(vii)

such registration is effected in accordance with the internal procedures of the Depository and the Warrant Agent,

following which, Warrants for those holders requesting the same shall be registered and issued to the beneficial owners of such Warrants or their nominees as directed by the holder.

(c)

Every Warrant that is Authenticated upon registration or transfer of a CDS Global Warrant, or in exchange for or in lieu of a CDS Global Warrant or any portion thereof, shall be Authenticated in the form of, and shall be, a CDS Global Warrant, unless such Warrant is registered in the name of a person other than the Depository for such CDS Global Warrant or a nominee thereof.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the CDS Global Warrant will be issued as an Uncertificated Warrant, unless otherwise requested in writing by the Depository or the Company.

(e)

The rights of beneficial owners of Warrants who hold securities entitlements in respect of the Warrants through the book entry registration system shall be limited to those established by applicable law and agreements between the Depository and the Book Entry Only Participants and between such Book Entry Only Participants and the beneficial owners of Warrants who hold securities entitlements in respect of the Warrants through the book entry registration system, and such rights must be exercised through a Book Entry Only Participant in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for:

(ii)

maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depository or any Book Entry Only Participant relating to any such interest; or

(g)

The Company may terminate the application of this Section in its sole discretion in which case all Warrants shall be evidenced by Warrant Certificates registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository.

2.4

Warrant Certificate

(a)

For Warrants issued in certificated form, the form of certificate representing Warrants shall be substantially as set out in Schedule “A” hereto or such other form as is authorized from time to time by the Warrant Agent. Each Warrant Certificate shall be Authenticated manually on behalf of the Warrant Agent. Each Warrant Certificate shall be signed by any at least one duly authorized signatory of the Company; whose signature shall appear on the Warrant Certificate and may be printed, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced thereon and, in such event, certificates so signed are as valid and binding upon the Company as if it had been signed manually. Any Warrant Certificate which has two signatures as hereinbefore provided shall be valid notwithstanding that one or more of the persons whose signature is printed, lithographed or mechanically reproduced no longer holds office at the date of issuance of such certificate. The Warrant Certificates may be engraved, printed or lithographed, or partly in one form and partly in another, as the Warrant Agent may determine.

(b)

The Warrant Agent shall Authenticate Uncertificated Warrants (whether upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer, partial payment, or otherwise) by completing its Internal Procedures and the Company shall, and hereby acknowledges that it shall, thereupon be deemed to have duly and validly issued such Uncertificated Warrants under this Indenture.  Such Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that such Uncertificated Warrant has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder or holders are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.  The register shall be final and conclusive evidence as to all matters relating to Uncertificated Warrants with respect to which this Indenture requires the Warrant Agent to maintain records or accounts.  In case of differences between the register at any time and any other time the register at the later time shall be controlling, absent manifest error and such Uncertificated Warrants are binding on the Company.

(c)

No Warrant shall be considered issued and shall be valid or obligatory or shall entitle the holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been Authenticated by the Warrant Agent. Authentication by the Warrant Agent, including by way of entry on the register,  shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Warrant Agent as to the validity of this Indenture or of such Warrant Certificates or Uncertificated Warrants (except the due Authentication thereof) or as to the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Indenture and the Warrant Agent shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Warrants or any of them or of the consideration thereof. Authentication by the Warrant Agent shall be conclusive evidence as against the Company that the Warrants so Authenticated have been duly issued hereunder and that the holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(d)

No Warrant Certificate shall be considered issued and Authenticated or, if Authenticated, shall be obligatory or shall entitle the holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been Authenticated by manual signature by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent. Such Authentication on any such Warrant Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that such Warrant Certificate is duly Authenticated and is valid and a binding obligation of the Company and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(e)

No Uncertificated Warrant shall be considered issued and shall be obligatory or shall entitle the holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been Authenticated by entry on the register of the particulars of the Uncertificated Warrant. Such entry on the register of the particulars of an Uncertificated Warrant shall be conclusive evidence that such Uncertificated Warrant is a valid and binding obligation of the Company and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(f)

Each CDS Global Warrant originally issued in Canada and held by the Depository, and each CDS Global Warrant issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof shall bear or be deemed to bear the following legend or such variations thereof as the Company may prescribe from time to time:

“UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS CLEARING AND DEPOSITORY SERVICES INC. (“CDS”) TO ESPERANZA RESOURCES CORP. (THE “ISSUER”) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS, OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS, HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE.”

2.5

Transferability and Ownership of Warrants

(a)

The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent as registrar of the Warrants and shall cause the Warrant Agent to keep at its Vancouver office set forth in Section 1.1 a register in which the Warrant Agent shall enter the names and addresses of the Warrantholders and other particulars, prescribed by law, of the Warrants held by them, together with a record of transfers in which particulars of all transfers of Warrants will be recorded.  The Warrant Agent shall cause the register to be open at all reasonable times for inspection by the Company, the Agents and any Warrantholder.

(b)

The Warrant Certificates may only be transferred by the Warrantholder (or its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed), in accordance with applicable laws and upon compliance with the conditions herein, on the register kept at the office of the Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(a) by delivering to the Warrant Agent’s Vancouver office a duly executed Form of Transfer attached as Appendix 2 to the Warrant Certificate and complying with such other reasonable requirements as the Company and the Warrant Agent may prescribe and such transfer shall be duly noted on the register by the Warrant Agent. In the case of Uncertificated Warrants the Warrants may only be transferred, in accordance with the procedures of the Depository under the Book-Entry Only System.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture, in the Warrant Certificate or in any subscription agreements under which Special Warrants were issued and sold, the Warrant Agent, relying solely on the Form of Transfer or such other reasonable requirements as the Company and Warrant Agent may prescribe pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or this Section shall not register any transfer of a Warrant unless the transfer is made in compliance with this Section or the Warrant is transferred outside the United States to a non-U.S. Person.

