  in the Property free and clear of all charges and encumbrances by paying to
  the Optionor $125,000 and issuing 350,000 common shares in its capital and by

The Optionee may earn an additional 15% working interest in the Property to
aggregate a total of 75% interest by completing a study of the feasibility of
placing the Property into production (hereinafter “the Feasibility Study”)
within 5 years of the Effective Date. The Feasibility Study need not recommend
that the Property be placed into commercial production nor recommend any minimum
production level in order for this requirement to be met. The Optionee will give
90 days’ notice of its intention to prepare a Feasibility Study prior to the
date it earns its 60% interest, failing which the Joint Venture Agreement will

resales of any shares of the Optionee issued to the Optionor pursuant to §4.1.
To “manage” means to have the right to seek a buyer for the shares and to direct
the resale of shares within a 30 day period of being notified that the Optionor
desires to sell shares in order to assist the Optionor in finding a buyer for
shares so that such resales will not unduly disturb the prevailing market for
the Optionee’s shares. The Optionor shall not resell the shares until it has
provided a notice of intention to sell and allowed the Optionee 30 days to
either waive its right or seek to find a buyer for the shares at the prevailing
market, failing which the Optionor shall be free to resell the shares in its
discretion. The right to manage re-sales of each tranche of shares expires 12
months after the issuance of that tranche of shares to the Optionor.

hereof, then either party may terminate this Option Agreement without liability,

  provisions:

  the initial participating or working interests of the parties in the Joint Venture
  will be 60% (or 75%) as to the Optionee and 40% (or 25%) as to the Optionor;

(b)        
  the Optionee shall be the initial operator of the Joint Venture and the Optionee
  shall remain the operator as long as the Optionee has not less than a 50% participating
  interest. The Property claims shall be registered in the name of the operator
  for the Joint Venture;

(c)        
  the operations of the Joint Venture will be overseen by a management committee,
  with each party to have voting rights on such committee equal to their participating
  interest in the Joint Venture;

(d)        
  the participating interests of the parties in the Joint Venture will be subject
  to dilution for non-contribution on a straight line basis providing that if
  any party’s participating interest falls below 10%, it shall be deemed
  to be converted into a 5% after payback net profits interest and, for the purpose
  of calculating such dilution on formation of the Joint Venture, prior expenditures
  incurred by the parties shall be deemed to be the following amounts

(i)        
  in the event of a 60%:40% initial joint venture (pursuant to §4.1), $2,500,000
  in respect of the Optionee and $1,666,667 in respect of the Optionor, and

(ii)

  plus the cost of the Feasibility Study in respect of the Optionee and $833,333
  plus one third of the cost of the Feasibility Study in respect of the Optionor;

-7-

(e)        
  each party will have 15 days following adoption of a work program to elect to
  participate therein and invoices rendered to participating parties in respect
  of any work program shall be payable within 30 days. For production programs
  the election periods will be increased by 60 days and the time to contribute
  funds shall be accelerated so that they are due reasonably in advance of the
  Operator actually expending them;

(f)        
  each party will grant to the other a 21 day right of first refusal with respect
  to any proposed sale of such party’s interest in the Joint Venture to a
  third party. If a sale is completed the third party must agree to be bound to
  the terms of the joint venture agreement; and

(g)        
  disputes in either reaching a binding joint venture agreement and in regards
  to its interpretation or in the event of deadlock on the management committee,
  shall be resolved, insofar as lawfully possible, by binding arbitration.

PART 5

ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION

5.1                
Subject to Part 11, the Optionee may assign all or part of its obligations under

providing also that the Assignee agrees to execute an acknowledgement to be
bound by the terms hereof insofar as the Optionor’s rights hereunder are
concerned. Such Assignee shall issue shares in its capital to fulfill the share
obligations in §4.1 based on issuing the equivalent value of its shares using a
deemed value of the Optionee’s shares equal to their traded value at the time of
assignment by the Optionee. For example if the Optionee’s shares are trading at

Date, then the assignee must issue shares having a value of $100,000 by the
third anniversary.

If and when the Option has been exercised, a 60% (or 75%) undivided right, title

  The Optionee may at any time (and from time to time) either during the Option
  Period or thereafter, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion
  of its interest in and to the Property and this Agreement provided that any
  purchaser, grantee or transferee of any such interest will have first delivered
  to the Optionor its agreement related to this Agreement and to the Property,
  containing

(a)        
  a covenant by such transferee to perform all the obligations of the Optionee
  to be performed under this Agreement in respect of the interest to be acquired
  by it from the Optionee to the same extent as if this Agreement had been originally

Optionor, discharge it from any of its obligations hereunder, but upon the
transfer by the Optionee of the entire interest at the time held by it in this

of successive transfers), the Optionee will be deemed to be discharged from all
obligations hereunder save and except for the fulfilment of contractual
commitments accrued due before the date on which the Optionee will have no
further interest in this Agreement.

11.3                
  If the Optionor

(a)        
  receives a bona fide offer from an independent third party (“Proposed Purchaser”)
  dealing at arm’s length with the Optionor to purchase all or substantially
  all of its interest in the Property, which offer the Optionor desires to accept,
  or

(b)        
  in the event that the Optionor intends to sell all or substantially all of its
  interest in the Option or the Property,

-11-

the Optionor will first offer (the “Offer”) such interest in
writing to the Optionee upon terms no less favourable than those offered by the
Proposed Purchaser or intended to be offered by the Optionor, as the case may
be.

11.4                
The Offer will specify the price and terms and conditions of such sale, the name
of the Proposed Purchaser (which term will, in the case of an intended offer by
the Optionor, mean the person or persons to whom the Optionor intends to offer
its interest or is likely to so offer it) and, if the offer received by the
Optionor from the Proposed Purchaser provides for any consideration payable to
the Optionor otherwise than in cash, the Offer will include the Optionor good
faith estimate of the cash equivalent of the non-cash consideration.

