  • (b) Commencing on September 9, 2021, Rover shall make the Advance Royalty Payment to Silver Range in the amount of \$50,000. The Advanced Royalty Payments shall continue to be made on each subsequent September 9 until such time as a Mine on the Property is brought into Commercial Production.
  • (c) Net Smelter Royalty payments and Advanced Royalty Payments which are payable hereunder shall be paid by Rover by cheque payable to or to the order of Silver Range or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions given by Silver Range to Rover at least five Business Days in advance of any payment date. The date of placing such payment in the mail by Rover, or the date the wire transfer process is initiated, shall be the date of such payment. Payments by Rover in accordance herewith shall fully discharge Rover's obligations with respect to such payment, and Rover shall have no duty to otherwise apportion or allocate any payment due to Silver Range or its successors or assigns.

2.4 Operations, Assaying, Sampling, and Commingling

(a) Rover shall have exclusive control of all operations on or for the benefit of the Property, and any and all equipment, supplies, machinery and other assets purchased or otherwise acquired or under its control in connection with such operations. Rover may carry out such operations on the Property as it may, in its sole discretion, determine to be warranted. The timing, nature, manner and extent of exploration, development, mining or processing operations on or for the benefit of the Property, if any, shall be within the sole discretion of Rover, and there shall be no implied or express covenant to begin or continue any such operations, Silver Range hereby acknowledging that the other consideration it received under the Option Agreement was sufficient for the assets it conveyed to Rover thereunder. If Rover, at any time and from time to time after commencing operations, desires to shut down, suspend or cease operations for any reason, it shall have the right to do so in its sole discretion. Rover may use and employ such methods of exploration, development, mining, processing or marketing as it may desire or find most profitable. Rover shall not be required to mine, preserve, or protect in its mining operations any Products which cannot be mined or shipped at a reasonable profit to Rover. Any decision as to the time, manner and form in which ores or other Products are to be sold shall be made by Rover in its sole discretion.

  • (b) All determinations with respect to: (i) whether ore will be beneficiated, processed or milled by Rover or sold in a raw state; (ii) the methods of beneficiating, processing or milling any such ore; (iii) the constituents to be recovered therefrom; and (iv) the purchasers to whom any ore, minerals or mineral substances may be sold, shall be made by Rover in its sole discretion.
  • (c) The mineral content of all ore mined and removed from the Property (excluding ore leached in place) and the quantities of constituents recovered by Rover shall be determined by Rover, or with respect to such ore which is sold, by the mill or smelter to which the ore is sold, in accordance with standard sampling and analysis procedures, and shall be weighted average based on the total amount of ore from the Property crushed and sampled, or the constituents recovered, during an entire calendar quarter. Upon reasonable advance notice to Rover, Silver Range shall have the right to have representatives present at the time samples are taken for the purpose of confirming that the sampling and analysis procedure is standard and acceptable according to accepted engineering practices.
  • (d) Rover shall have the right to mix or commingle, either underground, at the surface or at processing plants or other treatment facilities, any material containing Products mined or extracted from the Property with ores or material derived from other lands or properties, provided that the commingling is accomplished only after such ores and materials have been fairly and accurately weighed and sampled. An accurate record of the weight or volume, along with the results of the sampling of such Products which are so commingled, shall be kept for a period of two years and made available to Silver Range at all reasonable times.
  • (e) Any ore, mine waters, leachates, pregnant liquors, pregnant slurries and other products or compounds or metals or minerals mined from the Property shall be the property of Rover, subject to the Net Smelter Royalty as provided herein. The Net Smelter Royalty provided for herein shall be payable on metals, ores or minerals recovered prior to the time waste rock, spoil, tailings or other mine waste and residue are first disposed of as such, and payable on metals, ores or minerals recovered through the subsequent reprocessing of such waste rock, spoil, tailings or other mine wastes and residues.

2.5 Books, Records and Auditors

Rover shall maintain or cause to be maintained full and complete books and records with respect to all matters relating to the calculation and payment of the Net Smelter Royalty pursuant to this Article 2, including the determination of the Permissible Deductions and including the records described in Section 2.4, in accordance with good bookkeeping practices and good mining practice and otherwise in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards. Subject to the permissible audit period described in Section 2.3(a), Silver Range shall have the right to have reviewed any audited Year End Statement as well as all of Rover's pertinent working papers in connection with such Year End Statement by a reputable and experienced independent auditor on reasonable notice to Rover. Any such audit shall be conducted upon reasonable advance written notice by Silver Range to Rover, during regular business hours, and in such a manner so as to not interfere with Rover's conduct of its normal business activities. If Silver Range's auditors reasonably conclude, in writing (with a copy of such conclusions to be provided to Rover by Silver Range), that they are not justified in relying on such Year End Statement or working papers, Silver Range's auditors shall be provided with full access to all of the books and records of Rover for the purpose of such review; provided, however, that Silver Range's auditors enter into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Rover, acting reasonably. In the event that a discrepancy in the Net Smelter Royalty payable to Silver Range is determined pursuant to such audit for any Calculation Period:

  • (a) whereby the amount paid to Silver Range as the Net Smelter Royalty is less than the amount that should have been paid to Silver Range as the Net Smelter Royalty for such period, Rover shall promptly pay the amount of such discrepancy to Silver Range, and all costs associated with such audit (but only to the extent the underpayment is determined to be greater than five percent of the amount owed) shall be borne by Rover; or
  • (b) whereby the amount paid to Silver Range as the Net Smelter Royalty is more than the amount that should have been paid to Silver Range as the Net Smelter Royalty for such period, Rover shall be entitled to reduce any subsequent Interim Royalty Payments until the amount of the overpayment is fully recouped, and all costs associated with such audit shall be borne by Silver Range.

