the
      number of Royal Gold Common Stock outstanding on the record date;
      and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              the
      number arrived at when (I) either the product of (a) the number of Offered
      Royal Gold Common Stock so offered and (b) the price at which such Offered
      Royal Gold Common Stock are offered, or the product of (c) the conversion
      price of the Offered Royal Gold Common Stock so offered and (d) the
      maximum number of Offered Royal Gold Common Stock for or into which the
      Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be
      converted, as the case may be, is divided by (II) the Current Market Price
      of Royal Gold Common Stock on the record date for the Rights
      Offering.

            

    

     

    If by the
terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this Section 2(e),
there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Offered Royal
Gold Common Stock, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Offered
Royal Gold Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate
conversion or exchange price of the Convertible Securities so offered, shall be
calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase,
conversion or exchange price per Offered Royal Gold Common Stock, as the case
may be.  Any Offered Royal Gold Common Stock owned by or held for the
account of Royal Gold or a Subsidiary of Royal Gold shall be deemed not to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; if all the rights, options
or warrants are not so issued or if all rights, options or warrants are not
exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Share Portion shall be readjusted
to the Share Portion in effect immediately prior to the record date, and the
Share Portion shall be further adjusted based upon the number of Offered Royal
Gold Common Stock (or Convertible Securities that are convertible into Offered
Royal Gold Common Stock ) actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights,
options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment
required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record
date.

    (f)           If
during the Intermediary Period there is a reorganization of Royal Gold not
otherwise provided for in Sections 2(d) and 2(e) or a consolidation, merger,
arrangement, amalgamation or acquisition of Royal Gold by, with or into another
body corporate including a transaction whereby all or substantially all of Royal
Gold’s assets become the property of any other Person through sale, lease,
exchange or otherwise (any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”),
Operator, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the Share
Portion to which it was theretofore entitled upon Closing, the aggregate amount
of cash and/or the aggregate number of Royal Gold Common Stock or other
securities or property of Royal Gold, or the continuing, successor or purchasing
Person, as the case may be, under the Capital Reorganization that Operator would
have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on
the effective date thereof, Operator had been the holder of the number of Royal
Gold Common Stock to which immediately before the transaction it was
entitled.  No Capital Reorganization shall be carried into effect
unless all necessary steps have been taken so that Operator shall thereafter be
entitled to receive the requisite amount of cash and/or the number of Royal Gold
Common Stock or other securities or property of Royal Gold or of the continuing,
successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, under the Capital
Reorganization, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions
the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Section
2.

     

    (g)           If
during the Intermediary Period Royal Gold reclassifies or otherwise changes the
issued and outstanding shares of Royal Gold Common Stock, the Share Portion
shall be adjusted effective immediately upon the reclassification becoming
effective so that if Operator thereafter shall be entitled to receive such Share
Portion as it would have received had the Share Portion been issued immediately
prior to the effective date, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with
provisions the same, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, as those contained
in this Sections 2(d) through (f).

     

    (h)           The
adjustments and readjustments provided for in Sections 2(d) through 2(g) are
cumulative and, apply (without duplication) to successive issues, subdivisions,
combinations, consolidations, distributions and any other events that require
adjustment of the Share Portion.

     

    (i)           Subject

      is ten business days after the date designated by Royal Gold pursuant to
      Section 2(i)(i) or mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section
      2(i)(ii), as the case may be; provided that the
      Operator has delivered written notice to Royal Gold pursuant to Section
      6(a)(vii)(A), and Royal Gold has delivered written notice to Operator of
      its intention to postpone the Closing Date by ten business
      days,

            

    

     

    provided, however that each
of the other conditions set forth in Section 6 and Section 7 (other than the
conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions) shall have been
satisfied or waived as of the designated or agreed date.

     

    3.      Representations and
Warranties of Operator.  Operator hereby represents and
warrants to Royal Gold, and acknowledges that Royal Gold is relying on such
representations and warranties in entering this Agreement, that:

     

    (a)           Organization and
Qualification; Subsidiaries.  Operator is a contractual mining
company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of Chile and has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to
carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  Operator
is otherwise duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or other
entity in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or properties
requires such qualification.  Operator does not have any
Subsidiaries.

     

    (b)           Authorization; No
Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance by Operator
of this Agreement and of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
have been duly authorized by all necessary shareholder and corporate action on
the part of Operator  and do not and will not (i) contravene
Operator’s Charter Documents; (ii) materially violate any provision of any
Governmental Requirement, order, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award presently in effect; (iii) result in a material breach of or
constitute a material default under or require the consent of any Person
pursuant to any indenture or loan, credit agreement, debenture or any other
agreement, lease or instrument to which Operator is a party or by which it or
its properties may be bound or affected; or (iv) result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the properties
now owned by Operator (other than the Liens created under the Royalty
Agreement), and (v) to the Knowledge of Operator, Operator is not in material
default under any such Governmental Requirement, judgment, injunction, decree,
determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or
instrument.

    (c)           Governmental and Other
Approvals.  No Approval of any Governmental Authority or other
third party is required for the due execution and delivery of, and the due
performance of all obligations of, Operator under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which it is a party, except for Approvals as have been
obtained or for which application has been made, for notices or filings
necessary to be made by Operator with the Central Bank of Chile in connection
with the acquisition of the Share Portion by Operator, and registration of the
mortgages referred to in Section 6(o) of the Royalty
Agreement.  Except as set out in Schedule 3(c), all
Approvals which are necessary to carry out the activities contemplated by
Operator with respect to the Project in the Project Studies have been obtained
by Operator and are in full force and effect in accordance with their terms,
free of material defaults (except those Approvals that are not necessary or
obtainable prior to the Closing Date or which have been applied for but not yet
received), and except as set out in Schedule 3(c),
Operator has not received any notice alleging a material breach or default under
any of the Approvals received to date or challenging or questioning the validity
of such Approvals.  With respect to Approvals applied for but not yet
received or to be applied for, Operator knows of no reason why such Approvals
should not be timely received as and when required.

     

    (d)           Binding
Obligations.  This Agreement is, and the other Transaction
Documents to which Operator is a party when delivered hereunder will be, the
legal, valid and binding obligations of Operator, enforceable against it in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws or equitable principles affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally at the time in effect.

     

    (e)           Litigation.  Except
as set forth in Schedule 3(e),
there is no claim, action, lawsuit, proceeding, arbitration, mediation or
investigation pending, or to the Knowledge of Operator threatened, against or
involving Operator, the Project or any portion of the Ancillary Property Rights
or the Subject Properties, which alleges the material violation of any
Governmental Requirement, or which questions the validity of this Agreement or
any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or to be taken
pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the Transaction Documents, or which
questions or challenges the nature or extent of the rights of Operator to the
Subject Properties, the Ancillary Property Rights or the Project, or which
involves any Material Agreement, or which could reasonably be expected to
result, either in any case or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect on
Operator.

     

    (f)           No Material Adverse
Change.  Since December 31, 2008, neither the business,
properties, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), condition (financial
or otherwise), capitalization, operation or results of operations of Operator,
have been affected by any change, effect, event or occurrence (whether or not
insured against) which could reasonably be expected to result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect on
Operator.

     

    (g)           Data and
Information.  Operator has heretofore made available to Royal
Gold all feasibility studies and all geological, reserve, engineering,
metallurgical and financial data and evaluations of the Project, the Ancillary
Property Rights and the Subject Properties prepared by or for the benefit of
Operator or otherwise in the possession and control of Operator which would
reasonably be expected to be material to Royal Gold (the “Project
Studies”).  The Project Studies have been prepared in good
faith based on reasonable assumptions, and Operator is not aware to its
Knowledge of any fact or state of affairs related thereto, or any defect or
deficiency therein, which would cause it to be unable to complete the Project
consistent with the most current capital cost estimates and construction
schedule in the Project Studies.  Since the date of the most recent
capital cost estimates and construction schedule in the Project Studies, to the
Knowledge of Operator, there has been no material change in the assumptions
underlying such estimates, or the basis therefor.

      Project.

State-owned company organized under the laws of Chile, owns 10% of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of Operator.  All such issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock are duly and validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable.

     

    (j)         Material Agreements; Absence
of Default; Other Agreements.  The Material Agreements of
Operator made available to Royal Gold include all material contracts,
agreements, leases, instruments and other binding commitments of Operator which
are necessary for the development and operation of the Project and any contract,
agreement, lease, instrument or other binding commitment where an alternative,
replacement or substitution is readily available on comparable terms as an

Material Agreements, it has not received any notice of an asserted default
thereunder from any other Person, and Operator has no Knowledge of a material

restriction which could reasonably be expected, upon a default thereunder or
otherwise, to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Operator or to materially
impair the ability of Operator to carry out its obligations under this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents.

individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect on Royal
Gold.

     

    (g)           Validity of Issuance of
Royal Gold Common Stock.  The shares of Royal Gold Common Stock
that constitute the Share Portion to be issued and delivered pursuant to this
Agreement, will, when issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and

    5.      Covenants of the
Parties.

     

    (a)           Access to
Information.  Prior to the Closing Date, to the extent
permitted by this Section 5(a) and any applicable Governmental Requirements,
Royal Gold shall be entitled, through its officers, employees and
representatives (including its legal advisors and accountants) (collectively,
the “Representatives”)
to make and continue such investigation of the properties, businesses and
operations of Operator (including the Project, the Ancillary Property Rights and
the Subject Properties) and such examination of the books and records of
Operator as Royal Gold reasonably requests and to make extracts and copies of
such books and records.  Any such investigation and examination shall
be conducted during regular business hours and under reasonable circumstances
and shall be subject to restrictions under applicable Governmental
Requirement.  Operator shall cause the officers, employees,
consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other representatives of
Operator to cooperate with Royal Gold and its Representatives in connection with
such investigation and examination, and Royal Gold and its Representatives shall
cooperate with Operator and their representatives and shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the
business.  No investigation pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall affect
any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any Party or any condition
to the obligations of the Parties.