11.5                
If within a period of 30 days of the receipt of the Offer the Optionee notifies
the Optionor in writing that it will accept the same, the Optionor will be bound
to sell such interest to the Optionee (subject as hereinafter provided with
respect to price) on the terms and conditions of the Offer.

11.6                
If the Offer so accepted by the Optionee contains the Optionor’s good faith
estimate of the cash equivalent consideration as aforesaid, and if the Optionee
disagrees with the Optionor’s best estimate, the Optionee will so notify the
Optionor at the time of acceptance and the Optionee will, in such notice,
specify what it considers, in good faith, the fair cash equivalent to be and the
resulting total purchase price.

11.7                
If the Optionee so notifies the Optionor, the acceptance by the Optionee will be
effective and binding upon the Optionee and the Optionor and the cash equivalent
of any such non-cash consideration will be determined by binding arbitration
under the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia) and will be payable by
the Optionee, subject to prepayment as hereinafter provided, within 10 days
following its determination by arbitration.

11.8                
The Optionee will in such case pay to the Optionor, against receipt of an
absolute transfer of clear and unencumbered title to the interest of the
Optionor being sold, the total purchase price which is specified in its notice
to the Optionor and such amount will be credited to the amount determined
following arbitration of the cash equivalent of any non-cash consideration.

11.9                
If the Optionee fails to notify the Optionor before the expiration of the time
limited therefor that it will purchase the interest offered, the Optionor may

11.10

-12-

PART 12

SURRENDER AND ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS BEFORE

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

12.1                
The Optionee may during the Option Period, elect to abandon any one or more of
the mineral claims comprised in the Property by giving notice to the Optionor of
such intention.

12.2                
For a period of 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice the Optionor
may elect to have any or all of the mineral claims in respect of which such
notice has been given transferred to it by delivery of a request therefor to the
Optionee, whereupon the Optionee will deliver to the Optionor a quit claim or
release from escrow a Bill of Sale or provide such other appropriate Deed or
assurance in registrable form transferring such mineral claims to the Optionor
if the Optionor is not then already the registered owner of such mineral
claims.

12.3                
Any claims so transferred, if in good standing at the date hereof or if the
Optionee causes the same to be placed in good standing after the date hereof,
will be in good standing under the Mineral Tenure Act for at least six
months from the date of transfer. If the Optionor fails to make request for the
transfer of any mineral claims as aforesaid within such 30-day period, the
Optionee may then abandon such mineral claim without further notice to the
Optionor. Upon any such transfer or abandonment the mineral claims so
transferred or abandoned will for all purposes of this Agreement cease to form
part of the Property.

PART 13

FORCE MAJEURE

13.1                
If the Optionee is at any time either during the Option Period prevented or
delayed in complying with the work Expenditure requirement provisions of this
Agreement in Part 4 by reason of strikes, walk-outs, labour shortages, power
shortages, fuel shortages, fires, wars, acts of God, governmental regulations
restricting normal operations, shipping delays or any other reason or reasons
beyond the control of the Optionee (and for greater certainty excluding factors
related to a lack of funding), the time limited for the performance by the
Optionee of its obligations hereunder will be extended by a period of time equal
in length to the period of each such prevention or delay, provided however that
nothing herein will discharge the Optionee from its obligation to timely pay the
cash and share consideration under §4.1.

13.2                
The Optionee will within seven days give notice to the Optionor of each event of
force majeure under §13.1 and upon cessation of such event will furnish the
Optionor with notice to that effect together with particulars of the number of
days by which the obligations of the Optionee hereunder have been extended by
virtue of such event of force majeure and all preceding events of force
majeure.

-13-

PART 14

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

14.1                
No information furnished by the Optionee to the Optionor hereunder in respect of
the activities carried out on the Property by the Optionee, will be published by
the Optionor without the written consent of the Optionee, but such consent in
respect of the reporting of factual data will not be unreasonably withheld, and
will not be withheld in respect of information required to be publicly disclosed
pursuant to applicable securities or corporation laws. This provision shall
terminate three years after the later of the termination of this Option and the
termination of the Joint Venture Agreement.

PART 15

ARBITRATION

15.1                
All questions or matters in dispute with respect to the interpretation of this
agreement or the Joint Venture Agreement will, insofar as lawfully possible, be
submitted to arbitration pursuant to the terms hereof using “final offer”
arbitration procedures.

15.2                
It will be a condition precedent to the right of any party to submit any matter
to arbitration pursuant to the provisions hereof, that any party intending to
refer any matter to arbitration will have given not less than 10 days’ prior
written notice of its intention so to do to the other party together with
particulars of the matter in dispute.

15.3                
On the expiration of such 10 days, the party who gave such notice may proceed to
commence procedure in furtherance of arbitration as provided in this Part
15.

15.4                
The party desiring arbitration (“First Party”) will nominate in writing three
proposed arbitrators, and will notify the other party (“Second Party”) of such
nominees, and the other party will, within 10 days after receiving such notice,
either choose one of the three or recommend three nominees of its own. All
nominees of either party must hold accreditation as either a lawyer, accountant
or mining engineer. If the First Party fails to choose one of the Second Party’s
nominees then all six names shall be placed into a hat and one name shall be
randomly chosen by the president of the First Party and that person if he/she is
prepared to act shall be the nominee. Except as specifically otherwise provided
in this Part 15 the arbitration herein provided for will be conducted in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia). The parties
shall thereupon each be obligated to proffer to the Arbitrator within 21 days of
his/her appointment a proposed written solution to the dispute and the
arbitrator shall within 10 days of receiving such proposals choose one of them
without altering it except with the consent of both parties.

15.5                
The expense of the arbitration will be paid as specified in the award.

15.6

PART 16

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

16.1                
  If at any time during the Option Period either party fails to perform any obligation
  hereunder or any representation or warranty given by it proves to be untrue,
  then the other party may terminate this Agreement (without prejudice to any
  other rights it may have) providing

(a)        
  it first gives to the party allegedly in default a notice of default containing
  particulars of the obligation which such has not performed, or the warranty
  breached,

(b)        
  the other party does not dispute the default, then if it is reasonably possible
  to cure the default without irreparable harm to the non-defaulting party, the
  defaulting party does not, within 30 days after delivery of such notice of default,
  cure such default by appropriate payment or commence to correct such default
  and diligently prosecute the matter until it is corrected, and

(c)        
  if the defaulting party fails to comply with the provisions of this §16.1
  the other party may thereafter terminate this Agreement, and the provisions
  of Part 10 will then be applicable.

