This Contract sets out the terms and conditions upon which the Refiner shall
receive Dore bars from the Supplier for refining.

1.   Delivery of Dore bars

1.1  The Supplier shall notify the Refiner at least two Swiss working days in
     advance by telefax or e-mail of the delivery of the Dore bars to the
     Refiner's vault.

1.2  The notification of the Supplier pursuant to Subsection 1.1 shall set out:

     o    number of boxes/containers

     o    gross weight

     o    net weight

     o    detailed packing list

     o    Supplier's estimate of fineness of gold and silver contained in each
          Dore bar

     o    estimated value of the Shipment, the name of the carrier, the flight
          number and the estimated time of arrival at Zurich Kloten Airport

     o    the airway-bill number

     The Dore bars shall be packed in wooden boxes, steel containers or other
     packing suitable for the transportation by air and each box or container
     shall be sealed by the Supplier.

     The Supplier shall deliver the Shipment, at its own risk, to the Delivery
     point.

     The full risk in the Dore bars shall pass to the Refiner when it takes
     delivery of the Dore bars at the Delivery point. The Refiner will insure
     the Dore bars against the ordinary risks of storage (excluding strikes,
     riots, civil unrest and war) at the Refinery from the moment the risk
     passes to the Refiner.

     The quantity of fine gold to be delivered during the life - time of this
     Contract is estimated at 70,000 oz.

     A list of deleterious elements and the acceptable level of such elements in
     the Dore bars is attached as Annex 1.

2.   Refiner's liability for the Dore bars and credit to account

2.1  The moment the risk in the Dore bars passes to the Refiner, the Refiner
     assumes responsibility for the Dore bars, the Dore and the gold and silver
     contained therein, and will be liable to the Supplier for any loss of or
     damage to the Dore bars, the Dore and the gold and silver contained
     therein, whilst the Dore bars, the Dore and the gold and silver contained
     therein, are in the custody of the Refiner.

     The liability of the Refiner is limited, however, to the total value of a
     Shipment, reduced by any charges payable by the Supplier under Section 9
     for the amount of oz contained in the Shipment. The value of the Shipment
     shall be assessed in accordance with this Contract; in case of loss or
     damage prior to the Settlement weight and/or the Settlement assay having
     been determined, the gross weight and/or Supplier's estimate of fineness as
     notified by the Supplier to the Refiner pursuant to Subsection 1.1 shall be
     taken for the computation of the amount of loss or damage.



                                                                   ARGOR-HERAEUS

                                                                   Switzerland

2.2  The Refinery will have available the final assay results 5 working days
     after arrival of the Shipment at the Refinery. The assay results of the
     Refinery, as determined by the Refinery's Sworn Federal Assayers, shall be
     considered to be the agreed final assay.

2.3  The metal will be credited to the Unallocated Precious Metal account with
     the Refinery on the Business Day after the availability of the final
     assays. Should an assay exchange be requested the final settlement shall be
     effected on the first business day after the availability of the agreed
     final assays.

3.   REFINER

3.1  The Refiner will perform all duties to be performed by a refiner.

3.2  The Refiner and the Supplier shall communicate in respect of all matters
     relating to the refining process directly with each other.

4.   WEIGHING AND SAMPLING

4.1  If (i) a Shipment delivered to the Refiner at the Delivery point does not
     conform to the specifications notified by the Supplier to the Refiner
     pursuant to Subsection 1.2 or (ii) the boxes or containers are damaged or
     the seals are broken or damaged, the Refiner may refuse to accept delivery
     of that Shipment. The Refiner shall immediately inform the Supplier by
     telefax or electronic mail of the details of any such refusal.

4.2  Upon receipt of the Shipment at the Refinery the Refiner shall immediately
     inspect the boxes/containers and calculate the gross weight of the
     Shipment.

4.3  If upon inspection pursuant to Subsection 4.1 above any of the
     boxes/containers are damaged, or any of the seals on the boxes/containers
     are broken, or the total gross weight of the Shipment as calculated by the
     Refiner differs by more than +/-one percent (= +/- 1 %) from the gross
     weight notified by the Supplier to the Refiner pursuant to Subsection 1.1,
     the Refiner shall immediately inform the Supplier by telefax or electronic
     mail of the extent of the damage to the boxes/containers or to the seals,
     as the case may be, and/or the difference in the gross weight and request
     the approval of the Supplier to proceed with the weighing and the assay.
     Pending approval of the Supplier, the Shipment shall be safely stored in
     the vaults of the Refiner.

4.4  Where the Shipment arrives outwardly sound at the Refinery and with a total
     gross weight within the agreed tolerance of +/- one percent (=+/- 1 %), the
     Refiner shall confirm receipt and acceptance of the Shipment to the
     Supplier/Representative within one Swiss working day from its arrival at
     the Refinery.

     No later than on the second Swiss working day following arrival of the
     Shipment at the Refinery, the Refiner shall weigh the Dore bars and compare
     the net weights arrived at with the net weights notified by the Supplier to
     the Refiner pursuant to Subsection 1.1. The Refiner shall use an electronic
     balance having a tolerance of +/- 1 gram.

     In case of a difference of more than +/- 0.2 percent (two tenth of one
     percent)] between net weight of a Dore bar as calculated by the Refiner and
     the net weight notified by the Supplier pursuant to Subsection 1.1, the
     Refiner shall immediately inform the Supplier by telefax or electronic mail
     of such difference and request the



                                                                   ARGOR-HERAEUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                   Switzerland

     approval of the Supplier to proceed with the assay of such Dore bar(s)
     using the net weight arrived at by the Refiner. Pending approval of the
     Supplier, the disputed Dore bar(s) and the packing material of such Dore
     bar(s) shall be safely stored in the vaults of the Refiner.

