- Aurizon will be the operator during the earn-in period for the initial 50% interest in the project, after which a joint venture will be formed.
- After earning its initial 50% interest in the project, Aurizon may then elect to earn an additional interest of 15%, for a total interest of 65%, by making cash payments totaling $300,000 over three years from the election date, incurring expenditures totaling $3,000,000 over three years from the election date, and delivering an independent pre-feasibility study by the end of the fourth anniversary of the election date.
- In addition, in the event that prior to the end of the eighth year of the initial option agreement, mineral resources of at least 2,000,000 ounces of gold, at an average grade of at least 6 grams of gold per tonne, are discovered, Aurizon shall make a payment of $1,500,000, payable in Aurizon Common Shares, subject to regulatory approval.