16.2                
The Optionee may at any time terminate this Option by giving notice of
termination to the Optionor and shall thereupon be relieved of any further
obligations in connection herewith but shall remain liable for obligations which
have accrued to the date of notice.

PART 17

AREA OF COMMON INTEREST

17.1                
There shall exist an area of common interest within the area included within
three (3) kilometres of the boundaries of the Property (as detailed in the
specific description of the mineral claims attached hereto as Schedule “A”), but
excluding any third party mineral claims existing as of December 17, 2004. If
either Party (or permitted assignee hereof) beneficially acquires any interest
in mineral claims within such area they shall, at the election of the other
party (made by it within 20 days of written notice), be made part of the
Property for all purposes and may be referred to as Additional Property. That
is, if acquired by the Optionee, such additional claims shall be transferred to
the Optionor on termination hereof without additional cost and if acquired by
the Optionor shall be optioned to the Optionee as if part of the Property (and
without additional consideration being demanded from the Optionee).

of receipt will be the date on which the notice, demand or other communication
is actually received by the addressee.

18.3

PARTICIPATING INTERESTS

Participating Interests

6.1 

(a)        
  Initial Participating Interest. Subject to §(b) below, the Participants
  shall have the following initial Participating Interests in the Venture:

	Eagle Plains 	u % 
	Amarc 	u % 

(b)        
  Changes in Participating Interests. A Participant’s Participating
  Interest shall only be changed as follows:

(i)        
  upon an election or deemed election by a Participant pursuant to §9.4,
  not to contribute or to contribute less to an adopted Program and Budget than
  the percentage reflected by its Participating Interest;

(ii)       
  as provided in §6.4;

- 10 -

(iii)      
  in the event of default by a Participant in making its agreed upon contribution
  to an adopted Program and Budget, followed by an election by the other Participant
  to invoke §6.3(b);

(iv)       
  pursuant to a transfer by a Participant of all or a portion of its Participating
  Interest in accordance with 13; or

(v)        
  upon acquisition by either Participant of part or all of the Participating Interest
  of the other Participant, however arising.

Voluntary Reduction in Participation - Dilution

6.2                
  A Participant may elect, as provided in §9.4, to limit its contributions
  to an adopted Program and Budget (without regard to its vote on adoption of
  the Program and Budget) as follows:

(a)        
  to some lesser amount than its respective Participating Interest; or

(b)        
  to not contribute at all.

In such event, the non-diluting Participant shall then have the
option to either fully fund the remaining portion of the adopted Program and
Budget; or, within fifteen (15) days following the election of the diluting
Participant under §9.4(b), to propose a reduced alternative Program and Budget
to which the Participants shall, within seven (7) days, make a re-election under
§9.4(a) or §9.4(b) . If the non-diluting Participant elects to continue with the
initially adopted Program and Budget, the Participating Interest of the
Participant electing either §(a) or §(b) above shall be recalculated at the time
of election by dividing: (i) the sum of (a) the value of that Participant’s
Initial Contribution as defined in §5.2, (b) the total of all that Participant’s
contributions to previous Programs and Budgets, and (c) the amount the
Participant elects to contribute to the approved Program and Budget, by (ii) the
sum of (a), (b) and (c) above for all Participants; and multiplying the result
by 100. That is:

	(a)+(b)+(c) diluting Participant 	   x 100 = Recalculated Participating
      Interest 
	(a)+(b)+(c) all Participants 	  

The Participating Interest of the other Participant shall
thereupon become the difference between 100% and the recalculated Participating
Interest.

As soon as practicable after the necessary information is
available at the end of each period covered by an adopted Program and Budget, a
recalculation of each Participant’s Participating Interest shall be made in
accordance with the preceding formula to adjust, as necessary, the
recalculations made at the beginning of such period to reflect actual
contributions made by the Participants during the period. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, a diluting Participant shall retain all of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement, including the right to participate
in future Programs and Budgets at its Recalculated Participating Interest.

Default in Making Contributions

6.3 

(a)        
  If a Participant elects to contribute to an approved Program and Budget and
  then defaults in making a contribution or cash call under an approved Program
  and Budget, the non-defaulting Participant may, but is not obligated to, advance
  the defaulted contribution on behalf of the defaulting Participant and treat
  the same, together with any accrued interest, as a demand loan bearing interest
  from the date of the advance at the rate provided in §9.9. The failure
  to repay said loan upon demand shall be a default.

(b)        
  The Participants acknowledge that if a Participant defaults in making a contribution
  to an approved Program and Budget or a cash call under §9.8, or in repaying
  a loan under §(a), as required hereunder, it will be difficult to measure
  the damages resulting from such default. The Participants acknowledge that the
  damage to the non-defaulting Participant could be significant. In the event
  of such default, as reasonable liquidated damages, the non-defaulting Participant
  may, with respect to any such default not cured within thirty (30) days after
  notice to the defaulting Participant of such default, declare that the respective
  Participating Interests of the Participants will be adjusted, in which event
  the Participating Interest of the defaulting Participant will be recalculated
  first by reducing it by the amount that it would have been reduced pursuant
  to §6.2 if such Participant had elected not to contribute the amount by
  which it is in default and second by reducing such Participating Interest by
  the same amount again. The Participating Interest of the non-defaulting Participant
  shall thereupon become the difference between 100% and the recalculated Participating
  Interest of the defaulting Participant.

(c)        
  If a Participant elects to contribute to an approved Program and Budget and
  then defaults in making a contribution or cash call under an approved Program
  and Budget three times prior to completion of a Feasibility Report, its Participating
  Interest shall be forfeited to the non-defaulting Participant and the defaulting
  Participant’s Participating Interest shall be automatically converted to
  a five percent (5%) Net Returns Royalty and the defaulting Participant shall
  have no further rights to participate in subsequent Programs.