(d)

Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate bearing the legend set forth in Section 5.7(a) and/or (b) hereof, or any of the underlying Warrant Shares, may only be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (i) to the Company, (ii) outside the United States in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations, (iii) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the 1933 Act and is available for resale of the Warrants or the underlying Warrant Shares, or (iv) in compliance with any other exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, including Rule 144 thereunder, if available, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.  The Warrant Agent understands and agrees that in the event of a transfer pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) or clause (iv), the Company may require a legal opinion of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such transfer is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws.

(e)

If a Warrant Certificate not bearing the legend set forth in Section 5.7(a) and/or (b) hereof is tendered for transfer, the Warrant Agent shall not register such transfer if the Company has provided written instructions to the Warrant Agent prior to such exercise to the effect that the Company believes such exercise would not comply with the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws.

(f)

The Company shall direct the Warrant Agent as to matters related to the applicable hold periods and applicable securities legislation.  The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to ensure or verify compliance with any applicable laws or regulatory requirements on the issue, exercise or transfer of any Warrants or any Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise of any Warrants.  The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to process all proffered transfers and exercises of Warrants upon the presumption that such transfers or exercises are permissible pursuant to all applicable laws and regulatory requirements and the terms of this Indenture.  The Warrant Agent may assume for the purposes of this Indenture that the address on the register of Warrantholders of any Warrantholder is the Warrantholder’s actual address and is also determinative of the Warrantholder’s residency and that the address of any transferee to whom any Warrants or any Warrant Shares are to be registered, as shown on the transfer document, is the transferee’s actual address and is also determinative of the transferee’s residency.

(g)

Upon any transfer of Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall covenant and agree with the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the transferee holder and with the transferee holder, that the transferee holder is a permitted assignee of the transferring holder and is entitled to the benefits of the covenant of the Company set fourth in Section 3.16 herein and to be set forth under the heading “Contractual Right of Rescission” in the Prospectus subject, in each case, to the restrictions and limitations described thereunder.  Should a holder of Warrants exercise any legal, statutory, contractual or other right of withdrawal or rescission that may be available to it, the Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for ensuring the Warrants or the exercise of Warrants is cancelled and a refund of the holder’s funds is paid back to the holder. In such cases, the holder shall seek a refund directly from the Company and subsequently, the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent in writing, to cancel the Warrants or exercise transaction and any underlying shares on the register, which may have already been issued upon the Warrant exercise.

(h)

A person who furnishes evidence that he is, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Warrant Agent:

(i)

the executor, administrator, heir or legal representative of the heirs of the estate of a deceased Warrantholder;

(ii)

a guardian, committee, trustee, curator or tutor representing a Warrantholder who is an infant, an incompetent person or a missing person; or

(iii)

a liquidator or, a trustee in bankruptcy for, a Warrantholder,

may, as hereinafter stated, by surrendering such evidence together with the Warrant Certificate in question to the Warrant Agent (by delivery or mail as set forth in Section 9.1 hereof), and subject to such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe and all applicable securities legislation and requirements of regulatory authorities, become noted upon the register of Warrantholders.  After receiving the surrendered Warrant Certificate and upon the person surrendering the Warrant Certificate meeting the requirements as hereinbefore set forth, the Warrant Agent shall forthwith give written notice thereof together with confirmation as to the identity of the person entitled to become the holder to the Company.  Forthwith after receiving written notice from the Warrant Agent as aforesaid, the Company shall cause a new Warrant Certificate to be issued and sent to the new holder and the Warrant Agent shall alter the register of holders accordingly.

(i)

The Company and the Warrant Agent shall deem and treat the registered holder of any Warrant as the absolute legal and beneficial owner thereof for all purposes, free from all equities or rights of set off or counterclaim between the Company and any previous holder of such Warrant, save in respect of equities of which the Company is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent is affected by any notice to the contrary.

(j)

Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, each Warrantholder is entitled to the rights and privileges attaching to the Warrants, and the issue of the Warrant Shares by the Company on exercise of Warrants by any Warrantholder in accordance with the terms and conditions herein contained discharges all responsibilities of the Company and the Warrant Agent with respect to such Warrants and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent is bound to inquire into the title of any such registered holder.

(k)

A reasonable charge will be levied on a presenter of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Indenture for the transfer of any Warrant.

(l)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, in connection with any transfer of Warrants, the transferor and transferee shall comply with all reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent as the Warrant Agent may deem necessary to secure the obligations of the transferee of such Warrants with respect to such transfer.

2.6

Warrantholders Not Shareholders

A Warrantholder is not deemed or regarded as a shareholder of the Company nor is such Warrantholder entitled to any right or interest except as is expressly provided in this Indenture and in the Warrant Certificates.