     In case the net weight arrived at by the Refiner is within the agreed
     tolerance of +/- 0.2 percent [(+/- 0.2 %) the Refiner's weight shall apply.

4.5  The Supplier undertakes to inform the Refiner of the action chosen with
     respect to a Shipment or disputed Dore bars for which approval has been
     requested as soon as possible and the Refiner undertakes to act in
     accordance with the instructions received from the Supplier as soon as is
     practical.

4.6  For sampling the Refiner shall melt the Dore bars in electro induction
     furnaces in suitable melt lots, comprising only Dore bars from the Mine,
     and ranging from 300 oz to a maximum of 10,000 oz per melt in order to
     achieve a homogeneous melt. From this melt the Refiner shall collect a
     representative sample from the molten Dore prior to pouring - in the form
     of a button, or a sample bar or another suitable shape - by using the
     appropriate dip sampling device. The Refiner hereby agrees that there shall
     be a minimum of one melt produced for the Supplier.

4.7  The after melt weight of the Dore shall be determined by the Refiner by
     weighing on an electronic balance having a tolerance of +/- 0.1 gram the
     bars or anodes cast after the melt of the Dore bars for sampling. The after
     melt weight includes the weight of all samples.

4.8  From each dip-sample the Refiner shall take three quality samples of 5
     (five) grams each by collecting and mixing well the drillings, which are
     obtained from the dip-sample by means of a twist drill or another suitable
     method. The Refiner shall pack, seal and allocate the quality samples as
     follows:

     o    one sample shall be kept as reserve

     o    one sample shall be for the Refiner

     o    one sample shall be set aside by the Refiner for the Umpire, should
          the Umpire be needed.

     In case the sample taken as reserve is requested to be sent to the Mine or
     the Supplier its weight is to be deducted from the after melt weight when
     calculating the Settlement weight. No deduction from the after melt weight
     will be made for the sample taken for the Refiner and the sample set aside
     for the Umpire.

5.   REPRESENTATIVE

5.1  The Supplier shall have the right to appoint at its own expense a
     representative to supervise the weighing, melting and sampling operations.

     The Supplier shall inform the Refiner of the name, address, telephone
     number, telefax number and electronic mail address of the representative
     appointed and of the authority delegated to him no later than the date on
     which the Supplier notifies the Refiner pursuant to Subsection 1.1.



                                                                   ARGOR-HERAEUS

Annex 1

Deleterious elements in refining MATERIAL

In the following the most common impurities in refining material are specified
and limits are formulated below which the material is acceptable without
additional amounts being charged to the Supplier:

These limits are to be considered as indications and have to be re-evaluated
depending on the material and the process of refining it is destined for.


Class I:   Impurities, which are hazardous to personal and environment

           Element          acceptable levels
           Radioactive      none
           Mercury     Hg   none
           Arsenic     As   max. 100 ppm
           Cadmium     Cd   max. 100 ppm

Class II   Impurities, which can disturb the refining process and as well
           influence the environmental protection processes

           Element          acceptable levels
           Lead        Pb   max. 3 %0
           Tin         Sn   max. 3 %0
           Selenium    Se   max. 500 ppm
           Tellurium   Te   max. 500 ppm
           Bismuth     Bi   max. 100 ppm
           Antimony    Sb   max. 100 ppm

There are other elements, which may be present in refining material, that do not
have hazardous properties or disturb the processing significantly if present in
minor quantities, but may disturb severely the homogenisation and sampling due
to the fact that they produce a heavy segregation when the metal solidifies.

These elements in particular are:

                                     Iron Fe
                                    Nickel Ni
                                    Cobalt Co

This list is not representative for all material compositions and subject to
adjustment in case of necessity.

In case the Dore bars supplied by the Supplier contain impurities that are
deleterious to other persons or to the refining process, the Refiner shall have
the right to either

o    reject the Shipment; all expenses incurred by the Refiner in connection
     with the rejected Shipment being for the account of the Supplier, or

o    ask for additional payments from the Supplier in order to cover any
     additional cost the Refiner incurs in connection with such deleterious
     elements.



                                                                   ARGOR-HERAEUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                   Switzerland

ANNEX 2

PURCHASE AGREEMENT OF METALS

Upon request by Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company Ltd. ("Bong Mieu"), Argor-Heraeus
SA ("Argor") will purchase metals as follows:

     o    For Gold: at the AM - fixing of the London Bullion Market in US$ per
          troy ounce

     o    For Silver at the silver - fixing of the London Bullion Market in US$
          per troy ounce

Orders for London Gold fixing must be received by Argor at least 30 minutes
prior to the start of the AM fixing for gold as well as prior to the start of
London Silver fixing.

Pricing will be at the fixing rate, flat in US$.

After each fixing, Argor will inform Bong Mieu about execution and immediately
instruct to transfer proceeds to a Vietnamese bank account as per the
instructions given to Argor by Bong Mieu.

Until further notice, transfer of the proceeds should be directed to the
following account:

          DEUTSCHE BANK AG
          65 Le Loi Boulevar
          District 1, Ho Chi Minh City

          Account number: 1 00 9794- 00-1
          Account name: Bong Mieu Gold Mining Co., Ltd.

Argor guarantees that the transfer of proceeds will take place on the same day
of the purchase but do not take responsibility as to when the funds will be
credited to Bong Mieu's bank account.

Argor will deduct its costs from the proceeds of the metal sales in accordance
to the Refinery Contract. A detailed statement listing all items and prices will
be faxed by Argor to Bong Mieu as soon as the payment is effected.
