Cap-ex will have the right to purchase 0.5% of the royalty for 1 million dollars for a period of 24 months from closing.

The Agreement calls for the Company and the Vendors to enter into formal agreements (the "Formal Agreements") on or before February 12, 2011.

The Agreement and the Formal Agreements are subject to their acceptance by the TSX-Venture Exchange.

THE LABRADOR / QUEBEC IRON ORE PROPERTIES

The Labrador / Quebec Iron Ore Properties (the "Schefferville Properties") consist primarily of interests in Newfoundland and Labrador License Numbers 014603M and 017736M together with Quebec Licenses CDC2133176, CDC2260945 and CDC2260957.

Block 103, which includes the Newfoundland and Labrador licences, consists of 94 continuous mineral claims covering 2,350 hectares, located within the Labrador trough 25 kilometres northwest of the mining town of Schefferville. Block 103's northern boundary neighbours the New Millennium Capital Corp. ("New Millennium") mineral claims, reported DSO current Resource of 44 million tones. Block 103's southern boundary neighbours Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Ltd. ("Labrador Iron") and New Millennium mineral claims contain the New Millennium and Labrador Iron DSO deposits. Labrador Iron plans to commence DSO production early this year and New Millennium is planning to produce 4 million tones DSO per annum. Block 103's west boundary is approximately 3 kilometres east of New Millennium's LabMag Resource of 5.7 billion tonnes at 29% iron. New Millennium plans to start development in 2012.

In June 2008, MPX Geophysics Ltd. undertook a heli-borne magnetic survey. Results from the 2008 survey showed Block 103 covers some of the most intense positive magnetic responses in the iron ore belt. These responses will be modeled to determine the depth, geometry and volume of the magnetite-bearing horizons, and estimate the concentrations. In addition, the area of low magnetic response will be analyzed to target horizons of DSO (hematite).

Block 44 which includes the Newfoundland and Labrador licenses, consists of 104 continuous mineral claims covering 2,600 hectares, located 15 kilometres south east of Schefferville. The claims cover both the east and west arms of a large interpreted magnetic anomaly. Historical reports by Iron Ore of Canada confirm the presence of iron ore.

Lac Connelly which includes three Quebec licenses, consists of 88 mineral claims covering 4,100 hectares, located approximately 200 kilometres north of Schefferville. An undrilled hematite horizon extending over 3,200 metres and up to 300 metres wide grading 45 to 60% iron was reported in 1955 (ref Natural Resource Department GM03035).