2.7

Signing of Warrants

Any one director or officer of the Company shall sign the Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature.  A facsimile signature upon any Warrant Certificate is, for all purposes hereof, deemed to be the signature of the person whose signature it purports to be and to have been signed at the time such facsimile signature is reproduced.  If a person whose signature, either manually or in facsimile, appears on a Warrant Certificate is not a director or officer of the Company at the date of this Indenture or at the date of the countersigning and delivery of such Warrant Certificate, such fact does not affect in any way the validity of the Warrants or the entitlement of the Warrantholder to the benefits of this Indenture or of the Warrant Certificate.

2.8

Countersigning

The Warrant Agent shall countersign the Warrant Certificates upon the written direction of the Company.  No Warrant Certificate shall be issued, or if issued, is valid or exercisable or entitles the holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture until the Warrant Certificate has been manually countersigned by the Warrant Agent.  The countersignature by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent will be conclusive evidence as against the Company that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefit hereof.  The countersignature by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent on any Warrant Certificate is not to be construed as a representation or warranty by the Warrant Agent as to the validity of this Indenture or of the Warrants or as to the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Indenture and the Warrant Agent is in no way liable or answerable for the use made of the Warrants or the proceeds from the issuance thereof, except as specified by this Indenture.  The countersignature by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent is, however, a representation and warranty of the Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been duly countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

2.9

Loss, Mutilation, Destruction or Theft of Warrants

In case any of the Warrant Certificates issued and countersigned hereunder is mutilated or lost, destroyed or stolen, the Company, in its discretion, may issue and thereupon the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like date and tenor in exchange for and in place of the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen and upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Warrant Certificate or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Warrant Certificate and the substituted Warrant Certificate entitles the holder thereof to the benefits hereof and ranks equally in accordance with its terms with all other Warrants issued hereunder.

The Warrantholder applying for the issue of a new Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section shall bear the cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss, destruction or theft shall, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, furnish to the Company and the Warrant Agent such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Warrant Certificate so lost, destroyed or stolen as is satisfactory to the Company in their discretion.  The Company and the Warrant Agent may also, as a condition precedent to issuing a new Warrant Certificate, require such applicant to furnish an indemnity and surety bond in amount and form satisfactory to the Company and Warrant Agent in their discretion, and the applicant shall pay the reasonable charges of the Company and the Warrant Agent in connection therewith.

2.10

Exchange of Warrants

A Warrantholder may at any time prior to the Expiry Time, by written instruction delivered to the Warrant Agent at the office of the Warrant Agent set forth in Section 1.1, exchange his Warrant Certificates for Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants in other denominations entitling the Warrantholder to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares to which it was entitled to acquire under the Warrant Certificates so surrendered, in which case the Warrant Agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any government fees or charges required to be paid and such reasonable fees as the Warrant Agent may determine for every Warrant Certificate issued upon exchange.  The Warrantholder surrendering such Warrant Certificate shall bear such fee and charge.  Payment of the charges is a condition precedent to the exchange of the Warrant Certificate.  The Company shall sign and the Warrant Agent shall countersign all Warrant Certificates necessary to carry out exchanges as aforesaid.

2.11

Ranking

All Warrants will have the same attributes and rank pari passu regardless of the date of actual issue.

2.12

Purchase of Warrants for Cancellation

Subject to applicable law, the Company may, at any time or from time to time, purchase all or any of the Warrants in the market, by private contract or otherwise, on such terms as the Company may determine.  Any such purchase shall be made at the lowest price or prices at which, in the opinion of the directors, such Warrants are then obtainable plus reasonable costs of purchase .  The Warrant Certificates representing the Warrants purchased hereunder by the Company shall immediately following purchase, be delivered to and cancelled by the Warrant Agent and no Warrants shall be issued in substitution therefor.

3.

The Company covenants with the Warrant Agent for the benefit of the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders that, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, it will not:

(a)

pay any dividend payable in shares of any class to the holders of its Common Shares or make any other distribution (other than a cash distribution made as a dividend out of retained earnings or contributed surplus legally available for the payment of dividends) to the holders of its Common Shares;

(b)

offer to the holders of its Common Shares rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Common Shares or shares of any class or any other securities, rights, warrants or options;

4.

ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES

4.1

Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares

The rights to acquire Warrant Shares in effect at any date attaching to the Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a)

if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Company:

(i)

subdivides, re-divides or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

(ii)

consolidates, reduces or combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or

(iii)

issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible to Common Shares (“convertible securities”) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend (other than the issue of Common Shares or convertible securities to such holders as Dividends paid in the Ordinary Course);

(any of the above being a “Common Share Reorganization”), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted immediately after the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization or on the record date for the issue of Common Shares or convertible securities by way of stock dividend, by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares previously obtainable on the exercise of a Warrant by the fraction of which:

(A)

the numerator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization, or, in the case of the issuance of exchangeable or convertible securities, the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization plus the total number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities; and

(B)

the denominator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the applicable effective or record date of such Common Share Reorganization;

and the Company and Warrant Agent, upon receipt of notice pursuant to Section 4.3, shall make such adjustment successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.1(a) occurs and any such issue of Common Shares or convertible securities by way of a stock dividend is deemed to have occurred on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Section 4.1(a). To the extent that any convertible securities are not converted into or exchanged for Common Shares, prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Warrant Shares obtainable under each Warrant shall be readjusted to the number of Warrant Shares that is then obtainable based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued on conversion or exchange of such convertible securities;

(b)

if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time the Company shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (“Rights Period”), to subscribe for or acquire Common Shares at a price per share to the holder of less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a number determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise thereof immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:

(i)

the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering; and

(ii)

the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of:

(A)

the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering, and

(B)

a number determined by dividing (1) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed during the Rights Period upon the exercise of the rights, warrants, or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered by (2) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering;

(c)

if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time the Company shall issue or distribute to all or to substantially all of the holders of the Common Shares:

(i)

securities of the Company including rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or exchangeable into any such shares or property or assets and including evidence of its indebtedness; or

(ii)

any property (including cash) or other assets,

and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute Dividends paid in the Ordinary Course, a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of affected Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a number determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise thereof in effect on such record date by a fraction:

(iii)

the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and

(iv)

the denominator of which shall be:

(A)

the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, less

(B)

the fair market value on such record date, as determined by action by the directors (whose determination shall be conclusive), to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution;

(d)

if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a change in the Common Shares into other shares or securities, or a capital reorganization of the Company other than as described in Section 4.1(a) or the triggering of a shareholders’ rights plan or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a transfer, sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any of such events being referred to as a “Capital Reorganization”, every Warrantholder who has not exercised its right of acquisition, as at the effective date of such Capital Reorganization is entitled to receive upon exercise in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares obtainable under the Warrants to which it was previously entitled, the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities or property of the Company that the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive on such Capital Reorganization, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise of Warrants then held, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions of the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Section 4.1.  The Company shall not carry into effect any action requiring an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1(d) unless all necessary steps have been taken so that the Warrantholders are thereafter entitled to receive such kind and number of Warrant Shares, other securities or property.  The Company will not enter into a Capital Reorganization unless its successor, or the purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, prior to or contemporaneously with any such Capital Reorganization, enters into an indenture which provides, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Indenture are correspondingly made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Warrantholder is entitled on the exercise of his acquisition rights thereafter.  An indenture entered into by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1(d)  is deemed a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 7.  An indenture entered into between the Company, any successor to the Company or any purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Warrant Agent must provide for adjustments which are as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 4.1 and which apply to successive Capital Reorganizations;

(e)

where this Section 4.1 requires that an adjustment becomes effective immediately after a record date or effective date, as the case may be, for an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of that event, issuing to the Warrantholder exercising his acquisition rights after the record date or effective date, as the case may be and before the occurrence of that event the adjusted number of Warrant Shares, other securities or property issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants by reason of the adjustment required by that event. If the Company relies on this Section 4.1(e) to defer issuing an adjusted number of Warrant Shares, other securities or property to a Warrantholder, the Warrantholder has the right to receive any distributions made on the adjusted number of Warrant Shares, other securities or property declared in favour of holders of record on and after the date of exercise or such later date as the Warrantholder would but for the provisions of this Section , have become the holder of record of the adjusted number of Warrant Shares, other securities or property;

(f)

the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.1 are cumulative.  After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1, the term “Warrant Shares” where used in this Indenture is interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section, the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of his Warrant, and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable in any exercise made pursuant to a Warrant is interpreted to mean the number of Warrant Shares or other property or securities a Warrantholder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.1, upon the full exercise of a Warrant;

(g)

notwithstanding anything in this Article 4, no adjustment shall be made in the acquisition rights attached to the Warrants if the issue of Common Shares is being made pursuant to any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Company;

(h)

in the event of a question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.1, that question shall be conclusively determined by the Company’s auditors who shall have access to all necessary records of the Company, and a determination by the Company’s auditors is binding upon the Company, the Warrant Agent, all Warrantholders and all other persons interested therein; and

(i)

no adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in this Section 4.1, other than the events referred in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section (b) thereof, if the Warrantholders are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Warrantholders had exercised their Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.

4.2

Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which requires an adjustment in any of the acquisition rights pursuant to the Warrants, including the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise thereof, the Company shall take any corporate action which may in its opinion be necessary in order that the Company or any successor to the Company has unissued and reserved Common Shares in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Warrant Shares and may validly and legally deliver all other securities or property which the Warrantholders are entitled to receive on the full exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions hereof.

4.3

Certificate of Adjustment

The Company shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment as provided in Section 4.1, deliver a notice to the Warrantholders and the Warrant Agent specifying the nature of the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby, and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based.

4.4

No Action After Notice

The Company covenants with the Warrant Agent that it will not close its transfer books or take any other corporate action which might deprive the holder of a Warrant of the opportunity of exercising the Warrants during the period of 14 days after giving of the notice set forth in Section 4.3 hereof and 4.6 hereof.

4.5

Protection of Warrant Agent

The Warrant Agent:

(a)

is not at any time under any duty or responsibility to a Warrantholder to determine whether any facts exist which require any adjustment contemplated by Section 4.1, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same;

(b)

is not accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of the rights attaching to any Warrant;

(c)

is not responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the surrender of any Warrants for the purpose of the exercise of such rights or to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Article 4; and

(d)

shall not incur any liability or responsibility whatsoever or be in any way responsible for the consequence of any breach on the part of the Company of any of the representations, warranties or covenants herein contained or of any acts of the agents or servants of the Company.

4.6

Notice of Special Matters

The Company covenants with the Warrant Agent that so long as any Warrants remain outstanding it will give 14 days’ prior written notice in the manner provided for in Article 9 to the Warrant Agent, each Warrantholder and to the Agents of any event which requires an adjustment to the subscription rights attaching to any of the Warrants pursuant to this Article 4.  The Company covenants and agrees that such notice shall contain the particulars of such event in reasonable detail and, if determinable, the required adjustment in the manner provided for in Article 9.  The Company further covenants and agrees that it shall promptly, as soon as the adjustment calculations are reasonably determinable, file a certificate of the Company with the Warrant Agent showing how such adjustment shall be computed.

