Under the Agreement, RMX has an exclusivity period of 6 weeks in order to conduct initial due diligence on the Mokabe Cobalt-Copper Project, including the tenure and technical due diligence.

Following the results of the initial due diligence RMX, solely at its election, has the option to proceed to earnin into the project by way of incurring expenditure on the Mokabe Cobalt-Copper Project as follows:

Phase Exploration Expenditure CoCu Interest RMX Interest
Commencement Date Nil 100% 0%
First Earn-In A$250,000 80% 20%
Second Earn-In A$250,000 65% 35%
Third Earn-In A$500,000 49% 51%
Fourth Earn-In A$1.5m 34% 66%
Fifth Earn-In A$3.0m 20% 80%1

1 Upon RMX earning an 80% interest in the Project, the joint venture will be a customary pro rata contributing arrangement, provided that CoCu has the right to put its remaining 20% interest to the Company for A$3.5m and a 1% NSR over the Project.

All expenditures incurred during the initial due diligence period shall count against the first earn-in phase requirement (should RMX elect to proceed). RMX is required to pay a $50,000 non-refundable fee on execution of the Term Sheet. In the event RMX elects to earn-in to the Project, subject to having available placement capacity, RMX has agreed to issue 7.5m fully paid ordinary shares to CoCu and advisors or their nominees upon execution of formal acquisition agreements.
