Attention: Mr. Marcio Fonseca, President & CEO

Research Capital Corporation, as co-lead underwriter and sole bookrunner ("RCC") and Red Cloud Securities Inc., as co-lead underwriter (collectively, the "Underwriters"), understand that GR Silver Mining Ltd. (the "Corporation") proposes to issue and offer for sale on a "bought deal" basis (i) 33,334,000 Units (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the LIFE Offering (as hereinafter defined) (the Units to be issued under the LIFE Offering being the "LIFE Units") and (ii) 25,000,000 Units pursuant to the Private Placement Offering (as hereinafter defined), (the Units to be issued under the Private Placement Offering being the "Private Placement Units", and together with the LIFE Units, the "Offered Units"), in each case, at $0.30 per Offered Unit (the "Offering Price"), to the Underwriters all as provided in this Agreement, in the respective percentages set forth in Article 13 thereof, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of $17,500,200.

In addition, the Corporation hereby grants to the Underwriters an option (the "Underwriters' Option") to increase the size of the LIFE Offering by up to an additional 3,999,333 LIFE Units (the "Additional LIFE Units") and to increase the size of the Private Placement Offering by up to an additional 4,333,500 Private Placement Units (the "Additional Private Placement Units", and together with the Additional LIFE Units, the "Additional Units"), each at the Offering Price, which the Underwriters may elect at their discretion to exercise, and which option is exercisable in whole or in part on one or more occasions by notice given at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Unless otherwise specifically referenced or unless the context otherwise requires, all references to "Offered Units" herein shall include the Additional Units (to the extent the Underwriter's Option is exercised).

Based upon the foregoing and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions set out below, the Underwriters hereby severally (and not jointly or jointly or severally) agree to purchase from the Corporation on a "bought deal" basis, and the Corporation hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters, in the respective percentages set forth in Article 13 thereof:

The LIFE Offering will be made in accordance with the 'listed issuer financing exemption' in Part 5A of NI 45-106 (as hereinafter defined), as amended by the Blanket Order (as hereinafter defined), to purchasers in Qualifying Jurisdictions (as hereinafter defined). The LIFE Units may be offered and sold in other jurisdictions where the LIFE Offering can lawfully be made, including to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States (as hereinafter defined) and U.S. Persons (as hereinafter defined), solely on a private placement basis in accordance with available exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act (as hereinafter defined) and applicable U.S. state securities laws. Any offers or sales of LIFE Units in the United States or to U.S. Persons shall be effected only by or through one or more duly-registered United States broker-dealers (the "U.S. Placement Agents") affiliated with or appointed by the Underwriters. Subject to applicable law, including U.S. Securities Laws (as hereinafter defined) and the terms of this Agreement, the LIFE Units may also be offered and sold outside Canada and the United States, in such jurisdictions as the Corporation and the Underwriters may agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by the Corporation), where they may be lawfully sold on a basis exempt from the prospectus, registration and similar requirements of any such jurisdictions.

The Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the Offered Units have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under any U.S. state securities laws. Accordingly, the Corporation and the Underwriters agree that any offers or sales of LIFE Units or Private Placement Units to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States and U.S. Persons shall be made in compliance with the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act, and similar exemptions under applicable U.S. state securities laws, and conducted only in the manner specified in Schedule "D" hereof. All actions to be undertaken by the Underwriters in the United States in connection with the matters contemplated herein shall be undertaken through a U.S. Placement Agent.

The Corporation agrees that the Underwriters will be permitted to appoint, in addition to the U.S. Placement Agent(s), other appropriately registered investment dealers to form a selling group to participate in the Offerings (as hereinafter defined). Such other brokers and dealers, together with the Underwriters and any U.S. Placement Agent, are collectively referred to herein as the "Selling Group". The Corporation grants all of the rights and benefits of this Agreement to any investment dealer who is a member of any Selling Group formed by the Underwriters and appoints the Underwriters as trustees of such rights and benefits for all such investment dealers, and the Underwriters hereby accept such trust and agree to hold such rights and benefits for and on behalf of all such investment dealers. The Underwriters shall ensure that any investment dealer who is a member of any Selling Group formed by the Underwriters pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph or with whom the Underwriters have a contractual relationship with respect to the Offerings, if any, shall agree to comply with the relevant covenants and obligations given by the Underwriters herein. The Underwriters shall, however, be under no obligation to engage any sub-agent or form any Selling Group.

In consideration for their services hereunder, the Corporation agrees to pay (and, if applicable, issue) to the Underwriters the fees and any other compensation set forth in this Agreement.

  • 36 -

may be made against the Underwriters, to which the Underwriters and/or their Personnel may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, upon the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Underwriters and their Personnel hereunder, provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement that has become non-appealable shall determine that:

(a) the Underwriters or their Personnel have been negligent or dishonest or have committed any fraudulent act or wilful misconduct in the course of such performance, or have breached applicable Laws; and

(b) the expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as to which indemnification is claimed, were directly caused by the negligence, dishonesty, fraud, wilful misconduct or breach referred to in Section 9.1(a).