5.

EXERCISE AND CANCELLATION OF WARRANTS

5.1

Exercise of Warrants

(a)

Warrantholders who wish to exercise the Warrants, in the case of Warrant Certificates, held by them in order to acquire Warrant Shares must duly complete and execute exercise form(s) in the form attached as Appendix 1 to the Warrant Certificate(s) (the “Exercise Form”), in accordance with the instructions attached as Appendix 4 to the Warrant Certificate, which form may be amended by the Company with the consent of the Warrant Agent, if such amendment does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Company and the Warrant Agent, which may be based on the advice of counsel, materially and adversely affect the rights, entitlements and interests of the Warrantholders, and deliver such certificate(s), the executed Exercise Form and a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to or to the order of the Company for the aggregate Purchase Price to the Warrant Agent. The Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to be surrendered upon personal delivery of such certificate, Exercise Form and aggregate Purchase Price or, if such documents are sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent at the office referred to above.

(b)

Exercise is subject to compliance with and may be restricted by the securities laws of the Designated Provinces and the United States and applicable states thereof and is further subject to the Warrantholders providing such assurances and executing such documents as may, in the reasonable opinion of the Company or the Warrant Agent, be required to ensure compliance with applicable securities legislation.  If, at the time of the voluntary exercise of the Warrants pursuant to this Section 5.1, there remain restrictions on resale under applicable securities legislation on the Warrant Shares so acquired, the Company, may, if required on the advice of counsel, endorse the certificates representing the Warrant Shares with respect to those restrictions.

(c)

A beneficial holder of Uncertificated Warrants evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of Warrants in the book entry registration system who desires to exercise his or her Warrants must do so by causing a Book Entry Only Participant to deliver to the Depository on behalf of the entitlement holder, notice of the owner’s intention to exercise Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Depository. Forthwith upon receipt by the Depository of such notice, as well as payment for the aggregate Purchase Price , the Depository shall deliver to the Warrant Agent confirmation of its intention to exercise Warrants (as applicable, a “Confirmation”) in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the book entry registration system. A beneficial owner of Warrants issued in uncertificated form who desires to exercise his or her Warrants must do so by causing a Book Entry Only Participant to deliver to the Depository on behalf of the entitlement holder, notice of the owner’s intention to exercise Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Depository. Forthwith upon receipt by the Depository of such notice, as well as payment for the Purchase Price , the Depository shall deliver to the Warrant Agent confirmation of its intention to exercise Warrants (as applicable, a “Confirmation”) in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through a book based registration system, including CDSX.  An electronic exercise of the Warrants  initiated by the Book Entry Only Participant through a book based registration system, including CDSX, shall constitute a representation to both the Company and the Warrant Agent that the beneficial owner at the time of exercise of such Warrants (a) is not in the United States; (b) is not a U.S. Person and is not exercising such Warrants on behalf of a U.S. Person or a Person in the United States; and (c) did not execute or deliver the notice of the owner’s intention to exercise such Warrants in the United States.  If the Book Entry Only Participant  is not able to make or deliver the foregoing representation by initiating the electronic exercise of the Warrants, then such Warrants shall be withdrawn from the a book based registration system, including CDSX by the Book Entry Only Participant and an individually registered Warrant Certificate shall be issued by the Warrant Agent to such beneficial owner or Book Entry Only Participant  and the exercise procedures set forth in Section 5.1(d) shall be followed.

(d)

Payment representing the aggregate Purchase Price must be provided to the appropriate office of the Book Entry Only Participant in a manner acceptable to it. A notice in form acceptable to the Book Entry Only Participant and payment from such beneficial holder should be provided to the Book Entry Only Participant sufficiently in advance so as to permit the Book Entry Only Participant to deliver notice and payment to the Depository and for the Depository in turn to deliver notice and payment to the Warrant Agent prior to Expiry Time. The Depository will initiate the exercise by way of the Confirmation and forward the aggregate Purchase Price electronically to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to the Depository through the book entry registration system the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise.  Any expense associated with the exercise process will be for the account of the entitlement holder exercising the Warrants and/or the Book Entry Only Participant exercising the Warrants on its behalf.

(e)

By causing a Book Entry Only Participant to deliver notice to the Depository, a Warrantholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his or her Warrants so exercised and appointed such Book Entry Only Participant to act as his or her exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise and the receipt of Warrant Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such exercise.

(f)

Any notice which the Depository determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no effect and the exercise to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised thereby. A failure by a Book Entry Only Participant to exercise or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Warrantholder’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Company or Warrant Agent to the Book Entry Only Participant or the Warrantholder.

(g)

Any exercise form or Exercise Form referred to in this Section 5.1 shall be signed by the registered Warrantholder, or its executors or administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney of the Warrantholder, duly appointed by an instrument in writing satisfactory to the Warrant Agent but such exercise form need not be executed by the Depository.

(h)

Any exercise referred to in this Section 5.1 shall require that the entire Purchase Price for Warrant Shares subscribed must be paid at the time of subscription and such Purchase Price and original Exercise Form executed by the registered Warrantholder or the Confirmation from the Depository must be received by the Warrant Agent prior to the Expiry Time.

