# 1   Section 11, NE ¼ of Section 2, N (½) of Section 3, in Township 38, Range 10, West of the 3rd Meridian, as to the surface rights referenced in the Certificate of Title.   Ten-year lease dated April 26, 2017, automatically extended for second 10 years if royalties are being paid. Lease rate is $1 per acre per year. Royalty rate is $5.00 per ton of processed ore sold at $80 per metric ton or less, and $5.00 plus the 10% of the difference between sales price greater than $80 and $80 per metric ton.

 

Prior to acquisition, the leases were explored through extensive drilling operations. Unfortunately, the data provided by the previous exploration activities were not consistent with the methodology required for providing NI 53-101 guidance. Consequently, because no third party valuation could be provided through an economic evaluation of the mineral resources, the Company expensed as Impairment of mineral leases the total of $1,539,430. On May 27, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Northwest Corporation to undertake exploration activities and to prepare an economic evaluation through the preparation NI43-101 report on the mineral leases. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had expended approximately $113,934. As these expenditures were undertaken prior to the effective date of the transaction, they have not been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements.
