Dear Sirs:
Re: Purchase Agreement, Ivanhoe Creek Property, Elko County, Nevada
This letter will confirm in writing the agreement made between us today with respect to the 22 unpatented lode mining claims situated in Elko County, Nevada, set out in more detail in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, and collectively called the "Property" in this letter agreement.
1. Richard R. Redfern ("Redfern"), doing business as RMIC Gold ("RMIC GOLD", and collectively with Redfern, the "Seller") has represented to Rimrock Gold Corp. and Rimrock Mining Inc. (collectively "Rimrock Gold" or "Buyer") that:
| (a) | the Seller has located the lode mining claims comprising the Property, and has recorded them in the name of Redfern in the County Court House for Elko County Nevada and has filed and paid for them in 2013 within the prescribed time period in the office of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM"): |
| (b) | upon the execution and delivery of this agreement and the recordation of the quit claims (in the form set out in Exhibit "C" hereto) by Redfern with respect to the claims recorded in his name, Rimrock Gold will own a 100% beneficial interest in and to the Property, and Rimrock Gold will be the recorded owner of a 100% interest in the Property, subject to a one percent (1%) Net Smelter Return Royalty granted herein to Redfern as stipulated and described in Exhibit B hereto; |
| (c) | the Property is free and clear of all charges, liens and encumbrances of every nature; |
| (d) | the lode mining claims constituting the Property have been staked and are now recorded and in good standing in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies in effect in Nevada; |
| (f) | to the best of the Seller's knowledge, between the time of staking of the claims comprising the Property and the time of recordation, the use of the Property has complied with all applicable laws, regulations and policies relating to environmental matters and no hazardous material has been released into the environment on or near the Property; |
679271 | 10/07/2013 003 of 16 |
| (g) | the Seller has all right and authority to enter into this agreement and to grant to Rimrock Gold the exclusive option to acquire a 100% beneficial and recorded interest in and to the Property; |
| (h) | no third party has the right to receive any payment in the nature of a rent or royalty with respect to production of minerals from the Property, nor has the right to receive production in kind, except for usage rights and mining rights owned by Kent Exploration Inc. for the IC Bentonite placer claims. Redfern owns a one percent (1%) Net Smelter Return royalty granted to him by Kent Exploration for mineral production from the IC Bentonite placer mining claims in the Property area and this royalty is separate from and is not subject to provisions of this agreement with Buyer; and |
| (i) | no other third party has made any legal claim to, nor has any right to make a legal claim to, the mineral rights which constitute the Property apart from the IC Bentonite claims. |
2. Redfern shall, promptly following the execution and delivery of this agreement, record in the name of Buyer the claims comprising the Property in the office of the BLM, and shall then invoice Rimrock Gold for the recording fees and disbursements relating to such recording. Rimrock Gold shall reimburse Redfern for such costs within 30 days following the receipt of the invoice.
3. The Seller hereby grants to Rimrock Gold the exclusive option (the "Option") to acquire a 100% beneficial and recorded interest in and to the Property by paying the Seller by issuing 150,000 common shares in the capital of Rimrock Gold Corp. on or before three months following the Effective Date upon the execution and delivery of this agreement and the recording of the claims comprising the Property in the office of the BLM. These shares will have the normal Six month hold period as stipulated by regulatory authorities.
4. If the Purchase contemplated herein is executed, and Rimrock Gold subsequently wishes to abandon claims comprising all or a part of the Property, Rimrock Gold shall quitclaim the claims in Exhibit A back to RMIC Gold at least 30 days prior to September 1 of the year contemplated for dropping of these claims. If the Seller gives Rimrock Gold notice that it wishes to acquire all or some of such claims at least 15 days prior to the effective date of abandonment, Rimrock Gold shall execute and deliver to the Seller quit claims in recordable form, such that the Seller may record in its name the claims proposed to be abandoned.
5. Rimrock Gold may at any point in time buy-out one percent (1%) Net Smelter Return royalty thereby reducing RMIC Gold's interest to 0% NSR, by payment to RMIC Gold of $1,000,000.
6. Forthwith following the execution and delivery of this agreement, the Seller will deliver to Rimrock Gold all of the reports, maps, surveys and other data in its possession or under its control relating to the mineral potential of the Property.