(i)

Warrants may only be exercised pursuant to this Section 5.1 by or on behalf of a registered Warrantholder, as applicable, who makes the certifications set forth on the Exercise Form.

(j)

If the form of Exercise Form set forth in the Warrant Certificate shall have been amended, the Company shall cause the amended Exercise Form to be forwarded to all Warrantholders.

(k)

Exercise Forms and Confirmations must be delivered to the Warrant Agent at any time during the Warrant Agent’s actual business hours on any Business Day prior to the Expiry Time. Any Exercise Form or Confirmation received by the Warrant Agent after business hours on any Business Day other than the Expiry Date will be deemed to have been received by the Warrant Agent on the next following Business Day.

(l)

Any Warrant with respect to which a Confirmation is not received by the Warrant Agent before the Expiry Time  shall be deemed to have expired and become void and all rights with respect to such Warrants shall terminate and be cancelled.

(m)

Within five Business Days after the date of due exercise of a Warrant, the Warrant Agent shall cause to be delivered or mailed to the person or persons in whose name or names the Warrant is registered or, if so specified in writing by the holder, cause to be delivered to such person or persons a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares subscribed for, or any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Warrant Shares to such person or persons in respect of Warrant Shares issued under the book entry  registration system.

5.2

Effect of Exercise of Warrants

Upon the exercise of the Warrants, each Warrantholder is, at that time, deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrantholder’s Warrants are exercised or are deemed to have been exercised, unless the transfer registers of the Company shall be closed by law on such date, in which case the Warrant Shares acquired shall be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Warrant Shares on the date on which such transfer registers are next reopened.

5.3

Partial Exercise

Any Warrantholder may acquire a number of Warrant Shares less than the number of Warrant Shares which the holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate(s).  In the event of any exercise of a number of Warrants less than the number which the holder is entitled to exercise pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificates, the Warrantholder upon such exercise shall, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares acquired pursuant to the Warrants exercised, be entitled to receive, without charge therefor, a new Warrant Certificate(s) in respect of the balance of the Warrants represented by the surrendered Warrant Certificate(s) and which were not then exercised.

5.4

Warrants Void After Exercise Time

After the exercise of a Warrant as provided in this Section, the holder of a Warrant Certificate representing the Warrant so exercised no longer has any rights either under this Indenture or the Warrant Certificate, other than, the right to receive certificates representing the Warrant Shares, and the Warrant is void and of no value or effect.

5.5

Fractions of Warrant Shares

(a)

Where a Warrantholder is entitled to receive, as a result of the adjustments provided for in Section 4.1 or otherwise, on the exercise or partial exercise of its Warrants a fraction of a Warrant Share, such right may only be exercised in respect of such fraction in combination with another Warrant or other Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Warrantholder to receive a whole number of Warrant Shares; and

(b)

If a Warrantholder is not able to, or elects not to, combine Warrants so as to be entitled to acquire a whole number of Warrant Shares, the Warrantholder may not exercise the right to acquire a fractional Warrant Share, and, as a result, has the right to acquire only that number of Warrant Shares equal to the next lowest whole number of Warrant Shares and no cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional Warrant Shares.

5.6

Accounting and Recording

The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company with respect to Warrants exercised.  The Warrant Agent shall record the particulars of the Warrants exercised which include the name or names and addresses of the persons who become holders of Warrant Shares on exercise pursuant to this Article 5 and the number of Warrant Shares issued.  Within three Business Days of the exercise of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5.1, the Warrant Agent shall provide those particulars in writing to the Company.

5.7

CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT

8.1

Duties of Warrant Agent

By way of supplement to the provisions of any statute for the time being relating to trustees, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, in the exercise of the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Warrant Agent shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Warrantholders and shall exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Warrant Agent from, or require any other person to indemnify the Warrant Agent against any liability for its own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

8.2

Action by Warrant Agent

The Warrant Agent is not obligated to do any act or thing except where required to do so by this Indenture and, in the case of a default, only when it has actual notice thereof.

8.3

Certificate of the Company

If in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture, the Warrant Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established by the Company, prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, the Warrant Agent may accept and rely on a certificate of the Company as conclusive evidence of the truth of any fact relating to the Company or its assets therein stated and proof of the regularity of any proceedings or actions associated therewith, but the Warrant Agent may in its discretion require further evidence or information before acting or relying on any such certificate.

8.4

Warrant Agent May Employ Experts

The Warrant Agent may, at the Company’s expense, employ or retain such lawyers, accountants, engineers, appraisers or other experts, advisers or agents as it may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties hereunder and may pay reasonable remuneration for such services rendered to it but it is not responsible for any misconduct, mistake or error of judgment on the part of any of them.  The Company shall reimburse the Warrant Agent for all disbursements, costs and expenses made or incurred by the Warrant Agent in the discharge of its duties and in the management of the trusts hereunder.  The Warrant Agent may rely upon and act upon the opinion or advice of, or information obtained from, any such lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other expert, adviser or agent in relation to any matter arising in the administration of the trusts hereof.  The Warrant Agent shall not incur any liability for the acts or omissions of such lawyers, accountants, engineers, appraisers or other experts, advisers or agents employed by the Warrant Agent in good faith.