    (b)           Exclusivity.  Prior
to the Closing Date, Operator shall not, other than pursuant to Metal Sales
Contracts in respect of concentrates including Subject Minerals, (i) sell,
assign, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or agree to sell,
assign, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any interest in the
production of Subject Minerals from the Project or the Subject Properties
(including entering into an Avío) or any other direct or indirect transfer of an
interest in the Project, the Ancillary Property Rights, the Subject Properties
or Operator’s other assets that would be inconsistent with, or would reasonably
be expected to impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions, (ii)
initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way
of furnishing non-public information or assistance) any inquiries or the making
of any proposal or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected
to lead to, any sale, assignment, lease, license, transfer or other disposition
of any interest in the production of Subject Minerals from the Project or the
Subject Properties (including entering into an Avío) or any other direct or
indirect transfer of an interest in the Project, Subject Properties or
Operator’s other assets that would be inconsistent with, or would reasonably be
expected to impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions, or (iii) enter
into discussions or negotiate with any Person in furtherance of such inquiries
or otherwise with respect to any sale, assignment, lease, license, transfer or
other disposition of any interest in the production of Subject Minerals from the
Project or the Subject Properties (including entering into an
Avío)  or any other direct or indirect acquisition of an interest in
the Project, the Ancillary Property Rights, the Subject Properties or Operator’s
assets that would be inconsistent with, or would reasonably be expected to
impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions.  For the
avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly acknowledge that notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 5(b), Operator will be entitled to negotiate and
enter into the Metal Sales Contracts and to provide information of Operator and
the Project required in connection therewith.

      Authorities any Approvals required to be obtained or made by Royal Gold or

      this Agreement and (C) making all necessary filings, and thereafter making
      any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement under any
      applicable Governmental Requirement; provided, however that Royal Gold
      or Operator shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making
      of all such filings, including providing copies of all such documents to
      the non-filing Party and its advisors prior to filing and discussing all
      reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection
      therewith.  Royal Gold or Operator shall furnish to each other
      all information reasonably required for any application or other filing to
      be made pursuant to any applicable Governmental Requirement in connection
      with the Transactions contemplated by this

Agreement.

              Notwithstanding

      falls wholly or partially within the Shaded Area, the Dayton Concessions
      will not be subject to the mortgages and prohibitions of the Royalty
      Agreement and will not be Mining Properties or Subject Properties provided, however, that
      if:

              a
      Dayton Concession falls wholly or partially within the Shaded Area and is
      reacquired by Operator or any Affiliate of Operator; such Dayton
      Concession shall be subject to the mortgages and prohibitions of the
      Royalty Agreement and will be part of the Mining Properties and Subject
      Properties; or

      Properties and Subject Properties until such time as the Dayton Concession
      is transferred to Dayton.

    Operator
shall, following consultation with Royal Gold, determine if any individual
exploitation mining concession or group of exploitation mining concessions owned
by Operator or any Affiliate of Operator that is wholly or partially within the
Shaded Area, overlaps with any of the Dayton Concessions and is required to be
transferred to Dayton in order to permit the transfer of the Dayton Concessions
to Dayton free of any overlap (each an “Overlapping Dayton
Concession”). To the extent that an Overlapping Dayton Concession is
transferred to Dayton and not thereafter reacquired, such Overlapping Dayton
Concession shall not be subject to the mortgages and prohibitions of the Royalty
Agreement and shall not be Mining Properties or Subject
Properties.  For greater certainty any interest in an Overlapping
Dayton Concession wholly or partially within the Shaded Area that is retained by
Operator following a transfer of an interest in Overlapping Dayton Concessions
to Dayton in accordance with this Agreement, shall be subject to the mortgages
and prohibitions of the Royalty Agreement and will be part of the Mining
Properties and Subject Properties.

      then such Dayton Concession or Overlapping Dayton Concession will be
      subject to the mortgages and prohibitions of the Royalty Agreement and

      concessions owned by third parties (each an “Overlapping Third-Party
      Concession” and collectively, the “Overlapping Third-Party

      the Overlapping Third-Party Concessions do not currently impact nor are

      Project, except where such impact could not reasonably be expected to have

      transferred or are transferred by Operator to Dayton, may be exploited by
      Dayton as if there were no overlapping between such Dayton Concessions or
      Overlapping Dayton Concessions and those mining concessions owned by
      Operator or an Affiliate of Operator; provided that in no
      event shall those Dayton Concessions or Overlapping Dayton Concessions
      affect: (i) the exploitation mining concessions wholly or partially
      located within the Circular Boundary; or (ii) the exploitation mining
      concessions that the Operator or any Affiliate of Operator now or in the
      future exploits as part of the Project wholly or partially within the
      Shaded Area Boundary and outside the Circular
  Boundary.

            

    

     

    (d)           Notice of
Developments.  Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the
other Party of any development or other information occurring after the date of
this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date which renders any representation,
warranty or statement contained in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto made
by such Party inaccurate or incomplete at any time prior to the Closing,
including any such development or information which first becomes known to such
Party after the date hereof.  Any written notice delivered pursuant to
this Section 5(d) shall not amend the Schedules in any way, nor shall it (or the
information contained therein) modify, affect, limit or otherwise qualify, in
any way, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, or be
deemed to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise
might have existed hereunder by reason of the development or
information.  The delivery of any written notice pursuant to this
Section 5(d) shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available
hereunder to the Party receiving such notice.

     

    (e)           Registration
Statement.  Royal Gold shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to cause the
shares of Royal Gold Common Stock that constitute the Share Portion to be issued
pursuant to a registration statement, which has become effective under the
Securities Act (the “Registration
Statement”).

     

    (f)           Listing.  Royal
Gold shall promptly prepare and file with the NASDAQ Global Select Market and
the Toronto Stock Exchange any required notification for listing the shares of

      Global Select Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange shall have
      conditionally agreed to list the shares of Royal Gold Common Stock that
      will constitute the Share Portion to be issued pursuant to this Agreement,

              (vii)

            	
              Approvals Under
      Environmental Laws. As of any Closing Date (but not upon a
      postponed Closing Date, if Royal Gold has elected to postpone the Closing
      Date by ten business days in accordance with Section 2(i)(iii)), no
      material Approval under any Environmental Laws, which is necessary for the
      construction or operation of the Project, will be either: (x) withdrawn or
      threatened to be withdrawn by any Governmental Authority; or (y)
      challenged or threatened to be challenged by any Person on non-frivolous
      grounds; provided
      that (A) Operator has provided written notice to Royal Gold prior
      to such proposed Closing Date describing in reasonable detail the factual
      circumstances giving rise to the condition set out in this Section
      6(a)(vii) not having been met and (B) Royal Gold has not on or prior to
      the Closing Time irrevocably waived its right to indemnity pursuant to
      Section 9(f)(i)(E) by written notice to Operator.   For
      purposes of greater certainty, if Royal Gold has waived its right to
      indemnity pursuant to Section 9(f)(i)(E), the Closing condition set forth
      in this Section 6(a)(vii) shall be deemed to be waived by Operator subject
      to the Closing occurring.

      Gold has elected on or after January 15, 2010 to postpone the Closing Date

      (if curable) within 15 days following
      receipt by Royal Gold of written notice of such breach describing the

shall be in effect a final, unappealable order restraining, enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; provided,
however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 8(d) shall not have initiated such proceeding or taken any action
in support of such proceeding (it being agreed that the Parties shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appeal any such order that is
appealable and diligently pursue such appeal); or

     

    (e)         by
either:

     

    (i)             Royal

business on such date (unless the failure to consummate the Closing is
attributable to a breach of this Agreement on the part of the Party seeking to
terminate this Agreement); provided, however, that the
terminating Party is not in material default of any of its obligations
hereunder.

event of termination of this Agreement by (i) Royal Gold, (ii) Operator, or
(iii) the mutual agreement of all Parties pursuant to this Section 8, written
notice thereof shall be given to the other Party and this Agreement shall
terminate without any further action by any of the Parties.

     

    Upon the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, each of the
Parties shall be relieved of any further duties and obligations under this
Agreement after the date of such termination; provided, however that no such
termination shall relieve any Party hereto from liability for any material
breach of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or for any
intentional and material breach of any representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement; provided,
further that the obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 5(h),
Section 8 and Sections 9(a)-(g), (m), (o) and (s) shall survive any such
termination and shall be enforceable after such termination.

     

    Neither
Royal Gold nor Operator may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in
Sections 6(a) or 6(b) to be satisfied as a basis for the termination of this
Agreement if such failure was caused by such Party’s failure to comply with or
perform any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this
Agreement.  

     

    9.      Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)           Governing
Law.  This Agreement is to be governed by and construed under
the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to those principles of
conflicts of laws that might otherwise require application of the laws of any
other jurisdiction.

              If
      for any reason any Dispute arising under this Agreement, either Party may
      deliver written notice to the other Party regarding such Dispute and the
      Dispute shall be determined by arbitration as provided in this Section
      9(b). THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
      JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING FROM
      OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

              All
      Disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under
      the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). The number of
      arbitrators shall be three. The place of Arbitration shall be Houston,
      Texas, USA. The language of the Arbitration shall be English. Judgment may
      be entered upon an award in any court of competent
      jurisdiction.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              The
      Party referring a Dispute to arbitration hereunder shall appoint an
      arbitrator in the arbitration petition and the respondent Party shall
      appoint an arbitrator in its response. If within 30 days after the date of
      the arbitration petition, the respondent has not appointed an arbitrator,
      such arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. Within 30 days of their
      appointment, the two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint a third
      arbitrator who shall preside over the arbitration panel. If the two
      arbitrators cannot agree on a third arbitrator within such 30 day period,
      the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the
  ICC.

              Notwithstanding
      the provisions of Section 9(b)(i), the arbitral tribunal shall have the
      power to grant interim measures of protection, but, without derogating
      from the commitment to arbitrate or the power of the arbitral tribunal to
      grant such measures, it shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement for
      a party to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an interim
      measure of protection pending the commencement or completion of
      arbitration.

              In
      any arbitration, or in any court proceeding authorized to be taken under
      this Agreement, the arbitral tribunal or the court, as the case may be,
      shall in addition to any other relief, be entitled to make an award or
      enter a judgment, as the case may be, for reasonable attorney’s fees and
      disbursements, including experts witness fees, and any other costs of the
      proceeding. The arbitration panel may only award damages as provided for
      under the terms of this Agreement and in no event may punitive,
      consequential or special damages be
awarded.

      may be commenced in respect of the
Disputes.