(d)        
  If a Participant elects to an approved Program and Budget based on a Feasibility
  Report which recommends commercial production and then defaults in making a
  contribution or cash call under an approved Program and Budget, its Participating
  Interest shall be forfeited to the non-defaulting Participant and the defaulting
  Participant’s Participating Interest shall be automatically reverted to
  a five percent (5%) Net Returns Royalty and the defaulting Participant shall
  have no further rights to participate in a subsequent Program.

Elimination of Minority Interest

6.4                
Upon the reduction of its Participating Interest to ten percent (10%) or less, a
Participant shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Venture and shall
relinquish its entire Participating Interest, free and clear of any Encumbrances
arising by, through or under that Participant. Such relinquished Participating
Interest shall be deemed to have accrued 

- 12 -

automatically to the other Participant, and the interest of the
Participant whose Participating Interest dilutes to ten percent (10%) or below
shall be converted to a percent ( %) Net Returns royalty, as defined in Exhibit
D to this Agreement. If a Participant forfeits its Participating Interest any
decision to place the Property into production shall be at the sole discretion
of the other and if the Property is in or is placed into production, such other
party shall have the unfettered right to suspend, curtail or terminate any such
Operation as it in its sole discretion may determine. Except for or as provided
in this §6.4 and §11.7, 13 and §15.6, this Agreement shall thereupon
terminate.

Documentation of Adjustments to Participating
Interests

6.5                
An adjustment to a Participating Interest need not be evidenced during the term
of this Agreement by the execution and recording of appropriate instruments, but
each Participant’s Participating Interest shall be shown in the books of the
Manager. However, either Participant, at any time upon the request of the other
Participant, shall execute and acknowledge instruments necessary to evidence or
effectuate such adjustment in a form sufficient for recording in the
jurisdiction where the Property are located.

Grant of Lien or Security Interest

6.6

(a)        
  Subject to §6.7, each Participant grants to the other Participant a lien
  upon and a security interest in its Participating Interest, including all of
  its right, title and interest in the Assets and the Participant’s share
  of Products, whenever acquired or arising, and the proceeds from and accessions
  to the foregoing.

(b)        
  The liens and security interests granted by §(a) shall secure every obligation
  or liability of the Participant granting such lien or security interest created
  under this Agreement, including the obligation to repay a loan granted under
  §6.3(a) . Each Participant hereby agrees to take all action necessary to
  perfect such lien and security interests and hereby appoints the other Participant,
  its attorney in-fact, to execute, file and record all financing statements and
  other documents necessary to perfect or maintain such lien and security interests.

Subordination of Interests

6.7                
Each Participant shall, from time to time, take all necessary actions, including
execution of appropriate agreements, to pledge and subordinate its Participating
Interests, any liens it may hold which are created under this Agreement, other
than those created pursuant to §6.6 hereof, and any other right or interest it
holds with respect to the Assets (other than any statutory lien of the Manager)
to any secured borrowings for Operations approved by the Management
Committee.

may appoint an alternate to act in the absence of a regular member. Any
alternate so acting shall be deemed a member. Appointments shall be made or
changed by prior written notice to the other Participant.

Decisions

7.2                
Each Participant, acting through its appointed member, shall have votes on the
Management Committee, in proportion to its Participating Interest. Unless

Participating Interest greater than fifty percent (50%) shall determine the
decisions of the Management Committee. In the event of a tie vote, the
Participant designated as Manager shall have the deciding vote of the Management
Committee.

Meetings

7.3                
The Management Committee shall hold regular meetings at least annually in
Vancouver or at other mutually agreed places. The Manager shall give thirty (30)
days notice to the Participants of such regular meetings (unless such notice is
waived by the Participants). Additionally, any Participant may call a special
meeting upon 7 days notice to the other Participant (unless such notice is
waived by the Participants). In case of emergency, reasonable notice of a
special meeting shall suffice. With respect to a regular or special meeting of
the Management Committee, there shall be a quorum if at least one member
representing each Participant is present; provided, however, that in the event
that a quorum does not exist at any such meeting, any Participant may reschedule
the meeting, at a time at least two (2) days following the originally scheduled
meeting but no later than seven (7) days following the originally scheduled
meeting, and, at such rescheduled meeting, there shall be a quorum if at least
one member representing any Participant having greater than a twenty percent
(20%) Participating Interest is present. Each notice of a meeting shall include
an itemized agenda prepared by the Manager in the case of a regular meeting, or
by the Participant calling the meeting in the case of a special meeting, but any
matter may be considered with the consent of all Participants. The Manager shall
prepare minutes of all meetings and shall distribute copies of such minutes to
the Participants within thirty (30) days after the meeting. The Participants
shall have thirty (30) days after receipt to sign and return such copies or to
provide any written comments on such minutes to the Manager. If a Participant
timely submits written comments on such minutes, the Management Committee shall
seek, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, to agree upon minutes of such
meeting acceptable to the Participants. At the end of such period, failing
agreement by the Participants on revised minutes, the minutes of the meeting
shall be the original minutes as prepared by the Manager, together with the
comments on the minutes made by the other Participant. These documents shall be
placed in the minutes book maintained by the Manager. If personnel employed in
Operations are required to attend a Management Committee meeting, reasonable
costs incurred in connection with such attendance shall be a Venture cost. All
other costs associated with Management Committee meetings shall be paid for by
the Participants individually.

with the terms and provisions of concessions, leases, licenses, permits,
contracts and other agreements pertaining to Assets. The Manager shall not be
liable to the non-managing Participant for any act or omission resulting in
damage, loss cost, penalty or fine to the Venture except to the extent caused by
or attributable to the Manager’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The
Manager shall not be in default of its duties under this Agreement, if its
inability to perform results from the failure of the non-managing Participant to
perform acts or to contribute amounts required of it by this Agreement.

