  • BTU will maintain any existing third-party royalty buy-back rights in respect of the Acquisition Properties (see Royalty Buyback map).

  • Kinross must make a further CAD$2,000,000 of expenditures within 48 months of the effective date of the Agreement (a total of CAD$4,700,000) to acquire 70% interest
  • Upon exercise of the option the parties will form a joint venture agreement with BTU owning 30% of the project
  • If Kinross does not exercise the option within 48 months BTU will retain 100% of the Optioned Properties

Subscription Agreement