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on and enforceable

              such
      Subsidiary shall first have covenanted with Operator that if at any time
      thereafter and prior to the Closing Date it ceases or proposes to cease to
      be a Subsidiary of Royal Gold then such Subsidiary shall immediately, and
      effective prior to ceasing to be a Subsidiary of the Royal Gold, assign
      all or any part of its rights, liabilities and obligations under this
      Agreement back to Royal Gold;

      to be a Subsidiary, assign to Royal Gold all or any part of its rights,
      liabilities and obligations under this Agreement;

              (iv)

            	
              any
      assignment by Royal Gold will not release Royal Gold of its obligation to
      issue the shares of Royal Gold Common Stock that constitute the Share
      Portion to be issued and registered in the name of Operator pursuant to
      this Agreement.

            

    

     

    (e)          Survival.  All
covenants, agreements, and indemnities made under this Agreement shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing Date
until such covenants, agreements and indemnities have been performed or
satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof.  All representations
and warranties made under this Agreement shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing Date for a period of
two years from the Closing Date, except that any representation and warranty
shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which a Party seeking
indemnification under Section 9(f) has, prior to the expiration of such two year
period, previously made a claim against the other indemnifying Party by
delivering written notice in accordance this Agreement.

              Subject
      to Section 9(f)(iii), Operator agrees to indemnify Royal Gold from and
      against, and to hold Royal Gold harmless from any and all liabilities,
      obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
      claims, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (collectively
      “Losses”) which
      may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Royal Gold
      in any way relating to or arising out of (A) any breach by Operator or any
      misrepresentation or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of
      Operator contained in this Agreement or in any document, instrument or
      agreement delivered pursuant hereto other than the Royalty Agreement; (B)
      any breach or non-performance by Operator of any covenant or agreement to
      be performed by Operator contained in this Agreement or in any document,
      instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto other than the Royalty
      Agreement; (C) except as set forth on Schedule 3(c),
      the failure of Operator on or prior to the Closing Date to comply with any
      Governmental Requirement, including any Governmental Requirement or
      Approvals relating to environmental protection and reclamation
      obligations, with respect to the Subject Properties or the Ancillary
      Property Rights; (D) the physical environmental condition of the Subject
      Properties or the Ancillary Property Rights and matters of health or
      safety related to the Subject Properties or Ancillary Property Rights on
      or prior to the Closing Date or any action or claim brought with respect
      to either; and (E) if both Parties have waived their respective conditions
      to Closing in Sections 6(a)(vii) and 6(b)(ix) (but not in the case where
      Operator has been deemed to have waived such condition to Closing pursuant
      to the final sentence of Section 6(a)(vii)), any actual or threatened
      withdrawal by any Governmental Authority, as at the Closing Date, of any
      material Approval under Environmental Laws which is necessary for the
      construction or operation of the Project, or any actual or threatened
      challenge by any Person, as at the Closing Date, to any material Approval
      under Environmental Laws which is necessary for the construction or
      operation of the Project.

              Subject
      to Sections 9(f)(iii), Royal Gold agrees to indemnify Operator from and
      against, and to hold Operator harmless from, any and all Losses which may
      at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Operator in any
      way relating to or arising out of (A) any breach by Royal Gold or any
      misrepresentation or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Royal
      Gold contained in this Agreement or in any document, instrument or
      agreement delivered pursuant hereto other than the Royalty Agreement; and
      (B) any breach or non-performance by Royal Gold of any covenant or

              In
      no event will either Party be liable to the other Party for any lost
      profits or incidental, indirect, speculative, consequential, special,
      punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind (whether based in contract,
      tort, including negligence, strict liability, fraud, or otherwise, or
      statutes, regulations, or any other theory) arising out of or in
      connection with this Agreement, even if advised of such potential
      damages.

            

    

     

    (g)         Expenses.  Each
of the Parties agrees to bear and pay its own costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (“Transaction Expenses”), provided, however that
Operator shall pay all of the Transaction Expenses incurred by Royal Gold if
Operator terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 8 or otherwise
decides not to proceed with the Transactions unless Royal Gold is in material
breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement at the time of such
termination.

Assurances.  The Parties shall from time to time execute all
such further instruments and documents and do all such further actions as may be
necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

     

    (i)           Force
Majeure.  The obligation of Operator in respect of the
development, construction, and operation of the Project and shipment of copper
concentrate to any smelter, refiner or other processor or purchaser under any
Metal Sales Contract shall be suspended to the extent and for the period that
performance is prevented by any cause, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable,
beyond its reasonable control (except for lack of funds), including, without
limitation, labour disputes (however arising and whether employee demands are
reasonable or within the power of the parties to grant); acts of God; laws,
regulations, orders, proclamations, instructions or requests of any government
or governmental entity; judgments or orders of any court; inability to obtain on
reasonably acceptable terms any public or private license, permit or other
authorization; curtailment or suspension of activities to remedy or avoid an
actual or alleged, present or prospective violation of federal, territorial or
local environmental standards; acts of war, whether declared or undeclared;
riot, civil strife, insurrection or rebellion; fire, explosion, earthquake,
storm, flood, sink holes, drought or other adverse weather conditions; delay or
failure by suppliers or transporters of materials, machinery, equipment,
supplies, utilities or services; accidents; breakdown of equipment, machinery or
facilities; or any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing
beyond the reasonable control of Operator (“Force
Majeure”).  Operator shall promptly give notice to Royal Gold
of the suspension of performance, stating therein the nature of the suspension,
the reasons therefore, and the expected duration thereof.  Operator
shall resume performance as soon as reasonably possible.  Except as
expressly set forth in Sections 9(i) and 5(k), the obligations of Operator under
this Agreement shall not be affected by any Force Majeure.

     

    (j)           Nature of
Interests.  All of the covenants, conditions, and terms of this
Agreement shall (i) be of benefit to the Parties, and (ii) bind and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

     

    (k)          No
Partnership.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
create, expressly or by implication, a joint venture, mining partnership,
commercial partnership, or other partnership of any kind or as imposing upon any
Party any partnership duty, obligation or liability or any fiduciary duty,
obligation or liability to any other Party at any time before or after the
Closing Date.

     

    (l)           Specific
Performance.  Without limiting or waiving in any respect any
rights or remedies of the Parties under this Agreement now or hereafter existing
at law in equity or by statute, Royal Gold shall be entitled to such specific
performance of the obligations to be performed by Operator hereto in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and Operator shall be entitled to specific
performance of the obligations of Royal Gold set forth in Sections 5(q) and
5(c)(vi) through 5(c)(xiii) of this Agreement and such remedies shall, however,
be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies
which Royal Gold or Operator may have under this Agreement or
otherwise.

    (m)         Business
Opportunity.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, each Party shall have the right
independently to engage in and receive full benefits from its business
activities, whether or not competitive with the other Party, without consulting
the other Party.  The doctrines of “corporate opportunity” or
“business opportunity”
shall not be applied to any other activity of any Party at any time before or
after the Closing Date.

     

    (n)          Time of the
Essence.  Time is of the essence in this
Agreement.

     

    (o)          Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality
Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents and the Schedules and Exhibits
attached hereto and thereto are the complete expression of the entire agreement
of the Parties, and no oral promise, statement or representation not contained
herein shall be binding on the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by
the Parties.  Subject to express covenants of the Parties contained in
Section 5(q) of this Agreement, if during the period of time following the
signing of the Royalty Agreement and prior to the Closing Date there are any
discrepancies between the legal interpretations of either:

      adjustments to the Share Portion set forth in Sections 2(d) through 2(h)
      of this Agreement and the provisions of Schedule D of
      the Royalty Agreement, or

      conditions of closing in Section 6 and closing arrangements in Section 7
      of this Agreement and the Condiciones
  Suspensivas,

            

    

     

    then the
Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that (x) the provision of this Agreement
shall govern; and (y) subject to the express covenants of the Parties contained
in Section 5(q) of this Agreement, any Dispute with respect to such matters on
or prior to Closing shall be governed by the
provisions of Section 9(b) of this Agreement and not the dispute resolution
provisions of the Royalty Agreement.

     

    (p)          Waiver and
Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended, modified or
changed, nor shall any waiver of any provision hereof be effective, except by
means of a written instrument that has been executed by the Party or Parties to
be bound.

     

    (q)          Counterparts; Exchange by
Facsimile or Electronic Delivery.  This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute but one single
instrument.  This Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or
electronic delivery.

    the
amount of Subject Minerals shall be determined using a metallurgical recovery
rate of 61% of the gold contained in ore milled, regardless of the actual
metallurgical recovery rate.  For the avoidance of doubt, as an
example of the manner of the determination of the Subject Minerals during this
period prior to the Recovery Test Completion Date and as illustration of the
intent of the Parties with respect to such determination:

     

    If there
are 1,000 troy ounces of gold contained in the ore milled during a calendar
month which is more than six months after the first introduction of ore to the
mill but before the Recovery Test Completion Date, the Subject Minerals for such
month shall be 610 troy ounces regardless of whether the actual metallurgical
recovery rate for such month is greater than or less than 61%.  For
the purposes of the foregoing, the gold contained in ore milled shall be
calculated in accordance with Schedule
A.

     

    and provided further, for
greater certainty, any gold contained within slimes produced from the processing
of oxide copper mineralization and associated copper cathode production from the
supergene deposit on the Subject Properties through the Operator’s SX-EW plant
will be deemed not to be Subject Minerals for the purposes of this
Agreement.