The Warrant Agent may resign its trust and be discharged from all further obligations hereunder by giving to the Company and the Warrantholders written notice at least 60 days or such shorter time period if acceptable to the Warrant Agent, the Company and the Warrantholders, before the effective date of the resignation.  If the Warrant Agent resigns, or becomes incapable of acting hereunder, the Company shall forthwith appoint in writing a new agent.  Failing such appointment by the Company or by the Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution, the retiring Warrant Agent or any Warrantholder may apply to a Judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia on such notice as such Judge may direct, for the appointment of a new agent.  The Warrantholders may, by Extraordinary Resolution, remove the Warrant Agent (including an agent appointed by the Company or by a Judge as aforesaid) and appoint a new agent.  On any new appointment, the new agent is vested with the same powers, rights, duties and obligations as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed.  If for any reason it becomes necessary or expedient to execute any further deed or assurance, the former Warrant Agent shall execute the same in favour of the new agent.

Notice

The Warrant Agent is not required to give notice to third parties, including the Warrantholders, of the execution of this Indenture.

8.8

No Inquiries

In the exercise of any right or duty hereunder the Warrant Agent, if it is acting in good faith, may act and rely, as to the truth of any statement or the accuracy of any opinion expressed therein, on any statutory declaration, opinion, report, certificate or other evidence furnished to the Warrant Agent pursuant to a provision hereof or of Applicable Legislation or pursuant to a request of the Warrant Agent, if such evidence complies with Applicable Legislation and the Warrant Agent examines such evidence and determines that it complies with the applicable requirements of this Indenture.  The Warrant Agent may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable.  The Warrant Agent is not bound to make any inquiry or investigation as to the performance by the Company of the Company’s covenants hereunder.

8.11

No Conflict of Interest

8.12

Warrant Agent Not Ordinarily Bound

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Warrant Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless it is so indemnified and funded.  The obligation of the Warrant Agent to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing any rights of the Warrantholders hereunder, is conditional upon Warrantholders furnishing, when required in writing so to do by the Warrant Agent, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, and funds sufficient for commencing or continuing the act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent to protect and hold harmless the Warrant Agent against any loss, damage or liability by reason thereof.

8.13

Warrant Agent May Deal in Instruments

The Warrant Agent may in its personal or other capacity, buy, sell, lend upon and deal in and hold securities of the Company and generally contract and enter into financial transactions with the Company or otherwise, without being liable to account for any profits made thereby.

8.14

Recitals or Statements of Fact Made by Company

Except for the representations contained in Sections 8.11 and 8.18 subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrant Agent is not liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Indenture or in the Warrant Certificates and is not required to verify the same but all such statements and recitals are and are deemed to have been made by the Company only.

8.15

Warrant Agent’s Discretion Absolute

No Representations as to Validity

(a)

under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Indenture or the execution and delivery thereof or (subject to Section 2.4(a) and 2.8 hereof) in respect of the validity or the execution of any Warrant Certificate;

(b)

responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Indenture or in any Warrant Certificate; or

by any act hereunder, deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any securities to be issued as provided in this Indenture or in any Warrant Certificate or as to whether any shares will when issued be duly authorized or be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.  The duty and responsibility as to all the matters and things referred to in this Section 8.16 rests upon the Company and not upon the Warrant Agent and the failure of the Company to discharge any such duty and responsibility does not in any way render the Warrant Agent liable or place upon it any duty or responsibility for breach of which it would be liable.

8.17

Acceptance of Trusts

The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the trusts of this Indenture and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth or referred to unless and until discharged therefrom by resignation or in some other lawful way.

8.19

Indemnification of Warrant Agent

Without limiting any protection or indemnity of the Warrant Agent under any other provision hereof, or otherwise at law, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Warrant Agent from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable legal or advisor fees and disbursements, of whatever kind and nature which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Warrant Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and other disbursements arising by reason of the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud of the Warrant Agent.  This provision shall survive the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent, or the termination of this Indenture.  The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to prosecute or to defend any action or suit in respect of the relationship which, in the opinion of its counsel, may involve it in expense or liability, unless the Company shall, so often as required, furnish the Warrant Agent with satisfactory indemnity and funding against such expense or liability.

8.20

Performance of Covenants by Warrant Agent

If the Company fails to perform any of its covenants contained in this Indenture, then the Company will notify the Warrant Agent in writing of such failure and upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of such notice, the Warrant Agent will notify the Warrantholders of such failure on the part of the Company and may itself perform any of the said covenants capable of being performed by it, but shall be under no obligation to perform said covenants or to notify the Warrantholders of such performance by it.  All sums expended or disbursed by the Warrant Agent in so doing shall be reimbursed as provided in Section 3.11 .  No such performance, expenditure or disbursement by the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to relieve the Company of any default hereunder or of its continuing obligations under the covenants herein contained.

8.21

Third Party Interests

8.22

Not Bound to Act

The Warrant Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline.  Further, should the Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Indenture has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on 10 days’ written notice to the Company, provided (i) that the Warrant Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Warrant Agent’s satisfaction within such 10-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

 WARRANTS entitling the holder to acquire one Common Share for each Warrant, subject to adjustment as set out below

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received,  (the Warrantholder) is the registered holder of the number of warrants (the “Warrants”) stated above and is entitled to acquire in the manner and at the time, and subject to the restrictions contained in the Indenture (as defined below), the number of common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Esperanza Resources Corp. (the “Company”) as is equal to the number of Warrants represented hereby (subject to adjustment as set out below and in the Indenture) at an exercise price of $1.80 until the Expiry Time (or as defined below).

