Exhibit I

A. Production Royalties. Golden Cycle Gold Corporation (“Golden Cycle”) and Tornado Gold International Corp. (“Tornado”) agree that production royalties shall be paid quarterly in a timely manner to Golden Cycle according to the following provisions of this paragraph (A):

(1)  
Net Smelter Returns for Bullion. Net Smelter Returns shall be paid to Golden Cycle for fine gold and/or silver bullion or dore bullion (collectively “Bullion” in this paragraph (A)) produced from the Area of Interest during each calendar quarter as “production” is defined in paragraph (A)(1)(c) below, regardless of whether Tornado actually sells such Bullion to a third party during such calendar quarter. The Net Smelter Returns calculation described in this paragraph (A)(1) shall be applied if products are produced from the Area of Interest in the form of Bullion.

(a)  
Net Smelter Returns Calculation. For Bullion, Net Smelter Returns shall mean the quantity of recoverable fine gold or silver contained in the Bullion produced (as defined in Paragraph (A)(1)(c) below) from the Area of Interest during each calendar quarter, multiplied by its average price (as calculated under paragraph (A)(1)(b) below), less one percent (1%) of such amount for reimbursement to Tornado for all costs associated with refining the Bullion, insuring the Bullion, transporting the Bullion to the place of sale, marketing the Bullion, and the amount of all taxes imposed upon or in connection with the Bullion, excepting federal and state income taxes. If the actual amount of fine gold or silver actually recovered from the Bullion differs from the amount determined at the time the Bullion is produced, the amount of royalty paid will be adjusted in the next calendar quarter to reflect the overpayment or underpayment that resulted from such difference.

(b)  
Price. The price for the Bullion shall be the average of the closing prices for gold or silver on the New York Commodity Exchange (“COMEX”) for the calendar quarter in which gold or silver is produced from the Area of Interest. The average gold and silver prices for each calendar quarter shall be determined by dividing the sum of all the daily prices in U.S. dollars per troy ounce, as posted during the calendar quarter, by the number of days that prices were posted. The posted price shall be obtained from the Wall Street Journal or other reliable source agreeable to both parties.

(c)  
Definition of Production. For the purposes of this paragraph (A)(1), production of Bullion shall be defined as follows:

(i)  
when Bullion is processed within the Area of Interest at a smelter or refinery owned or controlled by Tornado, Bullion shall be deemed to have been produced from the Area of Interest on the date Tornado completes the final process necessary for the metal product to be in a saleable form, or
 
(ii)  
when Bullion is processed off the Area of Interest at a smelter or refinery owned or controlled by Tornado, Bullion shall be deemed to have been produced from the Area of Interest on the date Tornado completes the final process necessary for the metal product to be in a saleable form, or
 
 
 

 
 
(iii)  
when Bullion is sold to a third party smelter or refiner or to another purchaser as final product, Bullion shall be deemed to have been produced from the Area of Interest when credited to Tornado’s account by such purchaser, or
 
(iv)  
when Bullion is smelted or refined at a smelter or refinery not owned or controlled by Tornado, under an arrangement whereby Tornado retains title to the resultant metal product, Bullion shall be deemed to have been produced from the Area of Interest on the date of final settlement by Tornado with the smelter or refinery.
 
(2)  
Net Smelter Returns for Other Products. Net Smelter Returns shall be paid to Golden Cycle for all products other than Bullion which are produced from the Area of Interest during each calendar quarter as “production” is defined in paragraph (A)(2)(c) below. Such other products shall include, without limitation, concentrates, precipitates, slags, carbon fines, or any other final product derived from metalliferous ores, except Bullion (collectively “Other Products” in this paragraph (A)). Other Products shall not include non-locatable substances (including, without limitation, rock, dirt, limestone, or similar materials) whether used by Tornado in its operations or not. The Net Smelter Returns calculation described in this paragraph (A)(2) shall be applied if products are sold, transferred or transported directly from the Area of Interest in the form of Other Products.

(a)  
Net Smelter Returns Calculations. For Other Products, Net Smelter Returns shall mean the total price received by Grantor (as calculated under paragraph (A)(2)(b) below) for the Other Products produced from the Area of Interest (as defined in paragraph (A)(2)(c) below) during each calendar quarter, less five percent (5%) of such amount for reimbursement to Tornado for all costs associated with insuring the Other Products, transporting the Other Products from the Area of Interest to the place of sale or transfer, marketing the Other Products, and the amount of all taxes imposed upon or in connection with the Other Products, excepting federal and state income taxes.
 