      II(b) of Schedule B,
      which duly signed by the appearing Parties is part of the instrument
      herein and is recorded at the end of the registry of the Notary who
      legalizes this public deed, under number [_____].  Schedule B,
      Part I contains a map to facilitate the visual identification of the
      coordinates set forth in Schedule B,
      Part II(b).  In case of any discrepancy between the map in Schedule B,
      Part I and the coordinates set forth in Schedule B,
      Part II(b), the coordinates set forth in Schedule B,
      Part II(b) shall prevail. For greater certainty the mining concessions
      that meet the aforementioned requirements are or will from time to time be
      part of the Mining Properties and the Subject Properties and, therefore,
      are or will from time to time be subject to this Agreement, and for
      further certainty exclude any exploitation mining concessions located
      wholly outside the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates in Part II(b)
      of Schedule
      B provided
      however such Subject Properties will not include any Dayton
      Concession transferred to Dayton in accordance with this Agreement and not
      thereafter reacquired.

                consent
      to and permit the transfer to Dayton of any Dayton Concession free and
      clear of any Liens (including the Royalty and the mortgages and
      prohibitions evidenced in this
Agreement);

      (i)          Operator
and Royal Gold acknowledge and agree that some of the exploitation mining
concessions described in Section 1(d) that are located wholly or partially
within the Circular Boundary and the Shaded Area Boundary overlap or are
overlapped by exploitation mining concessions owned by third parties (each an
“Overlapping Third-Party
Concession” and collectively, the “Overlapping Third-Party
Concessions”). Operator represents and warrants to Royal Gold that the
Overlapping Third-Party Concessions do not currently impact nor are they
expected to impact in the future the activities or operations of the Project,
except where such impact could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

       

      (j)          Royal
Gold and Operator acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations of the
Parties under this Agreement shall be exercised in such a way that the Dayton
Concessions to be Transferred or are Transferred by Operator to Dayton pursuant
to the Dayton Agreement, may be exploited by Dayton as if there were no
overlapping between such Dayton Concessions and those mining concessions owned
by Operator or an Affiliate of Operator; provided that in no event
shall those Dayton Concessions affect: (i) the exploitation mining concessions
wholly or partially located within the Circular Boundary; or (ii) the
exploitation mining concessions that the Operator or any Affiliate of Operator
now or in the future exploits as part of the Project wholly or partially within
the Shaded Area Boundary and outside the Circular Boundary.

      2.           Purchase and Sale of the
Royalty.

       

      (a)           Operator
hereby grants, sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to Royal Gold, and Royal
Gold purchases from Operator, the Royalty free and clear of any Lien (other than
any Lien created by this Agreement) in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  This sale, assignment and
transfer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent
for effectiveness (condiciones
suspensivas) set forth herein and in Schedule C (the
“Condiciones
Suspensivas”), including but not limited to the registration of the
mortgage and prohibitions mentioned under Sections 6(p) and 6(q) and the payment
to Operator of the Purchase Price mentioned hereto below.  This Schedule C, duly
signed by the appearing Parties, is part of the instrument herein and is
recorded at the end of the registry of the Notary who legalizes this public
deed, under the same number of the same.  This Agreement and any
registration, guarantee, security interest (caución), or annotation
related thereto, including those relating to the mortgage and prohibitions
mentioned under Sections 6(p) and 6(q), will terminate immediately, ipso facto, without the need
of any declaration, judicial or otherwise, further action from, or document
executed by, any of the Parties, if the Condiciones Suspensivas have not been
satisfied or waived on or before February 16, 2010, which circumstance for all
legal purposes will be demonstrated solely by the lack of execution by the
Parties of  a public deed granted on this same Notarial Office on or
before February 16, 2010, leaving record of the satisfaction or waiver of the
Condiciones Suspensivas, and expressly waiving their right to request the
termination (resolución) of the sale of
the Royalty, as provided in articles 1489 and 1873 of the Chilean Civil Code
(the “Deed of
Release”).  If this Agreement has terminated as provided above,
(i) Operator will be entitled to request to Royal Gold’s Agent, as provided in
the Irrevocable Mandate, to execute on behalf of Royal Gold and together with
Operator, a public deed whereby it is declared that this Agreement has
terminated because the Condiciones Suspensivas have failed, and including any
provision considered necessary or desirable to request the cancellation of the
registrations eventually made as provided herein (the “Deed of Cancellation”) and
(ii) Royal Gold will be entitled to request to Operator’s Agent, as provided in
the Irrevocable Mandate, to execute on behalf of Operator and together with
Royal Gold a Deed of Cancellation.

       

      In
accordance with article 1813 of the Chilean Civil Code, the Parties hereby
expressly state that the Royalty is an aleatory payment (pago aleatorio) contingent on
the proceeds obtained from the exploitation of the Subject Properties and thus
the sale of the same is not subject to the condition that such proceeds
exist.  The Royalty shall be calculated in accordance with Section 3
below.

       

      (b)           The
purchase price for the Royalty shall be paid on the Closing Date as follows: (i)
by issuing and delivering to Operator 1,204,136 shares of Royal Gold Common
Stock (the “Share
Portion”) and which number of shares shall be adjusted on or prior to the
Closing Date as provided in Schedule D herein,
which duly signed by the appearing Parties is part of the instrument herein and
is recorded at the end of the registry of the Notary who legalizes this public
deed, under the same number of the same; and (ii) by paying $217,942,500.00 in
cash or immediately available funds (the “Cash Portion” and together
with Share Portion, the “Purchase Price”), by means of
an electronic transfer of funds in that exact amount.  Upon payment of
the Purchase Price and satisfaction or waiver of the other Condiciones
Suspensivas, the Parties shall execute the Deed of Release which for greater
clarity will be on the date the last of the Condiciones Suspensivas has been
satisfied or waived.

       

      (c)           As
used in this Agreement, “Closing Date” means the later
of the date:

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (i)

              	
                to
      be designated by Royal Gold, which date shall be no later than the fifth
      business day after Royal Gold and its Chilean counsel have received, to
      their reasonable satisfaction:

                (A)

              	
                for
      each of the Mining Properties, the following certificates from the
      relevant Mining Register: (X) mortgages and encumbrances, (Y)
      interdictions and prohibitions, and (Z) ownership;
  and

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (B)

              	
                authorized
      copies of the registrations made evidencing the mortgages and grant of
      prohibition under this Agreement;

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (ii)

              	
                that
      is mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties;
  and

              

      

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (iii)

              	
                that
      is ten business days after the date designated by Royal Gold pursuant to
      Section 2(c)(i) or mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section
      2(c)(ii), as the case may be; provided that Operator
      has delivered written notice to Royal Gold pursuant to Section
      2(a)(viii)(A) of Schedule C, and
      Royal Gold has delivered written notice to Operator of its intention to
      postpone the Closing Date by ten business
days,

              

      

      

      provided, however that each
of the other Condiciones Suspensivas (other than the conditions which by their
nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of each of such conditions) shall have been satisfied or waived as of the
designated or agreed date.

       

      3.           Royalty.

       

      (a)           As
used in this Agreement, the “Royalty” means an interest in
the Subject Minerals when produced from the Subject Properties granted by
Operator to Royal Gold free and clear of any Lien (other than any Lien created
by this Agreement) and determined and payable as provided in this
Agreement.  The Royalty shall be calculated each month, adjusted each
calendar quarter, and shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i)
the Payable Subject Minerals by (ii) the Applicable Rate and then multiplying
the resulting product by (iii) the Net Reference Price.

       

      (b)           As
used in this Agreement, “Payable Subject Minerals”
mean, the number of troy ounces of Subject Minerals shipped during a calendar
month to a smelter, refiner, other processor or purchaser multiplied by the
Payable Factor.

       

      (c)           As
used in this Agreement, “Applicable Rate” means 75%
until such time as the cumulative Payable Subject Minerals under this Agreement
after the Closing Date is equal to 910,000 troy ounces and 50%
thereafter.

       

      (d)           As
used in this Agreement, “Reference Price” means the
monthly average of the daily official London Bullion Market afternoon quotations
for gold quoted in dollars per ounce and calculated to two decimal places as
reported by the London Bullion Market Association.  If the London
Bullion Market Association ceases to publish such quotations for gold, the
Reference Price shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Parties,
acting reasonably, and if such agreement cannot be reached within five business
days of the London Bullion Market Association ceasing to publish the price for
gold by arbitration in accordance with Section 7(b) of this
Agreement.

      (e)           As
used in this Agreement, “Allowable Refining Charge”
means (i) for purposes of the calculation of the Royalty under Section 4(a), the
lesser of (A) $6.00 per payable troy ounce of gold for the month or (B) the
weighted average refining charge per payable troy ounce of gold for the month in
the applicable Metals Sales Contracts, and (ii) for purposes of the calculation
of the Quarterly Adjustment to the Royalty under Section 4(c), the lesser of (A)
$6.00 per payable troy ounce of gold for the quarter or (B) the weighted average
refining charge per payable troy ounce of gold for the quarter in the applicable
Metals Sales Contracts.

       

      (f)           As
used in this Agreement, “Net
Reference Price” means (i) the Reference Price minus (ii) the Allowable
Refining Charge.

       

      4.           Time and Manner of Payment
of the Royalty.

       

      (a)           Beginning
in the calendar month in which copper concentrate produced from the Subject
Properties is first shipped to any smelter, refiner or other processor or
purchaser, the Royalty shall be computed, accrued and paid, if applicable, on a
monthly basis within 15 days after the end of each calendar
month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator shall be required to
pay at that time only that percentage of the Royalty due in respect of any
Subject Minerals that is equal to the percentage of the payment that Operator
has received or has been credited with payment for the sale or disposition of
such Subject Minerals at that time under the Metal Sales Contract; provided, however, that
Operator shall bear all risk of loss of material in the event of a loss in
transit of any Subject Minerals shipped to any third party smelter, refiner or
other processor or purchaser under any Metal Sales Contract and the Royalty
shall be paid solely from, and at the time of, the Operator’s receipt of
insurance benefits paid in respect of such loss.

       

      For the
avoidance of doubt, as an example of the manner of the determination of the
timing of the Royalty and as illustration of the intent of the Parties with
respect to such determination:

       

      If copper
concentrate is shipped on February 15, and Operator has received or been
credited with payment of 85% of the net smelter return during the month of
February, Royal Gold shall receive 85% of the Royalty based on the Payable
Subject Minerals in such shipment on March 15, or the next business day
following thereafter if March 15 is not a business day.  If Operator
has received or been credited with payment of the remaining 15% of the net
smelter return payable on April 15, Royal Gold shall receive the remaining 15%
of the Royalty based on the Payable Subject Minerals in such shipment on May 15
or the next business day following thereafter if May 15 is not a business
day.

       

      (b)           Each
Royalty paid by Operator to Royal Gold shall be accompanied by a statement
(“Royalty Statement”) in
reasonable detail sufficient to allow Royal Gold to determine the method of
computation of such Royalty and the accuracy thereof.  Each Royalty
Statement shall include the number of troy ounces of Subject Minerals shipped to
a smelter, refiner, other processor or purchaser during the applicable calendar
month, and the Payable Subject Minerals, Payable Factor, Applicable Rate,
Reference Price and Allowable Refining Charge then in effect, as well as any
other pertinent information, in sufficient detail to explain the calculation of
the Royalty.

