The Property is subject to a 3% net smelter returns royalty in favour of third parties, which may be repurchased by the Company for the aggregate amount of $300,000. Upon closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company paid cash $10,000 to Nevada CMI and issued 100,000 Shares to Nevada CMI. These Shares are subject to a hold period expiring September 25, 2012.

In conjunction with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company completed a non-brokered concurrent financing (the "Private Placement") of 3,000,000 units (the "Units") of the Company at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $600,000.

No finder's fees were paid in connection with the Private Placement. MillenAsia Resource Inc. ("MillenAsia") has purchased the entire 3,000,000 Units.

The 3,000,000 Shares and 1,500,000 Warrants issuable pursuant to the Private Placement will be held in escrow pursuant to the Exchange Value Security Escrow Agreement dated May 7, 2012. The Company has been advised that the Units were acquired by MillenAsia for investment purposes, that MillenAsia has no present intention to acquire further securities of the Company, although MillenAsia may in the future acquire or dispose of securities of the Company through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant.