  its Participating Interest to an Affiliate, such Affiliate shall automatically
  become the Manager; or

  the Manager fails to perform a material obligation imposed upon it under this
  Agreement, and such failure continues for a period of sixty (60) days after
  notice from the other Participant demanding performance; or

  to, requested by, or acquiesced in by the Manager; or

(e)        
  the Manager commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
  or similar law now or hereafter in effect; or consents to the entry of an order

8.7                
The Manager is and shall act as an independent contractor and not as the agent
of the other Participant. The Manager shall maintain complete control over its
employees and all of its subcontractors with respect to performance of the
Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any subcontract awarded by
the Manager shall create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor
and the other Participant. The Manager shall have complete control over and

Participants. Within twenty (20) days of receipt of the proposed Program and
Budget, the Participants may submit written comments to the Manager detailing
revisions or modifications that they would like to have made to the proposed
Program and Budget. If such written comments are received, the Manager, working
with the other Participant, shall seek for a period of time not to exceed
fifteen (15) days to develop a revised Program and Budget acceptable to both
Participants. The Manager shall submit any revised proposed Program and Budget
to the Participants at least five (5) days prior to the meeting of the

Adoption of Proposed Programs and Budgets

9.3                
At the meeting convened to consider the proposed Program and Budget, the
Management Committee shall consider and vote on the proposed Program and
Budget.

Election to Participate

9.4                
  By notice to the Management Committee within twenty (20) days after the final
  vote adopting a Program and Budget, a Participant may elect to contribute to
  such Program and Budget as follows:

(a)        
  in proportion to its respective Participating Interest as of the beginning of
  the period covered thereby; or

(b)        
  to some lesser amount than its respective Participating Interest, or not at
  all, in which cases its Participating Interest shall be recalculated as provided
  in §6.2, and such recalculated Participating Interest shall be effective
  the first day of the period covered by the adopted Program and Budget.

If a Participant fails to provide notice to the Management
Committee under this §9.4, the Participant will be deemed to have elected to
contribute to such Program and Budget in proportion to its Participating
Interest at the beginning of the Program period.

Budget Overruns; Program Changes

9.5                
The Manager shall immediately notify the Management Committee of any material
departure from an adopted Program and Budget. If the Manager exceeds the total
of an adopted Budget by more than ten percent (10%), then the excess over ten
percent (10%), unless directly caused by an emergency or unexpected expenditure
made pursuant to §9.6, or authorized or ratified by the Management Committee,
shall be for the sole account of the Manager and such excess shall not be
included in the calculations of the Participating Interests. Budget overruns of
ten percent (10%) or less shall be borne by the Participants in proportion to
their respective Participating Interests as of the time the overrun occurs.

- 21 -

Emergency Expenditures

9.6                
In case of emergency, the Manager may take any action it deems necessary to
protect life, limb or property, to protect the Assets or to comply with law or
government regulation. The Manager may also make reasonable expenditures on
behalf of the Participants for unexpected events that are beyond its reasonable
control. In the case of an emergency or unexpected expenditure, the Manager
shall promptly notify the Participants of the expenditure, and the Manager shall
be reimbursed therefor by the Participants in proportion to their respective
Participating Interests at the time the emergency or unexpected expenditure is
incurred.

Non-Manager’s Program

9.7                
This subsection shall apply only if the Non-Manager holds at least [thirty]
percent ([30]%) interest and less than [$2,000,000] in costs
under this Agreement have been incurred on the Property.

If no Program is carried out on the Property in a calendar year
and by March 1 in the following calendar year the Manager does not propose a
Program with a budget of at least [$100,000] in a Budget, the Non-Manager
may, by March 31 in that year, submit a draft Program with a Budget of at least
[$100,000]. The Non-Manager’s submission of a Program shall be a
commitment on its part to fund the entire Budget for that Program if the Manager
elects not to contribute.

If, within thirty (30) days, the Manager elects to fund its
share of the Budget of the Non-Manager’s Program, the work plan, but not the
Budget, for the Program may be modified as considered desirable and the Manager
shall carry it out. If the Manager does not elect to fund its share of the
Budget, the Non-Manager shall carry out the Program and the Manager’s Interest
will be diluted; provided that, if the Non Manager completes the Program with
less than eighty percent (80%) of the Budget having been incurred, the Manager
may contribute its share of the actual Budget incurred and thereby maintain its
Interest.

Cash Calls

9.8                
On the basis of adopted Programs and Budgets, the Manager shall submit to each
Participant, prior to the last day of each month, a billing for estimated
expenditures and Environmental Compliance fund requirements for the next month.
Within twenty (20) days after receipt of each billing, or a billing made
pursuant to §9.6 or §11.4, each Participant shall advance to the Manager its
proportionate share of the estimated amount. Time is of the essence of payment
of such billings. The Manager shall at all times maintain a cash balance
approximately equal to the rate of disbursement for up to fifteen (15) days.
After a decision has been made to begin Development, all funds in excess of
immediate cash requirements shall be invested in interest-bearing accounts for
the benefit of the Joint Account.

Failure to Meet Cash Calls

9.9                
Subject to §6.3(c) and §6.3(d), if a Participant that fails to meet cash calls
in the amount and at the times specified in §9.8 it shall be in default, and the
amounts of the defaulted cash call shall bear interest from the date due at an
annual rate equal to five (5) percentage points over the prime rate in effect
from time to time for demand, commercial loans quoted by Royal 

- 22 -

Bank of Canada at its main branch in Vancouver, British
Columbia to its most credit-worthy customers or the maximum interest rate
permitted by law, if less than this. Such interest shall accrue to the benefit
of and be payable to the non-defaulting Participant, but shall not be deemed as
amounts contributed by the non-defaulting Participant in the event dilution
occurs in accordance with 6. The non-defaulting Participant shall have those
rights, remedies and elections specified in §6.3, as well as any other rights
and remedies available to it by law.