      (c)           Within
15 days of the end
of each calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31),
Operator will reconcile, on an aggregate basis, any adjustments (up or down) to
the Royalty Statements as may be necessary for such quarter to reflect the
difference between the Royalty, as calculated and paid on a monthly basis, and
the Royalty calculated for such quarter, reflecting (i) the Allowable Refining
Charges calculated for such calendar quarter, (ii) any adjustments to the weight
or grade of the concentrate made pursuant to any Metal Sales Contract during
such quarter and (iii) to the extent that the average Payable Factor for such
calendar quarter is less than 90.6%, to increase the Royalty in respect of such
calendar quarter to reflect a deemed Payable Factor of 90.6% (each a “Quarterly Adjustment”).  In
the event the Quarterly Adjustment reflects a balance owing to Royal Gold, the
Operator shall provide written notice to Royal Gold of the amount of such
underpayment and will pay such Quarterly Adjustment in accordance with Section
4(a) of this Agreement.  In the event the Quarterly Adjustment
reflects an overpayment to Royal Gold, the Operator shall provide written notice
to Royal Gold of the amount of such overpayment and shall be entitled to deduct
such amount of the Quarterly Adjustment from any Royalties owing to Royal
Gold.

       

      (d)           Royal
Gold, at its sole election and expense, shall have the right to perform audits
of Operator’s accounts relating to the Royalty Statements.  Any such
inspection shall be for a reasonable length of time during regular business
hours, at a mutually convenient time, upon at least 10 business days’ prior
written notice by Royal Gold, subject at all times to the workplace rules and
supervision of Operator, and provided that any rights of access do not interfere
with any exploration, development, mining or milling activities conducted on the
Subject Properties.  Each Royalty Statement shall be final and binding
on Operator and not subject to subsequent modification by Operator, except to
the extent necessary to account for a final settlement made by a smelter or
refinery in respect of a provisional payment that was previously included in the
calculation of a Royalty as set forth in a Quarterly
Adjustment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Royal Gold may by written
notice to Operator delivered within one year after the receipt of a Royalty
Statement object to a payment of the Royalty to which such Royalty Statement
relates.  Such notice shall specify the basis for the objection in
reasonable detail.  Subject to Section 7(b), Operator shall be
required to account for any deficit in the payment of such Royalty which was the
subject of such objection.  For greater certainty, if it is determined
by agreement of the Parties or by arbitration that any Royalty has not been
properly paid in full, Operator shall make the balance of such Royalty owing
within 10 days of
such agreement or arbitral award.

       

      (e)           Except
to the extent that Royal Gold has exercised its right to take all or a portion
of the Royalty in kind pursuant to Section 4(f), all payments of the Royalty
shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to Royal Gold on or before the due date at an account designated by Royal
Gold and communicated to Operator at least five days prior to the due
date.

      (f)           To
the extent that physical gold is made available to Operator in the case of gold
recovered from concentrate, Royal Gold may elect, upon 15 days’ written notice
to Operator prior to the first day of the first calendar month for which such
election shall be effective, to take all or a portion of the Royalty in kind by
physical delivery of the refined gold.   During any period in
which Royal Gold has elected to take the Royalty for gold in kind, Operator
shall make the refined gold bullion available to Royal Gold at the place where
the bullion has been refined on the date for payment of the
Royalty.  The bullion shall be in the form in which Operator sells or
otherwise disposes of the same.  Operator shall provide at least 10
days’ prior notice to Royal Gold of the name and location of the refinery or
smelter and the date or dates on which the bullion will be available to Royal
Gold.

       

      5.           General Covenants Regarding
the Royalty.

       

      (a)           Hedging Transactions:
Futures, Options and Other Trading.  No profits or losses
resulting from any hedging agreements, commodity futures trading, option
trading, metals trading, gold loan forward sale, option, swap, price collar of
fixing contract off-take agreement or any combination thereof, and any other
similar transactions by Operator shall be subject to the Royalty and all such
transactions by Operator, and any profits or losses associated therewith, shall
be solely for the account of Operator engaging in such transactions and shall
not be included in the calculation of the Royalty.

       

      (b)           Commingling.  Operator shall be entitled to
commingle Subject Minerals and minerals from any other properties during the
production, milling (concentrating), refining, minting or further processing of
Subject Minerals.  Before any Subject Minerals produced from any of
the Subject Properties are commingled with minerals from other properties, the
Subject Minerals shall be weighed, measured, sampled and analyzed in accordance
with sound mining and metallurgical practices and in accordance with a written
plan in reasonable detail previously submitted to Royal Gold so that quantities of
gold and the Royalty can be reasonably and accurately
determined.  Representative samples of the Subject Minerals produced
from the Subject Properties shall be retained by Operator and assays (including
moisture and penalty substances) and other appropriate analyses of these samples
shall be made before commingling to determine metal, commercial minerals, and
other appropriate content.  Detailed records shall be kept by Operator
showing measures, moisture, assays of metal, commercial minerals, and other
appropriate mineral content of Subject Minerals produced from the Subject
Properties, and copies of all such records shall be provided to Royal Gold on a
contemporaneous basis.  From this information, Operator shall
determine the amount of the Royalty due and payable to Royal Gold from the
Subject Minerals produced from the Subject Properties that are to be commingled
with minerals from other properties.  If Royal Gold does not object in
respect of a payment of the Royalty within the period for objection specified in
Section 4(d), Operator may dispose of the measurement and sampling materials and
data required to be kept and produced by this Section 5(b).

       

      (c)           Books and
Records.  Operator shall keep true and accurate books and
records of all of its operations and activities under this Agreement or which
would affect any Royalty under this Agreement.  Such books and records
shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied.  Operator shall keep for a period of not less
than three years, all records and information relating to the calculation and
payment of the Royalty, including accurate records of tonnage, volume of
production, analyses of products, weight, moisture, assays of pay metal content,
refining charges and other related records and information.

      Notwithstanding
this Sections 5(d), Operator shall have no obligation to provide any Person to
act as a qualified person in respect of, provide qualified person consents or
certificates in respect of or otherwise certify for or on behalf of Royal Gold,
any mineral reserve and resource statements, reports, press releases or other
documentation of any kind.

      (e)           Inspections.  At
any reasonable time during normal business hours and from time to time, on
reasonable prior notice, Operator shall permit Royal Gold acting through its
officers, employees and representatives (the “Representatives”), acting
reasonably and at their own expense, to review, examine and make copies of and
abstracts from the books and records of Operator referred to in Section 5(c) and
to visit and inspect the properties of Operator (including the Subject
Properties, the Ancillary Property Rights and all improvements thereto and
operations thereon) and to discuss the operations, technical findings, affairs,
finances and accounts of Operator and other matters affecting Operator and its
properties with the officers of Operator (the “Confidential
Information”).  To the extent permitted under the Metal Sales
Contracts, Royal Gold and its Representatives shall also have the right to be
present or to be represented at any smelter, refinery or other processing
facility at which the weighing, sampling and assaying of metals and the
calculation of the Royalty will be determined and any information or
documentation obtained from those visits or investigations shall also be
considered part of the Confidential Information.  Operator shall not
be responsible for injuries to or damages suffered by Royal Gold or its
Representatives while visiting the properties of the Operator (including the
Subject Properties) unless such injuries or damages are caused or contributed to
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Operator or its
representatives.  Royal Gold and its Representatives shall not permit
their activities permitted by this Section 5(e) to unreasonably interfere with
the business and operations of Operator and its properties, including the
Project site, or at any mill or processor at which Subject Minerals may be
processed, and agree that such inspections shall be subject to the
confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.  Such site inspection
activities shall also be subject to supervision of Operator, conducted in
compliance with Governmental Requirements and Operator’s safety and workplace
rules and procedures.  Royal Gold and its Representative shall
diligently complete any audit or other examination permitted
hereunder.

       

      6.           Additional Covenants of the
Parties.

       

      (a)           Maintenance of
Insurance.  Operator will maintain, with financially sound and
reputable insurance companies, property, liability, business interruption,
construction and other insurance covering Operator and its operations, the
Project, the Ancillary Property Rights and the Subject Properties and covering
at least such risks, liabilities, damages and loss as are usually insured
against at mining operations of similar size and scope in Chile.

       

      (b)           Preservation of Existence,
Etc.  Operator shall preserve and maintain its existence,
rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
formation; and, Operator will maintain the qualifications required in view of
its business and operations or the ownership of its
properties.  Operator shall not, except with 60 days’ prior
written notice to Royal Gold and as provided in Section 6(o)(ii) of this
Agreement, as applicable, liquidate or dissolve, or enter into any
consolidation, amalgamation or merger, or enter into any partnership, joint
venture or other combination where such combination involves a contribution by
Operator of all or substantially all of its assets, or sell, lease or dispose of
its business or assets as a whole or in an amount which constitutes
substantially all of such assets, or sell, lease or dispose of all or
substantially all of the Subject Properties or the Ancillary Property Rights, or
enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing or agree to do or
undertake any of the foregoing.

       

      (c)           Maintenance of the
Project.  Operator shall not, directly or indirectly, except
with 60 days’ prior written notice to Royal Gold, abandon, delay, forego or stop
the exploration, development, construction or operation of the Project, or
abandon, relinquish, terminate or allow the termination of any claim, lease,
title or interest within or forming part of the Subject Properties or the
Ancillary Property Rights, or abandon, relinquish, terminate or, to the extent
it is within Operator’s control, allow the termination of any Approval necessary
for the development, construction or operation of the Project, except for
cessation of operations under care and maintenance, as a result of a Force
Majeure, pursuant to any Governmental Requirement or to protect life, limb or
property.