2.6 Rover's Right of Repurchase

In consideration of the covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, Silver Range hereby grants to and in favour of Rover the right, which right shall be exercisable by Rover at its discretion for the term of this Agreement by Rover delivering written notice to Silver Range to such effect, to buy down one percent (1%) of the Royalty Percentage for a buy down price of one (1) million dollars (\$1,000,000), with the result that, after the date of effect of such buy down, the Royalty Percentage shall be calculated and payable at the rate of one percent (1%) of Net Smelter Returns. No Advanced Royalty Payments made pursuant to Section 2.3(b) hereof shall not be deductible from the one (1) million dollar (\$1,000,000) payment required to buy down the Royalty Percentage, as set out above.

SCHEDULE "C" SUMMARY OF JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT

    1. The words and terms as defined in the Agreement to which this Schedule "C" is attached shall have the same meaning for the purposes of this Schedule "C" unless otherwise specifically indicated.
    1. Each party shall contribute to all costs and take its share of ores, minerals or products derived from the Property in proportion to its undivided percentage interest (the "Interest") in the Property from time to time.
    1. Initial Expenditures under the Joint Venture shall be agreed to in writing by the parties (the "Joint Venture Expenditures"). Each party will contribute its share of the Joint Venture Expenditures in proportion to its interest in the Joint Venture as determined in accordance with Sections 9 and 10 below. The Joint Venture Expenditures shall be advanced to the Operator by each party in accordance with staged work program budgets as approved by the Management Committee.
    1. All operations on and in connection with a Property shall be managed by a committee (the "Management Committee") consisting of one (1) representative of each of the parties. A party's representative on the Management Committee shall have such number of votes equal to such party's Interest at the time of the vote. All decisions of the Management Committee shall be made by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the case of a tied vote, no party shall have a casting vote.
    1. All disputes between the parties, including tied votes of the Management Committee, that remain unresolved after a period of thirty (30) days shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Act (British Columbia).
    1. The Optionee shall be the initial joint venture operator and shall remain as the operator for as long as its Interest is equal to or exceeds fifty percent (50%) (the "Operator"). If the Interest of the Optionee becomes less than fifty percent (50%), the party with the greatest Interest shall become the Operator, unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the parties.
    1. All operations on and in connection with a Property shall be carried out exclusively by the Operator and the Operator shall have the right to retain such subcontractors as it sees fit. The Operator shall be entitled to charge a management fee equal to ten percent (10%) on general exploration expenditures and ten percent (10%) on helicopter, drilling and airborne survey expenditures. The Operator shall only be entitled to charge a management fee of five percent (5%) on actual costs incurred by contractors. No management fee shall be paid in regard to profit or mark-up charged by contractors. Any management fee payable upon the commencement of commercial production from a mine on the Property shall be determined in accordance with accepted mining industry standards.
    1. All Joint Venture operations shall be carried out by each and all Operators in accordance with health, safety, environment and community relations standards as approved in advance by the Management Committee.
    1. The respective Interests of each party shall be determined at the time the Joint Venture Agreement is entered into and the deemed exploration expenditures of each Party shall be calculated on the basis of actual Expenditures incurred by the Optionee and the retained carried Interest in the Property of the Optionor.
    1. A party shall elect whether or not to contribute to each annual work program and budget. If a party elects not to contribute to a budget, its Interest shall be reduced, such that a party's Interest at any time shall be calculated by dividing the subject party's deemed and actual Expenditures by the deemed and actual Expenditures of all of the parties, and multiplying the resulting fraction by 100 (standard straight line dilution provision).
    1. Upon exercise of the First Option and the termination of the Second Option, the deemed Expenditures of each of the Optionee and the Optionor will be \$1,600,000 and \$533,333, respectively.
    1. If a party elects to contribute to a work program and budget and then fails to pay an invoice in a timely manner, that party (the "Defaulting Party") shall be deemed to have elected not to contribute to the budget pursuant to the provisions contained in paragraph 10 of this Schedule "C". The non-defaulting party shall be entitled to complete the original work program or a revised work program and the Defaulting Party's Interest shall be reduced accordingly.
    1. The Operator shall be entitled to include in each budget, in addition the amounts to be actually expended, the reasonably estimated cost of satisfying continuing obligations relating to environmental protection, rehabilitation, reclamation and decommissioning.
    1. If at any time a party's Interest is reduced to below ten percent (10%), it shall be deemed to have conveyed its interest proportionately to the other party in consideration of the right to receive a one percent (1%) net smelter royalty on commercial production from a mine on the Property.
    1. At the time the joint venture is deemed to have been established in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Optionor shall have retained the Royalty Interest. The Royalty Interest shall be paid to the Optionor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Royalty Agreement.
    1. In the event that the Management Committee elects not to carry out a work program in any given year, each party shall be obligated to contribute its proportionate share of the funds required to keep a Property in good standing under any applicable laws in force at that time ("Maintenance Funds"). If a party fails to provide Maintenance Funds within sixty (60) days of receipt of notice from the Operator that Maintenance Funds are required (the "Non-Contributing Party"), it shall be deemed to have conveyed its Interest proportionately to the other party in consideration of the payment of \$10. Upon such deemed conveyance, the conveying party ceases to hold any interest in the Property. Within sixty (60) days of such deemed conveyance, the Non-Contributing Party shall deliver applicable title documentation to the other party.
    1. Any transfer, sale or other disposition of a party's interests in the Joint Venture shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favour of the other joint venture member.
