    security (currently approximately $450,000) that was posted by the
    Company;


2.  cooperate with the Company to execute and deliver a Safekeeping
    Agreement with the Government of British Columbia, which relates to the
    reclamation security to be provided to the Government of British
    Columbia by Gold Crown and AMT;


3.  pay to the Company the amount of $4,000,000 which represents the balance
    of the purchase price for acquisition of the NSR; and


4.  pay a total of $400,000 in extension fees, consisting of a fee of
    $200,000 to extend certain deadlines under the third amendment (dated
    February 6, 2013) to the letter agreement dated August 7, 2012 among the
    Company, Gold Crown and AMT, and a fee of $200,000 to further extend
    such deadlines under the Amended Agreement.

The Purchasers must complete all of the above by no later than 3 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on the earlier of June 10, 2013, and the date that is five business days after either Mineral Invest or Gold Crown complete a financing of at least $11,000,000.

Despite the delay in receiving the full payment, the Company did receive $530,000 from the Purchasers in January and in addition to receiving $624,568 refund from the Canada Revenue Agency related to the 2011 Mineral and Exploration Tax Credit (METC) in March, there is sufficient cash on hand for the Company's general and administrative expenses and for advancing the J&L Gold Project metallurgy testwork planned for 2013.
