ARTICLE III

Payment Procedures; Reports

          3.1 Payments of Production Payments. Payments of the Production Payments shall be made on a calendar quarter basis, within ten (10) business days after the end of each calendar quarter, by check or wire transfer, at the election of Grantee, to the address set forth in Section 5.2. The amount of each payment shall be equal to the sum of the monthly amounts due for each Month during such calendar quarter. All payments shall be accompanied by statements that describe in reasonable detail the basis of calculation of the amounts paid under the Production Payments.

          3.2 Financial Reports. Subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section 4.4, Grantee shall have the right to be supplied monthly with duplicate settlement sheets from any refinery, mill, smelter or other purchaser of Through-Put Production, whether or not Through-Put Production has been sold, and shall contain sufficient information as to the value, pricing and amounts of intermediate product and final product sold for Grantor’s account so that Grantee will have access to all information and data that are reasonably necessary and appropriate for it to determine the amount of Production Payments due it under this Conveyance.

          3.3 Objection, Finality of Payments. Grantee, at its sole election and expense, shall have the right to perform, not more frequently than once annually following the close of each calendar year, an audit by any authorized representative of Grantee of Grantor’s accounts relating to the Production Payments. Any such inspection shall be for a reasonable length of time during regular business hours, at a mutually convenient time, upon at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice by Grantee. All payments of Production Payments made in any calendar year shall be considered final and in full accord and satisfaction of all obligations of Grantor, unless Grantee gives written notice describing and setting forth a specific objection to the calculation thereof within one (1) year following the end of that calendar year. Grantor shall account for any agreed upon deficit or excess in payments of Production Payments made to Grantee by adjusting the next monthly statement and payment following completion of such audit to account for such deficit or excess.

ARTICLE IV

Additional Rights, Obligations and Covenants of the Parties

          4.1 Commingling of Production. Subject to the limitations, conditions and requirements of this Section 4.1, Grantor shall have the right to mix or commingle, either underground, at the surface, or at a processing plant or any other treatment facilities, any production from the Lands with ores or material derived from other lands or properties whether or not owned, leased or controlled by Grantor. Before commingling, Grantor shall weigh, measure, sample and analyze the respective ores and materials in accordance with sound mining and metallurgical practices such that the amount of gold recovered from the Lands can be reasonably and accurately determined. As products are produced from the commingled ores, Grantor shall calculate from representative samples the average percentage recovery of products

          produced from the commingled ores during each month. In obtaining representative samples and calculating the average grade of commingled ores and average percentage of recovery, Grantor may use procedures that are in accordance with best practices in the mining and metallurgical industry. The records relating to commingled ores shall be made available for inspection by Grantee, at Grantee’s sole expense, at all reasonable times and shall be retained by Grantor for a period of one (1) year after the calendar year in which the commingling occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, Grantor shall not commingle production from the Lands with ores or minerals derived from other lands or properties if such

commingling has a reasonable likelihood of reducing the recovery rate of metals from the Lands below what the recovery rate would have been without commingling. Any disputes concerning commingling procedures or results or the applicability of the prohibition in the preceding sentence shall be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 5.9.

          4.2 Geological and Other Data and Reports. From and after the date of execution of this Conveyance, Grantor shall deliver to Grantee not less frequently that quarterly, or otherwise shall make available, the following data and information relating to operations conducted on or for the benefit of the Lands and with respect to the Taparko Processing Facility:

          (a) The monthly operations and exploration report prepared by Grantor for operations on the Lands and with respect the Taparko Processing Facility;

          (b) The annual reserve report for the Lands prepared by Grantor, along with any updates, as and when any of the same have been finalized and approved by Grantor;

          (c) Grantor’s life of mine plan relating to the Taparko – Bouroum Project;

          (d) The annual plan and budget prepared by Grantor relating to the Taparko – Bouroum Project and any amendments thereto, as and when any of the same have been finalized and approved by Grantor; and

          (e) Any additional material engineering or economic studies or analyses prepared by Grantor and relating to the Lands and the Taparko – Bouroum Project as and when any of the same have been finalized and approved by Grantor.

          4.3 Inspection. Grantee and its authorized agents who are experienced in mining operations, at Grantee’s sole risk and expense, shall have the right, exercisable at reasonable intervals and during regular business hours, at a mutually convenient time, and in a reasonable manner conforming to Grantor’s safety rules and regulations and so as not to interfere with Grantor’s operations, to go upon the Lands and the premises of the Taparko Processing Facility for the purposes of inspecting same. Grantee shall furnish Grantor with prior written notice of the time and place of any inspection by Grantee pursuant to this Section 4.3. Grantee shall defend, indemnify and hold Grantor harmless from and against all costs incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs of defending any such claims) based on claims for damages, including injury or damage to other persons or property, arising out of any death, personal injury or property damage sustained by Grantee, its agents or employees, while in or upon the Properties, unless such death, injury or damage results from Grantor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          4.4 Confidentiality. Grantee shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantor, disclose to any third party (excluding, however, any representative, affiliate, agent, consultant or contractor of Grantee who has a bona fide need to be informed) any information concerning

operations, including exploration, on the Properties which is not generally available to the public; provided, however, that upon not less than five (5) days’ prior written notice to Grantor setting forth the nature and content of the proposed disclosure, Grantee may disclose information or data pertaining to the Lands, the Taparko – Bouroum Project and the Taparko Processing Facility to: (a) any third party to whom Grantee in good faith anticipates selling or assigning all or a part of its interest hereunder, or (b) any lender or underwriter from whom Grantee is seeking to obtain funds. Grantee shall require those parties to keep the information so provided confidential. If either Grantor or Grantee determines in good faith that a disclosure is required for compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders of any government agency or stock exchange having jurisdiction, that party shall provide as much prior notice to the other party of the nature and contents of the proposed disclosure, for the review and comment of the other party, as is reasonably possible under the circumstances.

          4.5 No Abandonment of Properties. Until satisfaction of the Production Payments, Grantor shall not abandon the Taparko – Bouroum Project, which shall include, without limitation, suspension of construction, operation of maintenance of the Taparko – Bouroum Project, except for cessation of operations under care and maintenance.

          4.6 Processing of Ore from the Lands. Grantor hereby covenants and agrees with Grantee that all ore produced from the Lands shall be processed in the Taparko Processing Facility.

          4.7 Refining Contracts. Grantor hereby covenants and agrees with Grantee that during the entire term of this Conveyance, Grantor shall maintain in full force and effect refining contracts with smelter and/or refiners reasonably acceptable to Grantee, and Grantor shall use its best efforts to cause such refining contracts to provide for, where possible, payment by the refiner and/or smelter directly to Grantee of amounts due hereunder (i) in cash or, (ii) upon request by Grantee and if not prohibited by applicable law, in kind. If the “in kind” arrangement is possible with a refiner, then such relationship shall be a direct relationship between Grantee and the refiner with respect to the payment and production to be taken in kind, with no further involvement, obligation, liability, or risk of loss to Grantor or High River Gold Mines Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of Canada, after credit of the applicable cash payment to the account of Grantee, such that the conversion to “in kind” shall be upon such terms and conditions as the refiner and Grantee agree.

     (c) Arbitral Awards.

          (i) The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall specify the factual and legal bases for the award.

     (c) Enforcement. All decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered against them in any court of competent jurisdiction.