The Warrants represented by this certificate are issued under and pursuant to a certain indenture (the “Indenture”) made as of May 24, 2012 between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Warrant Agent”) (which expression includes any successor agent appointed under the Indenture), to which Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights of the holders of the Warrants and the terms and conditions upon which such Warrants are, or are to be, issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture and all instruments supplemental thereto were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the holder of these Warrants by acceptance hereof assents.  All terms defined in the Indenture are used herein as so defined.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Indenture and the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, except those that are necessary by context, the provisions of the Indenture shall prevail.  The Company will furnish to the holder of this Warrant Certificate, upon request and without charge, a copy of the Indenture.

The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate are only exercisable on or prior to 4:59 p.m. ( Vancouver time) on May 24, 2017 (the “Expiry Time”).

The holder of this Warrant Certificate may, at any time before the Expiry Time, exercise all or any number of the Warrants represented hereby, by surrendering to the Warrant Agent a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates representing the number of Warrants to be exercised, together with the duly completed and executed exercise form attached as Appendix 1 hereto in accordance with the instructions contained in Appendix 4 attached hereto.  Any such exercise is subject to compliance with, and may be restricted by, Applicable Legislation.  If, at the time of the exercise of the Warrants, there remain restrictions on resale under Applicable Legislation on the Common Shares acquired, the Company may endorse the certificates representing the Common Shares acquired with respect to such resale restrictions.

The Common Shares in respect of which the Warrants are exercised will be deemed to have been issued on the date of such exercise, at which time each Warrantholder will be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Shares.

After the exercise of Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall within three Business Days of such exercise cause to be mailed or delivered to each Warrantholder at its address specified in the register for the Warrants maintained by the Warrant Agent, certificates for the appropriate number of Common Shares issuable in respect of such Warrants, not exceeding those which such Warrantholder is entitled to acquire pursuant to the Warrants so exercised.  If the holder of this Warrant Certificate exercises some but not all of the Warrants represented hereby, he or she will be entitled to receive, without charge, a new Warrant Certificate representing the unexercised number of the Warrants represented hereby.

The holder of this Warrant Certificate may at any time up to the Expiry Time, upon written instruction delivered to the Warrant Agent and payment of the charges provided for in the Indenture and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, exchange this Warrant Certificate for other Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants entitling the holder to acquire in the aggregate the same number of Common Shares as may be acquired under this Warrant Certificate.

The number of Common Shares which may be acquired by a Warrantholder upon exercise of Warrants, are also subject to and governed by Article 4 of the Indenture with respect to anti-dilution provisions, including provisions for the appropriate adjustment of the class, number and price of the securities issuable hereunder upon the occurrence of certain events including any subdivision, consolidation, or reclassification of the shares, payment of stock dividends, or amalgamation of the Company.

The holding of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate does not constitute the Warrantholder a shareholder of the Company or entitle such holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as herein and in the Indenture expressly provided.

The Warrants may only be transferred by the Warrantholder (or its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed) on the register kept at the office of the Warrant Agent, in accordance with applicable laws and upon compliance with the conditions set out in the Indenture, by delivering to the Warrant Agent’s Vancouver office a duly executed Form of Transfer attached as Appendix 2 hereto and complying with such other reasonable requirements as the Company and the Warrant Agent may prescribe and such transfer shall be duly noted on the register by the Warrant Agent.

The holder understands and acknowledges that the Warrants and the Common Shares issuable hereunder have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or under the securities laws of any state of the United States, and that Warrants originally issued in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a person in the United States or a U.S. person are, and any Common Shares issued upon exercise of such Warrants will be, “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the 1933 Act.  “United States” and “U.S. person” have the respective meanings assigned in Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the 1933 Act.

The holder understands that the Warrants represented hereby may not be exercised within the United States or by or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the United States, and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants may not be delivered within the United States, unless such Common Shares are registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of any state in which the holder is resident, or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

The holder understands that, until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws, certificates representing the Warrants and Common Shares which are “restricted securities”, and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, will bear a U.S. restrictive legend substantially in the form prescribed by section 5.7 of the Indenture; provided that if the Warrants or the Common Shares (provided the Company is a “foreign issuer” as defined in the Regulation S at the time such Common Shares are issued) are being sold outside the United States in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S, such legend may be removed by providing an executed declaration to the Warrant Agent or, with respect to Common Shares, the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, in substantially the form set forth as Appendix 3 attached to this Warrant Certificate (or in such other form as the Company may prescribe from time to time) and, if requested by the Company, the Warrant Agent or the transfer agent (as the case may be), an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Warrant Agent and the transfer agent (as applicable) to the effect that such sale is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S; and provided, further, that, if any Common Shares are being sold otherwise than in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S and other than to the Company, the legend may be removed by delivery to the Company and the transfer agent of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Warrant Agent and the transfer agent (as applicable), to the effect that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or state securities laws.

This Warrant Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein and shall be treated in all respects as a British Columbia contract.

After the exercise of any of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, the Warrantholder shall no longer have any rights under either the Indenture or this Warrant Certificate with respect to such Warrants, other than the right to receive certificates representing the Common Shares issuable on the exercise of those Warrants, and those Warrants shall be void and of no further value or effect.

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all Warrantholders resolutions passed at meetings of such holders in accordance with such provisions or by instruments in writing signed by the Warrantholders holding a specified percentage of the Warrants.

Time shall be of the essence hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be executed and the Warrant Agent has caused this Warrant Certificate to be countersigned by its duly authorized officers as of this ___ day of __________, 2012.