      (d)           Notice of Default or
Insolvency Proceedings.  Operator shall furnish to Royal Gold
as soon as possible and in any event within three business days after the
occurrence of any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of
Operator under this Agreement, written notice setting forth the details of such
breach, and the action that Operator proposes to take with respect
thereto.  Operator shall also furnish to Royal Gold immediate written
notice if either: (i) Operator or any of its shareholders or Subsidiaries
commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law now or hereafter in effect; (ii) Operator or any of its shareholders or
Subsidiaries consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case
under any such law or to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official
of any substantial part of its assets; (iii) Operator or any of its shareholders
or Subsidiaries make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv)
Operator or any of its shareholders or Subsidiaries takes corporate or other
action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or (v) entry is made against

of competent jurisdiction in an involuntary case commenced under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter
in effect.

       

      (e)           Material
Agreements.  Operator shall comply with the terms and
conditions of each of the Material Agreements, except where any non-compliance
could not reasonably be expected to cause a default under such Material
Agreement or have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (f)           Confidentiality.  Royal
Gold shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, without the express
written consent of Operator, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, disclose any non-public data or information concerning Operator’s
operations or the Subject Properties or otherwise obtained under this Agreement;
or otherwise issue any press releases concerning operations or the Subject
Properties; provided,
however, that Royal Gold may disclose any data or information obtained
under or in connection with this Agreement without the consent of Operator: (i)
if required to be made for compliance with any law, regulation or a requirement
or order of a court having jurisdiction over Royal Gold or its Affiliates,
provided that Royal Gold shall disclose only such data or information as, in the
opinion of its counsel, is required to be disclosed and provided further that Royal
Gold shall promptly notify Operator in writing to permit Operator to have the
opportunity to provide comments on the disclosure and to contest or seek to
obtain an injunction or protective order or other remedy restricting the
disclosure of such information; (ii) if required by Royal Gold’s securities
exchanges or securities regulatory authority, provided that Royal Gold shall
promptly notify Operator in writing to permit Operator to have the opportunity
to provide comments on the disclosure; (iii) to any of Royal Gold’s
Representatives; (iv) to any third party to whom Royal Gold, in good faith,
anticipates selling or assigning any portion of Royal Gold’s interest hereunder;
or (v) to a prospective lender to whom any portion of Royal Gold’s interest
hereunder is proposed to be granted as security; provided further that Royal Gold will
(A) retain the Confidential Information in confidence and will only disclose it
to those Representatives or third parties in the case of clauses (iii) through
(v) above, on a need to know basis where those Representatives or third parties
have been informed of and agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 6(f) as
if those Representatives or third parties were party to this Agreement; (B)
ensure that proper and secure storage is provided for the Confidential
Information; (C) not use any such Confidential Information for its own use or
benefit, except for the purpose of enforcing its rights under this Agreement or
for the purposes stated in this Section 6(f); and (D) ensure that none of its
Representatives or third parties to which access has been granted to
Confidential Information as provided herein, does any act or thing which, if
done by Royal Gold, would constitute a breach of the undertakings contained in
this Agreement.

                (i)

              	
                Operator
      shall at all times comply in all material respects with all applicable
      Governmental Requirement relating to Operator’s operations on or with
      respect to the Subject Properties and the Ancillary Property Rights,
      including but not limited to Environmental Laws; provided, however,
      Operator shall have the right to contest any of the same if such contest
      does not jeopardize title to or its operations on the Subject Properties,
      the Ancillary Property Rights or Royal Gold’s rights under this
      Agreement.

      shall timely and fully perform in all material respects all environmental
      protection and reclamation activities required on or with respect to the
      Subject Properties and the Ancillary Property
  Rights.

              

      

       

      (h)          Stockpiling.  Except
pursuant to a Metal Sales Contract, Operator shall be entitled to stockpile,
store or place ores or mined rock containing minerals produced from the Project
in any locations owned, leased or otherwise controlled by Operator or its
Affiliates, on or off the Project site, provided when such location
is not owned by Operator or its Affiliates, it has first secured from the
property owner where such stockpiling, storage or placement is to occur a
written agreement, in recordable form, that provides that Royal Gold’s rights to
the Royalty on such Subject Minerals shall be preserved.  Such
agreement shall provide that (i) Royal Gold’s rights pursuant to this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to such Subject Mineral;
(ii) Royal Gold’s rights in and to such Subject Minerals shall be the same as if
the Subject Minerals were situated on the Subject Properties; (iii) Royal Gold’s
rights to such Subject Minerals in the stockpiled material shall take precedence
over the rights of the property owner (and/or of such property owner’s
creditors) to the stockpiled material; and (iv) the stockpiling agreement shall
be irrevocable as long as the Subject Minerals from the Subject Properties, or
any part thereof, remain on the property not part of the Subject
Properties.

       

      (i)          Tailings and
Residues.  All tailings, residues, waste rock, spoiled leach
materials, and other waste materials (collectively “Materials”) resulting from
Operator’s operations and activities on the Subject Properties after the Closing
Date shall be the sole property of Operator, but shall remain subject to the
Royalty should the processing or reprocessing or use of Materials, as the case
may be, in the future result in the production of Subject
Minerals.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator shall have the
right to sell or otherwise dispose of Materials from the Subject Properties in
an arms’ length transaction with a third party, and to commingle the same with
Materials from other properties.  In the event Materials produced
after the Closing Date from the Subject Properties are processed, reprocessed or
used: (i) the amount of Materials on which the Royalty is payable shall be
determined using the best engineering and technical practices then available,
and (ii) if such Materials are sold or otherwise disposed of to a third party,
the Royalty shall only be payable to the extent that the proceeds or credit
received by Operator from the sale or other disposition of such Materials exceed
the direct costs of processing the Materials for sale or disposition and the
costs of transportation borne by Operator in connection with such sale or
disposition.

      ownership of and title to the Subject Properties and the Ancillary
      Property Rights, including, paying when due all patentes, annual fees,
      Taxes, Liens and assessments, and doing all other things and making all
      other payments necessary or appropriate to maintain the ownership, right,
      title and interest of Operator and Royal Gold, respectively, in the
      Subject Properties, the Ancillary Property Rights and under this

      Operator intends to abandon all or any portion of the Subject Properties
      (“Abandonment
      Property”), Operator shall give 60 days’ written notice of such
      intention in advance of the proposed date of abandonment to Royal Gold,
      and Royal Gold shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have
      Operator assign or transfer such Abandonment Property to Royal Gold, for a
      purchase price of $10.00 per Abandonment Property to be paid to
      Operator.  If Operator reacquires any interest in any portion of
      the mining concessions covered by the Abandonment Property at any time,
      the production of Subject Minerals from such ground shall be subject to
      the Royalty and this Agreement.

concessions described in paragraphs (A) and (B) of this Section 6(j)(iii),
Operator shall enter into, or cause the entering into of, the corresponding
public deeds for the constitution of mortgages and prohibitions within 90 days
from the date of such acquisition public deed or registration of the title and
the survey.  In the case of those exploitation mining concessions
described in paragraph (C) of this Section 6(j)(iii), Operator shall enter into,
or cause the entering into of, the corresponding public deeds for constitution
of mortgages and prohibitions no later than May 31, 2010.

      exploitation concessions or any other form of tenure or mineral or surface
      interest, and the Royalty and this Agreement shall remain in full force
      and effect with respect to each property or interest resulting from any
      such conversion.

      Sales Contract that contains, any provisions that would prejudice the
      economic interest of Royal Gold under this Agreement and not be typically
      contained in arms’ length contracts for smelting, refining or other

      Properties and (B) except pursuant Section 6(o)(ii), shall not assign any
      of its rights or interests under any such agreement without the prior
      written consent of Royal Gold, not to be unreasonably
      withheld.  Operator shall promptly notify Royal Gold of any

Changes. If Operator wishes to implement a Fundamental Process Change
that reasonably would be expected to result in an adverse impact on the economic
interest of Royal Gold under this Agreement in excess of $750,000 in any 12
month period, Operator and Royal Gold will negotiate in good faith an equitable
adjustment to the entitlement of Royal Gold hereunder, which adjustment shall
have effect from the date on which such Fundamental Process Change is
instituted.  If such equitable adjustment cannot be settled by
negotiation within 60 days of the institution of the Fundamental Process Change,
the appropriate adjustment shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to
Section 7(b).  The arbitration panel shall be instructed to adjust the
entitlement of Royal Gold hereunder such that the Royalty payable to Royal Gold
after the institution of the Fundamental Process Change will be equivalent to
the Royalty that it would have been entitled to had the Fundamental Process
Change not been instituted.

Properties, and any extralateral rights claimed by Operator pertaining to any

      Affiliate by providing 10 days’ prior written notice to Operator and (B)
      to any Person who is not an Affiliate by providing 60 days’ prior written
      notice to Operator. Before any direct or indirect Transfer by Royal Gold
      of all or any portion of the Royalty or its interest under this Agreement
      shall become effective or relieve Royal Gold of its obligations under this
      Agreement, Royal Gold shall first have delivered to Operator a written

      Properties or the Ancillary Property Rights to a Person that has or will
      have immediately following the Transfer the financial wherewithal and
      either has or will have immediately following the Transfer the technical
      wherewithal or has engaged a Person with the technical wherewithal, to
      assume all of Operator’s obligations under this
      Agreement.  Operator shall not, directly or indirectly, except
      with 60 days’ prior written notice to Royal Gold, Transfer, or enter into
      any agreement to Transfer, all or any portion of its interest in this
      Agreement, the Project, the Subject Properties or the Ancillary Property
      Rights.  No direct or indirect Transfer of all or any portion of
      Operator’s interest in this Agreement, the Project, the Subject Properties
      or the Ancillary Property Rights (including, but not limited to, any
      Transfer by merger, consolidation, amalgamation, liquidation, dissolution
      or otherwise by operation of law), shall become effective or relieve
      Operator of its obligations under this Agreement, including its liability
      for payment of the Royalty under this Agreement, unless Operator shall
      first have delivered to Royal Gold a written undertaking, executed by
      public deed in form and substance satisfactory to Royal Gold, acting
      reasonably, by the Person receiving the interest subject to the Transfer
      and enforceable by Royal Gold, that it will be bound by the terms and
      conditions of this Agreement and any amendments hereto with respect to the
      interest subject to the Transfer.

mortgage on the Mining Properties in favor of Royal Gold.  The Parties
state that the mortgage created is to warrant to Royal Gold the complete, full

                to
      Transfer, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of the Mining
      Properties, without the prior written consent of Royal Gold unless: (A)
      transferee has the financial wherewithal or will have the financial

      technical wherewithal or has engaged a Person with the technical
      wherewithal, to assume all of Operator’s obligations under this Agreement;

      Mr.
_________, on behalf of Royal Gold accepts herein the creation of the above
described prohibitions and hereby authorizes Operator to grant any Liens (other

the Subject Properties and Ancillary Property Rights if the same are reasonably
required by financiers of the Project in connection with bona fide financings in
order to provide new or additional funding for the exploration, development,
construction or operation of the Project, which Operator, acting reasonably,
considers necessary or desirable to that effect.  Royal Gold shall
execute all acts or contracts in form and substance agreed to by the Parties,
acting reasonably, required to execute and register, if applicable, such Liens
(other than Liens that constitute Avíos, which are addressed in Section
6(q)(i)).

