1.RECITALS  

Whereas C3Bullion, Inc. (“C3B”) is a Colorado Corporation operating as an alternative capital provider for mining companies with a focus on acquiring interests in near−production mining of precious and base mineral properties mainly in the Americas. C3B will provide secured capital to junior miners to enter streaming and royalty opportunities to secure physical assets for the duration of the mine’s life (typically over 10 years). 

Whereas, the Trinidad gold property (“Trinidad”) is located in the Region of La Libertad, Sanchez Carrión province, Sartimbamba district, Monserrate Parish, Quebrada Quilcha at 5 km between the communities of Conga and Santa Bárbara (Cota 2000 to 3800 m s n m Claim Trinidad) is located south of the Poderosa Mine and is located within the Belts Pataz Batholith Coastal Batholith Mesothermal Gold Belts.

-INFRASTRUCTURE LOW INVESTMENT Access road to the production site 

-STATE LANDOWNER Superficial rights in process 

-WATER Good water resources in the area 

-ELECTRICITY There is power to the production site 2 Km 

Whereas, the primary basis of this Agreement is for the Parties to determine a definitive purchase agreement with financing alternatives for Trinidad in which C3B can either directly provide the working capital needed to restart production at Trinidad, or indirectly through C3B’s network of financial funding institutions or affiliates (the “Transaction”).  

Whereas, in order to formalize the above, the Parties may enter into negotiations with respect to the formation of a special purpose vehicle to secure financing for Trinidad and completion of the Transaction. The purpose of this Transaction is for working capital to restart production at Trinidad with an eventual line of credit to expand production through exploration initiatives.   

Whereas, this MOU contemplates the Parties will ultimately execute additional documents, including a final agreement to more fully define their relationship. The negotiations will require the Parties to share certain confidential information, contacts, funding sources and other

All Parties shall then meet and confer within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the original grievance.  If the Parties cannot resolve such grievance at the required meeting and conference, then the aggrieved party may choose whatever alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) procedure it desires, except that the following procedures shall control:

(a)A hearing shall be held by the arbiter, selected as set forth below, commencing no later than ten (10) days after selection of such arbiter; 


9



(b) The arbiter shall be (i) agreed upon by the Parties within ten (10) days of selection of the ADR procedure, or (ii) in the event that the parties cannot so agree during such ten (10) day period, agreed upon within five (5) days after the conclusion of such period by representatives of the ADR procedure; 

(c) At the hearing, the aggrieved party shall have not more than one hour to present its case.  Each other party shall then have not more than one hour to present its case, the aggrieved party shall then have one half of one hour to present any rebuttal, and each other party shall then have not more than one half of one hour to present any response.  The arbiter shall have the ability to award the arbiter's expense to the prevailing party.  In connection with such ADR process formal rules of evidence shall not be required, and the arbiter shall have discretion, within the limits set forth herein, concerning any and all matters in connection with the procedure. Any party not complying fully with the timing or meet and confer obligations hereof shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed with the other party's reasonable contentions.  Any attempt to avoid or any non-compliance with this procedure shall be a material breach of the Agreement.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbiter shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

19. Restrictions on Assignments

Neither party may sell, transfer, assign or subcontract any right or obligation hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.  If a funding for the Trinidad project occurs before C3B clears its offering circular or registration statement with the SEC, C3B may assign this agreement to American Condor Resources Corporation which has interlocking directorates with C3B.