9.2 If for any reason (other than the occurrence of any of the events itemized in Section 9.1(a) and 9.1(b)), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Underwriter or insufficient to hold them harmless, then subject to Article 10, the Corporation shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Underwriters as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Corporation and the Underwriters, as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Corporation shall, in any event, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Underwriters as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability, any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees received by the Underwriters hereunder pursuant to this Agreement.

9.3 The Corporation agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Corporation and/or the Underwriters, the Underwriters shall have the right to employ their own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriters for time spent by its Personnel in connection therewith) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by its Personnel in connection therewith shall be paid by the Corporation as they occur if:

(a) the Corporation does not promptly assume the defence of such legal proceeding;

(b) the Corporation and the Underwriters shall have mutually agreed to the retention of the other counsel; or

(c) the Underwriters are advised by counsel in writing that there is an actual or potential conflict in the Corporation's and the Underwriters' respective interests or additional defences are available to the Underwriters, which makes representation by the same counsel inappropriate;

provided that in any event the Corporation will not be responsible for the costs of more than one counsel for all of the Underwriters or Personnel in any one legal proceeding.


  • 37 -

9.4 Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding against the Underwriters or any of their Personnel or after receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation, which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Corporation, the Underwriters will notify the Corporation in writing of the commencement thereof and, throughout the course thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Corporation, will keep the Corporation advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Corporation all significant actions proposed provided that the omission so to notify the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any liability which it has to the Underwriters or any Personnel except and only to the extent that any such delay in or failure to give notice as herein required prejudices the defence of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim or results in any material increase in the liability which the Corporation has under this indemnity.

9.5 No admission of liability and no settlement of any action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation will be made without the consent of the Underwriters or other parties affected (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

The foregoing provisions shall survive the completion of professional services rendered under this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.

In the event that the Corporation may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or law, the Corporation will be limited to contribution from the Underwriters in an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (a) the portion of the full amount of losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible; and (b) the amount of the Underwriting Fee actually received by the subject Underwriter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person guilty of negligence, dishonesty, bad faith, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misconduct will not be entitled to contribution from any other party. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party


  • 38 -

or parties under this section, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party will not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it may have otherwise under this section, except to the extent that the party from whom contribution may be sought is prejudiced by such omission. The right to contribution provided herein will be in addition and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise by law.

11.1 Whether or not the Offerings are completed, the Corporation will be responsible for all expenses incurred from time to time in connection with the Offerings, including the Underwriters' reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, all reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel to the Underwriters (with respect to the Underwriters' Counsel up to a maximum of $90,000, exclusive of taxes and disbursements). The Corporation will also be responsible for any eligible HST on the foregoing amounts. The Corporation covenants and agrees to fully reimburse the Underwriters from time to time for such reasonable expenses as soon as practical following the receipt by the Corporation of one or more invoices.

ARTICLE 12- SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

12.1 All warranties and representations of the Underwriters herein contained will survive the purchase by the Underwriter of the Offered Units and will continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Corporation until the Survival Limitation Date. All warranties and representations of the Corporation herein contained or contained in documents submitted or required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement will survive the purchase by the Underwriter of the Offered Units and will continue in full force and effect (with respect to representations and warranties, as to their truth and accuracy as at the Time of Closing) for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Purchasers until the Survival Limitation Date.

ARTICLE 13 - UNDERWRITERS' OBLIGATIONS

13.1 The obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares in connection with the Offerings at the Time of Closing on any Closing Date shall be several, and not joint, nor joint and several, and shall be as to the following percentages to be purchased at any such time:

Research Capital Corporation 60.0%
Red Cloud Securities Inc. 40.0%
Total 100%

13.2 If either of the Underwriters shall not complete the purchase and sale of its applicable percentage of the aggregate amount of the Offered Units at the Closing for any reason whatsoever, including by reason of Article 8, the other Underwriter shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase the Offered Units which would otherwise have been purchased by the Underwriter which fails to purchase. If, with respect to the Offered Units, the non-defaulting Underwriter elects not to exercise such rights to assume the entire obligations of the defaulting Underwriter, then the Corporation shall have the right to either (i) proceed with the sale of the Offered Units (less the defaulted Offered Units) to the non-

defaulting Underwriters; or (ii) terminate its obligations hereunder without liability except pursuant to the provisions of Article 8 and Article 11 in respect of the non-defaulting Underwriter. Additionally, nothing in this Article 13 shall oblige the Corporation to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Offered Units or shall relieve an Underwriter in default hereunder from liability to the Corporation.

ARTICLE 14- ADVERTISEMENTS AND PRESS RELEASES

14.1 The Corporation and the Underwriters each agree the Corporation will provide to the Underwriters, in advance, any press release concerning the Offerings and the Corporation will give effect to any changes reasonably and timely requested by the Underwriters. The Corporation will also ensure that any press release concerning the Offerings complies with Applicable Securities Law. At the request of the Underwriters, and to the extent permitted by Law, the Corporation will ensure that RCC is disclosed as the sole bookrunner and co-lead underwriter and that Red Cloud Securities Inc. is disclosed as co-lead underwriter for the Offerings in any press release relating to the Offerings.