Law.  This Agreement is to be governed by and construed under
the laws of Chile, without giving effect to those principles of conflicts of
laws that might otherwise require application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction.

                The
      Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any
      controversies, disputes or claims arising under this Agreement, including
      those arising out of a written objection made by Royal Gold to any Royalty
      Statement concerning any Royalty delivered to it pursuant to Section 4(b).
      If for any reason any Dispute arising out of this Agreement is not
      resolved by negotiation and agreement within 30 days after the delivery of
      a written notice of Dispute, the Dispute shall be determined by
      arbitration as provided in this Section

                (ii)

              	
                All
      Disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under
      the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). The number of
      arbitrators shall be three. The place of Arbitration shall be Santiago,
      Chile. The language of the Arbitration shall be Spanish. Judgment may be
      entered upon an award in any court of competent
    jurisdiction.

                The
      Party referring a Dispute to arbitration hereunder shall appoint an
      arbitrator in the arbitration petition and the respondent Party shall
      appoint an arbitrator in its response. If within 30 days after the date of
      the arbitration petition, the respondent has not appointed an arbitrator,
      such arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. Within 30 days of their
      appointment, the two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint a third
      arbitrator who shall preside over the arbitration panel. If the two
      arbitrators cannot agree on a third arbitrator within such 30 day period,
      the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the
  ICC.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (iv)

              	
                Notwithstanding
      the provisions of Section 7(b)(i), the arbitral tribunal shall have the
      power to grant interim measures of protection, but, without derogating
      from the commitment to arbitrate or the power of the arbitral tribunal to
      grant such measures, it shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement for
      a party to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an interim
      measure of protection pending the commencement or completion of
      arbitration.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                (v)

              	
                In
      any arbitration, or in any court proceeding authorized to be taken under
      this Agreement, the arbitral tribunal or the court, as the case may be,
      shall in addition to any other relief, be entitled to make an award or
      enter a judgment, as the case may be, for reasonable attorney’s fees and
      disbursements, including experts witness fees, and any other costs of the
      proceeding. The arbitration panel may only award damages as provided for
      under the terms of this Agreement and in no event may punitive,
      consequential or special damages be
awarded.

                If
      contemporaneous Disputes arise under this Agreement, a single arbitration
      may be commenced in respect of the
Disputes.

              

      

       

      (c)           Notices.  Unless

    SCHEDULE
A

     

    Metallurgical Recovery
Rate

     

    The
metallurgical gold recovery rate will be calculated as a percentage by dividing
the Gold In Concentrate by the Gold In Feed.  The terms and
methodology necessary for determining the metallurgical gold recovery rate are
described below:

    

    Concentrator Feed
Tonnage – The weight of ore fed to the concentrator will be measured by a
calibrated weighbridge “weightometer” on the conveyor feeding the primary
grinding mill.  The calibration of the weightometer will be checked
monthly.  This weightometer measures the wet weight of ore entering
the concentrator.  Daily samples of the mill feed will be taken from
the feed conveyor to determine the moisture content.  The dry feed
weight to the concentrator will be calculated from the measured wet weight
corrected for the measured moisture content.  Concentrator Feed
Tonnage for a particular time period will be the cumulative sum of the daily dry
feed weights for that period of time.

    

    Concentrate Tonnage –
The weight of concentrate will be based on weighing and sampling the concentrate
haulage trucks as they are dispatched from the mine. The wet concentrate weight
will be the difference between the tare weight of the truck before loading and
loaded weight. Each truck will be sampled by taking 9 probe samples distributed
over the top of the load.  The samples from each lot of approximately
10 trucks will be combined to form a lot. The sample will be blended,
sub-sampled and sent to the on-site assay laboratory for moisture and metals
analysis.  The dry concentrate weight will be calculated from the
measured wet weight corrected for the measured moisture
content.  Concentrate Tonnage for a particular time period will be the
cumulative sum of the daily dry concentrate weights for that period of
time.

    

    Tailings Tonnage –
The weight of tailings will be based on the daily metallurgical balance which
utilizes the Concentrator Feed Tonnage and the shift feed, concentrate and
tailings assays to calculate the concentrate and tailings
tonnages.  Tailings Tonnage for a particular time period will be the
cumulative sum of the daily dry tailings weights for that period of
time.

    

    Gold In Feed –
Regular and representative samples of the concentrator feed will be obtained
from the primary cyclone overflow (flotation feed) at timed intervals and the
samples will be composited as a 12 hour shift sample.  The feed sample
will be dried and assayed in the site assay lab.  The average daily
feed assays will be multiplied by the corresponding daily Concentrator Feed
Tonnage to arrive at daily Gold In Feed.  The Gold In Feed for a
particular time period will be the cumulative sum of the daily amounts of Gold
In Feed for that period of time.

    

    Gold in Tailings
–Regular and representative samples of the tailings will be obtained at timed
intervals and the various samples will be composited as a 12 hour shift
sample.  The tailings sample will be filtered and dried and assayed in
the site assay lab.  The average daily tailing assays will be
multiplied by the corresponding daily Tailings Tonnage to arrive at daily Gold
In Tailings.  The Gold In Tailings for a particular time period will
be the cumulative sum of the daily amounts of Gold In Tailings for that period
of time.

    
      
         

      

      
        A-1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Gold in Concentrate –
The gold content of the concentrate will be based on weighing and sampling the
concentrate haulage trucks as they are dispatched from the mine.  Each
truck will be sampled by taking 9 probe samples distributed over the top of the
load.  The samples from each lot of approximately 10 trucks will be
combined to form a lot.  The sample will be blended, sub-sampled,
dried and assayed for gold in the on-site assay laboratory.  The truck
lot concentrate assays will be multiplied by the corresponding dry Concentrate
Tonnage to arrive at the Gold In Concentrate for that lot.  The Gold
In Concentrate for a particular time period will be the cumulative sum of the
truck lots of Gold In Concentrate for that period of time.

    

    Metallurgical
reconciliations will be made to insure Gold In Feed equals the sum of Gold In
Concentrate plus Gold In Tails.  The cumulative daily metallurgical
balance will be reconciled back to the measured concentrate tonnage on a monthly
basis with appropriate adjustments for inventory.  On a reasonable
periodic basis, Gold In Concentrate and Concentrate Tonnage will be reconciled
to settled smelter receipts for such comparable period to ensure site
measurements are accurate and representative.

      Section 9(f)(i)(E) of the Amended and Restated Master Agreement by written
      notice to Operator.  For purposes of greater certainty, if Royal
      Gold has waived its right to indemnity pursuant to Section 9(f)(i)(E) of

              Adjustment
      Provisions.

            

    

     

    (a)           The
Share Portion shall be adjusted proportionately as necessary if, during the
period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Closing Date
(the “Intermediary
Period”), Royal Gold:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              fixes
      the record date for the issue, or issues to, all or substantially all of
      the holders of Royal Gold Common Stock by way of a stock dividend or
      otherwise shares of Royal Gold Common Stock or other securities of Royal
      Gold or any other issuer convertible into or exchangeable for or otherwise
      carrying the right to acquire Royal Gold Common Stock (the “Convertible
      Securities”), other than (A) the issue from time to time of Royal
      Gold Common Stock or Convertible Securities by way of stock dividend to
      holders who elect to receive Royal Gold Common Stock or Convertible
      Securities in lieu of cash dividends in the ordinary course or pursuant to
      a dividend reinvestment plan or (B) as dividends paid in the ordinary
      course; or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              subdivides
      or redivides the issued and outstanding shares of Royal Gold Common Stock
      into a greater number of shares of Royal Gold Common Stock;
    or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              combines,
      consolidates or reduces the issued and outstanding shares of Royal Gold
      Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Royal Gold Common
      Stock

            

    

     

    (any of
those events being herein called a “Share
Reorganization”),

     

    effective
immediately after the record date at which the holders of Royal Gold Common
Stock are determined for the purposes of the Share Reorganization or the
effective date of the Share Reorganization if no record date is fixed, to a
number that is the product of (1) the Share Portion in effect on the record
date, or the effective date if no record date is fixed, and (2) a
fraction:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              the
      numerator of which shall be the number of Royal Gold Common Stock
      outstanding after giving effect to the Share Reorganization;
      and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              the
      denominator of which shall be the number of Royal Gold Common Stock
      outstanding on the record date, or effective date if no record date is
      fixed, before giving effect to the Share
  Reorganization.

            

    

     

    For the
purposes of determining the number of Royal Gold Common Stock outstanding at any
particular time for the purpose of this Schedule D, there
shall be included that number of Royal Gold Common Stock which would have
resulted from the conversion at that time of all outstanding Convertible
Securities. 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        D-2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)          If
during the Intermediary Period, Royal Gold fixes a record date for the issuance
of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Royal
Gold Common Stock pursuant to which those holders are entitled to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire Royal Gold Common Stock or Convertible Securities
within a period of not more than 45 days from such record date at a price per
share, or at a conversion price per share, of less than 95% of the Current
Market Price on such record date (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering” and Royal
Gold Common Stock that may be acquired on exercise of the Rights Offering, or
upon conversion of the Convertible Securities offered by the Rights Offering,
being herein called the “Offered Royal Gold Common
Stock”), the Share Portion shall be adjusted effective immediately after
the applicable record date to a Share Portion that is the product of (1) the
Share Portion in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              the
      numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Royal Gold Common
      Stock outstanding on the record date plus (B) the number of Offered Royal
      Gold Common Stock offered pursuant to the Rights Offering or the maximum
      number of Offered Royal Gold Common Stock into which the Convertible
      Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as
      the case may be; and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              the
      denominator of which shall be the sum
of:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              the
      number of Royal Gold Common Stock outstanding on the record date;
      and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (B)

            	
              the
      number arrived at when (I) either the product of (a) the number of Offered
      Royal Gold Common Stock so offered and (b) the price at which such Offered
      Royal Gold Common Stock are offered, or the product of (c) the conversion
      price of the Offered Royal Gold Common Stock so offered and (d) the
      maximum number of Offered Royal Gold Common Stock for or into which the
      Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be
      converted, as the case may be, is divided by (II) the Current Market Price
      of Royal Gold Common Stock on the record date for the Rights
      Offering.