Audits

9.10               
Upon request of any Participant made within fifteen (15) months following the
end of any calendar year (or, if the Management Committee has adopted an
accounting period other than the calendar year, within 24 months after the end
of such period), the Manager shall order an audit of the accounting and
financial records for such calendar year (or other accounting period). All
exceptions to the audit and claims upon the Manager for discrepancies disclosed
by such audit shall be made in writing not later than three (3) months after
receipt of the audit report by the Participant that requested the audit. A
Participant’s failure to make such exceptions or claims within the three (3)
month period shall (i) mean that the audit is correct and binding upon the
Participants and (ii) result in a waiver of any right to make claims upon the
Manager for discrepancies disclosed by the audit. The audits shall be conducted
by a national firm of chartered accountants selected by the Manager, unless
otherwise agreed by the Management Committee.

In addition each Participant shall have the right to conduct an
independent audit of all books, records and accounts, at the expense of the
requesting Participant, and which audit right will be limited to the period not
more than twenty-four months prior to the date the audit is conducted. All
exceptions to and claims upon the Manager for discrepancies disclosed by such
audit shall be made in writing within three (3) months after completion or
delivery of such audit, or they shall be deemed waived.

Feasibility Report and Production

9.11               
Upon the completion of a Feasibility Report which recommends commencement of
commercial production, the Manager shall present the Feasibility Report to the
Participants. A meeting of the Management Committee shall be convened to approve
the Program and Budget based on the Feasibility Report (the “FR Program and
Budget”) at least sixty (60) days prior to such meeting of the Management
Committee, the proposed FR Program and Budget shall be prepared by the Manager
and submitted to the Participants within thirty (30) days of receipt of the FR
Program and Budget, the Participants may submit written comments to the Manager
detailing revisions or modifications that they would like to have made to the FR
Program and Budget. If such written comments are received, the Manager, working
with the other Participant and the authors of the Feasibility Report, shall seek
for a period of time not to exceed twenty (20) days to develop a revised FR
Program and Budget acceptable to both Participants. The Manager shall submit any
revised FR Program and Budget to the Participants at least ten (10) days prior
to the meeting of the Management Committee to consider the proposed FR Program
and Budget. The adoption of the FR Program and Budget shall require a vote of at
least [sixty] percent ([60]%) approval.

- 23 -

Feasibility Report Alternate Program and Budget

9.12                
If the Participants do not approve the FR Program and Budget as set out in
§9.11, a Participant may propose further revisions or modifications to the FR
Program and Budget (the “Alternate FR Program and Budget”) and repeat the
procedure set out in §9.11 and if no approval is then obtained, the Participant
who proposed the Alternate FR Program and Budget may then proceed at its own
cost and expense to place the Property into commercial production based on the
Alternate FR Program and Budget. If the Property are placed into commercial
production based on the Alternate FR program and Budget, the Participant who
pays all the costs and expenses of placing the Property into commercial
production shall be entitled to two hundred percent (200%) of its costs and
after recovery of such costs the Participating Interests of the Participants
shall revert to the amounts held by each Participant prior to the commencement
of the Alternate FR Program and Budget.

Each Participant shall take in kind or separately dispose of its share of all
Products in accordance with its Participating Interest. Any extra expenditure
incurred in the taking in kind or separate disposition by any Participant of its
proportionate share of Products shall be borne by such Participant. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed as providing, directly or indirectly, for any
joint or cooperative marketing or selling of Products or permitting the
processing of Products of anyone other than the Participants at any processing
facilities constructed by the Participants pursuant to this Agreement. The
Manager shall give the Participants notice at least ten (10) days in advance of
the delivery date upon which their respective shares of Products will be

Failure of Participant to Take in Kind

10.2

but is not obligated, to sell such share on behalf of that Participant at not
less than the prevailing market price in the area for a period of time not to
exceed one year from the date of notice under §10.1. Subject to the terms of any
such contracts of sale then outstanding, during any period that the Manager is
selling a Participant’s share of production, the Participant may elect by notice
to the Manager to take in kind. The Manager shall be entitled to deduct from
proceeds of any sale by it for the account of a Participant reasonable expenses
incurred in such a sale.

Hedging

10.3                
Neither Participant shall have any obligation to account to the other
Participant for, nor have any interest or right of participation in any profits
or proceeds, nor have any obligation to share in any losses from, future

price protection or marketing mechanism employed by a Participant with respect
to its proportionate share of any Products produced or to be produced from the

(a)        
  If either Participant intends to transfer all or any part of its Participating

  (“Transferring Entity”) shall promptly notify the other Participant
  of its intentions. The notice shall state the price and all other pertinent

  copy of the offer or contract for sale. If the consideration for the intended
  transfer is, in whole or in part, other than monetary, the notice shall describe

- 27 -

such consideration and its monetary
  fair market value. The other Participant shall have thirty (30) days from the
  date such notice is delivered to notify the Transferring Entity whether it elects
  to acquire the offered interest at the same price (or its monetary equivalent)
  and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the notice. If it does
  so elect, the transfer shall be consummated promptly, but in no event more than
  thirty (30) days, after notice of such election is delivered to the Transferring
  Entity.

  If the Transferring Entity falls to consummate the transfer to a third party
  within the period set forth in §(b), the pre-emptive right of the other
  Participant in such offered interest shall be deemed to be revived. Any subsequent
  proposal to transfer such interest shall be conducted in accordance with all
  of the procedures set forth in this §13.3.

