Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Option Agreement, in order for South32 to earn and maintain its four-year Option, South32 must have contributed to Minera Metalin for exploration of the Sierra Mojada property located in Coahuila, Mexico, at least $3 million by the end of Year 1, $6 million by the end of Year 2, $8 million by the end of Year 3 and $10 million by the end of Year 4. Funding for each annual tranche is made on a quarterly basis based on the subsequent quarter’s exploration budget.

In addition, the Amendment includes provisions relating to a special purpose bank account of the Company into which Capital Advances by South32 must be deposited in certain circumstances.
