Commencement of Commercial Production, with respect to Minerals or Rock, as the case may be, means:

(a)

if a mill is located on the subject property, the last day of a period of forty (40) consecutive days in which, for not less than thirty (30) days, the mill processed Mineral or Rock from the Property at 60% of its rated capacity; or

(b)

if no Mill is located on the Property, the last day of the first period of thirty (30) consecutive days during which Mineral or Rock has been shipped from the Property on a reasonably regular basis for the purpose of earning revenues; or

(c)

with respect to Rock, following the 30th day of extraction for commercial use.

No period of time during which ore or concentrate is shipped from the Property for testing purposes or during which milling operations are undertaken as initial tune-up will be taken into account in determining the date of Commencement of Commercial Production.

Gross Rock Revenue means, for any period, the gross proceeds received by the Optionee in that period from the sale of Rock produced from the Property less any treatment, beneficiation or other changes or penalties deducted by the purchase to whom such Rock is shipped, less:

all costs of the Optionee associated with such sales involving handling, weighing, sampling, determination of water content, insuring, packaging and transporting Rock;

(b)

the costs of marketing, including rebates or allowances made or given; and

(c)

any sales, severance, gross production, privilege or similar taxes (other than income taxes or mining taxes based on income).

(ii)

in the case of the sale of Minerals that are ores that have not been processed in a Mill, the estimated cost that would have been incurred in crushing and beneficiating such Minerals in a Mill as agreed by the parties or otherwise determined by a competent mining or metallurgical engineer;

and

(b)

the sum of:

 

 

(i)

all amounts paid on account of Advance Royalty Payments;

 

 

(ii)

any insurance costs in connection with shipping such Minerals;

any costs of transport;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

all costs of the Optionee associated with such sales involving handling, weighing, sampling, determination of water content, insuring and packaging;