Exceptions to Pre-emptive Right

13.4                
  §13.3 shall not apply to:

  the transfer by either Participant of all or any part of its Participating Interest
  to an Affiliate provided that such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of the Participant
  for a period of not less than three (3) years;

(b)        
  corporate consolidation or reorganization of either Participant by which the
  surviving entity shall possess substantially all of the stock or all of the
  property rights and interests, and be subject to substantially all of the liabilities
  and obligations of that Participant;

(c)        
  corporate merger or amalgamation involving either Participant by which the surviving
  entity or amalgamated company shall possess all of the stock or all of the property
  rights and interests, and be subject to substantially all of the liabilities
  and obligations of that Participant; provided, however, that the value of the
  merging or amalgamating Participant’s interest in the Assets, evidenced
  by its Initial Contribution and all subsequent contributions under approved
  Programs and Budgets, does not exceed 30% of the Net Worth of the surviving
  entity or amalgamated company;

(d)        
  the transfer of Control of either Participant by an Affiliate to such Participant
  or to another Affiliate;

(e)        
  the creation by any Affiliate of either Participant of an Encumbrance affecting
  its Control of such Participant;

  a sale or other commitment or disposition of Products or proceeds from sale
  of Products by either Participant upon distribution to it pursuant to 10 of
  the Agreement; or

(g)        
  a transfer by an Affiliate of a Participant (whether an original party to this
  Agreement or Participant by virtue of §13.2(b)) of Control of such Participant
  to a third party, provided such Participant’s interest in the Assets, as
  evidenced by its Initial Contribution and all subsequent contributions under
  approved Programs and Budgets, does not exceed 30% of the Net Worth of the transferring
  Affiliate, or does not exceed 30% of the Net Worth of Transferee.

For purposes hereof the term “Net Worth” shall mean the
remainder after total liabilities are deducted from total assets. In the case of
a corporation, Net Worth includes both capital stock and surplus. In the case of
a limited liability company, Net Worth includes member contributions. In the
case of a partnership or sole proprietorship, Net Worth includes the original
investment plus accumulated and reinvested profits.

  of funds for Development or Mining costs. The right of a Participant to grant
  such Encumbrance shall be subject to the condition that the holder of the Encumbrance
  (“Chargee”) first enter into a written agreement with the other Participant,
  in a form acceptable to that Participant, acting reasonably, which provides:

(a)        
  the Chargee shall not enter into possession or institute any proceedings for
  foreclosure or partition of the encumbering Participant’s Participating
  Interest and that such Encumbrance shall be subject to the provisions of this

  sale to be subject to the purchaser entering into a written agreement with the
  other Participant whereby such purchaser assumes all obligations of the encumbering
  Participant under the terms of this Agreement. The price of any pre-emptive
  sale to the other Participant shall be the remaining principal amount of the
  loan plus accrued interest and related expenses, and such pre-emptive sale shall
  occur within sixty (60) days of the Chargee’s notice to the other Participant
  of its intent to sell the encumbering Participant’s Participating Interest.
  Failure of a sale to the other Participant to close by the end of such period,
  unless failure is caused by the encumbering Participant or by the Chargee, shall
  permit the Chargee to sell the encumbering Participant’s Participating
  Interest at a public sale; and

Participant’s notice shall describe in detail the acquisition, the lands and
minerals covered thereby, the costs thereof and the reasons why the acquiring
Participant believes that the acquisition is in the best interests of the
Participants under this Agreement. In addition to such notice, the acquiring

whatsoever developed or acquired by any Participant in connection with this
Venture shall be treated by the Participants as confidential (hereinafter called

disclose such Confidential Information to third parties without the prior
written consent of the other Participant. Confidential Information that is

department thereof to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation,
or in response to a legitimate request for such Confidential Information, the
Participant so required shall immediately notify the other Participants hereto
of such requirement and the terms thereof, and the proposed form and content of
the disclosure prior to such submission. The other Participant shall have the
right to review and comment upon the form and content of the disclosure and to

concerned, and to seek confidential treatment of any Confidential Information to
be disclosed on such terms as such Participant shall, in its sole discretion,

provided within such time, the party will be free to issue the press
release.

The provisions of this §15.6 shall apply during the term of
this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter and shall continue to

otherwise disposes of its Participating Interest for such three (3) year
period.

legal and expert witness fees and other costs of suit incurred by it in
connection with such litigation, including such costs, expenses and fees
incurred prior to the commencement of the litigation, in connection with any

Remedies

15.9                
Each of the Participants agrees that its failure to comply with the covenants
and restrictions set out in 13 would constitute an injury and damage to the
other Participant impossible to measure monetarily and, in the event of any such
failure, the other Participant shall, in addition and without prejudice to any
other rights and remedies at law or in equity, be entitled to injunctive relief
restraining, enjoining or specifically enforcing any acquisition, sale,
transfer, charge or Encumbrance save in accordance with or as required by the
provisions of 13. Any Participant intending to breach the provisions of 13
hereby waives any defence it might have in law or in equity to such injunctive
or other equitable relief. A Participant shall be entitled to seek injunctive
relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a Participant’s
failure or threat of a failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions set
out in 13.

Further Assurances

If any provision of this Agreement is or shall become illegal, invalid, or

be and remain valid and enforceable and the said remaining provisions shall be
construed as if this Agreement had been executed without the illegal, invalid,
or unenforceable portion.

Taxes

15.14               
Each Participant shall be directly responsible for and shall directly pay all
taxes applicable to revenues received by the Participant through Operations
under this Agreement. In particular, each Participant shall individually file
its tax returns with the proper authorities and independently file claims for
and recover any income tax credits. A Participant’s decisions with respect to
such tax matters shall not have any binding effect on the course of actions
taken by the other Participant. All costs of Operations incurred hereunder shall
be for the account of the Participant or Participants making or incurring the
same, if more than one then in proportion to their respective Participating
Interests, and each Participant on whose behalf any costs have been so incurred
shall be entitled to claim all tax benefits, write-offs and deductions with
respect thereto.

Rule Against Perpetuities

15.15               
If any provision of this Agreement should violate any rule against perpetuities
or any related rule against interests that last too long or are not alienable,

survivor of all the lineal descendants of His late Majesty King George V of
England, living on the date of execution of this Agreement.

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURE

The financial and accounting procedures to be followed by the
Manager and the Participants under the Agreement are set forth below. Reference
in this Accounting Procedure to Sections are to those located in this Accounting
Procedure unless it is expressly stated that they are references to the
Agreement.

The purpose of this Accounting Procedure is to establish
equitable methods for determining charges and credits applicable to operations
under the Agreement. It is the intent of the Participants that none of them
shall lose or profit by reason of their duties and responsibilities as the
Manager. The Participants shall meet and in good faith endeavour to agree upon
changes deemed necessary to correct any unfairness or inequity. In the event of
a conflict between the provisions of this Accounting Procedure and those of the
Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement shall control.

