a legally binding and enforceable agreement with the Hunter Dickinson Group
("HDG"), to implement a Joint Venture on its Louise Lake property (the "Joint
Venture Agreement") located in central British Columbia.


In order for HDG to retain its initial ownership interest of 50% in the
property, HDG must make cash payments as follows: $50,000 upon execution of the
Joint Venture Agreement (paid), $25,000 by May 31st 2012, and $25,000 by August
31st 2012. A further $100,000 cash payment or, at the sole election of HDG, the
issuance of common shares of HDG having the equivalent value after completion of
its initial public offering or an equivalent transaction ("Listed Shares") will
be due following receipt of a Notice of Work ("NOW") by HDG.


On the first anniversary of the receipt of the NOW by HDG, HDG must make a
payment of $200,000, $100,000 of which, at the sole election of HDG, can be made
through the issuance of Listed Shares. Within the first two years from receipt
of the NOW, HDG will also be required to incur exploration expenditures totaling
$3,000,000.


Provided that HDG has retained its initial ownership interest of 50%, HDG will
have an option, exercisable at its sole discretion, to earn an additional 30%
ownership interest for a total ownership interest of 80%. In order for HDG to
acquire the additional ownership interest of 30%, HDG must, on each of the third
and fourth anniversaries of the issuance of the NOW, make a payment to NAG in
the amount of $200,000, $100,000 of which, at the sole election of HDG, can be
made through the issuance of Listed Shares. Within the third and fourth years of
the receipt of the NOW, HDG will also be required to incur exploration
expenditures totaling $7,000,000.


Currently, there is a 2.0% Net Smelter Return royalty ("NSR") in favour of the
original vendors of the property, of which 50% of the NSR can be acquired for a
$1,000,000 payment to the original vendors thereby reducing the NSR to 1%.