14.2 At the completion of the Offerings, and to the extent permitted by Law, the Underwriters may, at their sole expense and upon consultation with the Corporation, place advertisements or announcements in any newspapers, periodicals or other publications, or otherwise disclose to third parties, that they acted as underwriters in connection with the Offerings (and as to each Underwriter's role).

ARTICLE 15- CONFLICT OF INTEREST

15.1 The Corporation: (i) acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have certain statutory obligations as registrants under the Applicable Securities Laws and have fiduciary relationships with their clients; and (ii) consents to the Underwriters acting hereunder while continuing to act for their respective clients. To the extent that any Underwriter's statutory obligations as registrant under the Applicable Securities Laws or fiduciary relationships with its clients conflict with its obligations hereunder, such Underwriter will be entitled to fulfil its statutory obligations as registrant under the Applicable Securities Laws and its fiduciary duties to its clients. Nothing in this Agreement will be interpreted to prevent the Underwriters from fulfilling their statutory obligations as registrant under the Applicable Securities Laws or to satisfy their fiduciary duties to their clients.

ARTICLE 16 - AUTHORITY OF RCC

16.1 All actions which must be taken or may be taken by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement may be taken by RCC on behalf of the other Underwriter and this is an irrevocable authority for the Corporation accepting notification of any such actions provided that, as between the Underwriters, RCC agrees to consult with the other Underwriter with respect to such actions.

ARTICLE 17- GENERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS

17.1 Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, including in Section 12.1, the covenants and agreements of the Corporation contained herein and in the Subscription Agreements which by their nature are required to be completed after the Time of Closing will survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Offered Units and will continue in full force and effect, regardless of the closing of the sale of the Offered Units and regardless

  2. Except with respect to sales of Offered Units offered by the Underwriters, the U.S. Placement Agent(s) or any members of the Selling Group (as to whom the Corporation makes no representation, warranty or covenant), in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and similar exemptions under applicable U.S. state securities laws, none of the Corporation, any of its affiliates, or any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Underwriters, any U.S. Placement Agent, other members of the Selling Group, their respective affiliates or any person acting on any of their behalf, in respect of which no representation, warranty or covenant is made), has made or will make: (A) any offer to sell, or any solicitation of an offer to buy, any Offered Units to, or for the account or benefit of, a person in the United States or a U.S. Person; or (B) any sale of Offered Units unless, at the time the buy order was or will, have been originated, (i) the Purchaser is outside the


United States and not a U.S. Person, or (ii) the Corporation, its affiliates, and any person acting on any of their behalf reasonably believe that the Purchaser is outside the United States and not a U.S. Person.

None of the Corporation, its affiliates or any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Underwriters, any U.S. Placement Agent, other members of the Selling Group, their respective affiliates or any person acting on any of their behalf, in respect of which no representation, warranty or covenant is made) (i) has made or will make any Directed Selling Efforts, or (ii) has engaged or will engage in any form of General Solicitation or General Advertising or has acted or will act in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act with respect to offers and sales of the Offered Units to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or U.S. Persons.

  4. The Corporation has not taken and will not take any action that would cause the exclusion from registration provided by Rule 903 of Regulation S to be unavailable with respect to offers and sales of the Offered Units outside the United States to non-U.S. Persons, or the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D to be unavailable with respect to offers and sales of the Offered Units to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States and U.S. Persons, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including this Schedule "D".

  5. With respect to the Offered Units to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (the "Regulation D Securities"), none of the Corporation, any of its predecessors, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Corporation participating in the offering, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Corporation's outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) connected with the Corporation in any capacity at the time of sale (but excluding the Underwriters, any U.S. Placement Agent, other members of the Selling Group and their respective affiliates or any person acting on any of their behalf, as to whom the Corporation makes no representation, warranty or covenant) (each, an "Issuer Covered Person" and, together, "Issuer Covered Persons") is subject to any of the "Bad Actor" disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the U.S. Securities Act (a "Disqualification Event").

  2. None of the Corporation, any of its affiliates or any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Underwriters, any U.S. Placement Agent, other members of the Selling Group, their respective affiliates or any person acting on any of their behalf in respect of which no representation, warranty or covenant is made) has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action in violation of Regulation M under the U.S. Exchange Act in connection with the offer or sale of the Offered Units.

  3. None of the Corporation or any of its predecessors or affiliates has been subject to any order, judgment, or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction temporarily, preliminary or permanently enjoining such person for failure to comply with Rule 503 under Regulation D.

  4. None of the Corporation or any of its predecessors or subsidiaries has had the registration of a class of securities under the U.S. Exchange Act revoked by the SEC pursuant to Section 12(j) of the U.S. Exchange Act and any rules or regulations promulgated under the U.S. Exchange Act.

B. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Underwriters

The Underwriters acknowledge that the Offered Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exclusion or exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws.