            

    

     

    If by the
terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this paragraph 2(b) of
this Schedule
D, there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per
Offered Royal Gold Common Stock, the aggregate price of the total number of
additional Offered Royal Gold Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase,
or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the Convertible Securities so
offered, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the
lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Offered Royal Gold Common
Stock, as the case may be.  Any Offered Royal Gold Common Stock owned
by or held for the account of Royal Gold or a Subsidiary of Royal Gold shall be
deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; if all the
rights, options or warrants are not so issued or if all rights, options or
warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Share Portion
shall be readjusted to the Share Portion in effect immediately prior to the
record date, and the Share Portion shall be further adjusted based upon the
number of Offered Royal Gold Common Stock (or Convertible Securities that are
convertible into Offered Royal Gold Common Stock) actually delivered upon the
exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to
any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after
that record date.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        D-3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c)           If
during the Intermediary Period there is a reorganization of Royal Gold not
otherwise provided for in paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) in this Schedule D or a
consolidation, merger, arrangement, amalgamation or acquisition of Royal Gold
by, with or into another body corporate including a transaction whereby all or
substantially all of Royal Gold’s assets become the property of any other Person
through sale, lease, exchange or otherwise (any such event being herein called a
“Capital
Reorganization”), Operator, shall be entitled to receive and shall
accept, in lieu of the Share Portion to which it was theretofore entitled upon
Closing, the aggregate amount of cash and/or the aggregate number of Royal Gold
Common Stock or other securities or property of Royal Gold, or the continuing,
successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, under the Capital
Reorganization that Operator would have been entitled to receive as a result of
the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, Operator had been
the holder of the number of Royal Gold Common Stock to which immediately before
the transaction it was entitled.  No Capital Reorganization shall be
carried into effect unless all necessary steps have been taken so that Operator
shall thereafter be entitled to receive the requisite amount of cash and/or the
number of Royal Gold Common Stock or other securities or property of Royal Gold
or of the continuing, successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, under
the Capital Reorganization, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with
provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this
Schedule
D.

     

    (d)           If
during the Intermediary Period Royal Gold reclassifies or otherwise changes the
issued and outstanding shares of Royal Gold Common Stock, the Share Portion
shall be adjusted effective immediately upon the reclassification becoming
effective so that if Operator thereafter shall be entitled to receive such Share
Portion as it would have received had the Share Portion been issued immediately
prior to the effective date, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with
provisions the same, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, as those contained
in paragraphs 2(a) through 2(c) of this Schedule
D.

     

    (e)           The
adjustments and readjustments provided for in paragraphs 2(b) through 2(d) of
this Schedule D
are cumulative and, apply (without duplication) to successive issues,
subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, distributions and any other events
that require adjustment of the Share Portion.

    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

    

    We have
acted as special Chilean counsel to Compañía Minera Teck Carmen de Andacollo
(before Compañía Minera Carmen de Andacollo), a contractual mining company
organized under the laws of Chile (“Operator”), in
connection with:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              the
      execution and delivery of an Amended and Restated Master Agreement,
      dated [●], 2010 (the “Master
      Agreement”), between Royal Gold, Inc., a corporation organized
      under the laws of the State of Delaware, Unites States of America (“Royal Gold”)
      and the Operator; and

            

    

     

    
      	
            	
              (ii)

            	
              the
      execution and delivery of the other Transaction Documents (as defined
      herein).

            

    

     

    This
opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(v) of the Master Agreement.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Master Agreement.

     

    In
arriving at the opinions expressed herein, we have examined copies of the

              (3)

      Royalty Agreement (together with the Master Agreement, the Stockholder
      Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement, the “Transaction
      Documents”);

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

      of Mrs. María Gloria Acharán

      Santiago of Mrs. María Gloria Acharán Toledo, corresponding to the special

      copy of Operator’s original by-laws (estatutos sociales) and
      of all amendments thereto, including the registrations required by Chilean
      Law (the “By-Laws”);

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (9)

            	
              a
      certificate issued by the Mining Registrar of Andacollo on [●], 2010
      stating that there is no evidence that Operator has been dissolved;
      and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (10)

            	
              copies
      of the documents listed in Schedule A herein (the “Disclosure
      Documents”).

            

    

     

    The
opinions expressed herein are subject to the following
qualifications:

     

    First, we
are attorneys admitted to practice in Chile and we express no opinion as to any
laws other than Chilean law. In particular, we have made no independent
investigation of the laws of the United States of America or any other state as
a basis for our opinion, and have assumed that there is nothing in any such laws
that affect our opinion.

     

    Second,
in considering the Transaction Documents, we have assumed, without any
independent investigation or verification of any kind:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              the
      genuineness of all signatures
thereon;

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              the
      legal capacity of all individuals;

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              the
      authenticity of all documents and records presented as originals, and the
      conformity with the originals of all documents and records presented as
      copies;

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iv)

            	
              the
      due authorization, execution and delivery of all Transaction Documents by
      the parties thereto other than Operator (with respect to whom we make no
      such assumption) and that each such party (other than the Operator) has
      adequate power, authority and legal right to enter into each document to
      which it is a party; and

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (v)

            	
              that
      the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and
      the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will
      not contravene or breach, or result in a default under, or require any
      consent of any person under any agreement or other document or instrument
      to which any of the parties to any thereof (other than Operator in respect
      of which we make no such assumption but solely with regard to provisions
      of Chilean law, the By-Laws and the Disclosure Documents) is a party or by
      which it is bound.

            

    

     

    Based
upon the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications expressed below,
we are of the opinion that:

     

    1.           Operator

    Re: Overlapping Dayton
Concessions

     

    Dear
Sirs:

     

    Reference
is made to (i) the Royalty Agreement by and between Royal Gold, Inc. and
Compañía Minera Teck Carmen de Andacollo, executed by public deed granted before
the Notary Public of Santiago Mr. Andrés Rubio Flores on January [·], 2010 (the “Royalty Agreement”)
and (ii) the Amended and Restated Master Agreement by and between the same
parties mentioned above, executed by means of a private instrument dated January
12, 2010 (the “Master
Agreement”).

     

    Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”)
have the meanings assigned to them in the Master Agreement.

     

    This
Letter Agreement will serve to confirm the agreement of the parties hereto as
follows:

     

    
      
        	
                1.

              	
                Operator
      undertakes to constitute or cause the constitution of a first degree
      mortgage and prohibitions, in the terms set forth in Clauses Sixth (p) and
      Sixth (q) of the Royalty Agreement, respectively, on any Overlapping
      Dayton Concession wholly or partially within the Shaded Area, which has
      been transferred to Dayton, but then in the future, is reacquired by Operator or any
      Affiliate of Operator.

              

      

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
        H-1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Operator
shall notify Royal Gold (or its authorized successor under the Royalty
Agreement) in writing of the reacquisition of any Overlapping Dayton Concession
referred to above, when applicable, within 60 days from the respective date of
the acquisition public deed and Operator shall enter into, or cause the entering
into of, the corresponding public deeds for the constitution of mortgages and
prohibitions within 90 days from the date of such acquisition public
deed.

     

    
      
        	
                2.

              	
                From
      the date hereof, all the provisions contained in the Master Agreement
      regarding Overlapping Dayton Concessions, in particular but not limited to
      those contained in Sections 5(c)(ix), 5(c)(x), 5(c)(xi), 5(c)(xii),
      5(c)(xiii) and 5(c)(xv), together with the covenants set forth in Section
      1. of this Letter Agreement, shall be governed by and construed under the
      laws of Chile, without giving effect to those principles of conflicts of
      laws that might otherwise require application of the laws of any other
      jurisdiction, and any dispute with respect to such matters shall be
      governed by the provisions of Clause Seventh (b) (Dispute Resolution –
      Solución de
      Controversias–) of the Royalty Agreement and not the dispute
      resolution provisions of the Master
Agreement.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	
                3.

              	
                Section
      9(d) of the Master Agreement (Assignment) is made applicable to this
      Letter Agreement and is deemed to be reproduced herein in its entirety,
      and any reference therein to the Agreement, shall be understood as a
      reference to this Letter
Agreement.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	
                4.

              	
                The
      parties hereto agree that from the date Royal Gold Chile Limitada (“RG Chile”)
      becomes the successor of Royal Gold under the Royalty Agreement (the
      “Assignment
      Date”), RG Chile will assume, from such date on, the contractual
      position that until the Assignment Date corresponded to Royal Gold under
      this Letter Agreement, such that each time that in this instrument a
      reference is made to “Royal Gold, Inc.” or “Royal Gold”, as of the
      Assignment Date said reference shall be understood to be made for all
      legal purposes to Royal Gold Chile
Limitada.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	
                5.

              	
                The
      parties hereto also agree that no assignment of the Royalty Agreement from
      RG Chile to a third party, and no subsequent assignment of the Royalty
      Agreement thereafter, may take place until the corresponding assignee has
      assumed the contractual position of the assignor under this Letter
      Agreement and becomes bound by the
same.

                6.

              	
                This
      Letter Agreement may not be amended or any provision hereof waived or
      modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties
      hereto.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Letter
      Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission shall
      be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Letter
      Agreement. This Letter Agreement is intended to be solely for the benefit
      of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or
      create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties
      hereto.

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	
                7.

              	
                This
      Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
      the laws of Chile, without giving effect to those principles of conflicts
      of laws that might otherwise require application of the laws of any other
      jurisdiction, and any dispute with respect to this Letter Agreement shall
      be governed by the provisions of Clause Seventh (b) (Dispute Resolution –
      Solución de
      Controversias –) of the Royalty Agreement (and any reference
      therein to the Agreement – Contrato –, shall be
