In consideration for receiving $20,000, the amendment gives EBM additional time to make certain cash payments and incur exploration expenditures.

EBM can exercise the option by paying a total of USD$1,495,000, issuing shares of EBM worth an aggregate of USD$3,300,000, and incurring a total of USD$500,000 in exploration and development expenditures over a 12-month period commencing from the date of the Amending Agreement.

Should EBM begin commercial production on any part of the Property, it will pay ACME a royalty calculated at 1.0% of the Net Smelter Returns (NSR). In addition, all proceeds from metals or commodities produced prior to EBM exercising the option or before commercial production commences will be paid to ACME. EBM has the right, at any time prior to commencing commercial production from the Fish Lake Valley Project, to purchase one-half of the NSR from ACME in consideration for a one-time cash payment of USD$1,000,000, or alternatively, to purchase the whole NSR from ACME in consideration for a one-time cash payment of USD$2,000,000.