1.                    
GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1                  
General Accounting Records

The Manager shall maintain detailed and comprehensive
accounting records in accordance with this Accounting Procedure, sufficient to
provide a record of revenues and expenditures and periodic statements of
financial position and the results of operations for managerial, tax, regulatory
or other financial reporting purposes. Such records shall be retained for the
duration of the period allowed the Participants for audit or the period
necessary to comply with tax or other regulatory requirements. The records shall
reflect all obligations, advances and credits of the Participants.

1.2

  bonus (except production or incentive bonus plans under a union contract based

  similar non-union bonus plans customary in the industry or necessary to attract
  competent employees, which bonus payments shall be considered salaries and wages
  under Section 2.2(a) or 2.13, rather than employees’ benefit plans) and
  other benefit plans of a like nature applicable to salaries and wages chargeable
  under Section 2.2(a) or 2.13, provided that the plans are limited to the extent
  feasible to those customary in the industry.

  and as paid basis” or by “percentage assessment” on the amount
  of salaries and wages. If percentage assessment is used, the rate shall be applied
  to wages or salaries excluding overtime and bonuses. Such rate shall be based
  on the Manager’s cost experience and it shall be periodically adjusted
  to ensure that the total of such charges does not exceed the actual cost thereof
  to the Manager.

Environmental Compliance Fund

Costs of reasonably anticipated Environmental Compliance which,
on a Program basis, shall be determined by the Management Committee and shall be

Manager’s superintendent and other employees serving Operations whose time is
not allocated directly to such Operations, and (ii) the costs of maintaining and
operating an office (hereafter, “the Manager’s Project Office”) and any
necessary suboffice and (iii) all necessary camps, including housing facilities
for employees, used for Operations. The expense of those facilities, less any
revenue therefrom, shall include depreciation or a fair monthly rental in lieu
of depreciation of the investment. Such charges shall be apportioned for all
Property served by the employees and facilities on an equitable basis consistent
with the Manager’s general accounting practice and generally accepted accounting
principles.

2.14                 
Administrative Charge

After the Participants have made their entire Initial Contributions
  pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Venture Agreement, the Manager shall
  charge the Joint Account each month a sum as provided below, which shall be
  a liquidated amount to reimburse the Manager for its home office overhead and
  general and administrative expenses for its conduct of Operations, which shall
  be in lieu of any management fee:

(a)         
  with respect to Operations before commencement of Development, the Manager’s
  fee shall be ten percent (10%) of the Allowable Costs other than funds expended
  pursuant to any individual contract for materials or services which exceed in
  the aggregate $35,000.00 in any Program year, for which the Manager’s fee
  shall be two percent (2%);

(b)         
  with respect to operations after the commencement of Development but before
  commencement of Mining, Manager’s fee shall be five percent (5%) of Allowable
  Costs other than funds expended pursuant to any individual contract for materials
  or services which exceeds in the aggregate $100,000 in any program year in which
  event the fee for such matters shall be two percent (2%);

These fee rates are based upon the principle that the Manager
shall not make a profit or loss from this administrative charge but should be
fairly and adequately compensated for the pro rata share of its costs and
expenses. The specific rates provided for in this Section 2.14 shall be
established and may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement among the
Parties hereto if, in practice, the rates are found to be insufficient or
excessive.

amounts accrued to the Environmental Compliance fund, and all charges to the

depreciation, depletion or amortization of tangible or intangible assets; (iii)
amounts expended for acquisition, construction or installation of tangible or
intangible assets after mining operations have commenced; (iv) Property
payments, taxes and assessments; and (v) funds disbursed from the Environmental
Compliance fund.

11.5                  
If within a period of 30 days of the receipt of the Offer the Optionee notifies
the Optionor in writing that it will accept the same, the Optionor will be bound
to sell such interest to the Optionee (subject as hereinafter provided with
respect to any non-cash consideration included in the price) on the terms and
conditions of the Offer.

11.6                  
If the Offer so accepted by the Optionee contains the Optionor’s good faith
estimate of the cash equivalent of non-cash consideration , and if the Optionee
disagrees with the Optionor’s best estimate, the Optionee will so notify the
Optionor at the time of acceptance and the Optionee will, in such notice,
specify what it considers, in good faith, the fair cash equivalent to be and the
resulting total purchase price.

11.7                  
If the Optionee so notifies the Optionor, the acceptance by the Optionee will be
effective and binding upon the Optionee and the Optionor and the cash equivalent
of any such non-cash consideration will be determined by binding arbitration
under the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia) and will be payable by
the Optionee, subject to prepayment as hereinafter provided, within 10 days
following its determination by arbitration.

11.8                  
The Optionee will in such case pay to the Optionor, against receipt of an
absolute transfer of clear and unencumbered title to the interest of the
Optionor being sold, the total purchase price which is specified in its notice
to the Optionor and such amount will be adjusted , if at all, to a lower amount
as may be determined following arbitration of the cash equivalent of any
non-cash consideration.

11.9                  
If the Optionee fails to notify the Optionor before the expiration of the time
limited therefor that it will purchase the interest offered, the Optionor may
sell and transfer such interest to the Proposed Purchaser at the price and on
the terms and conditions specified in the Offer for a period of 45 days,
provided that the terms of this Part 11 will again apply to such interest if the
sale to the Proposed Purchaser is not completed within the said 45 days.

11.10                 
Any sale hereunder will be conditional upon the delivery by the Proposed
Purchaser to the Optionee of a written undertaking, in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for the Optionee, to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

the mineral claims comprised in the Property by giving notice to the Optionor of
such intention.

For a period of 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice the Optionor
may elect to have any or all of the mineral claims in respect of which such
notice has been given transferred to it (if not already registered in the
Optionor’s name) by delivery of a request therefor to the Optionee, whereupon
the Optionee will deliver to the Optionor a quit claim or release from escrow of

force majeure under §13.1 and upon cessation of such event will furnish the

majeure.