8. This agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws in effect in the State of Nevada, including those laws dealing with conflict of laws. Any disputes shall be settled in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, in Nevada.
9. If Rimrock Gold fails to make any payment or share issuance on or before the last day provided for such payment or performance under this agreement, the Seller may terminate this agreement but only if:
| (a) | it shall have first given to Rimrock Gold written notice of the failure, containing particulars of the payment which Rimrock Gold has not made or the act which Rimrock Gold has not performed; and |
| (b) | Rimrock Gold has not within 30 days following delivery of the Seller's notice given notice to the Seller that it has cured such failure or commenced proceedings to cure such failure by appropriate payment or performance (Rimrock Gold hereby agreeing that should it so commence to cure any failure it will prosecute the same to completion without undue delay). |
10. Upon any relinquishment of the claims back to seller, buyer shall deliver to RMIC Gold copies of all non-interpretive factual data regarding the Property in Rimrock Gold's possession at the time of termination and which have not been hitherto been delivered to the Seller. Rimrock Gold agrees that it will, within 30 days after receipt of the written request of the Seller, deliver to the Seller copies of all such non-interpretive factual data. Rimrock Gold does not make, and shall not be deemed to have made, directly or indirectly, any express or implied representation or warranty to the Seller as to the accuracy or completeness of any such data delivered to the Seller except that it was developed and delivered in good faith. Rimrock Gold shall not have any liability arising out of the use of or reliance on any non-interpretive factual data delivered to the Seller hereunder so long as Rimrock Gold developed and delivered it in good faith.
11. The Seller hereby waives all and any extra-lateral rights to each of the lode mining claims constituting the Property.
12. The various conveyancing documents referred to herein shall be in the form of those attached as Exhibit "C" hereto.

NET SMELTER RETURNS
1. In the Agreement, "Net Smelter Returns" means the net amount of money received by the Payor for its own account from the sale of ore, or ore concentrates or other products from the Property to a smelter or other ore buyer after deduction of smelter and/or refining charges, ore treatment charges, penalties and any and all charges made by the purchaser of ore or concentrates, less any and all transportation costs which may be incurred in connection with the transportation of ore or concentrates, less all umpire charges which the purchaser may be required to pay. In this section, "transportation costs" shall mean actual costs of transportation (including freight, insurance, security transaction taxes, handling, port demurrage, delay and forwarding expenses incurred by reason of or in the course of transportation) of the product from the Property to the smelter or refinery and from the smelter or refinery to the place of sale, but in no event shall charges or costs of transportation of ore from any mine on the Property to an autoclave, concentrator, crusher roasting plant, heap leach or other leach facility, mill or other similar facility or plant situated outside the Area of Interest be deductible from the Net Smelter Payable to Owner.
2. Payment of Net Smelter Returns by the Payor to the Owner shall be made semi-annually within 60 days after the end of each fiscal half year of the Payor and shall be accompanied by unaudited financial statements pertaining to the operations carried out by the Payor on the Property. Taxes payable with respect to the payment of Net Smelter Returns to the Owner shall be for the sole account of the Owner. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Payor in which Net Smelter Returns are payable to the Owner, the records relating to the calculation of Net Smelter Returns for such year shall be audited and any resulting adjustments in the payment of Net Smelter Returns payable to the Owner shall be made forthwith. A copy of the said audit shall be delivered to the Owner within 30 days of the end of such 90-day period.
3. Each annual audit shall be final and not subject to adjustment unless the Owner delivers to the Payor written exceptions in reasonable detail within six months after the Owner receives the report. The Owner, or its representative duly authorized in writing, at its expense, shall have the right to audit the books and records of the Payor related to Net Smelter Returns to determine the accuracy of the report, but shall not have
679271 | 10/07/2013 008 of 16 |

The Payor shall have the right to condition access to its books and records on execution of a written agreement by the auditor that all information will be held in confidence and used solely for purposes of audit and resolution of any disputes related to the report. A copy of the Owner's report shall be delivered to the Payor upon completion, and any discrepancy between the amount actually paid by the Payor and the amount which should have been paid according to the Owner's report shall be paid forthwith, one party to the other. In the event that the said discrepancy is to the detriment of the Owner and exceeds 5% of the amount actually paid by the Payor, then the Payor shall pay the entire cost of the audit.
4. Any dispute arising out of or related to any report, payment, calculation or audit shall be resolved solely by arbitration as provided in the Agreement. No error in accounting or in interpretation of the Agreement shall be the basis for a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, or the like, or give rise to a claim for exemplary or punitive damages or for termination or rescission of the Agreement or the estate and rights acquired and held by the Payor under the terms of the Agreement.
5. Rimrock Gold may at any point in time buy-out one percent (1%) Net Smelter Return royalty thereby reducing RMIC Gold's interest to 0% NSR, by payment to RMIC Gold of $1,000,000.