(b)  
Price. For sales to nonaffiliated persons or entities in arm’s length transactions, the price for Other Products shall be the actual amounts received by Tornado for the Sale of Other Products, including all credits and bonuses. For sales or transfers to affiliates of Tornado, or purchasers or transferees owned or controlled by Tornado, the price for Other Products shall be the greater of the amounts received by Tornado, including all credits and bonuses, or the fair market value of the Other Products had they been sold or transferred in an arm’s length transaction with a nonaffiliated purchaser, provided, however, that in all cases, if Tornado has not sold Other Products within twelve (12) months of the date upon which they were produced, the Other Products will be deemed to have been sold at the fair market value of the Other Products.
 
(c)  
Definition of Production. For the purposes of this paragraph (A)(2), production of Other Products shall be defined as follows:
 
(i)  
when Other Products are processed by Tornado on the Area of Interest at a facility owned or controlled by Tornado, Other Products Shall be deemed to have been produced from the Area of Interest on the date Tornado completes the final process necessary for the mineral product to be sold in a saleable form, or
 
 
 

 
 
(ii)  
when Other Products are processed off the Area of Interest either at a facility owned or controlled by Tornado or a third-party facility, Other Products shall be deemed to have been produced from the Area of Interest on the date the Other Products are removed from the Area of Interest, or
 
(iii)  
when Other Products are sold, transferred or transported directly from the Area of Interest in a crude or unprocessed state, Other Products shall be deemed to have been produced from the Area of Interest on the date the Other Products are removed from the Area of Interest.
 
(3)  
Other Costs. Except as specifically set forth herein, Tornado shall not deduct any costs of mining, milling, leaching, or other processing costs incurred by Tornado in the determination of the Net Smelter Returns, and provided, in all cases, that if raw ore is transported from the Area of Interest to be processed, no transportation or added processing costs incurred by Tornado shall be deducted in the determination of the Net Smelter Returns.
 
(4)  
Payment of Production Royalties. The amount of Net Smelter Returns due Golden Cycle shall be payable in the following alternative manners, depending upon the product produced:

(a)  
For Bullion, Production Royalties payable to Golden Cycle shall be calculated by multiplying the dollar amount of Net Smelter Returns determined in accordance with paragraph (A)(2) above by two percent (2%).
 
(b)  
For Other Products, Production Royalties payable to Golden Cycle shall be calculated by multiplying the dollar amount of Net Smelter Returns determined in accordance with paragraph (A)(2) above by two percent (2%).
 
(5)  
Data and Statements. Tornado shall provide to Golden Cycle data describing the date on which products are produced from the Area of Interest, the product produced, the shipment dates, and the quantity shipped. Final settlement data, identifying shipments and the quantities of shipments, shall be provided to Golden Cycle as received by Tornado, but not less frequently than annually. Each payment of Net Smelter Returns royalty to Golden Cycle shall be accompanied by a statement showing the basis for calculating the Net Smelter Returns royalty and copies of all data relating to the royalty calculation (including, but not limited to, settlement sheets used in calculating the royalty).
 
(6)  
Examination of Statements. Each statement rendered and Net Smelter Returns amount paid by Tornado may, at Golden Cycle’s written request given to Tornado within six (6) months following the delivery of such statement or payment, be verified by Golden Cycle and its agents and representatives from the financial and production records maintained by Tornado. The verification shall be at Golden Cycle’s sole risk and expense and shall be conducted so as not to interfere or conflict with Tornado’s operations. All statements rendered and Net Smelter Returns royalties paid shall conclusively be presumed to be correct and accepted by Golden Cycle as rendered or paid unless Golden Cycle timely requests verification in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (A)(6).
 
 
 

 
 
(7)  
Commingling. Tornado may commingle products produced from the Area of Interest with similar product from other properties. If Tornado engages in such commingling, Tornado shall establish procedures for determining the proportional amount of the total metal content in the commingled ores and concentrates attributable to the input from each of the properties, so that production royalties applicable to ores produced from each of the properties from which ores are commingled may reasonably be determined. The procedures to be used by Tornado shall represent standard industry practices for ores and processes similar to those encountered or used in connection with the Area of Interest.
 
(8)  
Golden Cycle agrees that Tornado shall have the exclusive right to market and sell to third parties all Bullion produced from the Area of Interest, including, without limitation, the forward sale of Bullion on the commodity markets and the repayment of gold loans. Golden Cycle shall have no right to participate in any hedging or price protection activities of Tornado, including any sales of Bullion by Tornado on the commodity markets, nor shall Golden Cycle otherwise share in any profits or losses received or incurred by Tornado as a result of Tornado’s marketing or hedging activities.
